coffee versus tea people

Sep 27, 2005 28 Replies

I thought this might be an interesting question.



Many of the more introspective people I know drink tea. And many of the more extroverted people I know drink coffee. I drink both (coffee in the morning, tea at night, so I'm not sure what that makes me). I know in rec.food.drink.coffee, there's many more posts than here....I understand generalizations are sometimes unfair, but I wonder if there's ever been a study of personality types and what preferences, tea versus coffee, they have. Anyone have any thoughts?


coffee is a tool of the middle class to better serve their masters.

There are fewer posts in this group because tea drinkers tend to be luddites. I mean, when was the last time anyone in this group talked about dangers of heating water in one of them new-fangled microwaves?

She's speaking in ASCII. It's how computers encode text.

So, THAT's the stuff that Bela Lugosi was pouring into corpses in the movie _White Zombie_.

Unless you're a Luddite, in which case they use EBCDIC, CDC Display Code, or Friden Five-Level.

Wow does that take me back...:D

(And I think strictly speaking it's binary I was typing in, not ASCII, although ASCII is what it translates. But what do I know.the only programming I ever did was in Apple Basic. Oh, and I cheated and didn't work it out on my own, I had to use an online translator. So I'm not the ubergeek.)

Are there many coffee-drinking vegetarians?

I can't answer for many, but I can say there's at least one. She works with me, drinks coffee, and is an active member of PETA.

No, you're not. But a geek binary other name is still a geek. ;)

Yes, many millions.

N., coffee is a tisane

Definitely not my type. My wife drinks tea, wears fur, and swallows anything I put into her mouth.

All caffiene addicts are equal, just some are more equal than others.

90% of the people I know drink tea and coffee, depending on occasions or offer. What's the conclusion ?
