If my coffee doesnt taste like dessert then i don't want it. Why bother? I'll just drink water instead.

Coffee: 2x teaspoons of coffee (3x if it's cheap coffee), 2x teaspoons of sugar, milk in first to avoid any burnt taste and to stir it up a bit before pouring, then stirring continuously while pouring. If it's filter coffee, I'm not particular about the order that the milk goes in.

Tea: Also 2x teaspoons of sugar, milk in last after letting it draw for a little bit. And to also be unnecessarily specific here, I pour the hot water directly onto the tea bag and kinda slowly, seems to maximize draw. And if I'm not in a hurry, I let it get nice and strong before taking the tea bag out or if I'm in a hurry, I'll just leave the tea bag in.

More of a coffee person than a tea person though.

With tea I normally stick to green teas, mint or lemon, sometimes a little sugar just for a bit of sweetness. More something to help me relax.

Coffee depends. If I'm making it myself, it's coming out as road tar and gets a couple spoonfuls of sugar. If I'm out ordering at a cafe or something, I normally grab a hot Mocha.

Dark roast, half a packet of sugar, a lil bit of milk

Masala chai with as much sugar as can be dissolved into the water. 4 spoonfuls for a large teacup, 3 for a normal size teacup.

Sometimes a splash of milk.

With tea its usually a black or green tea. Black tea sometimes with a little bit of milk and green tea with some fresh lemon and ginger.

I prepare my coffee with a Moka Pot and add hot milk(1:1) sometimes with foam. If i don't have the time or the necessary tools I'll just put 3 spoons of coffee in a cup, pour hot water over it, stir it and drink it black.

Working on weaning out caffeine. My current coffee blend is mostly decaf with a few beans thrown in from my last caffeinated batch, ground myself and cold brewed for 13-16 hours, taken just with a splash of half and half cream and no sweetener.

I make concoctions. I like ginger tea with either ginger honey crystals or another Chai tea bag, a bit of creamer and sugar. I don't like coffee, but I was really into dunkachinos which I found out was just coffee and chocolate. So I do espresso and hot chocolate. I also put ginger in that. Fruit teas are sugar only.

Coffee black if I'm making it at home with my fancy stuff. Otherwise I'll put cream and sugar in it. I usually drink tea without anything in it.

Hot coffee, Cafe con leche unsweetened or barely sweet (espresso with lots of milk)

Cold coffee, cold brew on ice with a little milk and pretty sweet

Hot black tea with a little milk, or spiced chai with milk and sugar

Cold black tea just ice or mixed with lemonade

Hot green tea nothing just tea

Cold green tea with nothing but ice

A while back a freind regifted me a coffee frother she had never used.

I put the milk in the microwave for 30 seconds and froth it. I like to add it on top after pouring the coffee.
