Why not buy the very cool IT ILLY espresso maker in a great color and do it yourself at home. Put your savings in a college fund or better yet, you’d make a great “barista~”

I was a total tea drinker until the office started brewing Peet’s, and since Peet’s has no mild brew, I was an instant caffeine junky. It’s sort of a relief to taste DD’s mild sweetness when I’m on the east coast, but all-in-all the ever smoooooth Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf rocks, but only when they aren’t screwing up my order – that’s a morning buzz-kill. (ex-boy works at Peet’s home office, Sunday mornings I sneak in and they have a full barista set-up with all the syrups and flavors. It’s a half hour of good fun.)

Hey I was a chi-o too like Mother IT And sadly I was in college in the 90s and we also had male “busboys” that did our dishes.

Ok so my opinions on java. McD’s lattes are too sugary for me but work in a pinch. Starbucks is predictably good and you can have it like you want it. Their beans sometimes taste over-roasted to me but it’s ok because I like my coffee stiff. I prefer making my own with a coffee press and espresso beans from Dean and DeLuca or getting mine from one of the local coffee joints – actually a place called Cognizent Coffee close to my house has DIVINE coffee – perfectly roasted. I also like Seattle’s Best – but alas we also only have those in select Borders stores and I don’t even know what the Choc Full O Nuts place is…I know – us midwesterners…

I make 4 cups every morning with Stew’s hazelnut mixed with a columbian using my farberware perculator. So yummy. “Don’t talk to me till I’ve had my coffee”
This was actually the first gift on a magnet that my husband (then boyfriend) gave me. Boy did he know me.

I also love dunkin’ donuts. I think Starbuck’s is too bitter for me but it’s the only cool place in our town so I go there often. I have had seattle’s best but only in airports as well. I do like it though.

My hubby drinks it black and his story is that somebody dared him and then he got used to it.

I am a light and sweet kind of girl. Now with skim plus, fat free half and half, and a splenda I can still do this realatively low calorie.

Now I am in the mood for a great cup of coffee.
