I had k'hoafee with McCauley... *_HALF AN HOUR AGO!!!_*
working on it,,,,luv the beans content by the way
She doesn't have a right to argue when she has ketchup on her roasts
Yes. Agree completely
100% true
Yes😂
Giggity.
A very astute observation !
"Coffee just makes you go for a dump, frankly." - James May, 2020
Truth, nonetheless
You could tell she wanted to LOL, I did. 😀
I’m an American and I approve this
Let me clarify, as italian: yes it does. Coffee in the morning MAY BE BARELY ACCEPTABLE during winter season, poured in small part into hot milk (it's called "Caffèlatte"), to consume with biscuits. Also, iced coffee isn't coffee, even worse with oatmilk.
@Jack Snow well.. Can't find the correlation there, never mentioned anything about feminism, it's just coffee or not mate.. ;)
This video made me want a cup of tea, not coffee. So that answers that.
That's because James May is delightfully eloquent in his opinions.
Can confirm
Can agree
She cant make a proper argument. They should put up a James May equivalent who drinks Coffee.
@@nyChannel09 If you drink coffee you can't argue as well.
James May is a legend for defending tea. Hats off, Captain Slow. From one tea lover to another!
I'd rather drink tea. Coffee is just not for me at all.
Tea is absolutely better, I've noticed a pattern of tea drinkers being more organized and more functional especially in the morning and the evening
agreed my fellow tea enjoyer
Only women and homosexuals prefer tea over coffee.
who cares if somebody likes tea or coffee i don't
“That wasn’t very convincing Rachael...” *puffs pipe*
James May has become a mafia boss at drivetribe
Become , James may has always been a Mafia boss , who else can look cool on a Honda 50 super cub?
@@Webcamboat thats how mafia works!
Super cubs ARE cool
Right up there with the sip of wine following an admission that he almost killed Jeremy Clarkson,Classic James May,a most pleasant fellow.
It seems like the older woman knows a lot more about tea than the woman who's wearing glasses
Lool
😂😂😂
lol
Bahahahaha
Don’t. Just, don’t.
Rachel: having a friendly debate about tea vs coffee
James: this isn’t a friendly debate I’m going to destroy you.
tell James that coffee is used a recovery drink after pedalling
I did feel quite sorry for her. She's just too nice! 😆
I love how uncompromising James is. He probably doesn't feel this strongly about hating coffee but was well up for the debate.
Probably becomes more hostile in the debate when tea is insulted lol
James May is one of the most charismatic, intelligent and captivating people I’ve ever seen.
There’s no caveat to that; he’s just an incredibly interesting dude.
Not to sure about intelligent (A rocket scientist he is not, but I am also not saying he is dumb). But I agree with the other two.
" - james
The most boring interesting person that is
He has the rare gift to be offensive without actually upsetting people. Rachael is the perfect foil for him and it makes great viewing. Yorkshire Tea is the best for me unless I am in Scotland, where the soft water favours Nambarrie.
Can't help it have to watch James 😊
"The British empire was built on cups of tea.... and if you think I'm going to war without it you're mistaken"
100% Behind you on that! Tea, the drink of champions.
best forgot about :(
Well, I prefer tea also, but basically what you're saying is, if you want peace in the world, drink coffee... If you want war, drink tea. Hmmm
Don't forget your Bren gun.
Unless there's a beer
Had my morning coffee while watching this. Went straight for a dump afterwards. True story.
I'm watching this as I take my post coffee dump. Captain slow has got it 100% right.
It's just operant self-conditioning. Once a routine forms just the smell of coffee is enough to make you go to the dumper.
Too much information!
Tea is the business. Nice cup of English Breakfast is a perfect morning ritual.
Tea tastes amazing with bacon and eggs.
I drink both tea and coffee, but I prefer to drink a beer.
Cold, I hope!
A true cultured man.
Yep.
I see, you are a man of culture as well.
You're speaking for all of us
Being Chinese, I’m proud of how James defended tea. Perfection. Proud fan of captain slow
He also said at the start that green tea isn't tea... As if it's not the same plant as black tea...
SAKE!!!!!!
As a half-Chinese, I'm half proud. The other half likes coffee
@@Aurasmae He didn't say that, he said fruit tea and peppermint tea are not tea.
