Oar Ill-it-ar-a-ci? har har, to quote my pal Loaf.

Which do you prefere? Coffee or tea? I drink tea myself, and though I like the smell of coffee, I despise the taste.

Coffee is huge in North America, but I'm not sure about Europe.
 
Despise coffee, and occasionally drink tea. Other than the occasional hot cocoa, I guess I prefer my drinks cold

Generally, coffee in the morning and tea in the evening. Also coffee sometimes after a large meal in the evening. If the coffee is good, I drink it black. I will occaisionally add honey to tea, but that is it.
 
Coffee in the morning, tea after 3:00 PM. My personal taste for coffee is a brand called "Eight O'clock Bean" which is great mellow stuff. For Tea I love Darjeeling but use Earl Grey when I aint got my fav around.

I'm a big tea drinker, but I love coffee as well. I like espresso and cappuccino and I like Earl Grey and Celestial Seasonings teas.

Depends which is stronger. Usually coffee is. In the morning, I'm so sleepy I chew the beans. Then as the effect wears off by lunch, I go out for an Iced Cappuchino.

Then I just drink Coke for the rest of the day.
 
Tea. Black. No sugar.

I used to drink Tea, dark white, 2 sugars for over 40 years until I found I had an allergic reaction to liquid sugar. Cut the sugar, but with just milk it tasted foul so went all-black.

I used to love Coffee, but I can't drink it any longer, due to acid reflux.

I drink both.

Coffee with 1/2 a teaspoon of sugar or tea with honey.

Because coffee is readily available at my workplace I usually drink coffee at work, and make tea when I'm at home.
 
I'd like to revise my answer just a little. I'm just expanding it, really. I take tea, with nothing in it. I used to put sugar in it until I read a convincing essay by George Orwell that, in part, explained why one shouldn't do that. After explaining his reasoning, he suggested that anyone who sweetens their tea try it without sugar for a fortnight. I took his challenge, and you know, he was right. It is better without sugar.

Coffee I don't drink, unless it's in a frappuccino or milkshake kind of context. I don't care for normal coffee. I even think it smells bad.
 
Tea in the morning, lunch and in the evening. Tea all day. Hot and with enough sugar you could let it sit two days and it would start fermenting.

Click to expand...

Well, I didn't go the Orwellian route, but I too went 'cold turkey' and dropped sugar for a week. I don't think it tastes as GOOD, but it certainly has a pleasent taste, minus the guilt of swallowing all that sugar.

Broadcasting live, from the Congo Basin.....

"Well, I started to pour my tea, and simultaneously started daydreaming, and before I knew it, I had filled the cup with pure tea (is that 'black' tea, then?) with no room left for milk!"

....lying on a sun drenched rock beside his favorite bathing waters, Cunobelin Of Hippo prepares to taste this dark mixture.....

"Well, it's really hot without the milk. Luckily, I have some cookies at my side to wash out any nasty taste."

He rolls away from his expensive Macintosh and brings the cup to his enormous, flubbery lips....

"AHHGH! Bitter! The aftertaste is pure salt! Cancel that plan, I'm going to get some milk!"

Experiment Conclusion: Milk:good, Tea without milk:bad. Thank you for your time.

Personally I hate the thought of needing a cup of coffee in the morning.... my stimuli is a warm shower. I don't mind coffee, I drink it straight black.... But I like tea better... Apple Cimanon is good.
Have you guys noticed my tendancy to use (...) a lot?
