This is a coffee community, not an espresso community. Here's my evil drip brew machine and morning abomination (infosec.pub)

I like espressos (especially mochas) but they take a bit of work to prepare a single cup. With drip brew, I can do very little and get unhealthy amounts of caffeination into my corpse. Also, I pour ungodly amounts of creamer into my coffee. That Mason jar is quite literally half coffee half creamer.

Personally tea is my everyday thing. Coffee is a special treat; but I do have a fondness for drip coffee. It makes me feel like I’m at a deli!

I love coffee, but Twinings Irish Breakfast tea is delicious. I usually have a cup in the afternoon/evening.

Twinings anything really

You might also enjoy Harney & Sons Scottish Morn (loose tea). That's a good gateway into loose teas. Can get a metal tea basket for it cheap from Amazon. Then after that you might try a CTC like Darsam CTC.

I use the Clever for loose tea to save on cleanup. I buy Ceylon and Assam from various places to make my own blends but nothing ever seems to quite match up to Twinings, dunno what magic they’re doing.

This is indeed a great workhorse tea!

Same, but more so because too much caffeine gives me anxiety, and not enough caffeine gives me headaches. I'm not addicted, I can quit whenever I want!

[–] seat6@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago

That’s true. I like that with tea I can be nearly constantly drinking it during the work day!

I also drink tea fairly often. Not as regularly as coffee, but often. Usually black with a dollop of honey.

If it’s a real hot day, I like to throw a bunch of hibiscus leaves in there too. Makes me feel tropical lol

Hibiscus tea is my board game drink for some reason. Every time I play a board game I need to have hibiscus tea. No idea why anymore but I can’t go without it now.
