Is that a Kliban coffee mug? I have several different kinds and love them.

I was wondering what kind of coffee mug you use! What does the caption say about a cat?

Pumpkin Spice coffee

Was it just flavored coffee? A latte or cappuccino would have been sweeter.

Yes, it is.

I have a few different sized mugs. Some cat themed, others not. That's one of my smaller ones. And the caption says "Love a cat"

I'm so sick! I'm gonna go to bed and see if I can sleep this off. I don't know how I'm going to wear a mask to town tomorrow when I'm sneezing and coughing all over the place. It's gonna freak people out, they'll think I have corona. I have to go though, I have a jeans order in my name to pick up & I have to cash a check.

I don't want to freak you out but maybe you should call your doctor and ask about getting tested. Because maybe you DO have corona.

 

[maggiedemi]

No, it's not Corona. I went for a 2 hour walk in the freezing cold without a coat or socks. It was pretty dumb, but I had no idea it would make me that sick. What a terrible night, I was so cold, but then I was covered in sweat. I feel about 50% better today. Coughing stopped. Just sniffling and achy head & throat.

This morning,I tried some Vanilla Almond Milk Creamer, in my Pumpkin Spice coffee. It was very sweet.

The verdict is still out on it.. I will try it, again tomorrow in just plain tea.

I got a Pumpkin Spice Iced Coffee, with almond milk, from Dunkin today. Not happy!! I think they messed up my order!! Usually there is not enough almond milk, so I ask for light almond. I always ask for unsweetened--- no sugar.

I asked for a Pumpkin Spice Iced Coffee, light with almond milk, no sugar.. What I got looked like a milkshake, and had sugar in it!! I as already out of the drive thru, so I tried to drink it.. ugh... too sweet..

I really prefer Starbucks, Pumpkin Spice Latte with Almond milk, Unsweetened... that is the best!!

I just do not care for anything sweet... especially in coffee..

It sounds like they put the pumpkin syrup in it? That sounds good to me though. I either like my coffee super sweet or plain black dark roast. I guess I like the extremes!

Tried the Vanilla Almond Creamer, again this morning.. UGH... too too too sweet!! I cannot drink it..
I am done with it.. I do not mind a plain vanilla, but not too much of it.. This is overloaded with it..

M maggiedemi Wish you lived closer, I would give you the rest of the bottle...

Now I need a coffee to get rid of the taste!! I think I may pick one up later... Have to brush my teeth and tongue.. so sweet....uggh...

Yes, I think they added a very sweet syrup to it. Starbucks is much better, for me.. It is a syrup, but mixed with almond milk, it is just right.

Yesterday, I picked up a box of pumpkin spice tea, and a box of pumpkin spice coffee.. Not right now, but for later in the winter.. Things are kind of going overboard with Pumpkin Spice.. too much..

Dunkin will remake a drink if it isn't right. They may have accidentally handed you the wrong one.

I tried the vanilla oatmilk. Same. Way too sweet. It tasted like instant oatmeal if you made it too watery and added sugar. Gross.

Decaf pumpkin spice latte!

I'm craving either cinnamon or pumpkin spice cappuccino mix. I might order some online. I'm limiting myself to one sweet cappuccino per day, then I drink my other 2 cups of coffee black.

As chain coffee shops go I never go to Dunkin anymore, their coffee drinks are very disappointing and not made by a trained barista.
It's not that I'm in love with Starbucks but I much prefer them to Dunkin. (The best, of course, being independent privately owned coffee shops.)

Speaking of independent coffee shops, I stocked up on my favorite dark roast beans at a local roaster this afternoon. But I couldn't leave without a Cortado w/almond milk. So delicious.

This morning, opened up, to try the Green Mountain K-cup Pumpkin Spice coffee.. Yum!!! Really good. Green Mountain is a pretty good brand of coffee. Having it with almond milk.

I had to throw out the Vanilla Oat milk creamer. Way too sweet. It had oatmeal and coconut cream in addition to sugar~~ too much. I am going to try the plain oatmilk creamer, at a later time.
~~
I really prefer Starbuck over Dunkin, but Dunkin is all over the city. I have to go out of my way to get to Starbucks. There is a small branch in Target, and another real store in the city next to me.

There really are only a couple of coffee places in the city; none with a real barista. Kind of like a "Coffee Shop, wanna be"...

I do not care for Dunk coffee. I really dislike it. The only thing I get there is the Iced Cold Brew. It is stronger, smoother, less acidic than Dunkin's regular iced coffee. That may be another reason why I did not care for the messed up order from them. They use their regular coffee for the pumpkin coffee.

I got hooked on Starbucks many years ago, when I was working. There was one across the street from the hospital. It was so easy to get a coffee there.

This coffee is really good.. just enough spice for me.

 

[maggiedemi]

Sunoco has the best cappuccino, and it's really cheap, like $1 something.

Have any of you guys ever tried Coffee with Chicory in it? I'm curious about it. It says to use half the amount you would normally use, so there wouldn't be much caffeine in it.

 

[Lari]

I actually prefer the taste of Dunkin coffee to Starbucks overall, but I'm not very refined.

I always like to try a nice independent place as well. Maybe when I don't have to watch my caffeine limits again, I'll see more what's around my new place.
