suisse mocha in the afternoon

How many TB do you use? I kinda like it with 4TB, but that's a lot of sugar.

How many TB do you use? I kinda like it with 4TB, but that's a lot of sugar.

For the suisse mocha, I put 1 rounded tablespoon for 1 cup of water.

 

[maggiedemi]

Half Cup So Delicious Sweetened Coconut Milk, Half Cup Water, 1/4 Cup Hills Bros Classic Cappuccino, 1/2TB Pilon Espresso, microwaved for 2 minutes, powders added last 20 seconds, stirring like 3 times. It was okay, not my best concoction, kinda bitter for some reason.

My new routine is hazelnut coffee in the morning

Congratulations, you crossed over to the other side and joined all of us coffee lovers!

Two mugs of my dark roast coffee today, one with breakfast and the other with lunch.

 

[maggiedemi]

1 Cup of Water, 1/4 Cup Hills Bros Classic Cappuccino. Microwaved for 2 minutes, then added the powder. I really prefer it with half milk. But it did stay hotter longer made with just water, and I didn't have to stir. It just tasted too watered down without the milk. I like experimenting to learn the best way to do things though.

DH discovered a new independent coffee shop we haven't been to yet. It's a little further from our house but since we had no special plans today we thought we'd take a ride to check it out. It gets a 10 in my book so we'll definitely be going back. I got my usual latte with cinnamon on top and it tasted great.

1 Cup of 2% Milk microwaved for 2 minutes, added 1/4 Cup Hills Bros Classic Cappuccino the last 30 seconds. Stirred several times. Pretty good, but I think I prefer half milk, half water.

Columbian Coffee K-Cup (milk, less than tsp of maple syrup); a container of OUI coconut milk strawberry yogurt... It was good, but tiny... Good for a small breakfast or a quick snack..

The Oui is a bit pricey, comes in a glass container---it is ok for once in a while. ....

The Oui is a bit pricey, comes in a glass container-

That does sound fancy. I don't think I've ever seen yogurt in a glass container before.

Drinking-- Half Cup 2% Milk, Half Cup Water, microwaved for 2 minutes, stirring often, but it still overflowed! Added 1/4 Cup Hills Bros Classic Cappuccino last 30 seconds. It tasted burnt, so maybe I shouldn't add the powder until the end. I'll keep experimenting.

just started on my cup of kona coffee

It's quickly becoming a bit of an addiction, but I think it will just be a winter thing, as I don't care for hot drinks so much when the weather is warm.

That said, it's cold today, so currently sipping my morning hazelnut coffee.

After returning from outside, surveying the blizzard damage— and paying someone to shovel out my car———
A nice hot cup of Peppermint Mocha KCup. Just almond milk. And a protein bar.

 

[Lari]

I currently have unsweetened almondmilk for my coffee.

I'm heading out to see my SIL and niece today, and probably will go through the Dunkin drive thru for the brown sugar oat latte because I'm a it obsessed. And my weight is back down from the 5lbs I gained after J's party from salt and cake. So I'll treat myself.

Will be sure to have chocolate on hand, when I start weaning myself off the coffee.

But for now, think I'll make my afternoon mocha.

You're not kidding! I stopped drinking coffee twice, both times when I was pregnant and nursing. The headaches were horrendous. I didn't have a single cup of coffee for over two years with each child but somehow old habits die hard and once I was done nursing I went back to my beloved coffee habit. No chance of getting pregnant again so I'm safe but if I live to be 100 I'll credit it to the antioxidants in coffee.

It's basically winter here up North except for July and August! I live right by Canada, so I know. You could always drink it as Iced Coffee/Frappuccino though.

Well this is the first time I had my coffee explode AFTER I took it out of the microwave! When I put the powder in, it overflowed everywhere. What a mess. It was a cup of Pacific Sweetened Cashew Milk, microwaved for 2 minutes, then added 3TB Hills Bros Classic Cappuccino. Only ended up being about half a mug left, the rest spilled out. It tasted burnt!

The iced coffee would probably be yummy, but I really need to watch the sugar content if I start with sweet coffees. In fact, I'm planning to get back to just my one mocha a day, as even a few extra calories a day can lead to unwanted pounds, and the creamer isn't calorie free..

Well this is the first time I had my coffee explode AFTER I took it out of the microwave!

I know your "explosion" was coffee, and not just water, but after a bit of Googling, I think I need to rethink my boiling water in the microwave. Check out this video:

Half Cup Water, Half Cup Pacific Sweetened Cashew Milk, 3TB Hills Bros Classic Cappuccino. I can't wait until this is gone so I can get back to Vanilla! I've got several brands of vanilla ones. I only heated it until it bubbled, not sure if it was done, but I wasn't taking any chances after yesterday's volcano! This Cashew Milk is pretty good, very nutty, not very sweet. Probably would go better with vanilla. I'll get some more:
