You help yourself to tea and make nothing for me

The trouble with reality is that you have to be capable of making your first cup of tea of the morning before you've had your first cup of tea of the morning.

A colleague maintains that coffee (he's talking instant) is at least easier to make, because you don't have to worry about taking the teabag out. I reckon this is wrong: with coffee you have to measure or judge the quantity of instant granules, which is much more difficult than counting up to one (as you would with a teabag).

All this is taking place in the work environment, where one is not easily able to bother with niceties like teapots or looseleaf tea.

I make it easier with tea- don't bother taking the teabags out (I have a very large mug, so use two). The only issue it causes is if I forget to clean my mug at the end of a Friday and come back to a pair of dried teabags spot welded to the bottom of my mug.

Ah, you see the shameful secret is that actually caffeine and I don't get on so well these days. Which is why I hardly ever drink coffee any more. Even strong tea is a bit much for my feeble stomach...
