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
