No, of course we don't microwave the mug WITH the teabag in it. We microwave the teabag separately.

Not British, but in my experience... accurate.

I mean, I'm also not British and am roughly aligned with this spectrum myself.

Look, if you can tolerate the absolute nonsense you hear from Americans about how to make coffee you can deal with me having a spice rack specifically to make tea.

What nonsense do you hear about making coffee?

I make coffee by drinking hot water, then chewing whole coffee beans and swallowing them. I then wash it down with milk.

Really the only way you can do coffee wrong is if you boil it.
