It’s a struggle to get through the second half of the day.
I love coffee, but I’m not really a fan of specialty coffee drinks like frappuccinos or flavored lattes. I’m bored though and looking for ways to entertain myself. So today I tried making the latest internet trend, whipped coffee. I used some instant Cafe Bustelo that I keep on hand for baking.
I couldn’t get it to foam up as much as the pics in the recipe. I mixed it in a ramekin, it probably wasn’t deep enough to get a good whip going. Or maybe I just didn’t beat it long enough. I also cut back on the sugar because I don’t normally use any in my coffee and I’m not sure if that affected the outcome. It was pretty tasty though and killed about 15 minutes.
How do you take yours?
I like my coffee like I like my………………Black. I like my coffee black.
I prefer mine with cream, but I’d rather drink it black than use milk, or worse, a powdered creamer.
When I was a kid I used to just eat powdered creamer with a spoon. I’ve been known to do so as an adult as well.
We need to schedule your post pandemic exorcism. What days are best for you?
Coffee is a vehicle for cream/milk and sugar.
I usually make lattes with my Nespresso.
Mr. McGee has an entire system for coffee preparing and consuming. It’s exhausting and one needs coffee just to tackle it.
And drying the grounds afterwards!
It’s a whole situation!
It’s a pretty harmless but annoying quirk. Has he always done this?
This is relatively new behavior, last 4-ish months I’d say.
Hmmm, very strange.
I’m gonna have to part ways with Meg in this one, I’m afraid…I’m enough if a heathen to put sugar in mine…& how much tends to depend on the sort of day I’m having…but very much not au-lait, s’il vous plait…
also hot…hot is important…who has time for whisking & pouring anything more than once?
I’d rather have hot coffee than iced but every once in a while I like it on ice.
It’s like I don’t even know you.
Now that I can sleep in until 7:30 (Christ am I old), I don’t drink coffee for the duration of the whole work from home thing. But, when I eventually go back to commuting, I brew NM Pinon Coffee, put in some milk and just enough pure maple syrup (Hello Myo!) to give it a little flavor.
LOL what is with everyone and the maple syrup?? 🙂
I just ran out… Guess I’m syrup-less for the time being, seeing as how Maryland just issued a shelter-in-place order.
Syrup seems non-essential.
“Syrup seems non-essential.”
BLASPHEMER!
Take it up with the governor of MD.
I just can’t see maple with coffee.
The trick is not to use too much. For a standard sized coffee cup, I wouldn’t put more than a 1/2 teaspooon in there. Also, just for the sake of clarity, we’re talking about the real stuff, not that Log Cabin corn syrup bullshit. Trust me.
I would never use the fake stuff. But once I was making cookies and ran out of syrup,used extract. I’d forgotten the friend’s house I was going to was Canadian! I was very ashamed.
I like my coffee like my women, dark & bitter.
I usually take mine with a teaspoon of stevia or monkfruit sweetener.
When I want something fancier/sweeter, I go for a mocha, a wet cappuccino, or a cortado with honey.
Haven’t heard of cortado, I need to Google that.
What is a cortado?
I would like this very much!
Black, dammit. Just black. No, I don’t need space in my cup to add additional crap, barista. Fill it to the top. Yes, I realize from your confusion you don’t ever get this order. That’s because everyone else is a philistine, doubtlessly of low character and dubious morals. Pour the damn coffee NOW!
No, I’ve never had this exact conversation before at any Starbucks. Why do you ask?
