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.

        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.

      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!

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

        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.
