Tea Or Coffee ?

[zoltanspawn]

I absolutely love the smell of coffee in the morning, but if I drink it on an empty stomach I tend to feel a little uneasy afterward.

Try cold brew sometime. It's easier on the stomach, and when well-made I find it even more delicious than regular brew or espresso.

100% Colombian coffee beans ground fresh as needed in a grinder that uses two plates to crush the beans not one of those "blender" blade types. It heats up the beans and they lose flavor.

...

I ALMOST agree with everything JD said!

It's gotta be fresh ground beans. However, I do use a "blade" grinder, but only in three 10sec. bursts, with a 5sec. pause in between, so it doesn't overheat the beans.

My morning coffee is made in a Cuisinart drip brewer that flows into a thermal carafe. The only air that touches the coffee is when it drips from the basket over the touching carafe top ... all of about a 1/4 inch, or less. There is no heating plate under the air-tight carafe, and it will keep the coffee "at temp" for hours. Since it hasn't been oxygenated too much, the coffee stays fresh until it is poured.

Colombian coffee is good, but I also like Arabica, Blue Mountain, and Kona.

Gotta have my Coffee!

I need to limit my daily intake of caffeine. Therefore, I have one cup of either Starbuck's or McDonald's.

Hmmm...I need to pick up a pack of coffee filters at the store tonite. This thread reminded me of that simple fact. I still the use an old Gevalia drip machine I've had for years. I guess an upgrade is in order...

Coffee in the morning, and possibly tea before bedtime. I have an old fashioned perculator that I prefer to the drip coffee maker. I love watching the coffee bubble up in that little glass lid. Folger's is my coffee of choice, and lemon spearmint tea is my hot tea of choice.

I'm a whatever-comes type. For coffee I love it strong. My tea is usually with condensed milk but less sugar.

However, a bowl of cereal always starts my day!

My favorite brand of coffee is Turkish Black, I used to buy it in Dubai. Sadly it is not exported to the states. Bali Gold is very good too.

Any Jubbers want to send me some?????

I prefer tea since coffee contains caffeine.

But I normally just drink plain water.

I like both tea and coffee. If I had to choose, I'd say tea, although I drink a lot more coffee.
I buy cans of Tim Hortons coarse grind, and make it in my vintage percolator. I think it gives a nice flavour.
