In this world, there are coffee drinkers and then there is everyone else. Some of you know exactly what I'm talking about and some of you don't get it at all (you would be in the second group). Coffee is more than just a drink, it's an experience...every.single.time.
I love coffee. Really and truly, if I were to be doing my Fifty Two Shades in order of importance, my first post would have been Jesus and my second post would have been coffee :).
I decided to wait and do my coffee post at the beginning of September for two reasons...first, it's getting cooler outside and that just demands coffee, and the second reason...
...Starbucks' Pumpkin Spice Latte is back for the fall!
Today just seemed like the perfect day to celebrate coffee!
So, how do I get my coffee? Well, I drink at least two cups a day. My first cup is always right when I wake up. As soon as my alarm goes off and my eyes pop open, I head straight to my coffee. I get excited about my coffee in the morning! We use our Keurig Single Cup Platinum Brewer at home...
Here's why we love our Keurig:
1. It allows everyone in the house to drink whatever they want without having to brew an entire new batch of coffee. If some people want flavored, if some people want tea, if some people want decaf, if some people want stronger coffee...you get to pick that and not brew an entire pot.
2. You get a fresh cup of coffee every time. I like to drink coffee throughout the day (especially if it's cold or raining outside), so I keep getting fresh cups of hot coffee and not stale, old, made it a few hours ago coffee.
3. It's so simple to clean! You only have to wash your coffee cup! When you brew a pot of coffee, you have to wash out your coffee pot and your filter...but not with the Keurig...just your cup!
I like to buy my coffee from Coffee Giant.
My grandparents told me about this website years ago and I've been hooked ever since. They ship quickly and their prices on coffee (especially the K-Cups that go into a Keurig) are great! It's much less expensive than buying in stores like Walmart or Target and they have an unbelievable variety! Right now, I'm drinking a lot of Green Mountain's Pumpkin Spice and Andrew drinks Donut House's Chocolate Glazed Donut.
Some of our other favorite K-Cup flavors are:
Hawaiian Coconut (which is seasonal)
I love my coffee with one Truvia and some creamer but this time of year, I'm excited about this...
Ahhhh...it's such a wonderful site to see my favorite fall and holiday creamers in the grocery store :).
So, my first cup of coffee is brewed at home in my Keurig with some Coffee Giant Coffee and creamer. But my second cup a day always comes from...
Starbucks :).
I'm Shay and I'm an addict. I have no plans of reforming. I enjoy this dependency too much.
Nine months out of the year, I get a tall nonfat Caramel Macchiato every day. Is there really anything better than that green and white cup? Yes, there is...
...the red cup. (All of you Starbucks lovers out there know what I'm talking about!)
The other 3 months a year, I'm a nonfat Pumpkin Spice Latte girl.
My name is Shay...and I love coffee.
Next week, it's Fifty Two Shades of Shay: Decorating your House for Fall!
Happy Tuesday!
