Strong black coffee. No flavored coffees.

Tea also with no sweeteners or milk. I like most teas (both regular and herbal), but my favorite is Earl Grey; got to have my bergamots.

Love espresso. Usually just make drip coffee, but like french press too.

Just wondering tallman what you think a biscuit in the UK is called? What you may name as a biscuit we know that as a scone. Can somebody help in the translation please? Same here in Oz.

Usually drink my coffee black but will add cream & sugar now and then.
Tea depends on type. I drink a wide range of teas. My favorite is Lapsang Souchong which I drink black or add a slice of orange in it.

Biscuits in UK are flat round kind of cookie like, but not a cookie. Not what US calls biscuits, especially not the kind they call biscuits in the south

In USA I think people dunk donuts or other pastry into coffee, at least that's what my parents did. Young folks seem to have lattes and other high calorie coffees that do not need anything extra to dunk. At least when they get coffee to go from coffee stops. Coffee is like beer over here. There's so many aficionados here that many homes grind there own and have their own preferred methods of making them. My ex used to use a cold press, I've known others who love percolated coffee although it's hard to find now. My daughter takes after my ex in that she's fussy about coffee beans and how it's made but does drink herbal teas too.

Personally I don't dunk anything in my teas but sometimes I get UK biscuits from the store and do dunk them. There's something more duck able about them.

The difference between biscuits and cakes - cakes go hard if left out - biscuits go soft-
In the UK a scone is a cake (either plain or fruited) usually with butter and jam( us jelly)
The american Oreo is what the UK call a biscuit.

English breakfast tea with a tiny splash of low-fat milk, and a couple of gingernut biccies on the side for dunking.

Or, plain ginger tea.

Usually Chai with a bit of milk & half teaspoon sugar. Love herbal teas too, mainly Mint and Lemon ginger. Biscuits are nice with them, but we never seem to have any.

Coconut mocha with whipped cream.

Taster's choice coffee with milk and vanilla creamer.

I can't drink much coffee anymore so occasionally I will have a skinny coconut mocha but not very often.

I can't stand coffee by it's self. Put it in a latte (vanilla soy latte's are my fav) and i'm happy. But with tea, I prefer high quality Assam with just a little bit of raw honey. If I'm given a really good assam with some avocado blossom honey and a small pastry I'm in love.

I use Coffee Mate and sometimes sugar in coffee.

In black tea I use Coffee Mate and sugar. In green tea just a little sugar or honey. Same with herbal teas.

I can't have caffeine.... But when I would drink coffee I had full fat cream or half and half. No sugar. I liked green tea and oolong better than black tea and would not put and sugar or cream in. I also really liked mochas but they just have too much sugar.
Now I just stick to organic herbal teas. Mainly peppermint or Chamomile with Lavender. No sweetener of course. Speaking of, I think I'll brew up a pot of cham lav.

Coffee and tea both black or with honey. (real honey from a beekeeper, not the manufactured stuff supermarkets sell as honey) But my stomach can't handle coffee and tea, so I only drink coffee when I have a headache or am about to fall asleep when I need to stay awake, and I only drink herbal teas.
