Let me clarify, as italian: yes it does. Coffee in the morning MAY BE BARELY ACCEPTABLE during winter season, poured in small part into hot milk (it's called "Caffèlatte"), to consume with biscuits. Also, iced coffee isn't coffee, even worse with oatmilk.
James May is one of the most charismatic, intelligent and captivating people I’ve ever seen. There’s no caveat to that; he’s just an incredibly interesting dude.
He has the rare gift to be offensive without actually upsetting people. Rachael is the perfect foil for him and it makes great viewing. Yorkshire Tea is the best for me unless I am in Scotland, where the soft water favours Nambarrie.
I'm surprised.I wholeheartedly agree with James.Tea is the best drink in the world. Plus ketchup on a roast is an abomination that should be punishable by death.
"The middle-classes like coffee because they're trying to be sophisticated. They're trying to drag themselves out of the gutter, but it won't work." Truer words have never been spoken. Well done, James!
In Finland the average rate of coffee consumed per year is 9.3 kg. I used to drink coffee and lots of it, but my stomach finally disagreed. Three days of headache and I was done with coffee :) Moved over to tea, coffee only occasionally - perhaps once a month or so. Preferably dark roasted coffee, in Finland people mostly drink lightly roasted, filtered coffee which to me is the closest drink to resemble battery acid. Keep on it heated on a coffee machine for more than 15 minutes and it stinks like a teachers' lounge at a school. No thank you! James is right, tea keeps you on the job and doesn't make you think only about your next fix of caffeine. Brewed from leaves, teabags are inferior quality tea.
No, James just droned on and on for the longest time (which is what he generally does). Droning on is not the same as winning a debate. She was too polite (probably because he's her boss).
@@kylenetherwood8734 Haha, I know. Tom even says that in the vid. It's just so you get a standard and constant way of preparing it, you're not making the best cup.
James is right on everything apart from green tea not being tea, especially if he's been forced onto the black stuff right now.. it's what makes the UK and Japan civilized nations
@@Varksterable She said "green tea" and he immediately said, "that's all tea". Maybe you don't understand the Yorkshire Dialect, or you just have cloth ears.
I drink both. Considering quitting coffee: the big disadvantage of coffee is that if you miss your fix you will suffer for it. Which can happen if you're really busy and if you're waist deep in work the last thing you need is a debilitating headache.
I completely agree with Bim. I love tea made by boiling tea leaves, just like how James explained. It tastes far better than tea bags. And I'm in my 30s so it's not just oldies who love tea.
James May: “so drinking tea must be like an older person thing” Me: “well I guess I’m an old man trapped in a teenagers body”, tea is a whole lot better and more flavorful then coffee

I’m with James in this one. My last name is pronounced like “coffee,” but I don’t drink it. My Dad has the same kind of irony. We don’t drink coffee, period. Now tea, I enjoy. I do like leaves more than bags. Incidentally, a couple friends of mine opened a coffee shop that makes their tea with leaves. No tea bags in sight. Best part, they have a shot glass of honey to go with the tea. I’m in my twenties, and I’m a Tea Leaf person.
I love both, as long as it’s not instant coffee, or the ‘continental’ idea of what the English drink with their breakfast. However, if I was told I could keep only one, it would have to be tea. More refreshing and welcome any time of day.
Tea every time. My favourite is Darjeeling which has been called the champagne of teas. Anyone who puts tomato ketchup on everything has no taste buds left to appreciate tea.
Mac Muggo, I recently had a coffee in the morning because I hadn’t slept as well, so went for coffee instead of tea. Honestly, I felt worse. I like coffee, and drink it occasionally, but I love and prefer tea. Each to their own of course.
I was unaware that we were only allowed one or the other. Here I was enjoying a coffee when I need a pick me up and then relaxing with tea. I'll turn myself into the police immediately.
Ahhhh! Happy days (early 70's) that you took me back to, James. My grandad always used to smoke a pipe and the penknives that you mentioned must have been a necessity of pipe smoking because my grandad always used to shave slivers of 'baccy off his block (Gold Leaf springs to mind) and then "rub" it. I used to love stripping his pipes down and cleaning all the gunk (tar) out with pipe-cleaners and, again, that penknife (the bowl). He gave it up when "the government kept taxing him more". He was a "brass tacks and braces" bloke, was my grandad.
He is right about tea being refreshing in the morning. I was on a long backpack trip with a friend and learned that coffee will dehydrate you while tea will actually help hydrated you in the morning.
@@jjryan1352 you're correct, perhaps I used the wrong terms. While both will dehydrate you, coffee seems to be more pronounced. Your mouth and throat seems dry up quicker making to reach for you water sooner and more often.

