No, of course we don't microwave the mug WITH the teabag in it. We microwave the teabag separately.

Not British, but in my experience... accurate.

I mean, I'm also not British and am roughly aligned with this spectrum myself.

Look, if you can tolerate the absolute nonsense you hear from Americans about how to make coffee you can deal with me having a spice rack specifically to make tea.

What nonsense do you hear about making coffee?

Everyone has their own way, but there's no wrong way.

I make coffee by drinking hot water, then chewing whole coffee beans and swallowing them. I then wash it down with milk.

Eh, chocolate-covered coffee beans aren't bad, if they're reasonably fresh. That's not too different.

Really the only way you can do coffee wrong is if you boil it.

I got a free bag of those from the shop where I buy my coffee once. They're really nice. I absentmindedly worked my way through the bag that afternoon, wondered why I was feeling so ill, and then realised I had consumed about two pots of coffee in pure bean form
