Funny what we say,,, who has ever tried dishwater as a drink ??, I used to use the expression years ago aswell, lol,,

[HotStuff]

OK, tastes insipid, like what I would imagine dishwater would taste like, happy now?

[sharonr]

Does it taste like washing-up-water? I`ve accidently drank that.

It has to be filter for me. I used to drink Nescafe but when I taste it now I wonder how I ever drank it. I get the occasional notion for a cup up tea.
I drink them both black. I used to take milk, but when my FIL died I took a complete scunner to milk and haven't been able to take it since. Isn't that strange.

I only really drink coffee at work (instant), although I do sometimes have a cup at the lottie (I keep some instant and sugar there with a cup and spoon and only have to remember the milk), however the first cup of the day has to be tea!

I tried percolated coffee once and it put me off real coffee ever since - it's too strong and bitter for my liking.

[coomber]

Got to be "real" coffee, strong and black, Illi is my fav. I do sometimes drink instant when nothing else is avaliable.

Coffee is gross. In any form or variety.

I drink tea, only decaff, and am partial to Red Bush at the mo. Not so keen on fruity teas as they smell like heaven and taste like wee.

OH drinks his filter coffee so strong you can stand the spoon up. He only ever has one (black) first thing. And if has a particularly difficult prob to solve will make another one mid morning. But he never has any after lunch as would be wired!

[bubblewrap]

I can't stand tea.

[sharonr]

I can't stand tea.

Me neither. But I like the smell of it when it has been in a flask for a few hours.

[squashysu]

tea is yukky, but coffee has to be Mellow Birds or similar with lots of milk (in before the water) with no sugar lol!!

So come on someone put the kettle on i am gagging lol!

I like decent instant, or filter, with lots of milk and 1 sugar. However... I really can't drink it because it turns me into an evil beast from hell. Really, I can be in a perfectly happy mood, then half an hour after coffee I'm ready to snap at anyone who breathes the wrong way So I never drink coffee Tea, or hot chocolate at the lottie.

Kenco instant (preferably with milk, or evaporated) or certain types of filter. OH likes coffee from the cafetiere. I hate the 'bits'. I have a 'hotplate' espresso machine. My 'real' coffee is usually Columbian, but I do like Waitrose own brand 'Rich Italian'.
It's odd that in Spain the espresso in the cafes is nice, but you can't buy decent coffee (for my taste) to make at home!
Nescafe just isn't nice, and a lot of 'real coffee' is too bitter for me (I like strong flavour, but not too bitter).

Load of waffle there....

We drink Clipper Organic Earl Grey or Lapsang Souchong.

Mr R likes coffee too so I make him a cappuccino. I grind Starbucks house blend beans (they are really nice and 'moist'), froth a bit of milk with a little stick frother, and sprinkle a bit of Green and Blacks cocoa powder on top! At weekends, he gets it in a heart shape...

I'm not mad about coffee but I'll have one once I've gone to all that trouble!

A fruit tea I can recommend is the Twinings Cranberry, Raspberry and Elderflower one. Scrummy!

*that reminds me - time to make a batch of t-bag wine
