I lean towards coffee, but like both, hot or cold. Have been told you should drink green tea, and I do, am now, but don't think I could not drink coffee, as has been suggested to me by more than one physician I know.

They had a washing machine and a coffee maker they chipped in to get in the space where I worked when I got to the ship. Was sort of strange, standard issue Maytag, out of the way, by the hull, chained to the deck. Drained into the bilges, engineering space, so the hull is right there if you lift up the deck plates. Only hooked up to cold water, if you wanted warm, you dump in a bucket of hot water. Very handy to wash some clothes underway. Clothes line up above the boiler. Hot AF up there, stuff dried in about 5 minutes.

Coffee maker was a stainless steel, two and half feet tall, foot and a half in diameter, sight glass in the front so you can see how full it is, attached to table with wing nuts. You used about 3/4 cup of grounds for that thing, made enough for a dozen guys to go a whole shift wthout needing to make more

What do you think, is it that big a deal, coffee or tea, given moderation of course
