A least I don't drink thin bean soup.

Coffee literally tastes like burnt asshole.

I'm okay with people not liking tea, but the audacity of a goddamn coffee drinker to imply that tea taste worse than their brown bean shit-water is ludicrous

ITT people who think all coffee is like the Z-tier roasted-until-burnt held-until-stale blasphemy they serve at Starbucks.

ITT people who think all tea is the result of oversteeping a lipton bag in a cup in the microwave.

ITT people who think any random plant plus hot water is "tea" but are oddly specific about what is "coffee".

Coffee and tea are both delicious.

Energy drinks, on the other hand, taste like battery acid and bile. That's where your scorn should be directed.

As an enthusiast for both leaf soup and bean juice, it seems like most coffee drinkers think of cheap, old, dusty teabag tea, overboiled to taste like bitter vegetables in sewage water, while most tea drinkers think of pure dark overroasted burnt coffee, preground too finely (or as the worst kind of instant coffee), tasting like acid in an ash tray, like those are your only two options.

Both coffee and tea can be so terrible and also so wonderful. I guess my favorite coffee takes quite some preparation and my favorite tea cost me about as much as a junkie's crack addiction. But both can be really nice if you spend a little more money on a quality product and take the bit of effort to prepare it properly.

You can have my “Tea, Earl Grey, Hot” when you pry it from my cold dead fingers.

The taste of tea is heavily dependent on how it gets brewed. Correct brewing temperature and time steeping play a huge role on making sure too many tannins aren’t extracted and it ends up tasting like hot garbage.

Both are good

Yeah man coffee tastes so good, which is why most people drink it half mixed with milk or full of flavoured syrups.

Coffee tastes like hot soil juice

Bruh coffee is just a caffeine delivery juice, you have to put cream and sugar in it just so it doesn't taste super bitter. A lot of tea tastes good just on their own. Scoreboard.

Simplified down, coffee is burned seed wash water.

Coffee is just bean soup

As a soda drinker, I'm enjoying this cat fight.

Yeah whatever. Enjoy your heated bean water.

Coffee snobs who use those plastic capsule machines that produce bitter tarmac pishwater

I personally find that tea tastes better usually than straight coffee. Can't stand straight coffee and need to go to a coffee shop to get a flavor I'll enjoy. But with tea, I can handle most teas I've tried without having to add anything that changes the flavor. I'll take the leaf juice over the bean juice any day, when we're talking no additional additives.

Yes, I too prefer burnt bean water over hot leaf juice. Sorry, Uncle Iroh.

Alright bean soup enjoyer.

The problem is that the widely available tea brands (at least in America) are usually shit, and people not knowing how to make it right and end up using scalding hot water when making green tea or microwaving the water with the bag in. I get my tea from tea shops and use an electric kettle to get the brewing temps right, and now a lot of grocery store teas are disgusting to me.

I like good coffee too, but when I have it I often feel sick later and the caffeine content sometimes sets off my anxiety.

I love how coffee smells, and heavily diluted in an icecap or something, it's fine.

Straight up, though? Disgusting. I've tried for years to develop the taste for it. No dice.

A well prepared tea just goes down easier.

Even a caffeine free green tea is a step above hot water. And I'll drink straight hot water on a cold day in a pinch.

Bagged tea you get at the grocery store does suck, it either has no flavor or it's all artificially enhanced. Loose leaf is where it's at.

SMH y'all just making water worse. Pure, undiluted water with just enough crap in it so that it doesn't literally strip your ions or something and kill you. That's the best drink.
