“Coffee isn't my cup of tea.”

Samuel Goldwyn (1879–1974) American film producer (1879-1974).

“For a well-made cup of coffee is the proper beginning to an idle day. Its aroma is beguiling, its taste is sweet; yet it leaves behind only bitterness and regret. In that, it resembles, surely, the pleasures of love.”

“Should I kill myself, or have a cup of coffee?”

Albert Camus (1913–1960) French author and journalist

There is no documented evidence that Camus ever wrote or said this, aside from Barry Schwartz's uncited mention in The Paradox of Choice. It is likely falsely attributed.
