Short black is an acquired taste, i hated it aswell to start off with, My Nonno drinks them a fair bit, and i have developed the taste for them...
But i chose Cafe latte, thats what i have at hudsons etc...

A nice strong coffee with 2 sugars and milk does me.
I don't mind Tea, but can't cop tea bags. Out of the pot or billy is the only way for me.

Cheers

If I didn't have Nescafe Blend 43 here, I'd have a mass walkout on my hands! They do love their Nescafe, as do I.
Also got a tin of Moccona here, man I can't drink that stuff. Shocking!

Tea for the win.

Not a fan of coffee, its bitterness is telling me something and IMO if something needs sugar with it there is something wrong with it.

The option of Strong Coffee is missing,
I have a Strong flat white, With 6 shots of coffee,
I have to agree with BAX, with getting you moneys worth, With a cap you paying for froth, at least i get my full cup with the flat white,

It is certainly that time of the day now, Where i need my next hit of coffee

Black tea's flavour is terrible IMO. It sounds really sad and pathetic, but I prefer herbal teas...namely licorice (Black Adder) or peppermint tea.
The brand is all important. Any cafe that uses "Tasty" brand, you walk away. Cheap tea. Twinings and Lipton are good enough for me. Some places use T2 tea which is also good.

But like everything, each to their own.
