slo’s Thursday 1/12 poll - Coffee Drinking (How Much)

[TippyThomas]

I found that I don't enjoy the taste of coffee unless I dress it up with all kinds of sugary flavor so I don't drink it.

Yes I know I’m showing my age by reading a newspaper!!

I'm older than you, Steve, I read 2 papers in the morning, with my decaf.

I'm much more of a tea drinker. But now and then I get a craving for some coffee, usually something like a peppermint mocha. Maybe a couple of times a month or so.

 

[Mousemom234]

Based on the average 6oz serving, between 4 and 8 a day. Depends on where I am, and what I'm doing.
At home, it's my big WDW Cheshire cat mug, which is 16 oz.
No sugar; ½ & ½ at home, whole milk in the Dining Room, whatever's provided at a restaurant. I'll drink coffeemate, but I don't like it, and might not drink a whole cup. (If I forget that's what they offer and order coffee at all there.)

I drink a 30oz tumbler full every morning during the week. I rarely have any on the weekends.

I am not a daily coffee drinker. At my old job, there was a Starbucks in the building, and I was there probably 4 out of 5 days a week (mostly iced tea, but 1-2 days a week, a cold brew.) I moved, and I'm trying to adapt to an area where Starbucks is not as popular (Dunkin is, but I don't like their coffee.) There's a local coffee company that is sold in some of the local shops, and I found that I absolutely love it. It's so much better than Starbucks. I'm a huge cold brew fan, but I'm trying to limit my stops to twice a week. Mondays and Thursdays, I get my cold brew (it's 12 oz, I think) with a little bit of almond milk.

I haven't had much luck making my own cold brew yet, but I'm going to try again once I get a bag of beans from the local company. If that works, then it might be a daily thing. I'm not a big fan of hot coffee or heavily sweetened coffee drinks.

I usually drink 2 or 3 cups of decaf in the morning, and maybe one after dinner.

We have a K-cup brewer upstairs too, for the same reason mentioned above. I suppose that makes us part of the 1%.

When I was working the first cup of the morning was from the upstairs brewer. Then the second I made downstairs and brought it with me to work. I often went to a nearby coffee house for a third cup late morning.

Now that I’m retired (should I mention that in practically every post I make?) coffee is almost exclusively at home.

DW has experimented with every type of coffee maker and it seemed she changed her mind every year. But since Covid it’s been K-cups.

I sometimes stopped for an iced coffee on the way home from work.

Yes but what kind of iced coffee?

 

[Pea-n-Me]

Slightly OT but this was kind of funny the other day.

Not Dunkin, although there are a few in the extended area. I usually enjoyed a mocha mint iced coffee from the same independent coffee shop near my office where I bought hot coffee in the morning.

That sounds good!

Ok - that's hilarious! You've started my morning off w/ a laugh!

 

[bobbiwoz]

I drink one tumbler in the morning. It’s about 2-3 cups. I enjoy my coffee!

What is the new stadium project?

 

[RedAngie]

I remember Dunkin Donuts looking like that too. With a counter where you could sit and drink coffee from ceramic mugs while munching your donuts. Maybe even a few booths too with waitress service.

Let me know if you hit a pay wall.
