and ugh now I have a certain Salt 'n Pepa song stuck in my head.

Anyway... do you drink it? How do you take it? Favorite brands? Flavored or unflavored? Froofy Starbucks coffee or no?

We have a Keurig. I'm a sissy, so I make a 16 ounce mug from 1 K-Cup of light roast, and then add my cream and sweetner.

My favorite is the Green Mountain Pumpkin Spice, or for unflavored, the Breakfast Blend.

Non-Keurig, I like Dunkin Donuts.

If we go to DD/Starbucks/Etc, I get some kinda froofy latte. Caramel, Pumpkin, etc. My fave there is White Chocolate Mocha.

I :heartslub coffee. Btw.
 
I love coffee. Almost any kind will suit me as long as it has caffeine. However, I don't care for Starbucks b/c I think it has a "burnt" flavor to it. I make a pot of Folgers every morning and drink 10-12 cups before lunch.
 
I agree about Starbucks. Blech. That's why I have to get the froofy stuff, to kill the taste of their bitter coffee.
 
I love Starbucks for their Latte's but other than that, their coffee is a bit strong to me! I :beat my Keurig so I get any kind of medium to bold strength coffee so I can make two cups out of the one tiny a** cup it gives you :giggle
 
Well we are die-hard Starbuckers. lol We buy the grounds, drink the coffee, the frothee and the fraps. We like the bolder coffee and the fact that there's not preservatives.
 
I have a love affair with my Keurig... check out my P365 photo from yesterday:

Right now my fav coffee is the Mexico Dark... I just love it's flavor. AND I LOVE Pumpkin spice and I can't get it anymore. :( I also love the Raspberry chocolate truffle! Soooo yummy! Also Wild Mountain Blue Berry and Jamaica Me Crazy and and and... lol! I could keep going! I take mine with Flavored creamer. Less calories and taste sooo much better than milk and sugar or cream and sugar. :)
 
Well, in the past, I never drank it. Didn't care for the taste. Howeverrrr....since my hubby got his Keurig a year or so ago, I've become a full-blown addict. I HAVE to have at least one cup a day, or it's not pretty. :p

As for flavors, I like the milder, sweeter coffees, things like Cinnamon Pastry, Vanilla Bean, etc.
 
I love a good ol' fashioned cup of regular roast coffee with a tsp of sugar and my White Chocolate Mocha creamer! Total yumminess!
 
I :heartslub:heartslubmy Keurig, even though the darned thing tears up on a regular basis. I think I'm on my fourth or fifth one. My favorite is Green Mountain Nantucket Blend with Coffeemate Sweet Italian cream creamer (refrigerated) and splenda.

Not a huge starbucks fan (except for their cake pops which is a whole 'nother story), but I do like their White Chocolate Mocha as well.

I never liked blended iced coffees until I was pregnant. There was this awesome little local coffee shop in a tiny building across from my law school that had the best vanilla bean frozen coffee. Yummmm. I miss that place a little.
 
I big puffy heart my Keurig as well! I've had it for 14 months now and I think I've been to Starbucks twice in that time span. I can be sensitive to caffeine so I drink the decaf k-cups in my Keurig. We get free coffee at work and I usually have a cup of regular coffee in the morning though. Because it's free.
 
So we're a little coffee crazy here. DH and I both typically drink it black. We have at least 4 different ways to brew coffee and DH has told me he wants to add about 5 coffee pots to our collection.

DH buys green beans and roasts them in an old school popcorn popper. He'd love to get a drum roaster at some point but it's not in our budget right now.

The only fru-fru type coffees that I drink are at Christmas time we make eggnog lattes which are soooooo good, and the other one is DH makes a decaf cold brew coffee for grasshoppers (I typically don't like cold coffee but this is soooo yummy!!!).
 
I lurv coffee, but I don't have any cool machine, just a plain simple Bialetti:

actually, I have this Bialetti in a few sizes, even this one "dressed up" like a cow, it makes capuccino too!! it's perfect!

Here in Brazil there's a store called Kopenhagen, they have a special capuccino with chocolate inside...it's to die for!

I did a layout about a month ago on how I wished I liked coffee :giggle
I have never been able to stand the stuff until a few months ago when i had an iced caramel mocha from McD's. I couldn't justify spending that much on a drink so I started making a homemade version w/half coffee, half milk and 1 1/2T. or so of homemade caramel syrup. Not sure if I would consider myself drinking coffee since it's more like caramel milk, but it's soooo good. Had to cut back when I got pregnant, but if I make the caramel, I'm def making me some coffee!
 
I drink at least 3 cups a day. Love my Keurig & start my day with at least 2 cups. About 3 times a week I get a latte from Starbucks too. Love them.
 
I make myself a cappo/Hillbros brand. I just add HOT water. I would says every couple of days. Takes me awhile to drink it :) I usually burn my tongue and dont have taste for a couple days. Then I make another cup..heheh
 
I'm a tea drinker, love the smell of coffee, but never got into drinking it. I got DH a Keurig at Christmas and a couple boxes of different flavours to try out. He ended up liking one of the sample ones that was in the box with the Keurig.. donut shop which he said tastes just like Dunkin Donuts coffee. He also loves french vanilla and Kicking Horse. I got him the adapter as well so he can buy his favourites, grind, and brew it. Pumpkin spice sounds yummy.
