Friday question NOT from the book of questions What's your preferred caffeine delivery system? Coffee, tea, or other?

Coffee, of the strong and black variety. Though I like me my double shot soy latte. And have a weakness for Yorkshire Gold and Earl Grey tea.

Usually coffee with milk and sugar, sometimes unsweetened black tea.

Coffee, strong, black, no sugar.

Coffee, milk no sugar if it's good coffee. Milk with sugar if it isn't.

Tea that either has ice in it or not, but it has to be cold, I hate hot tea. It needs a *little* sugar, but not nearly as much as when I was a girl.

Any kind of soda (also cold).

No coffee.

Also in an emergency, these.

The world doesn't exist until I have my cup of black coffee first thing in the morning. During the day I'll switch back and forth between coffee and tea, always without milk or sugar.

I am like octothorpe, don't talk to me before I have had at least one cup of my weapons-grade black coffee first thing in the morning. I normally drink two cups, but I can be civil after the first one.

None. I don't do caffeine, it makes me jittery.

Diet Red Bull.
When I tried the 5 hour shot it gave me a niacin flush and I thought it was a hot flash.

Never developed a taste for coffee. Tea I prefer iced but my poison of first choice is Cherry Coke, with Dr Pepper a reasonable second.

I start my day with strong black decaf coffee. Then switch to strong decaf iced tea.

Caffeine is delivered via diet soft drinks.

Dr Pepper Zero or Diet Coke, or coffee (black no sugar for good coffee through my Aeropress, white with a tiny bit of sugar for instant). Sometimes tea (strong, milk, one sugar).

Caffeine doesn't affect me so I usually stick with decaf tea. If I do want caffeine, then a soda (specifically Coke, root beer or the occasional Dr Pepper)

I don't seek out caffeine. I love coffee but if I drink it every day for a whole week, I'll get headaches when I stop. (This often happens when I come back from staying with my parents.) So I make sure to limit it. I like tea, all kinds. I don't like most soda.

One of my favorite summer indulgences is iced coffee with milk and a little maple syrup.

I make a huge batch of cold-brew iced coffee every week once the hot weather begins. Occasionally I throw a few springs of mint in there to steep during the brewing process. It's refreshing and delicious.

Espresso. Usually a straight-up double. Just one in the morning.
I do like a strong iced coffee, made with cold-brewed java and a bit of milk. A small one in the afternoon.

That's it.

Coffee. I was never a coffee drinker until I met Mr. V. back in 1999. I always had loved the smell of coffee, but never the taste..until one morning he made me a cup. And I loved it. And I've had coffee ever since.
