Can't drink tea or coffee either, only cold drinks for some reason, and we get through a two litre bottle of coke a day in this house

I do like a good cup of coffee but its too much hassle in the morning to brew it as instant is naff and I like cappuccinos.

I drink my tea black which is a pain as you can always see the gunk floating on top. Now I use a water filter which is a lot better. Not quite the same hit as coffee though

Anyone tried green tea? SUpposed to be a Chinese herbal tea.

I bought some, and it is really quite nice with sugar, and at first does make you feel more awake.

However... it has a bad habit of giving me really bad stomach ache, making me burp all day, and also sometimes makes you fell a bit stoned. Not sure what is in it, but have now decided to ditch it for normal tea with lots of milk

P1Fanatic:
Try a plastic filter coffee maker (sort of funnel), paper filters, and a good ground coffee.
Takes seconds longer than instant, but the flavour................Oh yes.

I got told by the doc not to drink caffeine (coke/coffee/tea etc) when I was a kid, but once I grew up I started again

I just love a nice cup of coffee - realy good after an Italian meal as well.

Run outta milk today though So just had a beer instead

Mmmm, how good is beer

AMT do the best coffee. Tastes the nicest, and is the cheapest of the US coffee chains, too.

For anyone who's not tried one, may I recommend a Cafe Maya - with cream on top. Has to be tasted to be believed.

For day to day coffee it has to be Kenco Smooth. Drunk it vor years now, and love it. Have tried others, but they just aren't as creamy as Kenco Really Smooth

Though, Kenco Rapport is quite nice - stronger, but nice

Don't like coffee myself and only if its freezing cold will I force a tea down me, with about 50 sugars in it.
However, this stuff looks pretty funky: www.extremecoffee.com.
Found www.energypimp.co.uk selling it over here. Nice!

That's one good thing about living in Portugal (and there aren't many) - the coffee here is fantastic! Real stuff, not your poxy Nescafe dishwater. We have a Gaggia machine at the end of the corridor at work, you make as much as you want as often as you want.

Probably contributes to productivity too!
