Having my 2nd mocha of the day.

Had some Belgian Hot Cocoa and didn't really care for it. I think I'm going to give up on chocolate. I tried...

I find hot chocolate too sweet. But I think you're just not a fan of chocolate.

Had to get heavy wet snow off of young trees this morning, so black and hot later on

Yikes! Someone better remind Mother Nature that it's May.

If you don't like chocolate or sweets, why force yourself to eat them or even try to like them? Some people just don't like sweets and that's ok That leaves more sweets for the rest of us

Yeah, but it was fun experimenting. And I did end up liking the Hazelnut and Cookie Butter flavors. Vanilla will always be best though.

Drinking half cup water, half cup Barley Milk, 1/3 Cup Hills Bros Salted Caramel Cappuccino powder, 1/2TB Pilon Espresso. I don't think I like Caramel either, but we'll see if this grows on me...

I'm not crazy about caramel either but DH loves it. I guess the old saying is true, different strokes for different folks.

Dark roast black coffee this morning. A cool but pleasant day so I know I'll be having another hot drink later.

 

[Furballsmom]

Seems like everything and everyone needed attention of one sort or other this morning so the black didn't stay hot lol

 

[maggiedemi]

I'm not crazy about caramel either but DH loves it.

I tried 1/3 cup with & without instant espresso. Both sucked, so it's not the coffee ruining it apparently. I'll try using a little less cappuccino powder and maybe more milk.

 

[artiemom]

I do not care for caramel, also. It is too sweet for me.

Green Mountain Hazelnut this morning, with almond milk... good for a change..

 

[maggiedemi]

Half Cup Water, Half Cup Barley Milk finished it up, 1/4 Cup Hills Bros Salted Caramel Cappuccino Powder, 1/2TB Pilon Instant Espresso, Microwaved 2 minutes 20 seconds, powders added last 50 seconds. Better, but not fantastic.

plain kona coffee with a bowl of cheerios with crumbled reeses brownie brittle added to it in almond milk

 

[maggiedemi]

Tried it with 3TB cappuccino powder, but it was just too thin tasting. So I guess I'll keep it at 1/4 cup. I opened a new Oat Milk, Elmhurst Milked Oats. It's okay, but really thin/watery for how expensive it was. The cheaper ones at the grocery store are better and more creamy:

I opened a new Oat Milk, Elmhurst Milked Oats.

I remember having Elmhurst unsweetened almond milk when my daughter lived in NYC. I checked the stores here for it when I got home but you're right, it was very expensive.

Two cups of dark roast black coffee today. I enjoyed having the second cup on the patio, one of my favorite pastimes.

 

[game misconduct]

plain kona coffee

 

[maggiedemi]

Finished up the Hills Bros Caramel Cappuccino, so will try a different flavor around 3pm.

 

[Furballsmom]

Had a bazillion chores so the didn't really happen lol

 

[maggiedemi]

Cup of Elmhurst Oat Milk, 1/2TB Pilon Instant Espresso, 1/4 Cup Maxwell House Vanilla Caramel Latte. Not sure how I feel about it. It's definitely better than the plain caramel though!

 

[neely]

Dark roast coffee this morning, Iced Americano this afternoon, then unsweetened iced coffee - SB has both sweetened and unsweetened iced coffee so you have to specify which one you want to order.

 

[game misconduct]

plain kona coffee temps are cool enough to enjoy a hot cup with patio door open

 

[Furballsmom]

Ahhh, I get to sit down this morning , so black and hot

 

[neely]

Damp, rainy day here so my early morning dark roast coffee tasted perfect.

 

[maggiedemi]

It's freezing here. It says 61 degrees, but I'm cold...

Drinking-- Cup of Elmhurst Oat Milk, 1/4 Cup Maxwell House Vanilla Caramel Latte Powder. Pretty good, but not my favorite. I'll keep playing around with it...
