What ever your tipple…tea, coffee, hot chocolate or a hot-choca-mocha-latte with extra fairy dust
Do you drink it all or do you leave a little bit at the bottom of the cup? |

"Depends!
If I’m at home I can never finish a mug...
If it’s at my favourite coffee spot I drink the lot  "
I’m the same…but why is that? I always wonder why I look down at the mug and see one sip left and think “na, I’ll leave that and make another one” |

If coffee goes cold I leave it, doesn't matter how much is left in the cup. For tea I only drink red bush if that goes cold I heat it in the microwave. Drinks that are supposed to be hot taste horrible cold to me |

Oooo some varied feedback on beverage consumption…so now what would be the perfect colour for a brew?
I always think if it’s the same colour as Hemans face then it’s a good brew. |

"Sucker for a good mug of coffee, always drink it all unless I'm in a rush then it's whatever amount I can neck"
Instant or freshly made? Cream or milk? Sugar, sweetener on none at all?
So many choices! |

I always leave a little in the both of a tea cup, its probably back to the days when my mam made tea with loose tea leaves, the strainer didn't catch them all, so they settled in the bottom of the cup. Disgusting to drink the last bit  |

Double espresso, one shot per pod from the Nespresso machine (Amazon own brand Intense Ristresso)
Don't leave a drop.
Costa - medium Cappuccino, extra shot, semi-skimmed milk, no chocolate sprinkles, always in a takeaway cup as it tastes better

Coffee I tend to drink the lot, I'll even nurse it if it goes cold.
Tea on the other hand, needs to be piping hot and I'll always leave dregs of tea at the bottom of the cup. |

"What ever your tipple…

Drink every last drop... hate wasting anything   "
Even if it’s cold? I think that’s why I end up making another one. I leave that little bit for 1 minute and when I come back and it’s cold, can’t have a brew end on that. |

I’m a half a cup kinda girl. Always forget about it and then end up leaving it. My ex used to just make me half a cup in the end so I wasn’t throwing it down the sink. Though cold coffee is actually ok can’t say the same for tea. X |

Compromise…make it a pint and then your half cup would end up be a normally “whole” cup? |

Definitely own it! I’m supporting you all the way with that! Even if I can’t bring myself to do it…but then thinking about it, they do sell cold coffee and iced coffees so maybe I should embrace it? |

"Tea - milk or water first?
Hot water first. Milk slows the tea leaves from infusing
How long do you leave the tea bag in for? "
5 minutes and 27.3 seconds |

Tend to leave a bit just in case it hasn't stirred in properly. Hate that rough taste of coffee granules, tea leaves.....or worst still, limescale once you've enjoyed 99% of the brew beforehand. |

"I always, always leave a bit in the bottom. I have no idea why, it isn't something I even think about, it just always happens. "
Sameeee! Not sure why, but I do it.
Also I hate when people do me a drink and fill it to the brim!!! I want about two fingers from top of the liquid and edge of the glass  |

Tea, always empty the mug. Coffee, generally always empty it unless there are some fines at the bottom. Neither get a chance to go cold 
Was the standing joke in the office that the kettle was never cold if I was in, and my mug was never empty |
