So tell me about your morning coffee...
Or tea or whatever you happen to be drinking this morning.

I am drinking Starbuck's Serena Organic. Pretty solid stuff. Oh and I made it with Arrowhead drinking water. No tap stuff in my coffee if I can help it!!!

3. oh you wacky libruls
and your sugar and cream. :)

Nothing like strong coffee though. My childhood love of strong coffee probably has something to do with my lack of height. :)

8. haha
Oh yeah, I like mine strong and black. Not like my men though. Not that there is anything wrong with that. :)

I refuse to use cream and sugar. I am a former bull riding MT farm hick, and sometimes I act like it. :)

24. I only drink it when I had to
Wish starbucks was closer, but atleast there is a 1369 nearby (and a new, AWESOME coffee shop just opened in my neighborhood). If you're ever in Slummaville, look me up :D

17. Instant store brand swill
Hannaford's generic instant crap, light and sweet (or "regulah", as we like to say).

This is a medical need, damn it. You wouldn't make a heroin addict fuss around trying to craft the perfect smackacinno, would you?

(props to Dave Barry for the Smackacinno reference)

18. I got me a hot, fortifying grande latte
on the way home from swim practice. Pitch black, 50 degrees, foggy--perfect swim weather.

Living in the 'boibs as I do, I've come to appreciate the community-hub role played by the seemingly bland Starbucks. It's a beehive in the morning, full of life, which I enjoy as much as getting some coffee.

tall nonfat caramel macchiato
It tastes good, but I still have no idea what macchiato is.

And I have one of these things every day.

21. Whole Foods holiday Celebration Blend
Edited on Wed Nov-21-07 10:41 AM by supernova
with notes of chocolate and tangerine. Normal caffeine.

I made it with my normal tap water which is fresh well water. :9 And I added in cinnamon, dark agave syrup, 1/2 & 1/2, and my fiber supplement (totally invisible in liquid),

It's a little cheaper too than my normal choice, sumatra blue batik.

edit: I get the whole beans so I can grind them myself every other day.