@@Aurasmae all tea (green, oolong, black, matcha) come from the same plant, just different stages of oxidation
Coffee only in the early morning, tea the rest of the day ! James is right, tea gets work done ! Brew up from Canada !
I drink both. Considering quitting coffee: the big disadvantage of coffee is that if you miss your fix you will suffer for it. Which can happen if you're really busy and if you're waist deep in work the last thing you need is a debilitating headache.
If you get 'debilitating headaches' from missing a dose of coffee, your usual consumption must be off the charts.
@@AGH331 no..... two cups a day can do it.
"People who drink coffee can never make you a decent cup of tea, its selfish" - James May 2020
Yeah real complicated stuff.
I'm starting to think that Rachael, much like Richard Hammond, is American.
I thought the same thing (well, about Rachael,) started writing, and saw your post; couldn't stop saying the same thing, hope you don't mind :D
*an
I cant read "Hammond" without the voice of clarksen screaming his name in my head
Correct
A SECRET American.....
I'm surprised.I wholeheartedly agree with James.Tea is the best drink in the world. Plus ketchup on a roast is an abomination that should be punishable by death.
As a brit, Tea is overrated, Roasts are dry and bland, curry is nicer
"The middle-classes like coffee because they're trying to be sophisticated. They're trying to drag themselves out of the gutter, but it won't work."
Truer words have never been spoken. Well done, James!
@Ross Bourne It's because the upper class sophisticated twits consider everyone but themselves to be in the gutter.
Can't stand these car vloggers like Mr JWW and Seen Through Glass who go for a drive for a coffee in some pretentious up itself cafe 'bar'.
I want each of them on my shoulders whenever I go for a shop
Tea, straight forward, no nonsense Yorkshire Tea.
Of I have to drink it then that's the one.
PG tips please, there are standards people!
Come to india and you will be offered tea in every house here. Love from a tealover, love from india. ❤️
How do Indians typically drink their tea?
@@admiralkipper4540 I’m also interested in this.
I'm more interested in the Kiki's Delivery Service picture on James's wall.
James is evidently a moderate weaboo
@@lpsp442 Plus his shirt
I mean, he made a whole series about Japan, clearly he likes the culture
Tea all day, best thing about coffee is the smell
^This!^
I agree
I like coffee in chocolate, otherwise various kinds of teas. Because health.
I agree, although when i need a cold drink i would take coffee over tea
Nothing makes me more happy than knowing that James May has a Kikis Delivery Service picture on his wall
Tea to start the day. Yorkshire. Job done. Coffee to pick me up later in the day.
I learned from Tom Scott British tanks have built in tea makers and there is also an ISO standard cup of tea.
I believe the loader is usually in charge of the brews.
ISO tea is not proper tea
@@kylenetherwood8734 Haha, I know. Tom even says that in the vid. It's just so you get a standard and constant way of preparing it, you're not making the best cup.
Just watched that video prior to reading this comment lol! That’s awesome.
@@benneville4900 Haha Awesome. I'll I'll update your NSA file and your CZcams algorithm.
In the words of Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington as portrayed by Stephen Fry on BBC 2's Blackadder, "TEA!!!!!!!!!"
As a 19-year-old, tea > coffee.
As a 20 year old, I agree with your statement.
As a 21 year old, I also agree.
22 year old here, people who get things done drink tea
16 year old here
Hey don't just state your age, what about your preference?!
In Finland the average rate of coffee consumed per year is 9.3 kg. I used to drink coffee and lots of it, but my stomach finally disagreed. Three days of headache and I was done with coffee :)
Moved over to tea, coffee only occasionally - perhaps once a month or so. Preferably dark roasted coffee, in Finland people mostly drink lightly roasted, filtered coffee which to me is the closest drink to resemble battery acid. Keep on it heated on a coffee machine for more than 15 minutes and it stinks like a teachers' lounge at a school. No thank you!
James is right, tea keeps you on the job and doesn't make you think only about your next fix of caffeine.
Brewed from leaves, teabags are inferior quality tea.
The only correct way to start your day is an English fry-up washed down by a cup of PG Tips.
Tetley!
