For urgent jobs and night shifts - coffee, for quiet lazy long-term projects with generous deadlines - tea. Black tea with lemon in the morning, earl grey in the afternoon and herbal tea in the evening.

I'm afraid of spilling things on my desk, so if I'm thirsty/need a break I'll go to the kitchen and sit down for a cup of tea. | | | Black, no sugar | Jul 20, 2017 |
That way, when you spill it all over your keyboard, there's a reasonable chance that the computer will recover. (It's nice to see people drinking instant. I'm a Brit living in the States, and no one drinks it here except, apparently, Hispanic people. The label on the Nescafé jar is in Spanish.) | | | Kay Denney 法国 Local time: 14:28 French法语译成English英语

Black tea with lemon in the morning, earl grey in the afternoon and herbal tea in the evening. Water all time in between and when it is more than +27 outside. I've tasted almost every kind of tea out there. My stomach can't handle black tea for some reason, and earl grey is too bitter for me. If I followed your example, I'd be drinking tea since I'm on a long-term project with a generous deadline. | | | Mario Chavez (X) Local time: 08:28 English英语译成Spanish西班牙语 + ... 主题发起人 What is a “macchinetta del caffè”? | Jul 20, 2017 |

No idea if it's used more or less in particular parts of the UK, but here in Sussex people often call it that. Or cuppa, or brew. And probably a few others I've never heard of. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Builder's_tea My family (who are Dutch Americans, living in Barcelona), and many of my foreign friends, often laugh when they see me putting milk and sugar in my oversized mug of tea, but I now prefer it that way! | | |
Earl Grey, to be exactly. Always got a mug next to me while working.

... in a big bottle (1.5 litres) whose lid I replace religiously after every sip. No swimming pool in my workspace! Surprisingly, while 99% of Germans feel that grapefruit juice is a sign of perversion if not of certain doom, the local inner-city village supermarket always has it in stock.

If you keep them far from the dishwasher, they are eternal. I think I have only owned two of them in my life. I am now approaching a critical crossroads in my life, as we are changing to an induction cooktop which won't work with my ages-old macchinetta made of aluminium. Sigh! A whole new realm of uncertainty opens up!

Wizardry? They probably stock it for you only! There is nothing a supermarket values more than a regular customer. | |

mixed with 30 ml of dandelion and artichoke syrup. It's called a 'drenante' in Spanish and it prevents water retention and cleanses the system. It tastes nice, it's healthy and is neither addictive nor fattening (it contains fructose instead of normal sugar). Apart from that, a mug of coffee (Nespresso) in the morning, a small beer before lunch, a small coffee after lunch and a cup of red tea in the middle of the afternoon. | | | Ricki Farn 德国 Local time: 14:28 English英语译成German德语 @philgoddard | Jul 20, 2017 |
I guess people hate grapefruit because it's bitter and sour at the same time. I can drink water with some juice in it, but watching my resident Brit have an actual grapefruit for breakfast makes me run for the hills. Don't google "why do people hate grapefruit?", it's a total rabbit hole. | | | 话题中的页数: < [1 2 3 4] > | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » What's your beverage of choice while translating?
