Coffee Talk

[guzelkiz]

I've been chatting with some fellow coffee addicts over in the Random Thoughts thread but I thought maybe I should make a separate thread.  So let's discuss anything/everything about coffee!

I just got the Peet's Sumatra blend in the k cups and I really like it!  Need to make a note to try their Major Dickinsons Blend since it's so popular.

I forgot to mention, add the soda water slowly, and leave lots of room at the top. It foams/bubbles fast and in massive quantities, especially when heavy cream is used (rather than the half/half natural bliss or milk). Do report back, I would love to hear how you like it. 

[guzelkiz]

Ohh good tip!  That would not be fun to have it bubble over!  For sure I will let you know!

For the past two days I've used pumpkin spice powder and white chocolate creamer in my coffee. It's yummy!

[guzelkiz]

That sounds good!  A few days ago I made chocolate chip cookies and threw some pumpkin spice chips in there.  Delicious!

Target has a 30% off Carthweel for Gevalia, Maxwell House,  and McCafe K Cups. There are also manufacturer coupons for some of these so make sure to check to save more money!

I saw a great deal for So Delicious Coconut Creamer at Whole Foods so I got it even though I hate coconut.  It's actually not bad!

This Friday (1/22) Safeway is selling Peet's K Cups 10 cup boxes for $5.  Not an amazing price but normally I believe you can get these for $6.99 here.

I bought the pump for the 1 L bottle of Starbucks syrup I bought but I actually prefer just pouring the syrup myself so I can just use a small amount.  If anyone wants the pump let me know.  I haven't even opened the package I was sent so I could just forward it as is.

Oh, I love coffee!

[guzelkiz]

Yay!

I made a Chestnut Praline Cappuccino today and it turned out so well.  Looks cute too so here's a picture

[AnneMCC]

Nice! Hope you enjoyed this 🙂

[guzelkiz]

I totally did, and every day since 😛

[jen143xo]

Wow this looks delicious!  It does look so cute! #muglife! Love that mug!!!! 😄

[guzelkiz]

It was really good!  I may make another today 😛  It's from Target!  I loove it because I collect coffee mugs!

[laketom]

Looks delicious and love the mug!  What did you put on top?

my coffee day was a bit disasterous.  I couldn't get the two parts separated on my stovetop percolator, ended up breaking the handle off. So I went downstairs to get the Keurig, couldn't find the adapter for the coffee grounds and figured, what's the worst that could happen?  Well, the worst that can happen is when you put the cute little refillable coffee pod with grounds in without the adaptor, coffee grounds end up in your coffee, counter and all of the Keurig. 

So yeah, tea today.

[jen143xo]

Aww, I hate when days start off like that!  I hope today was a better coffee day! 😉

[laketom]

It was, thanks!  I was desperate for coffee that day!  I'm loving the way the coffee comes out from a percolator. Very smooth. 

[guzelkiz]

Really?   I've never made coffee in a percolator before.  Hmm... Btw maybe it's just me but anytime anyone using the word "percolator" I think about that Missy Elliot song "Let's get it percolating/While you're waiting"  😛

[laketom]

I think it's the same or similar to the stovetop espresso maker you posted a picture of. I love the convenience of a Keurig but I'm trying the stovetop for a while. Also, I have a cheapo French press, need to break that out again. 

[guzelkiz]

Ohh ok.  Good to know.