No scots in here? Scottish blend is the perfect tea, bit it need our soft scottish water
Even Tesco’s own brand Ceylon (£1.50) and even Lidl Assam (99p) wipe the floor with the popular brands.
James well and truly won this debate.
She lost right at the beginning with the ketchup
You can't win a debate with James .only Jeremy can.
Debate? With May?
No, James just droned on and on for the longest time (which is what he generally does). Droning on is not the same as winning a debate. She was too polite (probably because he's her boss).
he also shouted right through most of it too
Imagine dipping your biscuit in a cup of coffee 🤢
Dipping a piece of chocolate in coffee is absolutely sublime. And certain biscuits, too actually.
Morning Coffee, afternoon tea. The wayof life.
Irish coffee is coffee and whiskey, not Bailey's.
And cream...
Small layer of cream on top. Don't stir.
Your so right and it should be Irish whiskey. Tulleymore dew does the trick for me.
@R134eS2o then it's not Irish coffee
@@joeh8785 cream is essential. Just trying to clear up the Bailey's issue
The UK should revoke her citizenship ! Pure blasphemy.
She’s taking our jobs
What can you expect from a person pouring smoothies over her food?
@@PapaSeed xD
This may well be the greatest James Rant in history, he's also right about the army.
Love these videos
James May: “so drinking tea must be like an older person thing” Me: “well I guess I’m an old man trapped in a teenagers body”, tea is a whole lot better and more flavorful then coffee
Its just a personal preference. Its not a matter of how old you are.
You're absolutely right .
If they don’t say tea, they need to be banished from England.
D Murrman not before I pay a visit please!
D Murrman Yes... but we can’t change it back without Tea!
I don't drink either, so am I banned?
Riley Mundt just don’t tell anyone else.....
Only England? Or great Britain?
I can confirm that tea is a thing that old people like.
I'm 15 and everyone sees me as an 80 year old man
I drink tea.
I now have confidence in the future.
@@2opler ,likewise....very happy.
"Tea gets things done, coffee makes people hang around" - TRUE
👏👊
Liam Sutcliffe I think it’s possible that’s because most people who drink coffee are tired or have slept badly and believe it’ll cure their fatigue
Mac Muggo, I recently had a coffee in the morning because I hadn’t slept as well, so went for coffee instead of tea. Honestly, I felt worse. I like coffee, and drink it occasionally, but I love and prefer tea. Each to their own of course.
Liam Sutcliffe yes, that’s my understanding
Well said James May 👏
"The toffs and the plebs like tea. Middle classes like coffee because they're trying to be sophisticated. They're trying to drag themselves out of the gutter, but it won't work." -James May, 2020
This is exactly why I hate the middle-class
Rachael: Teabags ruins lives
That can be interpreted a number of different ways 🤣😂
'Tossing the salad' has also ruined a few lives
Ahhhh! Happy days (early 70's) that you took me back to, James.
My grandad always used to smoke a pipe and the penknives that you mentioned must have been a necessity of pipe smoking because my grandad always used to shave slivers of 'baccy off his block (Gold Leaf springs to mind) and then "rub" it. I used to love stripping his pipes down and cleaning all the gunk (tar) out with pipe-cleaners and, again, that penknife (the bowl). He gave it up when "the government kept taxing him more". He was a "brass tacks and braces" bloke, was my grandad.
He is right about tea being refreshing in the morning. I was on a long backpack trip with a friend and learned that coffee will dehydrate you while tea will actually help hydrated you in the morning.
Coffee isn't dehydrating, that's just a myth.
Both are diuretic.
@@TheGlassgubben drink a cup of coffee then go hiking. Next day drink a cup of tea then do the same hike.
@@jjryan1352 you're correct, perhaps I used the wrong terms. While both will dehydrate you, coffee seems to be more pronounced. Your mouth and throat seems dry up quicker making to reach for you water sooner and more often.
@@DesertFernweh and drinking more water on a hike is a bad thing how?
I find it curious that she complains that tea drinkers are fussy about how they like their tea, when there are dozens of different ways of drinking coffee and most coffee drinkers have paroxysms of anger if their coffee isn't made correctly by their hipster barista.
I love coffee...while holding absolute wretched feelings towards anyone going in or out of a Starbucks...the place reeks of coffee blasphemy.
