So, in the middle of switching from coffee to tea. I dunno, guess I'm just enjoying the entire process of making tea much more enjoyable than coffee.

Also, there's a whole lot of variety in tea. Even non-teas, like tisane I'm finding enjoyable to source materials for it, making it, and of course drinking it.

I think the lower caffeine content is also doing me good too.

So, do you prefer tea, or coffee? Or, both?

This sounds strangely familiar.

When did you start dating my ex-wife?

Tea. Coffee is good after the evening brandy or whisky, it seems appropriate.

Coffee from age 15 to 19. It's been tea ever since.

I've got one too, and a percolator... Maybe I just got burned out with coffee, as I've gotten pretty good at making it. I never thought there was "good coffee" other than not being burnt, but learned a lot, especially with temperature and proper extraction.

I do like tea sometimes, especially a good Chinese green tea at a restaurant.

But I really like good coffee. Been grinding beans and French Pressing since the early 80's.
That's when I found out how good coffee could really be.

Before that I got my caffeine from Dr. Pepper. Even in the morning. :lol:

I like iced tea in the afternoon, especially when we are having Chinese food. But I gotta have me some coffee from getting up time till tea time. My wife is a tea lover, and hates coffee.

I like using the French press from time to time, too. Mostly when I have time, and Im not in a hurry. To me, it really makes the coffee or tea a bit stronger and a little more mellow.

French press does a good job with tea and chai. If you are so inclined.

One of the places I frequent for coffee and a respite will grind sulawesi kalossi for me and run it through the espresso machine. This is the best way to really enjoy the flavor of sulawesi kalossi and pull out every nutty note.

yes. i make coffee at home, but will drink tea when out and about. there are varieties of coffee and tea. my coffee is either from a french press or drip through a melitta-style cone filter. the french press tastes better, but the filter is easier to clean.

I brew iced tea for afternoons and evenings, and recently had to switch to decaf for mornings.

I guess I should 'fess up to the fact that I do like a cup of green tea from time to time.

I prefer coffee by far. With coffee I get a nice caffeine rush. But I have to be careful.too much will give me a bad case of the nerves. Therefore I limit myself to about 1 cup 2 or 3 times a week at most..

You sound more like a coffee enema person if what you say is true but whatever the case may be, be awesome to each other.
