I highly recommend the tea, honestly. I switched from coffee to tea for years. The caffeine buzz was smoother and lighter, but still satisfying. Issues with dairy are the only reason I switched back to coffee. Oatmilk works a lot better in coffee than tea.
i’d recommed Sansbury red if you’re making the switch. Its a strong, very flavorful english breakfast. Tetleys or PG tips is also solid, and a bit easier to get in the states. Not as good, but still pretty good.
A good “always on” boiler is also a great tea investment. The insulated ones use very little power and keep water at boiling all day so you can make an instant cup.

I was considering making a pot of hot water in the coffee maker and brewing in there. Does it keep well in a thermos?
A coffee pot doesnt get quite hot enough for black tea, but its pretty close. 195 instead of the 208 range. Likely work well enough.
Tea keeps great in a thermos. I used a zojirushi for years and it often would still be piping hot after hours. Ive had good luck with yetis as well.
I have a pot with a lid and a candy thermometer. I much use that for a bit while I decide if I am enjoying it.
