Coffee & Tea Talk

[artiemom]

Yesterday, I opened up a box of TJ's Ethiopian Coffee. It is strong! Really strong.. but so good with one packet of Sugar in the Raw, and almond milk. Will be drinking that until the box is gone.

My order of Keurig Coffee came in. I have tons of coffee in the house. Enough to last most of the bad winter/Covid months! also tea!

I have 24 k-ups each of: Donut shop Peppermint bark, Green Mountain Holiday Blend,
Green Mountain Breakfast blend, Starbucks Verdana Blend, The TJ's Ethiopian Blend, 10 of Starbucks Raspberry Chocolate Blend, 10 TJ's Decaf, and a pound of regular ground Starbuck Peppermint Mocha~~ which I snagged at Walgreens and Grocery store.

For Tea: 3 boxes of Barry's Red label Irish Breakfast tea, One Barry's Green label, One package of PG Tips tea, and a variety of others.

All set for the duration....

That sounds amazing!

It tastes pretty good. Coffee Mate has this coffee creamer, although I wish International Delight or Bailey's had this coffee creamer since I like their brands better. Anyway, you can have your cake and drink it too. Lol I just love Red Velvet cake this time of the year. Yum!!!

It looks like Bailey's does have a red velvet creamer, at least on instacart. I've never seen it in stores, but I generally don't buy coffee creamer and just use milk because I am cheap and lazy.

Oh, you are right they do have it! I never seen it in the stores though. I might check with Amazon Fresh to see if they have it, then add it to my next food order. Thanks for letting me know.

Aren't electric kettles great?

I love my electric kettle I've had it since college so it's old. Mine is this old Rival Hot Pot model:

I used to make noodles and such in the Hot Pot as well.

I have an Amazon Basic kettle at work. The fancy multi-drink machine will dispense hot water but everything comes out of the same spout and water picks up all the coffee residue that's dried on the spout I just want plain hot water, not water that tastes of various different coffees and other hot drinks

This is the once I have but I got it from Kohl's. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HYZTJTP/?tag=thecatsite

I only use it for water.

 

[Lari]

I have an electric one in the basement I used to use at the first school I worked at for hot water for tea, but I basically just use this basic stovetop one.

Please ignore the mess in the background. We're having trouble keeping on top of things right now.

I had coffee with Red Velvet coffee creamer this morning.

That sounds good!

Ethiopian Coffee

You have quite the coffee/tea stash now. If I lived closer, I would probably be trying to raid your stash.

That made me laugh so hard!

This morning:
Starbucks Verdana Blend Coffee with Almond milk. I am getting to a point where I can really notice the difference between blend, and brands. It is amazing..
The Veranda Blend is lighter, a bit flowery, if that is possible... at least to me.

Had my regular oatmeal, blueberries, maple syrup for breakfast.

Brand and blend can make a huge difference in taste. And I also can taste flowery undertastes in some coffees, as well as nutty flavors.

That's why I drink one cup a day black, with nothing added. Sometimes I like to really taste the coffee. The rest of the day, I have my sugary cappuccino type drinks.

Finished up the Dunkin pumpkin spice coffee today- usual 3 cups with Aldi coconut creamer and various amounts of white sugar, and drank one cup black.

It was 18 F when I woke up this morning so couldn't wait to have a warm mug of dark roast coffee, black of course.

Finished up the last of the McCafe Columbian coffee, 3 cups with Aldi Coconut Creamer and various amounts of white sugar.

 

[artiemom]

This morning was SB Veranda blend with Almond milk.. a bit too much fo milk for me.. kind of weak...
And an English Muffin with butter.

My usual morning dark roast coffee and this afternoon I made a Lungo in the Nespresso.

 

[Whenallhellbreakslose]

I am really getting into the season. I had two cups of coffee--one with Holiday Cookie CC and the other with Peppermint Mocha CC. Oddly, enough I have been having a hard time getting Ginger Bread CC. Everything I go to to my local supermarket, it is sold out. Bummer!

I made a Lungo in the Nespresso

What is that?

Holiday Cookie CC and the other with Peppermint Mocha CC. Oddly, enough I have been having a hard time getting Ginger Bread CC

I would like to get some holiday flavored cappuccinos.

Me too! There's a Starbucks at the hospital, but the line was too long for my comfort today after my appointment. I kind of want to try that sugarplum drink at Dunkin. Maybe I'll go through a drive through one of these days.

I think you asked me this once before but I don't mind posting again, here you go:
