Lol. No I like crumpets, and had them for lunch yesterday. Tea may be the national beverage in the UK, but it is definitely not for me. Even the thought of it makes me feel nauseous. Coffee is definitely my thing. _________________ Trumpets:

Stay away from black tea.
Suggest green tea in moderation.
Herbal tea best for little/NO caffeine ... which is the precursor to anxiety. _________________ Sub-Optimal Hillbilly Jazz |

Just recently, I read about carbonated cold brew coffee. May have been (?) a European innovation.
Never have seen this stuff, here in USA.
Anyone ? _________________ Sub-Optimal Hillbilly Jazz |

Neither tea nor coffee! Louise told about her reaction to tea - I agree!
This has to do with a child hood experience: as a little boy there was a question - was I suffering from rakitis (I didn´t) so my mother brought me to a certain "healer" in town who prescribed an extremely unsavoury mixture including tea. For years after that I couldn´t even stand the smell of boiling water.
never again! I dislike the taste as much today as back in the day.
What about coffee? Nope only at very very solemn occasions. Can´t stand the taste! Besides that makes it impossible to go to sleep.
So what do I drink?? Milk! Me and the Phantom. Hence my strong playing. _________________ Cornets: mp 143D3/ DW Ultra 1,5 C

I recently bought an espresso machine and absolutely love it! It really takes the coffee game to the next level, I have a latte every morning and have never felt more productive! Truly recommend it. |

Life long coffee drinker here, I switched to tea only for 6 months and as much tea as I drank, even up to like 6-8 cups a day, I couldn’t get the same energy and mood boost that one coffee gave me. Coffee is not just caffeine, neither is tea, they both have complex effects. I picked coffee back up and it was like in the cartoons, a lightning bolt hit me and I suddenly felt alive again.
But beyond the drug I just love the taste of coffee. It’s completely different, very strong, has a great mix of floral, roasted, bitter and sour. There’s as much coffee out there to explore as tea and so much variety in flavor and quality. It’s fun. |

I had one cup of coffee when I was sixteen. Hated it. Haven't had tea since I was 18. Orange juice is my preferred morning pick-me-up. _________________ Bryan Fields

Since nobody else has responded to this, I will.
It's called Nitro, and it's cold coffee infused with nitrogen, not carbon dioxide. They taste very different, carbonation is slighty bitter and nitrogenation has a sweet taste.
Most coffee shops in the US have it. You just have to know the name. |

Two double shots of Espresso in the morning, in the winter I might have a cup of tea late afternoon/early evening as tea doesn't keep me up like coffee does. _________________ Bach Stradivarius 180S37

Arrrggghhhhhh.....
Off coffee???? Is that really possible????
I'm a coffee guy, every morning, 2 cups. I've got probably 2 dozen different coffees to choose from, so sometimes I just drink one, sometimes I mix a couple to come up with a new flavor! There's just something about that coffee scent wafting lazily throughout the house, permeating the senses as you slowly come to wakeful consciousness in the early morning (yeah, my poetic streak is coming through, I know) that really just starts the day off right.
Off coffee? Not for me, thankfully!
But..., I also drink a ton of iced tea (I'm in the South) every day as well. And on those few days when I may have a sore throat or something like that, a cup of hot tea with just a touch of cream and a bit of honey (try it instead of sugar, it's really good) really hits the spot.
For me, I gave up sodas a long time ago, so get my caffeine fix through coffee and tea. ☕☕ _________________ Richard H

Kaempfert was a masterful arranger.
Tasty ... classy ...
"Tic-Tac bass" (syncopated upright-acoustic bass, together with electric solid-body bass) over a slightly behind-the-beat soft snare drum, and tight kick drum ... his signature "sound". Listen closely. _________________ Sub-Optimal Hillbilly Jazz |

Agreed. And don't forget the ever masterful Leroy Andreson with his orchestral tunes like "Syncopated Clock," "The Typewriter," "Plink, Plank, Plunk," "Clarinet Candy" and all sorts of other wonderful pop tunes of the era.
And of course, my personal favorite, "A Trumpeter's Lullaby" (which I played in Solo and Ensemble competition when I was in junior high and got a 1 rating on it! _________________ Richard H