@@DavesRabbitHole The coffee is over roasted.
James is right on everything apart from green tea not being tea, especially if he's been forced onto the black stuff right now.. it's what makes the UK and Japan civilized nations
Green tea and black tea come from the same tea leaf as well as white tea, it’s just the way it’s processed
He said green tea was tea, it was the likes of fruit tea that he said was not tea.
@@jonathanmaybury5698 No he did not. 0:52.
@@Varksterable She said "green tea" and he immediately said, "that's all tea". Maybe you don't understand the Yorkshire Dialect, or you just have cloth ears.
@@jonathanmaybury5698 No, what he said was, "that's not tea." Get your ears checked mate.
Milk in the cup first??? What an absolute mad man.
I'd like to see James May go up against James Hoffman on this subject.
The level of fanciness would break the internet.
I'd like to see him go up against Jeremy Clarkson or Richard Hammond.
"Wet leaves with cow juice" earned the like from me! LOL
I was unaware that we were only allowed one or the other. Here I was enjoying a coffee when I need a pick me up and then relaxing with tea. I'll turn myself into the police immediately.
The more you learn the less we know.🤦♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
Mr May, you’ve convinced me, I’m abandoning capsule coffee and will be drinking tea from now on, boiling water over whole leaf tea 👍
Coffee in the morning, tea in the afternoon
Rachael, In the name of her majesty the Queen, I revoke your British citizenship
Tea.
"I dont know why people are so obsessed with tea" says the girl who puts ketchup on everything.
I drink coffee 60% of the time but the best drink is a stiff Yorkshire tea
"They're trying to drag themselves out of the gutter, it won't work!" James May is the funniest of the trio.
Tea is the very best, hands down.
YES!!
Hi. I would never drink tea after I was in a place where the only drink was tea with no milk and no sugar served in a one liter plastic jug. The jug went brown from the tannins. This place was in the tropics. A very big Yuck.
@brian williams oh no! Thankfully not all tea is like that!
Depending on how it’s made
Gotta love the banter! Both are right!
I love both coffee and tea. I enjoy different varieties of both (I get into the different leaves for tea and different roasts for coffee).
10:27 - _"...I'm older than you and had longer to form an opinion..."_ well said James.
Also longer to get set in his ways and arrogant about his views.
I suspect his views on tea vs coffee have not changed since he was old enough to drink either. Most people's don't.
In some cases, being older makes you wiser. I don't think this debate is one of those cases at all.
As much as I like James, it's patronising, a bit ignorant, and misleading to even try and use this as an argument, here imo.
@@Varksterable It's not patronising. He did make other such remarks during the video. But he was joking. The girl was smart enough not to get offended. He has an amazing sense of humour.
@@roxanam.3216 I'm sure he does (have an amazing sense of humour). I really like Mr May. In fact he's one of my top all time celebrities.
But does being patronising imply intent?
I'm quite sure James didn't mean it that seriously. And it obviously wasn't how it was taken. But that's not my point.
Playing the 'I'm more [x] than you' card _is_ patronising.
Doesn't mind if it's a joke, doesn't mind if it's factual, doesn't mind if it's entirely made up.
Calling on some property you happen to have that the other doesn't, simply to make a point in an argument seems dubious to me, at best.
And of course she took it well, she's employed by James (or the team that runs the production). And she puts ketchup on roast dinners. She needs help.
I don't think that's what concerns me about James pulling out the age card in an argument.
When it happens to you, maybe you'll see what I mean.
@@Varksterable It actually matters if it's a joke or not. There is no taboo subject in comedy.. Furthermore he makes fun of himself and his old age as well... Even saying that could be a self irony cause a lot of old people say that.
@@roxanam.3216 Of course you are right, little girl.
(Is it starting to hit home yet? It was meant as a joke, Btw. That means I can say anything, right?)
James is right. Tea is the best!
I love both, as long as it’s not instant coffee, or the ‘continental’ idea of what the English drink with their breakfast. However, if I was told I could keep only one, it would have to be tea. More refreshing and welcome any time of day.
Excellent rant James. You are right. PS old fashioned tobacco shops usually sell penknives as well.
The picture on the right of James is an animation frame from the film Kiki's Delivery Service.
