Coffee... It's My One True Love

[higher 966]

Counter culture...Toby's estate....blue bottle...stumptown. I stick to the best stuff, drink it black and savor it at a great cafe.

I used Stumptown this morning! Have you ever tried Poverty Bay? So good....

No never heard of it!

I was served Decaf coffee in the hospital! Stayed on decaf for a few weeks then went back to my fav: Peets French Roast (black). Haven't had the slightest problem.

I came to the conclusion that there was no 1 right answer so I waited 2 weeks after surgery to ride the java train and 1.5 months for the booze (I don't drink often). Not saying I would advise the same, but I am only 2 months out and all is good.

Don't sleep on the single origin Beans from La Colombo. Todd Carmichael (Dangerous Grounds on Discovery) is a goofball, but the man roasts amazing beans.

Seriously if you can find a bag of Geisha varietal that will change your life. I promise.

I am a huge coffee fiend, myself! My doctor told me that I couldn't have any coffee for a month after surgery because of the acidity, and I did follow his instructions. After that month passed, though...right back on the coffee!

I usually have either a skinny latte or Americano with a shot of sugar free Syrup when I go to Costa or Starbucks. Most of the time before I leave for work or when I'm at home, I use my Nespresso machine and pour the shot of coffee with a bit of sugar free syrup and a splash of unsweetened roasted almond milk over ice. Investing in some sugar-free syrups off of Amazon and getting a Nespresso machine has saved my hubby and I a TON of money.

I love my nespresso machines! I have one in office and one home. It is definitely saved me from Starbucks expenses. I also used the Decaf when off coffee and being able to have small coffee is ideal since take so long to drink sometimes!

I broke out my Burundi Beans and my Aeropress this morning. I cannot tell you how magical that was... The Dilaudid probably enhanced it, but twonsips finally broke the "my bowels are taking a long siesta" thing and now, finally, I feel human.

I knew my coffee would make all the difference in my recovery.
