Some people swear they can't wake up in the morning without a strong coffee, while others prefer to start the day with a nice pot of tea.
But with the benefits and dangers of regularly consuming these drinks hotly debated each week, which is better for us?
Now, a new graphic pitting the two against each other claims coffee and tea are good for you in different ways.
It says tea may prevent the development of type 1 diabetes, cut the risk of a heart attack and protect against obesity, heart disease and cancer.
People who drank black tea four times a day for six weeks were found to have lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol, one study found.
However, adding milk to the tea may stop the benefits it has against cancer, according to other research.
It’s also possible tea could contain pesticides - even if it is labelled organic - and contains a large amount of tannin, which reduces the absorption of iron in the blood, which can cause anaemia.
And while green tea is often hailed as the healthy option, health-conscious tea drinkers might want to opt for white tea, which is made from the buds and young leaves of the tea bush.
White tea has been found to have a higher concentration of antioxidants in it which may actually be more effective preventing some diseases than green tea.
While studies found that drinking tea when it is too hot increased the risk of oesophageal cancer, green tea reduces the risk of oesophageal cancer in women by 60 per cent.
Meanwhile, some studies did find that coffee - normally thought to be the less healthy drink of the two - does have some health benefits.
It can prevent type 2 diabetes, reduce the risk of gout in middle aged men, stave off Alzheimer’s disease and protect against liver damage (known as cirrhosis) and liver cancer in men.
It showed coffee also increases the effectiveness of painkillers and improves short term memory and reaction times, especially in the elderly.
Scientists now believe that chemicals found in coffee could be used to make new drugs to treat heart disease and insomnia.
But other research has shown coffee decreases blood flow to the heart and causes tooth discolouration.
A study in Denmark found that drinking eight or more cups of coffee a day significantly increased the risk of stillbirths.
However, most of the research was based on black coffee with a little milk or sugar, rather than the high calorie coffee drinks found in high-street coffee shops.
Dr Duane Mellor, assistant professor of dietetics at the university of Nottingham, said these were well-known studies and added that he doesn't advise his clients to give up tea or coffee.
'They are a better alternative than sugary soft drinks,' he said.
However, he warned against the high sugar drinks masquerading as 'coffee'.
He added that it is a myth that coffee and tea are dehydrating.
'If you go from drinking none to a lot, the caffeine might make a difference, but if you have a regular intake of caffeine it’s not a problem,' he said.
