That's how I finished those 4 books during my skiing trip Not having an e-ink device made it a bit harder, as my reader won't stand for 6-8 hours of continuing reading...

ha ! maybe my sony is bad for me, the battery lasts too long. then again, even my eb1150 gets about 20 hours per charge cycle (and i can read while it's charging) so that's not much of a limitation either... and if worst comes to worst, i still have a ridiculous quantity of paper books lying around this house... there's just no escape.

I drink lots of erel gray mostly becuse all the stuff I need is at work. and the soda macine is over priced. I have been drinking stash tea good stuff . been thinking about change over to the non bag tea hear it a bit better.

anyway saw this on lifehacker the other day this post boght it to mind.

http://lifehacker.com/5266609/herbal...to-your-coffee

Quote:
Most coffee flavorings are a mishmash of fake flavoring, preservatives, and sugar. Adding a little herbal tea to your French press coffee is cheap way to add natural flavoring.

We're big fans of the French presscoffee-making method, and judging by the comments on various coffee-related posts, many of you are too. It was the comments of several readers over the last few months, in fact, that inspired us to try using a French press to brew loose leaf tea. It turned out to be an excellent tea brewing tool, which in turn led to the next discovery. While boiling water for the press, I couldn't decide if I wanted tea or coffee.

On an impulse, I decided to combine peppermint loose leaf tea with fresh ground coffee in the French press. The result was absolutely delicious. Experiments ensued, and peppermint, mint, cinnamon, and vanilla flavored herbal tea all blended well with coffee. The brew time for loose herbal tea is the same as French press coffee, so both get optimum steeping time. A few tips learned by trial and error: Peppermint coffee is delicious iced, cinnamon coffee is best served hot, and, so far, the best ratio seems to be 1 teaspoon of herbal tea to 4 teaspoons of ground coffee. If you try that ratio or one of your own devising, share the results in the comments to help refine it.

Coffee, coffee and more coffee. But if none is available tea will do, preferably black.

YES!! Coffee doesn't keep me awake. Tea does so, I use to drink it to stay awake during university.

Now, I drink herbal tea when I don't feel well.

Coffee, blacker than the depths of darkest night, hotter and more bitter than hell itself... in the morning. Straight Earl Grey in the evening.

Earl Grey is, for me, like drinking hot perfume. Disgusting stuff .

I don't like the Twinings' Earl Grey, but some varieties have a milder flavor. The only flavored tea I drink is an occasional Prince of Wales.
