    This. If you drink the tea plain, but add stuff to the coffee, then there's your answer. Also, coffee has more caffeine than tea, and caffeine is an appetite suppressant.

    I'm the opposite: when I drink plain tea, my hunger pains are satisfied, whereas 5 minutes after a black espresso I have the most horrible chocolate/sweet food cravings :S

    I guess it also depends on the quantity: a huge mug of tea is different than a small cup of coffee..that's why I still feel hungry.
    However if you have a huge cup of coffee you may feel full after it ;)

    I dunno. I don't drink coffee and tea curbs my hunger.

    I thought coffee triggered a fast dumping of useable sugar into your bloodstream (i.e. it metabolizes fat). Tea doesn't. It's short term - coffee doesn't make you thin. But the higher sugar tells your brain you don't need to eat.

    Maybe try making the coffee sweeter with a stevia sweetener product. I have a coffee in the afternoon (instead of wine before dinner) and put 2 or 3 stevia's and half and half in it and it is very satisfying and it seems to curb my hunger.
