Coffee, tea, red wine are all good, but sitting up the lottie drinking a nice freshly brewed cuppa and contemplating the view must be the best. Why does tea taste better when made outdoors?

Went off tea years ago, so it's coffee for me - heaped spoon of good quality instant, level spoon sugar and loads of milk. I love it with all milk actually, and will sometimes mix coffee and cocoa in together.
Later on G&T/Pimms if the weather's warm.
After that Red Wine - and as Hayley said, loads!All the best - Glutton 4 Punishment

I've never got into coffee. It's one of those flavours of which I just can't see the appeal, like beer. It's obviously just an opinion thing because I'm massively out-numbered by the people who do like it.
I do enjoy a nice cup of traditional english, every-day, tea. I don't have a prefered alternative that can really compete (expect a mojito, but I think I like that because I don't have them so often). Nothing could stand up to tea when drunk on such a regular basis.Current Executive Board Members at Ollietopia Inc:

Olli,I never liked tea or coffee.Got to the stage,in my late teens,that I felt awkward for not liking so decided to go for one or the other.Chose coffee...black & no sugar(if I was going to aquire a taste for it,might as well go for the lowest calorie option).Possibly took me a good few weeks of gagging but now am a total coffeeaholic.At least until early evening when it gets swapped for wine or beer.the fates lead him who will;him who won't they drag.

I'm not a fussy eater, but if I don't like/enjoy something, I'll just avoid it. I once considered making myself like beer (hard to feel like a real man when you have two older brothers who tease you about not liking it), but I just couldn't convince myself that it was nice.
Not sure why I'd want to start enjoying coffee, unless I was trapped in a life-or-death situation where the only way to survive was to drink coffee!Current Executive Board Members at Ollietopia Inc:

Couple of cups of Earl Grey, black, no sugar first thing.
Two litres sparkling water throughout the day, glass of white wine followed by glass of red sipped slowly through the evening, maybe a bit more with dinner. And loads more water (I drink tons of the stuff).
Prosecco or something else sparkly on Saturday early evening, followed by more wine...I don't roll on Shabbos

Coffee preferably, but tea if no coffee is available - so long as it has milk and three sugars (in a mug), I'll drink it.
Except after working in the club and nights out - then it's spiced rum and coke all the way - preferably doubles.

I've got funny habits (now that won't surprise you).
Morning: coffee, but only two or I go all stressy
At the lotty: grapefruit squash or Diet Coke
Afternoon: Earl Grey (can't do brown tea)
After school/after 4pm: squash, or in winter a herbal tea
Evening: red wine at the w/e, or OJ and tonic if I'm teetotallingAll gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.

Milky 'red bush' tea for me, defo no coffee. Have given up diet (which I can have as much as I like of on my diet)cola (well I am trying reeeeally hard to anyway) as the dentist is telling me I have no enamel left on my teeth!
So I am switching to water. But I hate it, so am weaning myself onto normal water with those flavoured waters...but don't tell my dentist as the acid content with the fruit juice is still high
Oh and a highlights hot choc when I need something sweeeeeeet lol

We did a school experiment with eggshells: leave one in cola, one in orange juice, one in vinegar etc.
