There’s no one there who could drink both?
I've been known to have Lyons in emergency situations when nothing else was available, but generally it's almost like "which political party do you support?"

Errgh, I was never a fan of politics. I'd drink both and screw everybody else who says I'm indecisive.

I have never been into politics either because a lot of it is all about lying to peoples faces anyway. Also, I like the coffee they have in Sweden, and for some reason when I brought some back to Ireland, it tasted different. It's probably a difference in our water. It's like the whole "Guinness doesn't travel well" scenario all over again.

Wait you tried bringing Guinness to Sweden?
On the subject of Guinness I must say that Guinness ice cream tastes lovely. Best part was I wasn't drunk after one scoop!

It looks like something I'd try, Irish coffee is a thing afterall.

You better give it a try next time you're there. Or maybe you are right now, in which case I want to hear about it by tomorrow.

I used to be team tea, because I used to think coffee tasted like soil water. Now I'm team coffee because I now think tea tastes like soil water. But I only use coffee as a vehicle for drinking cream, coffee without cream is pointless

In essence, we could say both are technically soil waters since they both thrive in water.

Ditto to what he said? What on earth even is meringue milk! Is it just milk steamed with egg whites or something?

Doesn't tea require hot watter so you'd need a kettle?

You can also put the water in the microwave to be faster

Yeah I have one (electric kettle), but I actually never knew that most American's don't have kettles due to their power output being too low (110-120v vs 220-240v that Europe has). That was interesting to hear.

I have to use a Keurig K-Mini for my tea, the tea pods work just fine though it's probably meant for coffee and tea.

I actually had a manual one, but then we switched to electric a few years back. I actually remember boiling instant ramen in the kettle once.
