Some of us are crazy for our coffee - some for our tea. When entertaining, do you serve both or do guests know you'll serve one or the other?

We serve whatever anybody wants, but after dinner with wine nobody has ever asked for tea with their brandy.
-
I don't entertain very often, but when I do, I usually only make some coffee or tea if someone requests it. Most of the time when anyone comes over, we/they drink soda, beer/wine or bottle water. I brew coffee for myself every morning during the week. I love the stuff! But I like it strong and most people don't like it as strong as I do!
-
I don't drink coffee, so I never have it in my house. If someone comes over I can only offer them tea, so they don't get much choice!
-
I cover all the bases. I have it all ready to drink.
-
I'm a big fan of tea, so that's what I always offer. They could have coffee, but would have to specifically ask.
-
I offer both.
-
Here we aren't set up to entertain, but back when we did, we always offered coffee, tea, milk or juice in the day and drinks or herbal tea in the evening.
-
gosh, at our place we are very lax with tea and coffee, probably becuase Ive never drunk either, so Im not very good at making them either.........LOL
-
My guests will know they can expect only coffee in my place. And I find them happy and uncomplaining. But they have a choice - they can have milk. That is one thing we are never short of in my farm.
-
I offer both. Plus sodas, water, beer, wine, and I have a full bar for drinks and shots.
-
My guests have their choice. Colombian coffee, city roast, is assumed after supper, but tea drinkers have the option of Black or Earl Grey. In addition, Cohibas are made available to all.
-
We generally serve coffee but always have tea on hand for those who prefer it! :)
-
I never actually serve it. But I do have both on hand if I get a request.
-
I don't serve anything until I've asked who wants what. I also keep fruit teas, herbal teas, speciality teas like Earl Grey, Lapsang Souchong and Oolong, decaffeinated tea and decaff coffee, fruit squash and hot chocolate (both dairy milk and organic dark.) So, what would you like? :-)
