I love coffee!!
However, it does not make me hyper or super awake, but I wish it did at times... like every morning when I am half asleep til about 10 or so..


At work I drink Kirkland Dark Roast from Costco, I really like it actually. I LOVE strong dark coffee.

At home I will usually get whatever's on sale but always french/dark roast and whole beans. Eight O'Clock French Roast beans are really good. Again, I make it strong.

No cream. Just a tiny bit of sugar. You know at this point I probably use about 1/4 tsp of sugar per mug, I might as well stop the sugar altogether!

I like both, but I tend to drink more tea than coffee. I have to be careful with coffee because I'm sensitive to some of the fillers they tend to use...they give me wicked headaches.

I LOVE Teavana teas. I have an extensive collection...both at home and at the office. If I had to pick a favorite I'd probably have to go with Earl Grey White, but there are tons of them that I love.

For coffee, I prefer the expensive fancy espresso drinks.
I know they're too expensive, and they're not real coffee, but I like them anyway.

Coffee in the morning, sometimes afternoon if I can get someone to go out for it.

I like my coffee to taste like coffee, a bit on the strong side, milk no sugar.

Never instant.
yuk I can remember when I was at home. Mother would some times run out of ground and try to fool us with instant in the pot. I could always tell the difference.

Coffee with cream in the morning to wake me up. Iced tea all day long. I don't care for carbonated beverages, so iced tea is my cold drink of choice. If I'm craving something sweet, I like Lipton's raspberry iced tea.

Coffee or tea? Tea!

Though... favorite hot beverage of choice is a hot chocolate, and even better if the hot chocolate has a hint of nutty flavor.

Goodmorning
Both!

I don't make my own, but Starbucks makes good coffee (in my opinion), and when I'm in the mood I usually get a caramel frappuchino, they are just so good! I love coffee with flavors and syrups and whips and everything bad for me, LOL. It just tastes delicious! Plain coffee is so boring.

With tea, if I make it at home it's usually just with a regular tea bag with some milk and sugar
I love other types of teas but I don't know names

I love both, but I'd have to say coffee simply because I HAVE to have it every morning.

I like Folger's Classic Roast if it's just basic coffee with a little half and half. If I'm getting fancy and using my espresso machine or my automatic grinding coffee machine (yes, I have three coffee makers....sad, I know
) I like a variety of the Starbucks beans. Usually something around medium roast, not a huge fan of the darker roasts.

Well, I must say, I'm quite happy when there's 3pgs of responses to the Daily Question



re: Starbucks.... I wouldn't even know WHAT to order there LMAO.

I go to Timmy's: XL double milk, one sugar. And if I've been good, the odd time I will have a french vanilla cappincino (just a medium).

Coffee in the morning. DH makes it the night before and sets the timer. It starts to brew about 15 minutes before the alarm goes off so it is ready when we stumble out to the kitchen. We normally drink flavored coffee such as french vanilla, irish cream or chocolate raspberry. A couple of packets of sweet-n-low, coffeemate creamer and we are good to go.

During the day at work I will normally drink ice water but occasionally will make some hot tea if my throat is bothering me. I might have a soft drink with lunch, but not all the time. Evenings I might have a rootbeer.