I'm quite sure James didn't mean it that seriously. And it obviously wasn't how it was taken. But that's not my point. Playing the 'I'm more [x] than you' card _is_ patronising. Doesn't mind if it's a joke, doesn't mind if it's factual, doesn't mind if it's entirely made up. Calling on some property you happen to have that the other doesn't, simply to make a point in an argument seems dubious to me, at best. And of course she took it well, she's employed by James (or the team that runs the production). And she puts ketchup on roast dinners. She needs help. I don't think that's what concerns me about James pulling out the age card in an argument. When it happens to you, maybe you'll see what I mean.
@@Varksterable It actually matters if it's a joke or not. There is no taboo subject in comedy.. Furthermore he makes fun of himself and his old age as well... Even saying that could be a self irony cause a lot of old people say that.

Milk does not belong anywhere near tea or coffee. If you are going to drink ether of them than you keep that pollutant out, that goes for sugar as well.
I feel like we now need a video of James May making a proper brew and then it just ends with him placing the cup on the table and saying, “Tea”. A compliment to the cheese meme.
Okay... I'm on both sides. I drank tea AND coffee from a very young age (like I would have a cappuccino from a truck stop while I was under 4 years old). I used to spend my time writing drinking earl grey tea or green tea. My husband and I opted to have a "tea bar" at our wedding . Now as a 27 year old woman I enjoy both tea and coffee on a weekly basis. Depends on the mood I'm in and what is available. Lately it's been black tea with cream and sugar. Side note-- the bean water and cow juice had me dying. XD
Yes on the goat milk in the coffee. I bought it as a prank but we liked it. I gave up on tea (bag style) 16 years ago because I could never get 2 cups to taste the same. It was either too strong or too weak even though I steeped them for the same amount of time as indicated by the oven timer. Coffee is just easier, 3 scoops of ground coffee and 1 litre of organic water, turn on the cooker and viola, yummy coffee!
This conversation should have been 'ketchup on a roast dinner?' - 'Goodbye' I mean the girl seems nice and everything but for heaven's sake No, just no.
6:37 Rachael on a hot day it’s scientifically proven quicker to cool you down if you drink a nice cup of tea than a can of coke or soft drink because it brings the body temp up to the temps around you.
The "coffee" she's on about will be lattes and the like. They are simply warm coffee-flavoured milkshakes. Coffee is ground beans, brewed, then with added milk/cream/sugar as required. Much as with tea. "Soy mochachino with low fat milk and blah blah blah...." Not. Coffee.
@@william01234 the most crucial pointer here is the increased rate of perspiration. As you may know, sweating cools the body when the energy released as part of the perspiration reaction gets absorbed into the air. As such, sweating more means cooling more. The University of Ottawa researchers did a test on the ‘hot tea phenomenon? They conducted a series of vigorous tests on cyclists in their lab. For each test, the cyclists got equipped with a mouthpiece and skin temperature sensors to measure the amount of carbon dioxide produced as well as oxygen consumed. The researches then used this information to calculate how much heat the cyclists’ bodies’ metabolism produced. They also tracked other significant factors like humidity and air temperature. The resultant data indicated the difference in the amount of heat produced, and that which got released to the environment. Later, some of the cyclists took in hot drinks (roughly 122 degrees F). The rest? Room temperature water. And behold! Those who took in hot drinks released more heat than those who didn’t and therefor cooled quicker
Coffee led to The Age of the Enlightenment when there was a shift from alcohol to coffee. As a matter of fact, Sir Isac Newton in Oxford belonged to the precursor of The royal society where they drank coffee, not just him bu other scientists.
I prefer coffee, but I'll drink tea as well. I especially like Japanese green tea. Which *is* definitely tea, because it's made of (young, green) tea leafs.

I'm quite sure James didn't mean it that seriously. And it obviously wasn't how it was taken. But that's not my point.
Playing the 'I'm more [x] than you' card _is_ patronising.
Doesn't mind if it's a joke, doesn't mind if it's factual, doesn't mind if it's entirely made up.
Calling on some property you happen to have that the other doesn't, simply to make a point in an argument seems dubious to me, at best.
And of course she took it well, she's employed by James (or the team that runs the production). And she puts ketchup on roast dinners. She needs help.
I don't think that's what concerns me about James pulling out the age card in an argument.
When it happens to you, maybe you'll see what I mean.
@@Varksterable It actually matters if it's a joke or not. There is no taboo subject in comedy.. Furthermore he makes fun of himself and his old age as well... Even saying that could be a self irony cause a lot of old people say that.
@@roxanam.3216 Of course you are right, little girl.
(Is it starting to hit home yet? It was meant as a joke, Btw. That means I can say anything, right?)
1 minute in and James has already won the argument
Coffee flavored anything is awesome, coffee chocolate, ice cream, tiramisu and more
I can confirm that tea is a thing that old people like.
I'm 15 and everyone sees me as an 80 year old man
I drink tea.
I now have confidence in the future.
@@2opler ,likewise....very happy.
