Hot coffee. Black, dark roast, with no additives, so I can taste it. Some call it mud the way I like it.

Tea, iced with lemon and sugar. I like both black tea and green tea. My mom likes the herbal teas and introduced me to a hibiscus blend with a hint of cinnamon. Good stuff hot. I don't think it would taste good cold.

Coffee  to kick start the day ,instant Columbian black no sugar . I like a good barista Americano if I go to a cafe, green lemon tea is what I have the rest of the day. Flask full to go to my workshop, also have some Indian chia with ginger that is nice for a change. Have to let them all cool as cant drink hot stuff, will drink them cold as well as quite often happens when working and by the time I get to it its cold or luke warm.

Coffee black and strong enough to wake my neighbors. My exes called it mud. I called it delicious. I don't want to taste the sugar, cream, vanilla, chocolate, or any of that. I want to taste the coffee.

I allow myself to have two cups in the morning and no more. I have enough trouble sleeping at night without adding more caffeine.

I do enjoy teas, black, green, and herbals like rosehips or chamomile. But I enjoy those as a treat, not daily fare.

Hot coffee.  Dark roast.  Unadultered.  Too strong is not possible.  Sediment is a bonus.

Cold??  Ewwww!

Coffee, dark roast, black.  Tea if I have something in the evening.  You used to be able to get varietal teas: Ceylon, Darjeeling, Oolong, etc., but now it is just "orange pekoe" (i.e. generic tea) or stuff with fruity flavours.  Ick.  So coffee it is.

I drink coffee on a morning and tea later on. Both with 2 sugars and milk. Sometimes just instant coffee but I also have an espresso machine at work and home.

Double espresso shot in half a mug of warm milk is definitely my preferred way. Done at high pressure so a crema forms on the coffee. Much less bitter than filter coffee I find.

I prefer black breakfast blend coffee light roast. Light roast has more caffeine. Coffee started to upset my stomach really bad. I switched to 0 sugar Monster, still a high caffeine content. If I go out for breakfast unsweetened ice tea.

You still can get them here, though that's probably not surprising!

There is only one tea that is relevant and required. Yorkshire Tea - this covers all requirements 😄

I can find the varietals in the states. It's actually very common
I agree with @Stottie Girl Earl Gray Hot. I know

Yes that is true, I'm sure Lauren will confirm. You boil them up and pour the mixture through a tea strainer. You don't want hair in your tea, we aren't barbarians!
