It’s cold (for CA) and a little rainy and I’m tired and I feel like coffee.
It should be noted that I am not a habitual coffee drinker. I don’t drink it every day, and haven’t drank much of it in my life. When I drink coffee, it is for the punch in the face. It tastes bad, it’s not pleasant, and it somehow makes me feel better. Like…life isn’t as bad as this terrible cup of coffee.
But today I had to go out because I was out of K-Cup things, and decided I’d just get a professional coffee. I’ve never gotten a straight coffee from an establishment (being that i have never been a coffee drinker). I didn’t really know what to say, so I got a mocha.
A decaf mocha with oatmilk, to be precise. Yes, I know some of you are groaning.
And you know what? It tastes too good. It’s pleasant. It’s not a punch in the face at all. I actually *want* to drink it. So that is terrible, because now I’m still just cold and tired and grumpy, and no one is punching me in the face to get me out of it. Clealy I just need to punch myself in the face. It is my only option.
How do you order coffee when you go out?
I myself LOVE coffee, but it doesn’t love me back. 🙁 When I do partake, I get a mocha with full milk. 🙂
I always ask the barista what the most disgustingly-sweet seasonal drink they have is. I order that, because black coffee tastes like skunk.
I hate coffee, love the smell though. All I can think is, that’s the sexiest thing I’ve read in two weeks. Can’t punch you in the face, but can leave some random lego on the floor for ya.
I’m a tea drinker at home, I drink a couple small pots of black tea every morning. If I have to be somewhere, and don’t have time for my usual, I grab a 5 shot extra large dirty chai with either soy or oatmilk. Spicy, strong, and unapologetic. Boy howdy that’s a definite punch in the face for me! Gives me the pep in my step to power through whatever got me out of the house before my usual routine could be observed, and the crash later in the day makes me question my life choices.
HA! I love coffee. Taste, smell, punch in the face or not. I’ve drank it now for about half my life. I generally don’t buy coffee from out and about, but if I order something from a coffee joint or cafe, I generally go boring and get black coffee with room for creamer. If I feel fancy, I get a hot caramel macchiato. Enjoy your coffee! Punch in the face or no 😉
I get a coconut mocha with extra coconut!
Dont stand in my way between my first 2 cups of morning coffee, just black with a punch of creatine powder – !!
That’s the only caffeine punch of the day and my lifestyle hit in one !
I get a venti iced apple crisp oatmilk shaken espresso, decaf. But I also learned how to make it at home! So good.
Since retiring Starbucks is a treat, always double short vanilla breve latte
