Coffee

not really a coffee post but here goes anyway-
i stopped by target today at lunch to pick up the new christmas candy cane tic tacs.  they're pretty cool looking.  white with tiny candy canes printed on them.



so i went to the christmas candy section and found them.  i looked at them and decided just to buy the whole box @ $1.00 per container.
i didn't take the time to count how many containers were in the box, seemed like about 12 or 16. 

so i went through the self-check out and rang myself up but really kind sleepwalked through the process because #mondays.
the total was $16 and some change.  but if i bought 16 @ $1.00 then crap, because i also bought a pound of great northern dried beans and some chicken broth. so $16 and some change wouldn't have been enough and now i'm a felon for stealing from target.

then i was walking to my car and thought to myself, hmm- how many tic tacs were in the box.
picked up my speed and rushed to my car, immediately checked how many tic tacs were in the box.
you guessed it- 12.  feels great.  another christmas miracle for clams.

Did you ever think maybe someone else would like the opportunity to buy some of those tic/tac"s you hog.

w/ some of this limited edition christmas candy i have to approach it as a "dog eat dog" scenario.  that being said, they had 2 more boxes on the shelf and untold boxes in some storage area in the back of the store i'm sure.

A coffee snob friend of mine told me he really liked the Starbucks Via Ready Brew^TM.  But he didn't like that they were like $1/8 oz.

i buy (and consume) the vias.  usually the colombians.  pretty good for an instant (i think, haven't really compared to many other instants).  they're like $15 for 25 at costco.

Awesome, I feel totally validated.  I drink them when I'm camping or backpacking.  Sometimes I'll mix with a bag of hot chocolate.  I buy them off Amazon but I think I paid more than that Costco deal.

Just started drinking coffee regularly.  Mostly for social reasons, I enjoy coffee banter at work.  The other morning I made a joke about needing a coffee IV and it went over pretty well.  Thinking of spending some of my Christmas money on a coffee mug for work.  Should I get the one that says "Coffee keeps me going until it is acceptable to drink beer" or the one that says "Obsessive Coffee Disorder"?

That all sounds great

The one where the coffee mug is a replica toilet is the best. Imagine the "brown water" jokes, or the "this stuff goes right through me" lines.

Here's a free one: "This coffee tastes like crap."

ALRIGHT GUYS, I done changed the game and got an espresso maker at home. It is very frustrating and difficult. Anyone else have one? Pro tips?

[Canary]

I hardly ever make coffee at home. For me going out to get coffee is a simple pleasure. Sometimes with others and often by myself.

I find it to be pretty enjoyable. Early morning coffee and quiet.

i'm still off the caffeine, it's been over a decade.  still work as efficiently as ever.  no more/less tired than my coworkers. 

caffeine, the made up drug.

I definitely don't do it for the caffeine. It's a nice side effect, but really just enjoy the flavor and process.

I understand that. I usually don't take the time at my house before work for coffee. I know how great that is, but I don't take the time.

I suck at waking up early, so it doesn't happen a ton, but when it does it sets a good tone for the day. It's really only like 30 more minutes in the morning, but it makes a huge difference.

to answer your question, we bought a Nespresso.  definitely cheating but pud to use.

Same here. I get up in time to shower and shave and dress for work. Out the door by about 6:30. Not early, but not always easy for me.

I got a Kurig 2.0 with the carafe. Mainly because I know someone with cases and cases of Kurig 2.0 coffee and they give it to me free. Probably enough for at least the next year.

Would love to know what it's like to hang out with Danny and George. Jealous.

So much wrong with this post.
