If You Drink Coffee...

MamatoJackson · September 2011

How often do you drink it?

What kind do you buy?

I start a cup in the morning but I usually only get a couple sips. I have one at naptime - Around 1p.m. and then I have one at around 6 or 7p.m.

I'm able to fall asleep, anytime, anywhere, so it doesn't affect my nighttime sleep and really helps give me a little boost for getting evening stuff done.

As far as what kind I buy... I get whatever is cheapest but I have quit using coffee creamer so I'm thinking about upgrading my coffee to something a bit tastier.

Andrewsgal · September 2011

I drink anywhere from 2 to five cups a day. I have a kurig so it is always hot and so easy to make, I really need to cut back.

It's really helping my dieting, too - Awesome appetite supressant. I often make it with ice and splenda, too... especially in the Summer.

How often do you drink it? probably 2 - 3 cups a day, sometimes I'll have a cup at night if we're out. When DS wakes up in the morning, I give him a sippy of milk and let him play while I have my first cup, then we have breakfast.
What kind do you buy? we switched to a kureig a few months ago, so we use the k-cups now. I buy the big box of newman's own from costco. We also loooooove the 'dark magic' k-cup.

Coffee doesn't give me a huge boost or anything, so I can drink it before bed and not be effected. If I don't have a cup in the morning though, I end up with a headache

I have at least 1 cup/day. Usually in the morning but I am still bfing so i try to do it right after a feeding or I wait until mid-day when there is a big gap between my bfing.

I have a keurig too and it's so easy but I do love DD French Vanilla. I craved it when pregnant but tried not to have an coffee (but ate all the chocolate I wanted).

You totally caught me I often drink it to curb hunger, it is a good diet aide for me too:)

DH buys Community so that's what we drink. I will have maybe a cup each morning, sometimes two if the kids are especially good. Most of the time I may not finish the first cup bc it gets cold with all that goes on in the mornings. I mainly drink it to get a caffeine fix. I have stopped buying any kind of soda so it is my only caffeine source for the day.

Shoshi10 · September 2011

I have 1 cup every morning. I have a Keurig and have different flavor K cups I use. Morning blend, Cinammon pastry, and we just ordered some pumpkin K cups online. We also have a box of half caf K cups and I sometimes have one in the afternoon if I am really tired. If I don't have my 1 cup in the morning, by noon I have a pounding headache.

EnglishMajor03 · September 2011

4 cups...sometimes five depending on the day. I stop drinking at 1, though, because it makes me jittery after that.

Oh and I buy Folgers Black Silk. Nothing fancy.

WhitePicketFence · September 2011

I usually drink about 3 cups a day - 2 in the morning and one mid-afternoon. As for what kind I buy, I get the Wegmans brand. It's insanely cheap for the 35 oz. can (something like $6-7) and is actually quite tasty.

Huh? I didn't know coffee curbs hunger? If anything it makes me jumbles mcgee on an empty stomach.

MrsC17 · September 2011

I'm a coffee snob, BUT I have grown to love the folger's vanilla biscotti k-cups (I have keurig)- pre-keurig I only bought Dunkin Donuts bags of coffee. I have 1 or 1.5 cups at the start of the day, and either a small coffee of some kind (usually capp or iced) or an iced tea if I'm dragging in the mid afternoon.

The Dunkin k-cups are awesome! Have you tried them?

bim38106 · September 2011

I make 8 cups (on the coffee maker = 3 of my large mugs) in the morning and drink it through out the morning. I can't drink it past noon or I won't be able to fall asleep...and I got to bed between midnight and 1!

I buy Dunkin Donuts. I love their French Vanilla Roast, but that gets expensive. So I get their regular stuff, large bags at Costco. I mix that 1/2 1/2 with their decaf. that I get at Target.

And I take my coffee with lots of sugar

Sammysu · September 2011

I drink whatever is on sale but we often buy the folgers black silk too. Nothing fancy.

I make 6 cups a day but never drink it all and the kids make it hard for me to really enjoy a cup in one sitting. There is alot of reheating going on throughout the day. I can't drink it at night though because it keeps me up.

I used to always buy the coffee mate Hazelnut creamer-fat free but have stopped buying that and now use almond milk-vanilla and add two packets of truvia to each cup.

It's the caffeine that is an appetite suppressant.

I drink DD right now. I used to drink Chock Full O' Nuts which was great too. I only drink one cup in the morning. I think I am going to try to wean myself off coffee altogether though. I don't like it black and I know the stuff I put in it isn't good for me (Splenda or sugar, half & half).

mbritto4 · September 2011

My favorite is leelanau coffee's snickerdoodle. I usually just buy what's on sale, usually DD, bux breakfast blend, or the store brand. We buy beans & grind. Lately I drink about half a pot a day.

