Coffee and Tea Talk - 2023

I do not know how much longer I can resist

Why do you have to resist?

2TB Maxwell House International Vanilla Cappuccino Powder, 2Tsp Maxwell House Decaf Instant Coffee, 1/4 Cup Butter Pecan Liquid Creamer in a cup of Great Value Whole Milk.

Can't wait until this decaf is gone. I think I'm gonna get instant Espresso next. Or dark roast.

Time for a cup ...

• Only $3.oo for this coffee. Disappointing compared to Peets dark roast . Am I becoming a "coffee snob" ... ? ! ​

It looks like it's a flavored coffee, you may just not care for flavored coffee. I tried a few before I decided that I didn't care for them. I like a little flavored syrup in a latte but I don't care for the coffee itself to be flavored.

~ I think you are correct.

The evil K-cups continue to taunt me. I do not know how much longer I can resist them!

You mean you haven't given into temptation yet, what are you waiting for, an invitation???

But...but...they are a BIRTHDAY PRESENT TO MYSELF! And, BTW, the only one I'm likely to get. And my birthday isn't for 11 more days!

I am weary, though. I have my tea cup sitting next to the machine, along with honey.

I'm the other way around. I like flavor in my coffee but I don't want it to be sweet. It's SO hard to find good flavored coffee. I've tried countless brands. So far the Cameron Coffee Highlander Grog is my favorite.

I don't like it sweet either. When I was still going to Starbucks before their prices got completely ridiculous I would ask for half the normal syrup and an extra shot of espresso. When made the regular way I didn't taste the coffee and it was way to sweet. I now make a version of a latte with coffee made in a Moka pot. I know that a Moka pot doesn't make true espresso but it is very strong without being bitter. I put just a splash of Torani vanilla syrup in it. I only add a little milk to regular coffee, no sugar.

All week I thought I was drinking Butter Pecan liquid creamer, but it's actually Cinnamon Churro! I didn't even open the Butter Pecan yet. Good, because I didn't really care for the Cinnamon Churro. I just finished it up.

You need to talk to your spawn about that. If you want birthday presents, they should be obliging.

I fully agree. Anything that disguises the flavor of the coffee is not real coffee to me. I not only love the taste of pure coffee but the aroma as well. And with that thought I'm going to have my dark roast black coffee now.

Well in that case 11 more days is not that long to wait. BTW, Happy Early Birthday! Even if you don't get any other gifts we all wish you our best on your special day.

~ I like Torani also. I use sugarless Hazelnut & Vanilla flavor.

Been drinking this instant mocha flsvored stuff as my first cup to boost the weak cafeteria stuff they offer with breakfast here at this skilled nusingplace i got sent to for therapy on my leg.i need somecreal coffe with a kick to it been drinking 2 or 3 cups of this weak stuff to feel normal

How goes it with the healing? Can GF can sneak in the Kona?

 

[susanm9006]

Two cups of drip coffee. I am finding it hard to finish using the Keurig cups because there seems to be a notable caffeine hit with the new coffee maker.

Getting discharged or walking out of this facility on Wednesday. doesnt make sense to stay any longer than that.or getting more therapy when my wound from abcess drain is already healed. antibiotics are finnished and my leg function wise is already good as or better than it was before all this began.

Got a Pumpkin Spice Cappuccino from a deli in town for only $1.59! I swear it was $1.29 last week. But if it was, oh well, it's still cheaper than Dunkin or Tim Horton's! I was surprised they still had Pumpkin Spice in March!!! Yum.

LOL, I'm sure that they will call, which is the best present of all. And Spawn 1 is planning to replace both my iphone and my tv this year, so those will be late presents. But I AM looking forward to tearing into that box of tea! Still holding out.

I give you credit, you've got will power!

Just finished my second dark roast black coffee for the day.

Tomorrow I'm going to Dunkin' with my friend I haven't seen in over 20 years. She doesn't like coffee, so she's getting a Vanilla Chai Latte or something like that? I'll probably get a vanilla latte unless they have a new flavor.
