We used to have a private owned coffee shop that did a hot chocolate and offered shots of syrup, the mint one was fantastic reminded me of school hot chocolate but whenever i have tried to recreate at home it has been an epic fail! ive got a dolce gusto machine and their chocochino is great but missing the kick of a mint flavour - powder hot chocolates dont come close. i am usually a tea or coffee drinker depending on mood and amount of sleep but winter is the time for overindulgence in hot chocolate

[towicymru]

More choice for non-coffee drinkers. Love the cadbury hot chocolate but would love more herbal tea (especially green tea & cranberry).

[GetKnitted]

I wanted to say hot chocolate, and then I thought ' why am I entering a competition for a coffee maker?' meh, here goes nothing :)

[DifferentNow]

I drink either hot chocolate (but only as a treat cause it has a bazillion calories) or tea. DH likes tea and nice coffee.

[EauRouge]

I do drink gallons of tea but my guilty pleasure at the end of the day is a hot chocolate with a big slug of Cointreau in it.

[CMOTDibbler]

At home, I drink gallons of tea - quite literally as I have a pint mug. Out, I normally have a skinny vanilla latte, but my treat is hot chocolate with a shot of peppermint syrup and whipped cream.

[NorbertDentressangle]

Coffee-wise, I like a skinny latte but often find that some places don't do skimmed milk, only semi-skimmed.

When it comes to tea Earl Grey is my tea of choice, ideally with a decaff option for later in the day.

[cakesonatrain]

My favourite indulgent hot drink is a kind of latte affair. (Instant) coffee + a sachet of hot chocolate and a splash of hot water, with Bailey's instead of milk.
Ok, with all the Bailey's it isn't very hot, but it is delish :)

In a coffee shop I usually go for a chai tea latte.

[babster]

I'd love to be able to make the amazing thick hot chocolate you get in Spain, that you dip churros in. Probably best I can't though, else I would look like the Human Churro Lady.

[WhyIRayLiotta]

I like hot whisky.

Whisky, hot water, cloves, lemon and a big spoon of sugar.

Perfect winter warmer for breakfast lunch or dinner

[ClaimedByMe]

I start the day with a cup of chemicals instant coffee, usually a "gold blend" type or whatever is on special offer, dp drinks filter coffee and I do enjoy a cup of it as long as its not strong coffee. I also drink lots of peppermint tea through out the day.

We don't have a tassimo as we can't afford one.

[trikken]

Love a piping hot cappuccino to start the day. Especially when dh gets it for me. I adore coffee in general and am a complete grump monster until ive had some caffeine.

[Vajazzler]

I love hot chocolate too. With lots of stuff whipped cream on top topped with mini marshmallows and grated chocolate too. Hmmmmmmmm!!!!

[Vajazzler]

STIFF lol

[ClaimedByMe]

Babster my mum got me a tin of Spanish hot chocolate from either aldi or lidl and it's just like a mug of thick melted chocolate.

[Katz]

I've just discovered chai lattes - so yummy and my new favourite drink.

[TapTapBangBang]

AMT used to do a vanilla steamer... I think just steamed milk with a shot of vanilla syrup and then topped with squirty cream. Gosh it was delicious. I'd forgotten all about it until I looked at this thread. I might have to make it myself (can't be too hard). I mainly drink coffee now. I now have the AMT palomino which is espresso with a little bit of steamed milk. Yum!

[ArtisanLentilWeaver]

Russian hot chocolate made with double cream, vanilla, unsweetened cocoa powder and loads of grated dark chocolate and cognac stirred with a cinnamon stick.

[SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius]

The best hot drink of the day for me, is that first cup of coffee. I drink strong coffee (from ground coffee, not instant), with warm milk. I have a pint mug - and that is just about enough to kick start my day!

[talkingnonsense]

I like pints of strong milky tea, and the occasional hot chocolate- am not a coffee drinker. Try to have the some peppermint/ green/ honey and lemon to mix things up a bit, and I like green tea with jasmine.

[IvanaCake]

I love a latte with an extra shot of coffee...I really need a caffeine jolt in the mornings!

I don't have a tassimo but my parents do and I think it's fab. Love being able to get coffee shop coffee without leaving the house

[parkingwoes]

I love cappuccino, a cup in the morning wakes me up!

[Ebayaholic]

We really love our Tassimo, particularly the two brands of latte you can buy, however at 50p per cup it's a treat and we don't have one every day.

You can keep your eyes open for deals however- the hotukdeals website last week reported an offer with free delivery and £10 off using a code so we ordered a load which works out at 35p per cup.

[Littlegreyauditor]

Tea. I cannot even begin to be civil until I have tea in the morning. Straightforward tea too, no faffing about, although I will occasionally drink mint tea in the summer.

In the evening I like a cappuccino or better yet, since the weather has turned nasty, a hot chocolate.

If I am in a coffee shop I generally combine the two and have a mocha.

[GinBar]

I don't function until i've had a black coffee in the morning, generally coffee will always be hot, no added milk or sugar, just as it is, perfect. Therrst of the day is spent drinking gallons of tea, decaf at the moment s i'm breastfeeding.
Would love to make at home that really thick italian hot chocolate you get in coffee shops, it's like drinking hot chocolate sauce and reminds me of snowy days and mountains, heaven
