Tea tastes like dishwater.

I need my morning coffee.

Angelina Jolie as Julie in Original Sin: "If someone would bring me my coffee every morning before I dressed, I would be very happy. It would change the day."

And I wholeheartedly agree.

Not a match for the delightful subtle aromas of the tea leaf tip, delicately gathered amongst the hills of the Himalayas. Rolled on the thighs of virgins, before being served with piping hot water. Coffee is a sledge hammer drink of those who can't wake up. Angelina has a number of excellent qualities, but beverages aren't high on my personal assessment of them. These people I trust on beverages:
 
"Thank God for tea! What would the world do without tea! How did it exist? I am glad I was not born before tea."
    -William Gladstone, British Prime Minister.

"I don't drink coffee; I take tea, my dear."
-Sting, An Englishman in New York

"I hope next time when we meet, we won't be fighting each other. Instead we will be drinking tea together."
- Jackie Chan, Rumble in the Bronx

I liked you.

Only one thing is certian about coffee.... Wherever it is grown, sold, brewed, and consumed, there will be lively controversy, strong opinions, and good conversation.
~Mark Pendergrast

The morning cup of coffee has an exhilaration about it which the cheering influence of the afternoon or evening cup of tea cannot be expected to reproduce.
~Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., "Over the Teacups," 1891

I believe humans get a lot done, not because we're smart, but because we have thumbs so we can make coffee.
~Flash Rosenberg

Coffee, the finest organic suspension ever devised.
~Star Trek: Voyager (though it pained me to quote)

I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.
~T.S. Eliot (irrelevant, but Eliot rocks)

Actually, this seems to be the basic need of the human heart in nearly every great crisis - a good hot cup of coffee.
~Alexander King

Coffee makes us severe, and grave, and philosophical.
~Jonathan Swift

If it wasn't for coffee, I'd have no discernible personality at all.
~David Letterman

A woman is like a tea bag - you can't tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water.
~Eleanor Roosevelt

I'd tea bag you in my sleep.

Time to call the NY deli up the road and arrange to get another cup of coffee and a fantastic sandwich. Stick with your piddly tea.

I shall, and enjoy your sandwich and cor-fee

I'll stick to my tea.

When you come here you'll change.

Coffee is like mud and dog excrement filtered through coal by hot vinegar. Tea is the drink of royalty.

There's a reason we call Brits, Tea-Swilling Dandies.

Coffee lovers like myself. I recommend a Krueger and your favorite K-cups. A little costly, but I get the PERFECT cup of coffee every single morning.
mmmmm... delish!!

I prefer a French Press myself, Cinjin, but we use a regular 12 cup pot for every day.

And 5th, I doubt it. I'm a very naughty, willful, stubborn girl and I like what I like. You might make me fonder of tea, but you'll never replace coffee in my heart.
