I can't stand coffee. I hate the smell and the taste! As a matter of fact I can't eat anything even remotely coffee flavored. I drink iced tea, once in a while hot tea. My dad is the same way, but my mom is addicted to coffee.

I tried coffee a couple of times, but I'd get an intense headache about halfway through the cup, so I decided it's not for me. I'm a confirmed tea drinker, with or without sugar.

My husband used to just prefer tea, until he switched jobs years ago. There was always a pot of coffee brewing there, but no tea was available, so he switched. After years of coffee drinking he got to the point, when on days at home, he'd drink 2 or 3 pots of coffee during the morning and early afternoon, then most of a half gallon pitcher of iced tea the rest of the day.
About a year ago he suddenly decided all that coffee might be bad for him, and switched back to tea all day.

My mother would get a yen for some coffee before she went to bed, and rather than brew some fresh, she'd reheat the stuff that had been sitting in the pot, sometimes since morning.

I like very sweet drinks, and no matter how much sugar I added, I couldn't get coffee sweet enough. So I gave up on it. Don't drink tea either.
I admit that was cute
That said- coffee actually isn't bitter. The only bitter coffee is the coffee that's not prepared properly.

Coffee and tea are good for you so I drink them both every day. I just don't add any sugar and only a little cream in my coffee. I have a rule: Sweet food: bitter drink. Salty or spicy food: sweet or cold drink. I have maybe 3 or 4 sodas a year, tops. I see people drinking a soda and eating cookies and I cringe.
Clover Farms Icy Tea is the only sweet tea I drink. Its called liquid crack for a reason.

I drink one large (10 oz.) coffee every morning with a shot of Mud Slide in it instead of sugar and cream. Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!! If I'm in a restaurant and can't have the Mud Slide, I drink it with cream.

Sodas are on the way out now as very very few people drink them unless its a novelty thing ( EG: Pepsi Throwback ) since people today when they think sodas they think "instant-fat". Even the fast food places are cutting back on sodas in favor of those energy drinks, teas and flavored coffee such as McDonalds with their McCafe for example and Arbys I heard recently had made a deal with Rockstar energy drinks to begin that chain's phaseout against offering Coke and/or Pepsi products. All for the benefit of one's health they say but I still don't see how a Rockstar energy drink is any more "healthy" than say regular Pepsi but that is for a different thread.

Me..I can drink tea but not in a can for some reason. Coffee..never really got into that.

I tried to drink some coffee once, I spit it out and tossed the rest in the trash.
Give me decaf green tea or give me death ! Can't deal with caffeine (or alcohol) anymore being prone to gout and kidney stones.

I've drank coffee since I was 10 years old.

I've got a brother who only drinks coffee at holiday gatherings after dinner. I know several people throughout my various workplaces who didn't drink coffee. I love my coffee but if I didn't drink coffee I wouldn't have any bad habits left (except City-Data)!

Two large mugs of PG Tips tea with milk and sugar start my day. Never coffee.

A friend's mother had this to say about proper tea preparation:

Milk before sugar means you'll lose your lover!

I always put the sugar in the cup, then the milk, then pour the hot, strong tea into it. Pure bliss!

I could write an ode to tea!

I used to drink coffee every day. I love the smell but always put a lot of sweetened creamer in it. My husband quit drinking coffee several months ago because he winds up drinking too much of it at work--cups and cups--and then he can't sleep well. I stopped drinking in a few weeks ago because I don't want the extra fat and calories from the creamer. I drink a cup of green tea in the morning instead.
