Tea: strongish, sometimes milk. Coffee: strong with milk, occasionally add a tsp. or so of honey or maple.

RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Dark roast, half a packet of sugar, a lil bit of milk
At home, the plain black Mokkamaster does the trick, some times with a little vanilla or hazelnut to change it up between cups. At work, a double espresso with a ristretto and some water, so basically a strong americano for every cup through the day.
If my coffee doesnt taste like dessert then i don't want it. Why bother? I'll just drink water instead.
I don’t.
Tea lots of sugar, more sugar than tea probably, coffee just large amounts of espresso without milk or sugar
Hot coffee, Cafe con leche unsweetened or barely sweet (espresso with lots of milk)
Cold coffee, cold brew on ice with a little milk and pretty sweet
Hot black tea with a little milk, or spiced chai with milk and sugar
Cold black tea just ice or mixed with lemonade
Hot green tea nothing just tea
Cold green tea with nothing but ice
A while back a freind regifted me a coffee frother she had never used.
I put the milk in the microwave for 30 seconds and froth it. I like to add it on top after pouring the coffee.
I make concoctions. I like ginger tea with either ginger honey crystals or another Chai tea bag, a bit of creamer and sugar. I don't like coffee, but I was really into dunkachinos which I found out was just coffee and chocolate. So I do espresso and hot chocolate. I also put ginger in that. Fruit teas are sugar only.
Coffee black if I'm making it at home with my fancy stuff. Otherwise I'll put cream and sugar in it. I usually drink tea without anything in it.
Working on weaning out caffeine. My current coffee blend is mostly decaf with a few beans thrown in from my last caffeinated batch, ground myself and cold brewed for 13-16 hours, taken just with a splash of half and half cream and no sweetener.
