What's your preference - coffee or tea?
TEA!

Instant or brewed?
BREWED! (Can you get instant tea?...)

How do you take it?
I feel like shouting "through the eyeball because that is the fastest way to get anything into your system and vrroooooommmmm", but that would be a lie. I carefully place a teabag (pyramid tetley's generally) into a nice shapely mug, add a rounded teaspoon of sugar and gently pour boiling hot water into the fray. After about thirty seconds or so I add a light drizzle of milk before removing the teabag, swiftly stir the freshly brewed tea and then clink the spoon on the rim of the mug in a satisfyingly rythmic action before placing the spoon (face down so that the tea does not pool and congeal for the next mug) down on the side.

Do you have a favourite cup?
I like deep rounded mugs with a satisfyingly rich glazing. I often have a bit of a giggle with novelty mugs that say things such as '18 today!' too. Generally though no, no real specifics.

How many will you enjoy during a normal day?
Well today I drank 7 mugs. I'll probably have another couple before I go to bed as well but for a working day I'd say today is about average.

Does it matter if you don't start the day with a coffee/tea?
I like to do so but I can just about manage without it. Just.

...and now my dear fellows if you haven't tried this already,it's your turn.Do you take coffee or tea?

N.B. Before anyone tells me off I already know that this is not the correct hitchhiker's guide way to brew the perfect cuppa and will shoot you on site if you chastise me for not listening to Mr Adams
