I love highland grogg coffee from berres brothers. I bought some pumpkin spice and hazelnut from Aldi's that are good. When I workout I want some strong coffee so I bought medium roast from Aldi's as well.
For Tea, I love Stash peach black tea, chai teas, and wild raspberry hibiscus.
What do you all drink?

I'm a simple gal, I guess; Dunkin coffee, and lots of it with (unsweetened) almond milk, in the morning before I start my day.
I like cold green tea some afternoons, and some evenings a decaf peppermint tea from Celestial Seasonings is nice.1 -
I like Tazo chai tea, and I blend it two tablespoons of whole milk Fairlife, and 1 teaspoon of Splenda (sucralose).1

My tastes are simple, I like Cafe Bustelo coffee with SF Hazelnut Coffeemate Creamer and MCT oil. I realize SF Coffeemate creamer isn’t ideal but I really like it and I don’t use all that much and it fits in my daily carb limit. I also like Benner Iced Tea bags from Aldi that I brew in hot water and pour over ice. That’s about all I drink.3

I've found a lot of them that are 1-2g of carbs without even being sugarfree. The powdered coffeemate normal stuff is like that. I just drink my coffee with almond milk since I hate the stuff anyway, but there are some nice keto or low carb options to be found for sure.
I ordered a bag of bulk sucralose ages back and it works just fine for me without any carbs. Takes hardly anything and I have a sweet cup of disgusting bean juice with all the stims a growing adult needs.
bean juice + sucralose powder + almond milk/cream/butter = good time bean juice.
I try and stay away from tea, as I grew up on that and it's too easy to drink it all day.

Fellow Cafe Bustelo drinker. Typically I drink it black like my soul but lately I've been adding just a touch of Splenda. On occasion I blend in a bit of butter if I want something creamy.
For tea I generally go for Earl Grey or Lady Grey. But I couldn't tell you the last time I had a cuppa.

Dollar General or Kroger. It’s around $4.50 per can and the can is useful for bacon grease and such.

Thanks. I don't have those stores around here. I think I'll stick with Aldi's coffees for now. They work just fine getting all the caffeine to my bloodstream.1

Publix, Target, and pretty much any Cuban/Hispanic store will typically stock it as well.
Another good and fairly inexpensive coffee you might see in Kroger depending on where you're located is Cain's. Cain's coffee is what a lot of restaurants - especially mom & pop type places - use. But it's no Bustelo.
I use my leftover large Bustelo can to save old coffee grounds, which I disperse around the yard.

I use Dunkin in my BPC with Carrington Coconut oil/ghee. For tea I like Bigelow decaf french vanilla with half pack of Truvia and also Tazo Wild Sweet Orange tea plain.0

I drink decaf coffee every day nearly all day and am not overly picky about it. I've tried and like Bustelo. The decaf distribution is limited but regular can be found in most stores in my area. There is a store locator on their site.
During the winter I add a little tea. Decaf Earl Grey, Constant Comment and Bengal Spice. I also periodically make chai with a mix of 4-5 spices.0 -
I also drink Highlander Grogg from Berres Brothers but I also use Turtle Sundae flavored beans in the whole bean bag and grind them together. The smell alone from the brewed coffee is wonderful. With 2 tsp of powdered coffee creamer and 2 short tsps. of Splenda it makes my day!0

I love more caffeine over stronger taste, so I buy whatever blonde gourmet coffee is on sale. I really like Trader Joe's blonde roast breakfast blend (get ground in store) organic fair trade.
I sweeten with local brand half and half, Stevia, and unsweetened cocoa powder (zero net carbs).
My tea is organic Graviola tea (soursop fruit tree leaves). It is medicinal, has very strong pain relieving properties with no side effects (stronger than narcotics or marijuana, but no drugged/drowsiness feelings). Sweetened with a little stevia and just a splash of half and half.1 -
Hubby and I mix 1/2 n 1/2 Nabob organic with a private organic Mexican bean we get in different flavours like Vanilla Cinnamon Nut, Highlander Grogg, Bavarian Chocolate, Irish Cream, and Hazelnut. The flavoured beans are too strong on their own, that's why we mix. Teas I like best are David's Tea Ceremonial Matcha, Stash Licorice, and celestial Seasonings Blueberry. I drink everything w/o sweetener or cream/milks. Hubby likes his coffee double/double and his tea plain.0

As for coffee I like to get iced dark roast from Dunkin with cream. At home I like Folgers Black Silk with heavy cream. No sweetener.
My favorite tea is earl grey. Right now I'm really liking Republic of Tea's Ginger Peach Chocolate Truffle. I just drink it w/o cream or sweetener. I also have an asian pear matcha at home, unsure of the brand, that's very good.0 -

Coffee I am not too fussy on, and only have about 3 times per week. But tea, I hate to admit it but I am a bit of a snob. Drink it both hot or cold, and straight up. Rose Tea, Assam, White Tea, GingerRoot, Darjeeling, Irish Breakfast, Early Grey, Lady Grey, Oolong. Is a partial list.
And get some shipped straight from Thailand a few times a year, I am in Florida. That started after my daughter went there on a trip and sent me some. Both loose leaf, and some in teabags. I just really like the taste of tea. I have ordered loose leaf Chai mix.0 -
I make a cold brew concentrate out of San Francisco Bay French Roast from Costco and add Skinny Syrups. Tea I'm a total junkie, I love most aside of Matcha. I recently discovered fennel in Pukka blends, it's so good! My favorite is roasted fennel, cardamom, and chicory right now.0

When I want to spoil myself with my green tea, I go for Townshend's Tea Dragon Pearl Jasmine.
I also love Matcha but I just can't afford it.0 -

Try MECHA. You can find it in your Asian markets. It's mild and flavorful.
