Today's Topic: Morning beverage

Sitting here staring at my now-empty coffee cup got me thinking - what’s your morning beverage? Coffee, tea, water, fruit juice, soft drink? How do you take it? What is its importance to you?

    I’m a coffee person. It’s not a dependency; I have one cup and that’s it. It’s more about the ritual to start the day. I used Kona beans, grind them each day, use filtered water, brew at a specific temperature - all the things coffee snobs say to do. I’m not TOO much of a snob, but I’m trying to make that one cup as good as it can be.

    And it gets two Splenda and one tablespoon of real cream.

    Coffee done; now it’s time to walk! 😊

    I brew a 12 cup drip. Good French roast, and NO additives.

    Coffee. Black and unsweetened. On a rare occasion, an energy drink of some sort.

    English Breakfast Tea, black. Sometimes Earl Grey. (Hot.) 😊

    Before dairy allergy, I added a good glug of whole milk -- never skim.
    Normally use pre-bagged tea, but occasionally I use loose leaf.

    I have an electric tea kettle, and I much prefer the flavor I get with it versus microwaving the water. And it's much faster than a stove- top kettle.

    Tea for me. I prefer a heavier tea in the morning, something with some bite along the lines of a British breakfast tea.

    Coffee, Dunkin' Donuts when possible. One large travel mug full. I'll often finish off a can of soda that I left overnight as well (to take my meds and have a sip of something after I run in the morning).

    I grew up about 10 miles from Dunkin' headquarters. I like the coffee, but it seems to me it loses flavor as soon as the temperature of the coffee drops by twenty or so degrees. Anyone else find that?

    I'm a New Englander, and HATE DD coffee. McDonalds is usually ok. Prefer a strong, rich roast.

    Black coffee. Importance? I’m addicted to caffeine.
