Me? I've got a big tumbler of water and this morning's French pressed coffee still on my desk. A little boring, I know. If it's not coffee, it's authentic chai tea. The real stuff, not the syruppy junk you get at the shops of large coffee purveyors that shall remain nameless.
When it warms up a bit I'll be back to cold-pressed iced coffee and iced tea.
What's in your cup today?

Right now a cup of Lord Buckly's English Breakfast Tea. A little late for breakfast on the east cost. But it suits me.

Normally I make coffee at home and bring a travel mug & a flask of it, so I can have one in the morning and one in the afternoon. But a certain international fast-food restaurant is doing it's annual free coffee promotion this week. It's free for a small, pay to upgrade. I bought a large this morning; quoted as 27 cents. But I only paid 25 c, since pennies are now obsolete.

Just finished my second round of berry/electrolyte flavored water (goes with spending an hour on the bike in my living room tonight).
But I'm amused to find I'm not the only chai snob. Besides being hopped up on sugar, that other "chai" just isn't the same as the real thing.
Rutherford cabernet.
Don't worry - I'm not at work now lol!!
(It'll be triple venti soy cappuccino after lunch there.)
This morning its Maxwell House, black. In the afternoon and evenings it's ice water.

Coffee. We're a coffee place here... folgers... medium dark. It's what the guys drank when I started working here, so I've been programmed since my youth. 😉
I've wanted to get a French press... you can use that for cold coffee, too? I'd be down with that.
I do keep a few bags of green tea in my desk. We've got a hot-water tap in our kitchen, so, tea and cup o noodles are a piece of cake. I usually prefer the green tea with fruit added, orange or acai or something, just for the extra fragrance.
My husband only drinks imported black tea, but, I don't indulge in that often.
Drinking my tea again. I make a travel mug of coffee for the drive in. Then I may have one more at work, then switch to tea. We have a coffee service here. But a lot of people want to switch to a Keurig and bring you own. I have a small Keurig at home for the weekends. So I'd go for that. Then I could drink my Green Mountain - Dark Magic all the time.

Just finished my usual morning 2 cups of Maxwell house french roast - black. I keep a jug of Tradewinds iced tea in the fridge here in case I feel the need later in the day. Haven't had a pop in months.

No, no, no, no, NO! You cannot make tea with water just from the hot tap!
You can make some sort of dubious beverage, but do not call it tea. If it doesn't boil, it's not tea.

Root Beer. It's my caffeine of choice. Once I'm done this can I'm swapping over to lemonade though.
And an odd fact: I have never ever not even once had coffee.

Dood... seriously, you have not seen this tap. It is steamy-hot coming out of the tap, it would cause serious burns if it touched your skin, so, that sounds like tea-making water to me. 😉

What brand do you drink. A few do have caffeine but most don't.
I know a few people who do not drink coffee. My wife included. I can't say she never drank any because on day we were hiking and got caught by a change in the weather. By the time we got out we were freezing. Coffee was the only hot beverage at the nearest gas station. I got her a cup. She not only drank it but enjoyed it. She's never accepted another one though

Nope. That's still just hot water. Very hot, I grant you, but still just hot water. For tea it must boil, and no letting it sit post-boil before pouring.
Huh... dunno what happened to my post. ~shrugs~
As I was saying... my DH tends to get mixed up on that. He keeps the fridge stocked with 50% caffeinated sodas and 50% decaf. Whenever root beer or orange soda are involved, he tends to guess wrong. I told him he's just got to remember to read the labels on them (we don't stick to a particular brand, just get whatever is on sale).
Okay, you sounds like my British husband. 😉
Sssssssh, don't tell him that I sometimes let it sit after a boil. He can't tell the difference anyway.
OK. I'll horrify some people and say that my favorite way to make tea is in the Microwave! I put the tea bag in the cup and cover it in cold water. Nuke it for 3 minutes and leave the tea bag in.

Yep, none of that scary pretend chai for me. I love Teavana's Maharaja chai Oolong tea mixed with a bit of their Samurai Chai mate. Just enough spicy and sweet, and really no need for sugar.
Rootbeer is the only soda I'll let myself drink. As a treat. Love the stuff.
