The bucket woman serves coffee because it has been the trend now for many a year. When I was up at Durham it was always coffee after meals- generally it was instant as students did not have coffee makers. One friend made coffee as if it were tea. Quite amusing.

Nothing like a good pot of well made tea. Be sure to let it steep properly. None of this american weak stuff. Irish tea requires a full 5 minutes with water kept from getting cold to bring the flavors out. It is a hot water and oils thing.
