Whaaaah...splutter. No. For *me* to get through the day requires at
least three large espressos, made from fresh ground beans (ok, so
that bit is just a bit wanky) and produced in my beloved Gaggia. No
milk, no sugar, and as for standing a spoon up in it, the steel corrodes
on the way in, so that's academic.

It means enough that I passed on a major CPU upgrade to buy
a better coffee machine.

Segafredo, every time. Waaaay too expensive though.

Too true. Personally, I don't do tea. There's no HOWTO for a start,
so I don't know how to make it.
