Prior to being a mother I would get a fancy coffee drink at Starbucks once in a while. Now I drink black coffee most mornings. And doesn't it figure that I'm a coffee snob. I bought Seth some organic Coffee by Design for Christmas. Love it. After it was gone I went back to buying the cheap stuff that he always drank...I can't stand it.
What do you drink in the morning?
Re: Coffee!
We've kind of become coffee snobs too. We drink Starbuck's French Roast, we buy it in bulk at BJ's.
DH used to drink coffee with a couple creams and tons of sugar, he's now just with one cream. Our tastes have refined
This!
Right now I'm still working through the samples that came with my Keurig - I'm almost done with a box of Kona blend and it's really good, very strong! I don't know what I'll get after that, though.
I can't remember the last time I had a Starbucks ... probably in December, while Christmas shopping ... mmmm Peppermint Mocha!
MH is a huge coffee snob (I'm only somewhat snobby). Before he was back in school, we mostly got coffee from two local coffeehouses that do their own roasting. Occasionally, MH would deign to drink Starbucks' South American blends. I'm a huge fan of any Costa Rican coffee and have found that most blends are pretty good. Trader Joe's has a decent one but I can't remember the name.
Now we usually get Peet's Major Dickason's blend on sale at the grocery store (MH really likes this) or Seattle Mountain or Starbucks from Costco.

Ooh boy- I can only imagine what his reaction was to the low brow stuff @ Ebb Tide over the holidays, whoops!

Mix it with Starbucks... my parents do that (or used to) and everyone raved about it. I don't drink coffee. I sometimes have a tea in the AM but not all the time.
We drink Green Mountain coffee, but no flavors. I love flavors but my husband doesn't. After all those pregnancy months not drinking coffee I love having a cup or two in the mornings...and goodness knows I need it!
PSA: Green Mountain is cheaper at Target than at Hannafords by about $1.50/bag.

We have Keurig at home and finally settled on three types of K-cups we always buy - Green Mountain Nantucket Blend, GM Coffee House and Newman's Own Organic Extra Bold. A little bit of half n half and I'm good.
I often drink my coffee at work, though and we have Carrabasset house blend for our inn that I love and gets rave reviews from guests.
When I'm out and about, I love Coffee By Design.
I typically do not drink caffeine. In the morning I drink lemonade or cranberry juice. If I want something hot I drink tea.
DH is a coffee drinker, we have the reusable Kcup and he buys starbucks vanilla coffee or other flavors that he wants to enjoy.
MH doesn't drink coffee (or any hot beverage! WTF!), so I rarely have coffee in the house. If I drink anything hot at home in the morning, it's tea or hot chocolate. I usually have tea at night, always decaf.
At work, there is free coffee/tea service set up for students/faculty/staff, so I drink the free coffee. It's not good, but I like the price. (The tea is downright terrible, not even worth it for free.)
If I'm out and about and happen to be near a Starbucks, I'm ALL ABOUT a peppermint mocha. I probably get at least one a week.
