Coffee!

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 have a Keurig, so I have an assortment of KCups and have a cup every morning. Some of my favorites are Chocolate Glazed Donut, Cinnamon Roll, Kahlua, Caramel Vanilla Cream, and Wild Blueberry. I used to get a coffee at Dunkin or Aroma Joes once in a while for a treat on the way to work, but I like to coffee I have at home more now.

  • 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 ;)

  • We drink so much coffee so I always just buy a big container of Maxwell House or Folgers.  When New England Coffee goes on sale at Shaw's I'll buy a few bags of those - love the Blueberry Cobbler!   I used to stop and get a coffee every Friday from the little store by my school, but now I just bring from home every day.   I'm actually not a Starbuck's fan because it's much darker than I like.

  • I have never gotten into coffee. So I actually drink Diet Pepsi first thing in the morning.

  • We all know that I am huge Starbucks fan.  We usually have Starbucks that we brew at home during the week and then get fancy drinks at the Starbucks store on weekends.  However, someone gave us four pounds of Dunkin' Donuts coffee for Xmas so we are trying to get through that at the moment.  I am not a fan but beggars can't be choosers.

  • 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!    

  • I love, love, love Green Mountain Coffee - all flavors!  I especially love Island Coconut and Pumpkin Spice.  I got four bags of PS for MH for Christmas - I randomly found it at our local Hannafords, but GMC had been sold out for months!  If we don't have that on hand, usually it's New England Coffee that we got on sale at Shaw's.

  • I don't like coffee. If I want someting hot in the AM I'll usually have some hot Ovaltine (love that stuff). On the weekends I'll usually make smoothies. Otherwise it's just water or the occassional glass of Grapefruit juice. :)
  • 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.

  • One more thing - growing up, my mom always bought Green Mountain coffee.  Every single dinner or breakfast guest we had commented on how much they liked it.
  • I effing love coffee- always have! DH and I are both HUGE coffee drinkers, although since switched to decaf since I am con los bebe, I drink a lot less of it. At work we have a K-Cup machine, so I usually have a cup of French Roast decaf in the morning. At home, I have the dark roast Hazelnut decaf from my favorite coffee shop in town, Empire. I love popping in there for a Third Degree Burn: (decaf) espresso with Mexican hot chocolate laced with cayenne pepper- so good!

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

    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 use a Keurig and DH & I drink extra bold variety packs that he orders online...yum!!  I will admit though that I add more sugar and milk than the average person.

  • 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.

  • I'm not much of a coffee drinker.  Occasionally I'll get a latte at Starbucks (like this morning), but then I just get angry at myself for spending $4 on coffee!  I'm more of a tea drinker.  I got an an electric tea kettle for Christmas that I keep in my office at work which I love :)  I usually have black tea in the morning and then some kind of herbal tea in the afternoon.

  • I'm not in the habit of drinking the same thing every morning, or even drinking caffine every day, so my breakfast drink varies.  We also have a keurig so sometimes it's coffee (butter toffee is my fav.), sometimes tea in the reusable k-cup, and sometimes chai tea.  Other days I just have a glass of water or a small glass of oj.
  • 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.
