which do you prefer? what kinds? how do you brew? 
COFFEE~~
i have an electric percolator because the drip things never make it strong or hot enough. and i have a classic camping coffee pot for stove top. also some fancy Italian expresso thingy that makes a small amount of strong coffee. when i worked in florida i lived on iced coffee, i hate to admit dunky donuts iced coffee is delicious. i used to always grind my own beans, don't bother anymore. there is such a variety you can grind in the store.

TEA~~
i drink much more tea than coffee. all day every day. i love Twinings English Breakfast and Lady Jane.
i have so many gorgeous tea pots and tea sets because i enjoy the look and the tradition of English tea service. i buy it loose very often, have lots of nice strainers too.
i love my tea and it's an excuse to buy pretty pots and cups i don't need. from Royal Doulton to antiques and holiday designs.
