That sounds so good.. I may get that with my almost expired stars (from SB)... or a Mocha latte.... or what ever...Dark roast and black this morning but since I desperately need new coffee beans I'm planning to go to the roastery today and looking forward to a latte w/oat milk and cinnamon on top.
My b-day is upcoming, so will get a free drink from SB....

Dark roast black coffee this morning and since the weather was in the mid-60's I stopped for an Iced Americano while out.

Since I've been boycotting Starbucks I've been drinking more coffee at home. I go there on occasion if I'm out running errands and need my fix but otherwise I've been grinding my own coffee and getting the beans from a local roastery. Since I was getting low on my bean supply I got another package today and also a latte w/oat milk and cinnamon.

Good for you! I thought I was the only one doing this. It also probably gives you a chance to find out more about where your beans come from. Oat milk and Cinnamon? YUM. Will have to try.
…..was idly wondering as well whether there’s a “parallel universe” TCS where tea is discussed with as much enthusiasm. I wonder if they have the same sorts of cats.

HA!! Parallel Universe!! Love it... I watch too much Star Trek...Good for you! I thought I was the only one doing this. It also probably gives you a chance to find out more about where your beans come from. Oat milk and Cinnamon? YUM. Will have to try.

Yeah, I am not getting SB or Dunkin as much as I used to. I did this past week--b-day drink at SB.. which was not good. I ordered an iced, but waiting in the take out line for so long. The order directly in front of me was messed up!! UGH.. I was stuck and could not get out of line. My ice was melted--hot day.. I should have parked and returned it.
Dunkin, only because it was early and I wanted an iced cold brew. We had warm weather this past week. Now, it is back to freezing cold. So, I will probably own be ordering at either place. It is just too expensive. I need to cut costs somewhere.

I ground some of my new beans and had two cups of dark roast black coffee.
Celebrated my doctor visit completion with a stop at our local Caribou Coffee, which is a chain similar to Starbucks that is big in our area. Had my favorite, a small Caramel highrise at a staggering price of nearly SIX dollars. Don’t know how people can do this regularly. Anyway a caramel highrise is a latte with caramel syrup and a whole lot of whipped cream, topped with more caramel syrup.

Dark roast black coffee this morning and a hot Americano while out this afternoon.
I am so excited! I just got a little Keurig that will accept K-cups OR grounds. For the first time in about 15 years, I get FRESH COFFEE every morning, instead of one cup of fresh, and the next 5 days stuff that was reheated in the microwave! I only drink one cup a day, and was using a normal-size Mr. Coffee. This is luxury for me. It only takes a minute or two to brew. I may ask Santa to bring me a sampler of hot chocolate K-cups for Christmas.
We used to have Caribou here but they all closed a number of years ago. The price is the reason I very rarely go to Starbucks now. It has been months since I went. I'm not 'boycotting' them it's just their prices got too high. They have always had expensive coffee drinks but now their prices have gotten absurd.
~ I just started using a Mr. Coffee 5-cup automatic brew coffeemaker. I sometimes use whole beans in the grinder . 
I also have a vintage Pyrex Flameware Glass percolator ...

Dark roast black coffee this morning. We went into the city and tried a new independent coffee shop which was amazing. I had one of their winter specialty lattes - house made almond milk, turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, ashwagandha, wildflower honey, vanilla and espresso. 
That sounds so amazing and interesting! Would love to try one...Dark roast black coffee this morning. We went into the city and tried a new independent coffee shop which was amazing.

I am losing my points at SB because I am just not using them. It is too expensive. It is cold out. Very rarely do I go out for a hot coffee. It oddly be more of a specialty coffee, if needed. But with the prices so high, I am not buy either SB or DD.
Instead, I am buying a lot of flavored coffees for the Keurig machine. I have: Pumpkin spice, mocha mint, chocolate hazelnut, salted caramel, regular hazelnut, cinnamon dolce, and of course, regular plain coffee. Much less expensive in the long run.
And, I have just as many flavored teas; black and green teas, chai, etc.....and some herbal.

Trying valiantly not to think about the pint of KONA COFFEE ice cream I discovered w/ macadamia milk currently lurking unopened in my freezer. Have decided I only get to eat it if I share it and do lots of exercises.

Dark roast black coffee this morning and an Americano this afternoon. We found a new independent coffee shop we really like that has good desserts and sandwiches too. They're $1.00 cheaper than SB for the same size drink!!!
