COFFEE Lovers UNITE!
Coffee
Lovers Unite!
As I sit here sipping my second hot coffee
of the morning, I can’t help but think of how much I LOVE my coffee! Is it
weird that I sometimes go to bed at tonight thinking fondly of the coffee I’ll
drink when I awake? I am a self-professed coffeeaholic…I adore my coffee and
cannot remember the last time I went a day without it. It was probably in my mid-twenties, and it
was DEFINITELY pre-motherhood!
I wouldn’t call myself a coffee snob, but I
do appreciate a good cuppa joe, and I am disappointed when my coffee doesn’t
have the kick I crave. Over the years I’ve tried different types, and I’ve
taken my coffee different ways. I now
drink my coffee either black, or with milk only. When I think back to how much sugar I used to
consume, I’m horrified. As for cream, I’ve
never been a fan of “creamy” foods, so milk has always been my number 1. How do you take your coffee? Are you someone who is down with the whole
almond milk trend?
As for my favourite java? I’m actually
really fond of the President’s Choice Gourmet coffee grinds. I like it bold and strong, don’t give me any
of that medium or light roast! They even have environmentally friendly pods,
perfect for your Keurig machine.
When I grab a coffee on-the-go (which is
more frequently than I should), my coffee shop of choice is Starbucks, for
sure! I love me a Pumpkin Spice Latte, but most often I order their Pike Place
blend. This grind is considered their
medium roast, but if you’ve ever had Starbucks, you know that’s still quite
strong. I feel like I can depend on the quality of their coffee a lot more than
other places. It’s always hot, and never
burnt. There’s nothing worse than taking
that first sip of the coffee you’ve been waiting for, only to discover its been
sitting in the pot for hours, or is only slightly warmer than room
temperature.
McDonald’s has definitely upped their
coffee game in recent years, and I quite enjoy theirs as well, plus collecting
the little stickers is fun! Unfortunately I find the line a little long for
drive thru, but when there’s one nearby, I’ll often stop.
I’m a proud Canadian, but Tim Horton’s
coffee just doesn’t do it for me anymore.
I’m sad to say, I avoid purchasing my coffee here, as it just isn’t
strong enough (even the Dark Roast), and the quality is really
undependable. I still stop by for snacks
or on road trips, but it’s just not a satisfying coffee for me.
What is your favourite blend to brew at
home? Where do you go for a coffee when you’re on-the-go? Is there a favourite spot we should know
about? DO tell!

I came across this video; and it's all about the 'coffee drinkers.' I think it's spot on; plus funny! Enjoy.
