I drink coffee. :D

I still hope the pot is functional to brew not just tea, but coffee also. :smile:

Brewing tea in a pot that has been even close to coffee?!!! No, just no!

You can end up with a teafee - just yech

:D

My sims wash their pots between uses. :lol:

We need more playable tea makers & for the existing tea sets to be playable. PLEASE! <3

You should have a proper teapot for tea and it doesn't need to be washed out, just rinsed out with water. It adds to the taste of the tea! Using a teapot though and pouring it into a mug or cup means less staining of them afterwards and you can usually get an extra cup out of it. I've had tea in cafés that tastes as if the teapots used have just come out of the dishwasher and the tea tastes horrible.

I never use the coffee maker anyway as it is a pest in the game when the Sims keep going to it and will not go to bed to sleep properly.

Indeed, I drink tea from a mug most of the time, but occasionally I'll brew a big pot, especially in the good old days when you could have friends round. The game does well here as the sims get a mug of tea with the existing teamaker rather than the fuss of a cup and saucer and all that.

One pot for tea, which will heavily stain over time and will therefore leech tea flavour into coffee.

As for coffee - best stored in a temperature controlled bunker with strict handling procedures in case of possible contamination of anything tea related.

Sorry, can't resist it - Top tip - to clean your mugs of tea stains - wash as normal, fill with water and drop in a denture tablet. Leave for a bit and then rinse well - pristine mug.

I usually infuse both tea and coffee directly in a mug, and it hasn't stained yet. The pot is strictly for boiling water. :)

would also be nice in the game to be able to drink a nice cup of tea with sims boiling some water on the stove and then making himself a cup of tea black or with a bit of milk even herbal teas depending on what your sims wents to drink

Yes please. We can't make any tea (or coffee) off the grid, and that's stupid. I hate how everything in the Sims requires technology, you can easily make tea/coffee using only a stove irl.
I'm glad we won't need a separate object for canning and I wish it was the case with tea too. Also teamaker is quite ugly and weird, why can't we have a simple electric kettle at least...

What does coffee give you? Well there is energised I guess, so your sims can never sit still without running out of the door, lying on the floor and doing some other generally antisocial stuff.

Now tea. Tea can make you focused, happy, relaxed and more! Much, much superior to coffee. Do you all drink coffee there at EA. No tea drinkers at all?

More tea makers please :)

Okay, but those emotions don't do anything particularly worthwhile, beyond minor skill boosts and reskinned interaction names.

If they're gonna add new moodlets, they really need to make the emotions more useful, first, IMO.

Whoosh?

Coffee provides one moodlet

Tea can provide six moodlets

Therefore tea is more powerful in game in terms of choice of buffs.

Whether moodlets are adding worthwhile gameplay is a matter of opinion and not relevant to the topic.
