Making mine this morning it seems I've given up on using teaspoons. I just dump a load in like a JCB these days. Even espressos can seem a bit light on occassion.

So how strong or weak do you have your beverages?
 
Very strong. One sugar.

Just leave the milk next to the cup for a minute and whatever gets there via osmosis is enough.
 
I'm a firm believer that there is so such thing as tea that is too strong. Not too much milk & no sugar.

I used to have 1 sugar in my tea but decided a couple of years ago that, as I wouldn't eat 6-8 spoonfulls of sugar in a day it was daft putting it in my tea, so I stopped. Can't drink it with sugar now.
 
Years ago, in the pub trade, my wake-up juice involved a dessertspoon of nescafe, in a pint tankard, topped up with filter coffee, and about five sugars. It'd take two of those before I could face the kitchen...
Thankfully, my caffeine dependence has very much decreased these days- I still like it fairly strong but only 1-2 normal sized mugs a day now!
Tea? Strong, milk and two...
 
Tea: strong yorkshire tea with a dash of milk and no blooming sugar.

Coffee: Instant coffee, strong with a bit more milk than my tea, no sugar. I don't like that puffy filter crap
 
I find a Starbucks grande mug with either 2 teabags and a good splash of milk (resulting in strong tea that is orangey in color) or a heaped teaspoon + a bit of Nescafe Azera and a level spoon of sugar and a good splash of the white stuff ideal.
 
Tea, has to be PG Tips, a strong builders brown or a shade darker, 3 sugars and very very HOT!!
 
Yorkshire/Whittard/Williamson tea I find strongest and tastiest (PG for 20+ years I used to think it was the best... how wrong I was :o). Leave the bag in for 2 minutes before stirring and adding some milk (not with the teabag in of course).

Half a spoon of sugar.