MamatoJackson · September 2011

Wow, I thought two cups a day was excessive so thanks for the reassurance - I might start having 3 or 4! lol

HarrietNJMommy · September 2011

2 cups each morning.

I use a French press.

I buy my coffee from Whole Foods. Usually an Italian Roast or a Dark French Roast.

HarrietNJMommy · September 2011

DC2London:
I drink two cups of black coffee each morning. We buy the Kirkland Colombian Blend from Costco and it is yummmyyy.
We are coffee snobs though. Burr grinder, fresh ground every morning, french press, the works.

That's me too. I have that Cuisinart conical burr grinder with the 16 settings (coarse to fine),,,,,,

I actually own 3 french presses and an electric kettle......

Que*Syrah · September 2011

For hot coffee I use my Keurig and we drink either Donut Shop coffee or Green Mountain Coffee Nantucket Blend. I drink 2-4 cups a day.

For iced coffee which I am drinking right now I prefer the iced coffee beans from Starbucks which I grind at home and make a pot. I transfer it to a pitcher to keep in the fridge and it lasts about a week. I also buy Starbucks Classic syrup and can completely replicate the Sbux iced coffee at home for a fraction of the cost! It's my addiction, lol. Iced coffee I drink 2-3 a day.

Emma53104 · September 2011

I drink 2 cups in the morning, every day. When I go out, I might have a cup or 2, depending on where I go. I buy the large cans of Tim Hortons coffee (in Canada) and that lasts us about 2 weeks. When DH worked in Texas we only bought Dunkin Donuts regular blend. I miss that!

Temp174496125006552 · September 2011

I drink a giant mug (about 20oz) of it in the morning and then a second mug of it in the early afternoon.

Up until I recently discovered Seattle's Best (which is surprisingly good), I only bought/drank Starbucks. I buy the bags of ground coffee and make it at home. I loooove me some Starbucks, but Seattle's Best is also really good, and even without coupons, it's $2.50 cheaper per bag at Target.

I know people rave about Dunkin' Donuts coffee (my brother loves it and it's all my sister and husband will drink), but I just don't like the taste.

healthynut · September 2011

I have one mug when I first wake up and a second one around 9:30. If it's a weekend and we go to a diner or to D&D or Starbucks, I may have one more cup. Anything more than that and I'll have trouble sleeping. I usually buy maxwell house, but I'm easy and will drink most coffee, so I looks for the sales. After reading all of your posts, I'm tempted to buy Dunkin' just to try.

Fashiongal1973 · September 2011

Usually one or two. One in the am and then possibly one in the afternoon, if we are out. I also have at least one diet pepsi a day.

I am obsessed with Panera Hazelnut but can only get it from their restaurant. So if I am out and near one with a drive through I will go.

My husband got a Flavia one cup machine for free from his work so I have that but I haven't fallen in love with any of the coffee.

There is a local coffee company that you can buy ground or bean from called Kaldi's and I love their Highland Grog. I will buy it and occasionally brew some at home. It has a maple syrup flavor to it.

Right after DS was born I was drinking about a pot a day to stay awake along with soda too.

Mama Jan · September 2011

I have 1-2 cups every morning (whole milk, no sugar) and will make myself an americano or mocha usually around 3pm. DH gets our beans at Costco and grinds them, I don't know what brand they are.

LJR 84 · September 2011

We buy Starbucks coffee, Espresso Roast. I drink one big cup every morning. I'm BF'ing and that much doesn't seem to bother DS. Once I'm done BF'ing I'll probably start drinking a bit more. I love coffee!

We get hershey's chocolate carmel creamer- It's SO good. I seriously look forward to that morning cup every morning.

Liz342 · September 2011

I am late to this post but I love it because I love coffee!!!

I drink 1 cup in the morning and 1 in the afternoon. I put whole milk and LOTS of sugar in it, that's why I limit it to just the 2 cups. The sugar has not been good to my teeth lately!

I just buy Folgers or Maxwell House- whichever is cheaper, I'm not picky.

I love Dunkin Donuts coffee when I'm out and I do not like all of the flavored stuff. I just like plain old coffee with cream and (extra!) sugar.

MrsBalletStar05 · September 2011

I've been trying not to, because while I *need* caffeine, I often over-do it and get a stomach ache :-( I have a hard time balancing drinking enough, but not too much.

Anyway, I just buy what is on sale. I got some small containers of folger's for 75cents last winter and am on my last one right now. I only drink one cup/large cup a day at the most. I love creamer, but it's just something extra to buy that I haven't so I've just been drinking it with sugar lately.
