Tea or Coffee?

I drink any caffeinated drinks really slowly so that I don't get as many side-effects... I'm not a fan of how it makes me feel either, so I lower the amount of caffeine and drink it gradually, so it's just very minor change in my mind... otherwise, I bounce off the walls and get heart palpitations galore if I have too much and drink it quickly!

It probably does affect me but I seldom notice anything unless I have lots of coffee over a short period (half a dozen or more cups). I usually have coffee from Arabica beans though so there is naturally less caffeine.

Caffeine has a bad reputation, doesn't it?

Caffeine doesn't affect me at all: I guess I am lucky.

In the summer, I make the max 7 cups of tea my machine can do, for our iced tea ; but usually I put about 3 cups of water in with one teabag, just for me. (No loose tea on hand these days.) I would see if you can make less coffee at one time with the 8-cup model! Imagining all that caffeine in your system has me buzzing already.

Caffeine is one of the items that affects blood sugar, so I'm watchful for myself. Even black tea that's decaf should be for about midday...

I was taking in too much water, so i have cut my cup-fulls down to 50%, and drink just as often. Problem sorted.

My son got me a tin of breakfast tea, as part of my xmas hamper. I don't drink tea, but you have to try it occasionally, particularly when it was a favourite of mine in the past.

It's horrid - taste session over, and time to put the kettle back on for a coffee.

And I fixed my milk shortage yesterday, so I had a pumpkin spice latte today. 😁

I like that. Equating another day to Monday. I'm going to have to remember to do that when the opportunity arises.

I'll likely have a latte tomorrow... I need to get up early for a meeting! Still happy with my new decaf to mix in with my caffeinated one so far.. my kitchen has a nice coffee smell every day now because the bag is on the counter lol I don't think I want to store it away now.

I never have coffee but I can't say the the same thing for wine. 

I decided it was time to start making iced tea again. I don't sweeten it, though, just make a full pot in the teamaker and use three tea bags (since I still haven't switched to loose tea yet). We've got peach in the fridge now, and I'll do blueberry next time.

I think I might be missing something. A lot of these teas sound absolutely delicious.
