I am a software engineer. Coffee goes in, code comes out

I never understood why it has to be one or the other.

Sometimes I prefer coffee, sometimes some green tea in the morning, sometimes a cup of matcha if I'm feeling fancy. A cup of lavender tea with honey in the evening can be pure bliss, but an Italian affogado (espresso with vanilla icecream) in the afternoon can also be really perfect.

Btw it is also possible to like cats AND dogs.

Tea. Partially because it tastes better, but also partially because I have a low tolerance to caffeine. Drinking coffee just makes me feel jittery and shaky, not focused.

Coffee all morning, because sleep. Iced tea all afternoon, because Atlanta.

I drink both. Coffee during the day, herbal tea right before bed, other teas as I feel like it. My favorite teas are ginger and chai.

Sugar in coffee is an abomination and I will die on this hill.

Keep your hot bean soup, I will drink my boiled landscape baggings.

Tea all the way. I’m super sensitive to caffeine, so I even have to switch to decaf tea after noon or I’ll be up all night.

Love using herbs from my garden for tea in the evenings - lavender, lemon balm, peppermint, chamomile

Mostly only drink tea while I'm sick. I drink coffee every day getting up with my wife, but I'd rarely drink it on my own.

A few weeks ago my wife went out of town for a long weekend and I had the most persistent headache that wouldn't go away. When she came back, it went away as soon as I started drinking coffee with her and I realized it was caffeine withdrawal. I hate being physically dependent on coffee, but it's a big part of our morning ritual.

Coffee is just too bitter for me unless I overload it with way more cream and sugar than is healthy. At that point all the caffeine and sugar makes me way too jittery. On the other hand, I enjoy drinking tea black, so tea it is.

Coffee for me started as a utilitarian drink for extra focus in the early hours, and then I started liking it. Tea never really had a function for me, so I never got into it in the same way as I did with coffee.

Never liked coffee. I usually drink Yorkshire tea in the morning, but sometimes mix it up with other black teas. If I drink any during the day, it’s green tea. Evenings are for herbal teas if I have any.

I've been quite coffee dependent ever since about age 16. Sometimes I like to take a week off, facilitated by a massive two litre teapot. In summer, iced tea is my crutch of choice.

I like both quite a bit, and even got into the hobby culture for each.

Tea is simpler in preparation, but way more complex in terms of varieties. There is a huge difference between a chinese black tea and an assam black tea, even though its the same core ingredient, prepared in a similar fashion.

Coffee on the other hand has fewer varieties, but way more variables in preparation that can drastically change the flavor of your cup. The size of your grind, the brew temperature and the extraction time all have pretty major effects on thr end product.

I gave up coffee as part of my daily routine, so, tea. I try to switch up with camomile in an effort to moderate the tannins intake.

Tea always. I mean, coffee sometimes, but my go-to is tea. Yorkshire Gold, 2 sugars, small splash of evaporated milk.

I love coffee but nowadays I tend to drink tea a lot more. I don't like the taste of instant coffee, and that's all I can get at work - so I stick to tea. I also can't handle caffeine as well as I used to, so I have decaff.

At home I've got a nice coffee machine. I buy decaff beans and grind them - it's all about the taste for me.

Coffee, but I can get the ick from coffee once in a while the way I do with eggs, then it's either tea or nothing.

Also add a cup of tea in winter evenings since I don't wanna go over one cup of coffee a day.

Coffee. Tea gives me a stomachache. I love the flavor of tea but I never have the willpower to stop steeping it after however many minutes you're supposed to steep it

Tea. Yorkshire. Hot.

I like the taste of coffee but I'm way too sensitive to it so I'll only get it when sitting in a coffee shop with a bad tea selection. Tea doesn't seem to have any effect and there's much more variety. I've had times in winter when I was drinking 4-5 cups a day.

Coffee. Usually black, but I sometimes grab a cappuccino.

I never liked tea.

Coffee is either a social thing for me or part of a nice sunday breakfast with quality beans, a hand grinder and V60 filter. I don't believe it gives me actual energy, I prefer better sleep for that.

In other situations I drink tea. I always love browsing tea shops on holiday trips and get some for me or as gifts. There is a limitless variety of tea available. Something for everyone.

Coffee in the morning, Sleepy Time tea before bed

Coffee, black with too much sugar.

To me, tea always seemed like it was just hot water that's unsuccessfully trying to taste like sticks and flowers.

Coffee. Caffeine doesn't really work for me in terms of giving me energy, but I like the taste of a nice cup of cortado.

I like tea as well, but can't stand the herbal stuff. Only Camellia sinensis for me.
