Coffee (pro) No need to sleep, just perk yourself up with a regular caffeine hit every couple of hours.
(con) Need a coffee. Need another coffee. Need yet another coffee. Must have more coffee.
(pro) There are so many different types of coffee these days - mocha, latté, espresso, cappucino...
(con) ... all much smaller and three times the price of what used to pass for 'ordinary' coffee.
(pro) Instant coffee really is instant - just pour on boiling water and drink...
(con) ... whereas proper filter coffee isn't instant at all - even brewing a pot of tea is faster.
(pro) The ultimate lifestyle beverage since the 17th century, and still very zeitgeist.
(con) Starbucks own half the retail space in the world, selling brown liquid to brainwashed addicts.
(pro) Freshly ground coffee smells fantastic.
Tea (pro) Nothing represents traditional Britain better than a nice cup of tea...
(con) ... empire-building, enforced slavery and subjugated foreigners working in abject poverty.
(pro) There are all sorts of posh blends of tea with exotic oriental names, lightly scented and refreshing.
(con) There are all sorts of poncy blends of tea made from smelly herbs that taste like green water.
(pro) Teabags are just so convenient - a million grandmothers can't be wrong.
(con) If you drink proper loose tea, you get countless black leaves gumming up your sink/bin/teeth.
(pro) Mid-afternoon, a pot of tea, scones and jam - you can't beat it.
(con) Cafés/restaurants seem to think tea is an overpriced bag dumped beside a tiny pot of tepid water.
(pro) Rich tea biscuits, dunked.
