The Caffeine Thread

[bmer]

Nowadays I drink more tea than coffee. Both black and green. I tasted white tea in a tea house in Cordoba (Spain). I really liked that one.

Do any of you guys (and ladies ) drink tea?

Sometimes I much prefer tea to coffee. Black tea and green tea, I like them both.

I love tea. Indians drink a lot of tea. I don't drink too much of the traditional indian tea aka Chai, but I do drink green tea made by a company called Arizona in the US.

It's Arizona Green Tea with ginseng and honey!

Yes, lots of tea!

Green, black, iced (well I'm in a warm climate), and herbal but only if I'm sick.

I'm not into the flavoured ones.

Loose and bagged!

Anybody familiar with "Teavana"?

 

[NarutoRamen]

^^Never heard of Teavana. Is that like Tea from Havana, cuba? LOL

 

[notic]

yea i've heard of teavana, its a tea store chain in the US right? I mostly drink loose leaf asian and indian tea on the weekends. A cup of tea in the morning doesn't have enough caffeine to wake me on week days. i'm going to go to my local tea shop this weekend, anyone have any suggestions?

I like minted tea, or at least tea with a mixture of several sweet and spicy tastes... I can't explain it well, maybe someone else can? My only beef with tea is that it can get quite hot after drinking it, because the weather is hot to begin with. That's why I mostly stick to cold drinks...

I have been drinking a lot of hot water recently. I decided it was the healthiest option.

Yes, Teavana is a tea store.

You can order just as in Starbucks (or any other coffee shop)

Here's the link to the online store:

I have good news regarding the defunct Francis-Francis X1..

looks like it can be shipped to a specialist to be diagnozed ans fixed.. whohoo!

 

[Car Diva]

I sigh as I post the last photo of our 3 coffeemakers together... The X1 will be back soon ( we hope)

It hurts as much as when you have to leave your car


Best to all and stay caffeineted if you can

The Starbucks Bimmer

The entire concept of brand extension may seem to have gotten out of hand, but the folks at BMW can’t be blamed. They’re just trying to make more money. First, it was the interiors on private jets. Now it’s coffee makers.

So what is it about these German car companies? First is was “Porsche Design.” Now it’s BMW. What will be next? Volkswagen toilet accessories?

The Starbucks Sirena Espresso machine was, in fact, styled by BMW Design Works, and its pitched as reminiscent of “BMW fine cars.” Presumably, by this analogy they do not wish to suggest that it’s ugly, though that would be a term applicable to many of the “BMW fine cars” recently produced by the man from Milwaukee, Mr. Bangle. No, what they mean is that it produces the “perfect shot of espresso” every time.

Of course, BMW and Starbucks are bringing up the rear on this one. Both tha Lamborghini coffee maker and the Bugatti espresso machine beat them to this burgeoning market.

How much?

$600.
