Vigorously stirred.

Allowed to brew for 4 minutes while I do sommat else.

Skimmed milk into mug.

A nice mug of tea to start the day off well.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Nice, nice. 'Cept for the stirring and skimmed milk bit, can't abide skimmed in tea.

I thought tea had more caffine than coffee?

Thats one of those Urban Myth Things.......

ie Gram per Gram Tea has more than coffee....... but you have 10grams of coffee in a "cup" but only .1g of Tea in a "cup".... not meant to be accurate figures but you get the gist!.......

Maybe it does, but one teabag (what I use for the flask) surely doesn't compete with half a dozen Nespresso capsules.

[Spacecadet]

Have you got a cold?

Tea here, which I put in a flask. First cuppa at home, the rest at work.

There's free coffee at work in the form of a Nespresso capsule machine, but it's easy to overdose on the stuff, hence the tea in the morning.

I generally fill by water bottle up with fresh water which comes from my own well.

I'm assuming this is a euphemism for Urine Therapy?

Tazo Zen for me, green tea with mint and lemongrass.

Started with a green tea this morning. Fancied something a little refreshing.

Start with a standard Nescafe(instant) of course first thing in the morning if I have been drinking beer or wine the night before, otherwise just a plain cup of tea, one sweetener, milk, teabag stirred and squeezed for a golden brown mix.

Just off for another coffee at clientco. Kenco. Mmmmm.

More coffee vicar?

Diet Irn Bru, slightly warmed by the fat ****ers standing next to me on the tube.

Oddly enough, I don't seem to have that problem.

your problem is getting hold of enough humans to fill the blender.
BTW: do you sieve the result or do you prefer the drink with the bits in?

[Halo Jones]

Can't face making a drink so its apple juice all the way until I am at work & a bit more human

So had I... I happened to see some on sale for under a fiver so bought one.
Takes a little while to get used to putting in just the right amount of coffee but once you've got the knack they're cheap, easy and portable!

I start witha nice cuppa before I leave the house and then a cappoucino with an extra shot when i get into work.
Clientco has an in house starbucks .
I would usually get a caffe nero coffee but there's none near enough that don't require a 10 min walk.

I think I'll bring in my own cafetiere from now on.

Too much hard work, the Miele, grinds the beans, fills and empties the coffee filter, even cleans it's self. All you have to do is empty the used coffee container when full.

The miele does look nice, but I don't find the coffee pot hard work.
They don't need cleaning.. infact cleaning them is bad. Just a rinse in hot water will do
And it takes only a couple of minutes to make the coffee

[Spacecadet]

I've been thinking about getting one of those for ages!

coffee made with one of these:
Bialetti Moka Express Espresso Maker, 3 Cup: Amazon.co.uk: Kitchen & Home

top up the mug with hot water then add some milk

Skimmed milk into mug

If that had been condensed milk into a bucket, you'd have a proper Sergeant Major's brew
