Nope. Horrible stuff!

I'm a tea drinker, and proud of it!

sometimes and only in winter and it has to be early in the morning.
summer and any other time it is tea all over. mint tea and green tea nothing else would do. morning and afternoon everyday. love it! ;)
supermarket coffees tastes horrid. very good coffee costs a lot of money and it is difficult to get so I keep to tea like Loka said. I am a tea drinker throughout the year.

The only time I drink coffee is when I'm with my bestie, she loves coffee. I'm not even sure what I get is coffee anyways, I always order stuff like caramel macchiatos or white chocolate and peppermint lattes.

I love coffee. I drink it all the time, even when it's 100 degrees outside. I only drink it hot, no iced coffee for me and unless I have some of my beloved coconut creamer, I drink it black.

my day doesn't start until after my first cup. All day every day , black every time, double espresso at coffee houses (I do visit them on a very regular basis) and from the machine at school it's Red eye.

I'm with Lokasenna. Don't like the taste of coffee, so I drink tea. Exception: Safeway has a coffee ice cream with dark chocolate chunks that's very good.

I have been struck by how prevalent coffee is in the Scandinavian literature I read. Its like the Russian equivalent of vodka. It shouldn't surprise me all that much as I grew up in a very Scandinavian area of the state and everyone drank coffee like water there. ;)

Actually, I like coffee, but I am very sensitive to caffeine, alas, so only in small doses for me. About once a week or so I like to indulge in the cafe mocha at McDonald's. It's the best. I also like their regular coffee, with plenty of cream and sweetner. It reminds me of a steamy diner on a winter's morning, but I love the coffee/chocolate mixture better.

I also like tea, chamomile or one that a friend sent me, mao feng green tea. I drink tea most mornings. I also found a chai tea at Starbucks for when I want something to sip on and I can't have coffee.

I like coffee but I always prefer tea, in fact I’m addicted to it. I also like Kashmiri Chai, it a kind of tea.

My day doesn't start until I've had one either. I like tea too, in the afternoon (Earl Grey, Prince of Wales or the other one that in the Twinings selection boxes), but I'll have at least one cup of black Polish style coffee in the morning. Sometimes I'll have a milky coffee in the afternoon if my stomach can handle it. If not I'll have tea.

My grandmoter used to drink coffee all day. She was surprised she had heart flutters... Ahem...

I was told once by a colleague too, that farmers used to drink cold coffee on the field. It was good against thirst, she said.

I can only speak for my little island in the sea but coffee is very big here. I have been drinking it since I was 11 and most people my age drink a lot of coffee. That shines though in literature and tv I guess. Young people are also more aware of quality coffee and the slave market behind cheap coffee.

I drink a lot of tea too but for some reason I see it as an evening drink.

Some days I can drink 4-5 cups a day, especially if I'm working on something.