Milk does not belong anywhere near tea or coffee. If you are going to drink ether of them than you keep that pollutant out, that goes for sugar as well.
Agree with James, Tea for the win
Coffee in the morning and tea in the afternoon for me,,,but I’m an American. But iced coffee? Yuck.
I feel like we now need a video of James May making a proper brew and then it just ends with him placing the cup on the table and saying, “Tea”. A compliment to the cheese meme.
Okay... I'm on both sides. I drank tea AND coffee from a very young age (like I would have a cappuccino from a truck stop while I was under 4 years old). I used to spend my time writing drinking earl grey tea or green tea. My husband and I opted to have a "tea bar" at our wedding . Now as a 27 year old woman I enjoy both tea and coffee on a weekly basis. Depends on the mood I'm in and what is available. Lately it's been black tea with cream and sugar.
Side note-- the bean water and cow juice had me dying. XD
Yes on the goat milk in the coffee. I bought it as a prank but we liked it. I gave up on tea (bag style) 16 years ago because I could never get 2 cups to taste the same. It was either too strong or too weak even though I steeped them for the same amount of time as indicated by the oven timer. Coffee is just easier, 3 scoops of ground coffee and 1 litre of organic water, turn on the cooker and viola, yummy coffee!
Is that the same Porsche smoking pipe he had in Top Gear?
As with so much else, I totally agree with James here.
I don't drink either one but I'm strangely agreeing with James
I love and drink coffee every morning. I do also drink tea, although not nearly as often. But I would happily take a cup of Tea from you James May.
This conversation should have been 'ketchup on a roast dinner?' - 'Goodbye' I mean the girl seems nice and everything but for heaven's sake No, just no.
You should put a poll on the video to choose between tea and coffee
TH-cam no longer has that feature.
Chris Johnson I did not know that, that’s crazy
Coffee. But James is correct- leaf tea if you are going to have tea, Bags are awful.
yummy bleached paper with a slight bit of metal from the staple taste...
6:37 Rachael on a hot day it’s scientifically proven quicker to cool you down if you drink a nice cup of tea than a can of coke or soft drink because it brings the body temp up to the temps around you.
I always thought the Brits always drinking tea even when it was 40C outside, was just a sign of their fortitude.
Joe R M well your wrong as you can see above
Whenever I drink a hot drink in hot weather it makes me sweat a lot
The "coffee" she's on about will be lattes and the like. They are simply warm coffee-flavoured milkshakes. Coffee is ground beans, brewed, then with added milk/cream/sugar as required. Much as with tea. "Soy mochachino with low fat milk and blah blah blah...." Not. Coffee.
@@william01234 the most crucial pointer here is the increased rate of perspiration. As you may know, sweating cools the body when the energy released as part of the perspiration reaction gets absorbed into the air. As such, sweating more means cooling more.
The University of Ottawa researchers did a test on the ‘hot tea phenomenon? They conducted a series of vigorous tests on cyclists in their lab.
For each test, the cyclists got equipped with a mouthpiece and skin temperature sensors to measure the amount of carbon dioxide produced as well as oxygen consumed.
The researches then used this information to calculate how much heat the cyclists’ bodies’ metabolism produced. They also tracked other significant factors like humidity and air temperature.
The resultant data indicated the difference in the amount of heat produced, and that which got released to the environment.
Later, some of the cyclists took in hot drinks (roughly 122 degrees F). The rest? Room temperature water.
And behold! Those who took in hot drinks released more heat than those who didn’t and therefor cooled quicker
James I love the Studio Ghibli framed poster behind you...Isn't that Kiki's delivery service. All things Studio Ghibli are brilliant.
"I dont know why people are so obsessed with tea" says the girl who puts ketchup on everything.
i'd quite happily be James May when he grows up.
Imagine dipping your biscuit in a cup of coffee 🤢
Dipping a piece of chocolate in coffee is absolutely sublime. And certain biscuits, too actually.
Coffee led to The Age of the Enlightenment when there was a shift from alcohol to coffee. As a matter of fact, Sir Isac Newton in Oxford belonged to the precursor of The royal society where they drank coffee, not just him bu other scientists.
In my uni house we all drank tea it was great. Never ending supply of tea, because someone would always be offering to make the tea :)
I prefer coffee, but I'll drink tea as well. I especially like Japanese green tea. Which *is* definitely tea, because it's made of (young, green) tea leafs.
OH DEAR. I have a coffee and smoke my pipe in the morning lol
I'm American, and I start the day with a large cup of Ahmad English Breakfast, then follow up with a generous cup of pour-over coffee.
Derek Trotter with fries
I start the day with a giant cup of black rifle or filthy pirate coffee
[GR]DoveEnigma13 i use blac rifle too...strong as anything but not at all bitter.
@@jonnycando and a large block of cheese on it
James May and his Porsche design pipe. Very nice, sir.
What are you blends of choice?
