This is perhaps the most important question one can ask.

Do you prefer coffee or tea?

If I need something warm to wake me up, then Tea. I'd rather have Coca-Cola though.

Both are good. I used to be a big tea drinker, now that I have my coffee pot in my bedroom I tend to go with coffee though.

I'm tempted to try putting a couple tea bags in the coffee spot in the coffee maker though, see if that works any good. If it does, I have options! :D

I myself prefer a good cup of Arabica bean coffee.

No plebeian Robusta beans shall touch my tongue.

Depends on what I am trying to accomplish. If I'm interested in consuming a caffeinated beverage then it's coffee, but if I just need something hot to drink then it's tea.

I haven't gotten all that picky on coffee...yet. Right now all I have is Maxwell House BOLD (emphasis theirs...) and it gets the job done reasonably enough. If I had a coffee grinder (that hasn't been used for....other....things) then I'd probably try out some nicer stuff.

In the morning or when I need a recharge, I like a cup of strong coffee. Those are the times I really need to wake up, only a coffee or an espresso will do the trick.

Other times of day, I prefer tea. One thing I noticed is that drinking a cup of hot tea after eating something greasy (like fried chicken) makes your stomach feel a lot better.

Next time I have the motivation to actually leave my apartment to get that kind of food, I'll definitely give that a shot.

Yes you can make tea that way.

Yes, this is a vital question and I'm glad someone brought up this important subject. Tea for me! Always. Coffee gives me a migraine.

You didn't ask what kind of tea. So, here are my preferences in order.

1) Lipton Yellow label with cream.
2) Earl Grey with lemon.
3) Jasmine tea - but only the brand Yamamotoyama (available from most oriental grocers).
4) Green tea - also Yamamotoyama - with lemon if iced.

I prefer tea. But I can't say "No, thanks" to a freeze cappuccino :)

I have a coffee when I first get up, and usually an instant cappuccino when I get home(unless I treat myself to a latte at Starbucks or Costa in town). The rest of the day, it is tea for me, of the decaf variety because I am sensitive to too much caffeine...it causes me to have anxiety attacks.
