Coffee- how, when and why?

Yum! Coffee! Add me to the "coffa-holic" list! :D I usually like to have coffee first thing in the am. Occasionally, an evening cuppa is nice, but only if it is decaffinated. I love Starbucks, and especially like the holiday flavors. Anyone else like the gingerbread latte? It tastes like a mouthful of cookies! Yum!

At home, I like to grind my own coffee, and my absolute favorite is Ghirardelli Chocolate Raspberry. It's hard to find, but I stock up when I do find it! Otherwise, I just get what's on sale, usually Creamy Hazelnut or Irish Cream. I like half and half, but skim milk will do. I also use sugar or splenda, 3 please! :D

Ewwwww :o I HATE coffee....I hate the smell, the taste makes me gag.....ick.

I will admit to being a tad addicted to Stevens Hot Chocolate with vanilla creamer in it in the winter though.

I can't stand to drink hot drinks other than in the winter. It's just not right! :p

I usually only drink coffee when it starts getting chilly out. I'll have a cup when I first get to work to warm me up, but it has to be with a yummy creamer (toasted almond or kahlua are the best!). I don't like the coffee I make, I like the coffee at my work.

Wow, I am really learning ALOT! I am trying the salt thing tomorrow.


Tatsxxx- where did you find an automatic grinder/coffee maker? That sounds about perfect for me. I am holding out, waiting for a great sale on a combo coffee/esspresso maker.

I have one good cup of coffee a day, in the afternoon - unless I'm out for dinner. :D

I usually drink Arabica, but I LOVE the Kenya sort. I have mine with 2 small sugars and whipped warm milk. On occasion, I pour a drop of Grand Marnier in. Yummy! :)

How could I forget?

One of my favorite things to do is add a carmel to the cup; it melts and makes it yummier. (And mocha coffee turns into turtle fudge brownie coffee! :D )

I love coffee in the mornings. When I brew my own, I prefer the Sumatra or Kenya type of beans. But I have to admit that I visit Starbucks an awful lot!

In the summer, I'll have Starbucks iced coffee with half-n-half--they brew the iced coffee double-strength and chill it over night so the ice doesn't melt and water it down. Yum! Around the holidays, I love an egg-nog latte (espresso with steamed egg nog). It's perfect for Christmas!

Yum! This sounds fabulous! I'm going to have to try it. What sort of carmel do you add?

Have you had the mint chocolate brownie frapuccino at Starbucks! Tastes like chocolate mint ice cream! It's fabulous.
In a pinch, I will put a red and white mint at the bottom of a cup of hot chocolate or mocha for the added minty flavor! Yum!

Don't you wonder what he really would have liked to say to Arianna?

$38 BILLLLIIIIIOOOON in debt and they are talking coffee.

I like a cup of Vergnano from time to time - black or with some milk, and sugar.

Actually, I am a tea-holic :) Last night I had no tea in the house and I was almost crazy :D

I'm rich, I'm rich!!!!

My office building is currently getting recarpeted. Today they are working on the section that <gasp> is in in the path of the coffee maker. I rescued it and it is sitting in my office for the rest of the day.

I have my priorities. I'm also quickly becoming the most popular person here today.:D

Not really - I think they're coming in to talk to me, but all they want is the coffee.:p

I grind my own ( BJ's wholesale club actually sells good whole bean. also a&P) My budget occasionally allows REALLY good stuff. I rarely buy coffee at Starbuck's 'cuz of the sticker shock. :D

Mobil has a Green Mtn Blueberry flavor coffee that's actually quite good!
