Bring on the coffee!

bumpuser9353653 · December 2014

It's been a rough weekend with a baby with a chest cold. So I've been drinking all the coffee.

What's in your cup today?

Guennie · December 2014

Yaaay I finally have a pic! Publix organic Columbian again. @rugbymama‌ I hope your baby gets better soon! We just got over our junk here, we've all been sick for weeks.

Guennie · December 2014

Ugh. Forgot pic.

PB&J714 · December 2014

Homemade mocha this morning in my favorite travel mug! (Green Mountain breakfast blend with Swiss Miss...mmm.)

And TB won't let me upload a pic, so you can just imagine the awesomeness of a tervis tumbler with the periodic table of dogs. Hehe.

I have a homemade mocha too (decaf...not a surprise). My Contigo cups are all in the dishwasher so it's in a reusable Starbucks cup with a cup cozy my friend made.

ETA: I tried loading the pic right side up, sideways or upside down, but it still loads sideways. What the heck?!

@rugbymama‌, hope your LO feels better soon!

I woke up this morning with the worst craving for a soda. I had finally kicked the habit and hadn't had any pop in a long time, but I decided 8:30 AM on a Monday is a good time to revive the addiction.

Hearing you call soda "pop" reminds me of my first time in Chicago and the coldest weather I have ever experienced! Now I'm thinking about Caribou Coffee too. Yum. Also, the stockings and lights in the background are pretty!

ETA: ever, ever experienced for my fellow TSwift fans.

My favorite time of the day-- when everyone is napping and I'm sitting here with my laptop and my plain old black donut shop coffee

sarenu1 · December 2014

Kona with vanilla soy and raw sugar.

I love that cup cozy! But doesn't it prevent you from feeling the nice warmth from the coffee on your hands?

Mandmeesh · December 2014

I'm doing espresso Christmas blend this morning in my reusable Starbucks cup.
It's interesting how pregnancy changes my tastes. I've let my second cup go cold

. And microwaved coffee is the devil's work

As you know, the cups are on the thinner side so I always used a sleeve. The warmth comes through the cozy @ just the right temp for me.

What do you think of that mug? I keep seeing them, but they seem a bit flimsy compared to a metal or plastic one.

1st cup today was a McCate Kcup (yeah...I know...)

2nd cup was Seattles Best hazelnut Kcup. Yummy.

Now sipping a cup of Yogi brand Stress Reducer tea, because...teething toddler.

Quote fail. @Kelly11235‌, the Starbucks cup is flimsy but for $1, it's a good cup. Also, I worked at Starbucks many moons ago, and it literally changed my life so I like being able to represent LOL.

TJ1979 · December 2014

I JUST NOW got the decaf no surprise comment. Perhaps I need another cup.

nanabanana06 · December 2014

All my cups are white.

However, I'm enjoying a cappucino from my new espresso machine. So yummy.

PB&J714 · December 2014

Oooh @nanabanana06, what espresso machine did you get? I'm on the hunt for one, but don't really know what I'm looking for.

It's a simple DeLonghi machine. Dad got it for me for Christmas and it's pretty nice.

Has anyone had teeccino? It's herbal coffee that tastes like real coffee, is low acid, and is caffiene free. I don't kkow if it normally comes in a teabag, but the samples I had did. They also had flavors. I need to find somewhere that sells it now.

I've had something similar called Cafix. I bought it at Sprouts (not sure if they're a national chain) but amazon sells teeccino and Cafix. I don't remember it being this pricey though.

Did you check the ingredients? I feel like my BFF was really into that for awhile, but stopped when she started TTC because of something it contained. I could be wrong, but I think that's the stuff.

I googled and everything said it was a great choice for pregnant women. I don't remember where I looked tho. I think on the site?

Maybe it was a different coffee alternative, then. It was awhile ago.

Nice! I'll look into that brand. Keeping it simple is probably best for my first espresso machine.

CLLDLL · December 2014

Regarding teeccino, @stoneycakes it might have been she quit drinking it because it has certain types of tea in it. Supposedly green tea and I forget what else, can cause uterine contractions. Probably not a huge deal if you don't have a history of m/c, but some OBs/REs recommend not drinking certain teas during your LP if prone to m/c.

But it's not tea.
Here's the ingredients for the french roast
Ingredients: Roasted organic carob, organic barley, organic chicory, organic ramon seeds, natural coffee flavor.

May contain trace amounts of almonds.

Interesting. It sounds yummy.

redrockmama · December 2014

@Mandmeesh‌ I hated coffee when I was pregnant, it made so feel so icky, so weird.

Someone remind about mexican coffee. @TJ1979‌ you get it, right? Is it just cinnamon?

Yeah I think so.

Bring on the coffee!
