Coffee and Tea Talk - 2023

[Margot Lane]

I had to look up what Biscoff was. oooo, sounds intriguing.

I got the white chocolate macadamia cold brew from Starbucks yesterday and really liked it!

I forgot the exact name of the tea I'm having tonight, it is either Confetti or Funfetti. I THINK it's the first.

Dark roast black coffee this morning and it was so hot and humid this afternoon I got an Iced Americano.

 

[Mamanyt1953]

I have to mix up my homemade half-caff tonight. I ran out this morning.

We got Wendy's last night and I decided to try the vanilla Frosty-ccino. It was slightly disappointing. Not really frosty or coffee enough somehow, but it was pretty cheap, so I'd likely try the chocolate version.

Another of the turtle iced latte from Dunkin today, so we could get our free doughnut for national doughnut day.

When you order their lattes, do you customize them at all? Or do you just say I want a turtle latte?

If I order in person or in the drive thru I don't usually customize because it feels too difficult - especially in the drive thru where sometimes I can't hear well (I think I did remember to ask for light ice in an iced coffee once), but if I have money on a gift card and order through the app I'm more likely to put in customizations because I trust it more when it's written down

~ I continue to find coffee marked down. I will eventually try all of them. Seattle's Best is a good one. Today I made a concoction with fresh ground and dark roast "special ". Came out a little bitter. I believe that I may have used too much ...

I have not read through all 33 pages so no doubt I've missed whatever discussion there has been of cold brewed coffee. What I've been doing is about 3 / 3.5 ounces of coarsely ground dark roasted coffee with 2 cups of water in a French press. Filter is gently pushed down just below the surface of the liquid. Then I try to fill this nto the refrigerator for 12 plus hours before pressing down on the plunger and decanting.

Pour over coffee ice cubes to serve cold with milk and sugar. It really looks best in a glass mug, to my mind.

How do you do it?

Dark roast black coffee to start off my morning and a latte with oat milk and cinnamon on top in the afternoon.

I was excited that Google said we had a 7 Eleven in town. They have great cappuccino! But we don't have one. I drove there and checked and it's A Plus, which has crappy cappuccino. I don't know why Sunoco has different convenience stores now. It's only Sunoco gas pumps, then the store part is a different name. The cappuccino doesn't taste good anymore at the A Plus locations.

A friend found a new coffee shop…




And the menu is … rather eclectic

When we originally moved to this giant desert city from Seattle 20+ years ago, we would drive 20 minutes to the only little coffee shop that served Seattle’s Best regardless of all the Starbucks scattered about.

We were a bit sad when Starbucks bought SB, even though they promised to keep SB as it’s own “thing”.
And now there a rumor Starbucks wants to sell (sold?) SB to Nestle.

I would try sooooo many of those drinks.

We did a coffee date after stroller strides today at a smaller chain. I got one of the June specials, a white chocolate blueberry latte (iced).

~ Unfortunately things are usually not the same when a company is sold ... `

Two cups of dark roast black coffee today. Then I brought my car in for an oil change and had another cup of coffee from their Keurig machine - SB Veranda K-cup.

I had the Community Coffee Mardi Gras King Cake coffee this morning. Tomorrow will be Dunkin dark roast. I got a bag of each with my last Amazon subscribe and save.
