Coffee & Tea Talk

The usual! Sumatra dark roast, Brazil decaf, with some Italian Sweet Cream Creamer. Done in a French Press.

That sounds good!

That sounds good!

It's a Coffeemate flavor. My favorite is Bailey's creamer by another company, but I haven't seen that at the store for awhile.

This morning I had Hills Bros French Vanilla Cappuccino, made with hot milk and 1/4 cup cappuccino mix. I didn't add any extra coffee this time. I think I prefer it made with water.

Your turn, what did you have?

Your turn, what did you have?

My usual, i.e. black, dark roast coffee - I don't like anything sweet unless it's dessert.

This morning I tried soy milk for the first time! It was pretty good, it added a sweet note. I heated it in microwave and added 2 Tsp of Community dark roast instant coffee and 1/4 cup Hills Bros French Vanilla Cappuccino. We also have Almond Milk, Rice Milk, and Coconut Milk. So I guess I should try all of them. Our house is like a grocery store right now.

Your turn! What did you have to drink this morning?

The same as always! But I figure it's boring to say the same thing every day.

If you're boring make room on the sofa for me. I have the same dark roast coffee every morning.

It's not boring!

I gave in to the craving and am having coffee after dinner! I've having the same thing, Hills Bros French Vanilla cappuccino made with hot soy milk and 2 tsp Community coffee instant dark roast.

You're in good company, I had coffee before dinner.

I want coffee in the evening. I tried decaf but the little bit of caffeine in there still keeps me awake, so I go to caffeine free tea. Not so much when the weather is warm though, but it's comforting before bed.

 

[maggiedemi]

I only had 1/2 cup of soy milk left, so I had to use 1/2 cup of almond milk. The combo was pretty good! I used 1/4 cup of Hills Bros Classic Cappuccino, and 2 Tsp Community Coffee dark roast. Heated in microwave.

I'm relaxing with Demi after dinner, with a cappuccino made with warm almond milk. I never had these milk alternatives before, I really like them. I'm not vegan, so I never bothered to try them before, since we always have regular milk around.

I just realized I forgot to post this morning. I slept late and needed my caffeine which was my usual, i.e. dark roast black coffee. I had a cup of honey lemon ginseng green tea in the late afternoon.

Tea Talk: at bedtime, it's "A Cup of Colorado" Red Raspberry herbal tea. It has a nice raspberry flavor, ease in to bedtime.

I had a cup of my Cafe Mocha last night around 7:30 and worried that drinking it that late in the day might give me trouble sleeping. It didn't.

I don't think they put much coffee in these instant mixes. I always have to add extra.

I had Hills Bros classic cappuccino, 1/4 cup of the mix in a mug of warm almond milk. This time I added a bit less of the Community dark roast instant coffee, I added just a heaping teaspoon and it tasted better than 2 tsp.

This morning the usual Sumatra Dark and Brazil Decaf, with Italian Sweet Cream Creamer, and I added some cinnamon- the cinnamon is great in it!

Thanks, I forgot all about adding cinnamon to coffee. It's often referred to as Mexican spiced coffee and tastes great.

Although I don't use milk in my black coffee I do like almond milk in a latte. My second favorite milk substitute is oat milk, have you tried it?

Another cup of dark roast coffee for me this morning. Going for a walk soon before it rains and I'm sure there will be an afternoon espresso later in the day.
