Who Likes coffee?

I enjoy coffee and when I was on the Force, I drank a lot when covering the overnight shift. Just pour me a cup or a mug with nothing in it, except once in awhile I used French Vanilla.

It's funny how the coffee culture has changed over the years. When I was a kid, we would drink coffee perked a big percolator. Can't find those around anymore. Then it were drip Melittas (which I still use). Now there's everything else. I'm not too fussy but I do find that freshly ground coffee with fresh coffee beans makes a much better tasting cup. I'll add milk or cream if I have it and it's the best. I think it's all about trend and the marketing. So many coffee places around.

But there's a new kid on the block now - tea -- we have fancy tea shops springing up with loads of new choices. Not the run of the mill Twinings or regular Red Rose Orange Pekoe - these are teas of many exotic flavors and leaf qualities. A new trend.

I agree on the freshly ground, Starbucks breakfast blend, my favorite.
 
I love my Keurig coffee machine. I have an attachment which allows me to add fresh ground fair trade coffee if I wish. Also enjoy different flavoured coffee pods, and flavoured creamers. One of the few less than healthy additives other tan sweetener I use.
 

We have a lovely boutique tea shop here in town which sells every type of loose tea imaginable, including Chinese flower tea, so named because it opens into a flower shape when immersed in hot water, love the teas. Sed them to family in the wilds of frozen Winnipeg,Manitoba.

I drink a lot of different teas. Black, green, Moroccan mint, camomile, Earl Grey, nettle & fennel, very occasional Rooibos, and in Uganda we always drank the tea that was grown there - as loose tea, and would add a sprinkle of tea masala spice mix.

Me too, Annie, I have found one I love by Tazo....called Passion, sometimes I mix it with regular tea, very good, kind of a spicy flowery taste.

Sounds nice. The one I have I bought on our last trip to Uganda and was made in Kenya. Ingredients are: black pepper, cardomom, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and nutmeg.
