Instant coffee is just dire, NONE are any good, no matter how much you spend.

Correct! Aeropress if you must have a quick coffee!

I reckon OP is trolling with such a controversial opening post

Teabag in for 5 plus minutes.

Loose leaf, never use a tea bag!
No milk, no sugar. Tea is great as it is, why try & hide the flavours? :confused:

Milk removes the tannin taste for me so strong tea with just a drop of milk. Milk in first if using a teapot, last if using a teabag as the tea doesn't get hot enough otherwise.

For instant coffee, a bit of cold water in first an then the hot so the coffee doesn't scold and the drink isn't too hot (ie a cup of boiling water).

White always comes before black.

Milk > sugar > teabag

Welp. You can't leave that sweet low-hanging fruit just dangling there. Do share!

Boiling water is best for instant. Burning your taste buds at least makes it drinkable!!

Other than treadmills (but I think that was a plane on a treadmill?), I can't remember any of these being discussed. Like to hear more about 3. Though

Ah, I can see a whole topic turning into civil war over number 3, that's bait man.

Tea bag + sugar then add boiling water, brew for 2-3 minutes and remove bag, tiny drop of milk just enough to turn the color, then add a bit more water to fill the cup.

1. Some wrong-brains prefer to stand up whilst using the facilities to deposit a number 2. Several threads later - all of them closed - no one is sure which way is best.
2. Plane on treadmill, yep.
3. An argument for reduction or mathematics?
4. Every page of GD has someone moaning about why TV LICENCES are really, really hard. That sentence is funnier if you read it like President Donald Two Scoops Trumpf would say it.

Do non of you use a teapot ? :eek:

I refuse to pay for tea if it's just a teabag in a half empty cup as some eateries seem to think is o.k.

And as for milk

it goes in first otherwise tipping cold milk into boiling hot tea scalds the milk and sours the taste ( info from Twinings, 300 years of providing tea)