@Roger Dodger He has shown an interest in Japanese culture before. I would like to think that he knows his way around a anime con.
Three cheers for Builders Tea 👍💪
How did these two start arguing, this is brilliant !
In my uni house we all drank tea it was great. Never ending supply of tea, because someone would always be offering to make the tea :)
I 100% agree with James on what he's saying here. His observations are spot on!
I rarely drink coffee, my wife is a scouser that served in the army for 18 years, she does drink around 15 mugs of tea a day until 18.00 hours, then the mess bar is open. Ironically we live in France.
I absolutely love tea, but if I drank 15 mugs before 6 pm, the mess bar would be open but the dunny door would be permanently closed.
@@ConScortis Ah, but you did not get such intensive military training.
Tea is definitely more of a doing drink then coffee. You sit down with a coffee in a poncy coffee shop yet you can re-tile your roof with a tea on the go.
I love and drink coffee every morning. I do also drink tea, although not nearly as often. But I would happily take a cup of Tea from you James May.
Tea every time. My favourite is Darjeeling which has been called the champagne of teas.
Anyone who puts tomato ketchup on everything has no taste buds left to appreciate tea.
I don't disagree with the "no taste buds" but that's not really a mark against coffee, that's more of an attack on her character if anything.
Quite agree!
Is that the same Porsche smoking pipe he had in Top Gear?
James I love the Studio Ghibli framed poster behind you...Isn't that Kiki's delivery service. All things Studio Ghibli are brilliant.
I completely agree with Bim. I love tea made by boiling tea leaves, just like how James explained. It tastes far better than tea bags. And I'm in my 30s so it's not just oldies who love tea.
James may is so right on this, and the ketchup issue. Rachael, you need counselling I'm afraid 😘
I feel like we now need a video of James May making a proper brew and then it just ends with him placing the cup on the table and saying, “Tea”. A compliment to the cheese meme.
I agree must start the day with a tea
I love both!
James May: middle-aged man that is informing a misinformed youth on proper food stuffs
Rachael Hogg: seriously bad condiment usage youth in need of proper taste buds
1 minute in and James has already won the argument
I’m with James in this one. My last name is pronounced like “coffee,” but I don’t drink it. My Dad has the same kind of irony. We don’t drink coffee, period.
Now tea, I enjoy. I do like leaves more than bags. Incidentally, a couple friends of mine opened a coffee shop that makes their tea with leaves. No tea bags in sight. Best part, they have a shot glass of honey to go with the tea.
I’m in my twenties, and I’m a Tea Leaf person.
The way James perked up when she mentioned Bailey's!
I'm American, and I start the day with a large cup of Ahmad English Breakfast, then follow up with a generous cup of pour-over coffee.
Derek Trotter with fries
I start the day with a giant cup of black rifle or filthy pirate coffee
[GR]DoveEnigma13 i use blac rifle too...strong as anything but not at all bitter.
@@jonnycando and a large block of cheese on it
All the engineers that built industrial Britain drank tea
Watching this while I'm drinking tea. I also love coffee but I could never have it as my first morning drink. I start with maybe two cups of tea in the morning then onto coffee to keep me going through the day, maybe with a tea in-between to break the taste.
Yess this is what we need
You should put a poll on the video to choose between tea and coffee
CZcams no longer has that feature.
Chris Johnson I did not know that, that’s crazy
Mother and daughter arguing about tea
Coffee for doing stuff, tea for relaxing. Never fruit or mint tea though.
You should show how to make a cup of tea in the bugout bunker.
I've gone off coffee recently, I used to drink it like it was going out of fashion; I'll have a cup of builders tea though! (No sugar!)
Coffee in the morning and tea in the afternoon for me,,,but I’m an American. But iced coffee? Yuck.
I need a battle between James May and James Hoffmann. (Btw the Kiki Delivery picture behind James is so adorable)
Yes on the goat milk in the coffee. I bought it as a prank but we liked it. I gave up on tea (bag style) 16 years ago because I could never get 2 cups to taste the same. It was either too strong or too weak even though I steeped them for the same amount of time as indicated by the oven timer. Coffee is just easier, 3 scoops of ground coffee and 1 litre of organic water, turn on the cooker and viola, yummy coffee!
