How

& Jimbo still manages to stay up til 3am :O

Maybe it's because I don't like it and see no physical need for it

I do like tea though

Some tea's have caffeine so fair hahaha.

I'm the polar opposite in that regard lol. Taste - impeccable. Smell - amazing. And the caffeine? What a bonus.
Honestly a lot of the pleasure I derive from a cup of coffee is actually the taste etc, rather than the caffeine (thus why I tend to drink decaf at times so it doesn't wreak too much havoc on my liver & concentration).

 

[totally_screwed]

When you don't drink coffee...

What do people think of KitKat Chunky and Tim Tam?

I haven't tried kit kat chunky but I reckon it's not that great

but tim tam is totally amazing literally tastes like weight gain, I can't believe 1 serving size equals 1 tim tam is it even possible to not eat at least 2 or 3 at once

Lol I probably drink the weakest non-decaf coffees....mocha, latte.... a cappuccino if I'm game

@jimmysmith560 what teas are your go-to's?

 

[nilatar]

Max-strength espresso shot is the only go...
I like the taste of coffee, so throwing any cacao powder on top or whatnot is simply tainting the experience... No go zone for me. I stick to lattes / flat whites, and yes sometimes a espresso shot if it's a good quality bean.

Although I still drink in relatively low quantities. Tea helps when I've stayed up past midnight and haven't gotten enough sleep the next day. I can't remember when I last had tea for example

That's awesome! I can relate to this, but with maté tea (which I also rarely have haha).

You should try it, I think you'd like it more than a regular KitKat.

Tim Tam is great, but like you said I do try to eat 1 or so per day...

You're obviously a coffee professional haha. My dad drinks a variety of coffee and also both my parents drink Turkish coffee.

I'm not a tea expert but I mainly drink black tea and maté tea (although I don't perceive maté as a type of tea but whatever I guess haha).

Wow...I personally don't like that full-on coffee flavour. I find it quite bitter.
Also, I never thought I was a picky food/drink person, but this thread is exposing me...to myself

Enlighten yourself to a high quality brew then... And yes, if the barista burns it even slightly it will taste bitter. Gotta get it juuuuust right.

Also remember that coffee is an acquired taste, and a lot within our generation are yet to get hooked on it, so by disliking coffee you are not 'picky' whatsoever.

Oh nice. My parents have mixed tastes in coffee, but only my grandma (overseas) drinks that really strong Turkish style coffee.

^I liked black tea a lot at one point, but now I'm a big fan of Twinning's English breakfast. Green tea or chamomile occasionally as well.

Yeah I guess that makes sense....
15 years from now, my BoS spirit will tell the tale of when I drank an espresso shot without gagging

Envious. I'm yet to try proper, authentic Turkish coffee. Have only had the knockoffs you find in Woolies / cafes.

yeah i slowly eased myself into coffee (super weak and a hefty amount of milk and sugar) but over the last year or so i've ended up drinking 4-5 cups a day (black)

i dont care what anyone says tho coffee is far too bitter to taste good by itself and to this day i am repulsed by its taste

it also ends up staining your teeth and thats not a good look

Once again, for a shot of espresso to be a pleasurable experience, you'll need a good barista equipped with some good quality beans.

I like Whittaker's Chocolate

I like Whittaker's Chocolate

I think I’ve tried that once, it wasn’t too bad tbh

 

[may22]

Anyone?

 

[cosmo 2]

cocoa

 

[BLIT2014]

Whaaaat? They discontinued that? It's been a while since I've had a taster but that's a hard blow... Sad times.

Yeah has been discontinued for ages after they started introducing/trying out new gross flavours like mint.

 

[Drdusk]

Lindt and Cadbury are some of the worst chocolates.. just saying.
