There was a time I didn't drink coffee. And then everything changed.

Read more about my coffee journey here.

Are you a tea or coffee drinking person? As an English man told me, when, one afternoon, I offered him coffee because he had had it in the morning, he said "it's morning coffee and afternoon tea!"

@Yamfoot

I enjoyed reading that, thank you.

Real coffee tastes so very different to coffee-flavoured water.

Never liked it have always been a tea person plain no sugar no milk

@Yamfoot

Cannot offer an opinion.

My parent did not introduce me to such pleasures as coffee or tea..a Brit staple in its society.

Triple shot of espresso ..black...nothing added to start my day every day. Well..except Sunday..I do church first ..then a triple shot. Been doing it for almost 10 years.

Once in a while I may put a couple drops of heavy cream in.

@Yamfoot

 "it's morning coffee and afternoon tea!"

hear, hear..

@FanAttick

A bitter Greek coffee, after the main course, when everyone else having chocolate and cake…one of life’s pleasures

@Yamfoot

I used to be mostly a tea person growing up, then I came to America and continued primarily as a tea drinker with occasional coffee whenever I go out for breakfast.

About 20 years ago I became more of a coffee drinker, but haven’t given up tea.

@Yamfoot

A packet of chocolate in hot milk infused with some instant coffee, I have found to be a great Sunday morning treat. To up the pleasure add a little cinnamon, nutmeg and a little condensed milk.

Since it is Xmas you could up the ante with half and half milk and eggnog or 100% eggnog.

@CWW

Essentially not a coffee drinker misself, due to my parents not being consumers. But during my long sojourns to PR in the 1980's I took a bit of a liking to café con leche (made with Cuban coffee), so I can see eggnog in the recipé and will try it. Cool.

@CWW

I make the real cocoa (unsweetened) and add about 2 tablespoons to my coffee most mornings. If I don't have the real cocoa tea, I use the unsweetened Grenadian cocoa powder.

Then I add heavy cream or half & half. No sugar. Yum!

@velo

I drink tea in the afternoon only.

Red Rose is my favourite, with some heavy cream or half & half. I recall working somewhere near Nottingham as a temp during my university days. One day, one of the ladies in the office offered me some tea. It was the best tasting tea! So I asked her what was the secret and cream was part of it (not evap milk which people in the Caribbean sometimes call cream......incorrectly).

@Cheeks

Wow! I feel my head taking off just thinking about triple espresso!

I went to Sardinia, Italy one summer. They drank espresso like water! I did not acquire the taste. When I go to Jamaica and go to Cafe Blue for a cappuccino, I ask them for a single shot of espresso instead of a double shot.

Nice thread....now looking forward to coffee this morning

@Yamfoot

Coffee for me....after being brought up on tea

@Yamfoot

I used to have 4 to 5 cups per day. That plus my usual 2 Guinness. Damn I miss those days.

@nitro

what happened?

@FunnyMan

After a 1 week stay in the hospital, with the lovely nurses deliberately placing me beside a guy who was being prepared for stomach surgery, I cut the alcohol. Took me a few more years to reduce the coffee to 1 per day. Acid Reflux is a bitch.

@nitro

copy that. all the best.

@Curtis

It's one of the highlights of my day!

@nitro



Oh wow! Hope you are ok.

Having my one and only cup of straight back coffee right now. Can't do it past 10:30am for some reason.

Had a cup of tea to start my day earlier (as usual). Will have a cup of tea again around "tea-time" at 3pm and then one more at or after dinner.

@Yamfoot

I think I need to drink more Cocoa.

Potentially or factually maybe more nutritionally beneficial.😏

@nitro

My goodness how did you sleep

@FunnyMan

I usually only have one cup, except if I didn't get enough sleep.

And I won't have a second cup later than 12 noon.

@StumpCam

I went to a chocolate demonstration 2 weeks ago and the guide said it makes your skin smooth and mine is very smooth. No wrinkles.....and I am in my 60th year!!

@Yamfoot

What's the cocoa content of the chocolate you like?

@googley

I use the unsweetened cocoa powder. For the chocolate bar, I eat the one with 70 - 71% cocoa content.

@Yamfoot

A morning without coffee is not the same! Must have 1 cup only for my day. 😎

@pelon

Wait...yuh still deh bout?????

What ah gwaan?

@Yamfoot

Love the 70% cocoa Chocolate bars. Dont use the powder.

A cup of good coffee is a must in the morning.

@Cheeks

Well..except Sunday..I do church first ..then a triple shot.

Is that so it would be easier to sleep in Church?

@Larr Pullo

Cheeks not answering you!

Who had their coffee this morning?

Had my usual cup at home, then had another cup at work (unusual!) But it is not Blue Mountain, so.......

....buy Blue Mountain

Did you read the article?

@Larr Pullo

Is that so it would be easier to sleep in Church?

Nah sah lol. I am usually busy pongin pan with the choir...so can't sleep anyway.

@Yamfoot

Cheeks not answering you!

@velo
