My mom hated water. Your consumption of it roughly matches hers. But she did love her coffee! A little cream, no sugar. And she could drink tea, but didn't usually actively pursue it.I have likely consumed less than a gallon of water in the last fifty years unless it has been brewed into beer, tea, or coffee.
When I was in the hospital, I kept being asked if I wanted hot or cold water. I was so confused.My grandmother drank hot water.
Boiling water back in the day was not a bad thing. Personally, I don't consider it a waste of time now. My grandmother was a hot tea drinker. I do believe she added a touch of honey to her tea. Old school loose tea in a balm was her regiment. My parents were water drinker. My mother had her's straight but my father cut his with a great deal of Wellers. I have brewed many gallons of blended tea through the years. Lipton and Luzianne were my go to for decades. For the last decade or so I've been brewing loose leaf Darjeeling tea. A rich black tea that I love over ice. I'm not such a coffee snob. I could be but have resisted. Folgers in my cup has made me happy for sixty years. I know there is a better coffee but I've not explored it for fear I'd add another addiction to my long list. The spice house where I buy my tea is always grinding fresh coffee and the aroma is to die for. I'll succumb some day but for now i buy cheap Folgers.My grandmother drank hot water. Just water, nothing added. Boiled it, put it in the fanciest of her china coffee cups and just loved it. Never did get that but she was happy.
Folgers?????.....but for now i buy cheap Folgers.
Mixing coffee and tea in the same cup (which I have done by accident when topping up a cup at the end of a coffee break) does not work, no matter what the temperature.
For years I thought coffee was limited to Folgers, hills Bros, and Maxwell House. Then along came Keurig and I turned into a full blown coffee snob) addicted.
Each pay day I was dropping $20-$40 on kcups. I think I tried everything Keurig sold on their official website back in 2010 .
Now it's ten years later my last Keurig died years ago and now on the truck I am back to using a regular coffee maker.
My current selection is Folgers classic roast and Seattle best coffee .
As for the whole coffee vs tea debate I drink both.
There are some nights after a long day of driving I like to unwind with a nice cup of tea
So basically your dad had a bit of water in his Weller's...
I drink lots more water now than I used to; I drank a ton of soda when I was lots younger and slowly migrated from that to diet soda (traded lots of sugar for lots of chemicals...) A few years ago I mostly cut that out as well, though I will occasionally have a can of diet soda. Otherwise it's water, coffee and tea, and then alcoholic beverages, in that quantitative order.
