Coffee & Tea Talk

[artiemom]

I need to make a pitcher of green tea tomorrow. I ran out of lemons...

Today, I had my usual Dunkin Iced Cold Brew with almond milk... and a couple of Dunkin Bagel Bites.. not bad.. not the size of an entire bagel. It comes in an order of two. The size of the bagel bite is larger than a dunkin munchkin; yet, smaller than a real bagel, and thinner.

It is stuffed with cream cheese. They heat them up for you.

This is the second time I tried them. I will get them again.

Taster's Choice Columbian packets, instant coffee.

I had my usual black dark roast coffee this morning. It never gets old and I always look forward to it first thing in the morning. Since I met friends for lunch I kept getting refills of coffee this afternoon.

I tried Dunkin's new midnight roast this morning. It's a very good dark roast.

 

[maggiedemi]

Finishing up these Taster's Choice Columbian packets today.

My usual dark roast coffee with breakfast. It poured this morning and then got exceptionally hot and humid so I stopped at SB for an Iced Americano while running errands this afternoon.

 

[maggiedemi]

Drinking some Maxwell House half caff, 1/3 cup grounds. First cup is black, but might add some other stuff later.
Will open my Nescafe dark roast instant coffee tomorrow.

Jumping in since I found this on the new post page.

Today I had a Dunkin peach passion fruit green tea refresher. Favorite drink since I quit soda and coffee. When I was drinking coffee not long ago, Dunkin butter pecan iced coffee with (one fewer than standard for size) cream and no sugar was my jam.

 

[neely]

Triple coffee drinks today - 1) black dark roast coffee with breakfast, 2) espresso with lunch, and 3) Iced Americano late afternoon.

 

[maggiedemi]

Maxwell House Half Caff again, made with 1/3 cup grounds. First one is black, might add milk, sugar, honey, or maple syrup later since I have a whole pot to play around with.

I had to fast after 10pm last night for a blood test this morning.
On the way home, I needed to hit the closest coffee place: Dunkin.
I saw they were advertising a new brew: Sunrise Morning. It is a medium to lightly dark brew.
I decided to try it, iced. Surprisingly, finding it a good alternative to the Cold Brew.

Since I was hungry, and spacey from fasting, I decided to get a double order to the bagel bites. They are really good. Twice the site of a munchkin, stuffed with cream cheese; 2 to an order; heated. I got the plain ones. I was hungry and it was already 11:30 am.

 

[Lari]

artiemom are you able to have cream cheese then? I thought you couldn't have dairy. Or is that okay with like a lactaid?

 

[artiemom]

I can have some limited dairy. I do not have it often. I am discovered that as long as I take a probiotic twice a day, and the omperazole, I do ok. Not daily with the dairy.

Dark roast coffee with breakfast and Iced Americano mid-afternoon. The temps were much nicer than the past few days so we sat in the patio area outside SB and ran into an old friend. It was great to catch up with her while enjoying our iced drinks.

 

[maggiedemi]

double order to the bagel bites.

Do they give you a dipping sauce or they taste good on their own?

You always run into an old friend every time! I hope I get well enough to do that soon. I do have some friends, but they get tired of me being a ghost they never see.

Drinking Maxwell House Half Caff today. Will open my new dark roast instant coffee on Monday probably. I want to see how long it lasts compared to grounds.

 

[Lari]

neely has either a million old friends or just luck to always be where they are. Or both!

 

[artiemom]

M maggiedemi no dipping sauce. Think of a bagel with cream cheese, and roll it up. As in a dunking munkin, but bagel, stuffed with cream cheese. Dipping sauce is not necessary.

 

[Lari]

I had a "Louise" from this little coffee shop. Vanilla and mint syrups in a nitro cold brew (and I had a dash of oat milk added)

 

[Willowy]

Ooh, vanilla mint! That sounds great. The only time I've had mint in coffee is in peppermint mochas around Christmastime, I should look around and see if any local places have the vanilla mint.

You can buy stuffed bagel bites in the frozen section of any grocery store. I'm sure they're better when Dunkin' runs them through their big ovens, but they aren't bad at all at home.

I admit I'm a very social person. I still see friends from college, friends I met when my kids were in school, friends that were neighbors from the last two homes we lived in plus our present home, friends from the gym I belong to and many friends from all the years I was teaching. And my kids tease me because I sometimes talk to people I don't even know.

Got up early this morning and relaxed with my dark roast coffee then had an Iced Americano in the city this afternoon.
