Just for the heck of it I decided to calculate what I spend per pound on my Keurig coffee. A box of Keurig coffee, purchased at Sam’s, 100 pods for $45. Each pod contains .31 ounces of coffee, or 31 ounces total for the box, a hair less than 2 pounds. So I am paying roughly $23 a pound for Keurig coffee. Of course some of that is the convenience of the pod but still outrageously expensive. Plus you need to use bottled water in them.

I will be ordering an inexpensive coffee maker this week.

Thankfully, Spawn 1 sent me a machine that takes both the K-cup holder AND a single-cup basket. I am planning to order one more basket for it so that I can be making a second cup while I clean the basket from the first cup. Nice if I have company. I only use the K-cups for hot chocolate and specialty teas.

I got the brownie batter latte at Dunkin on Valentines Day when I took J for a doughnut date.

That sounds exciting! I'm going to Dunkin with my cousin next Thursday after we go out to lunch. I'll probably get a latte, not sure what flavors they have. Did J like her donut?


Sunoco was out of Cappuccino last night. I couldn't believe it! So we went to Tim Horton's. I got a Caramel Macchiato. I didn't like it, it wasn't sweet enough! I should have gotten a Caramel Latte. What is the difference?

I asked them for a 12oz, but they didn't even know the ounces of their cups!!! So they showed me the cups and the Medium looked like 12oz, so I got that. Is their medium 12oz? Does anybody here go to Tim Horton's?

The price was a lot cheaper than the board said. The board said $3.78 for a Medium Caramel Macchiato, but they only charged me $2.16!

I will get a Caramel Latte or a Vanilla Latte next time. They don't have many flavors! They also had a Vanilla Cafe. What is that?
Hopefully somebody here goes to Tim Hortons and can answer all these questions. :lol:

She did, but the church we've been going to gives out coffee and doughnuts after Mass every week, so she's already familiar with them.

Dunkin has a ton of flavor options. I'd suggest going on their website and looking them over ahead of time. I'd link you, but since I'm on my phone and have the app, google immediately opens the app for me instead of the website.

My friend got an iced cappuccino at Tim Hortons yesterday. I wonder if they have hot vanilla cappuccino? They didn't have it on the menu board on the wall. They only had vanilla latte, caramel latte, mocha latte, caramel macchiato, and vanilla cafe listed.


2TB Dollar General Caramel Cappuccino Powder, 1Tsp Maxwell House Decaf Instant Coffee, 1Tsp Pumpkin Powder in a Cup of Great Value Sweetened Vanilla Almondmilk.

The pumpkin powder is fun! I found it when my brother was throwing out mom's hoarding clutter.

Monday:

1st cup of coffee was at Tim Horton's-- Medium Caramel Latte

2nd cup of coffee was at Dunkin- Medium Toffee Latte (I think. I forgot the exact name, but it sounded really fancy!)

Today:

1st cup-- my brother gave me a flavored coffee packet from Trader Joe's. It didn't have any ingredients listed on it, but it was really sweet and smelled so good.I had that in a cup of milk.

2nd Cup- 1/4 Cup Caramel Macchiato Liquid Creamer, 3TB Dollar General caramel cappuccino powder, 1/2TB Maxwell House Decaf Instant Coffee, 1/2TB Pumpkin Powder, in a cup of Great Value Vanilla Almondmilk.

1st Cup-- McDonalds Medium Vanilla Cappuccino in town 30 minutes from here.

2nd Cup-- McDonalds Small Vanilla Latte in town 40 minutes from here.

Neither were very hot! Is it because that lady sued when she burnt herself on their coffee?
Disappointing because I was trying to warm up. It was freezing out today.
Their small does not look like 12oz. Medium was more satisfying, but way more expensive.
