I think there would be a riot in holland if you told people they had to bring their own coffee to work. Employers provide coffee over here, it's always crappy, but it's free and that's how the Dutch like their coffee 😉.

If you want special coffee you have to go somewhere else to get it.

Who knew there could be so many posts about iced coffee? I take my coffee based beverages seriously. I make my coffee at home and don't spend money on startbucks unless I have a gift card...but I'm cheap.

Morning! It's going to be a hot one today!
Re coffee: I like frapps the best this time of year. But iced macchiatos and lattes are good too on occasion. I don't like regular coffee
ETA: there are no DnDs here so I don't have that issue. We have Starbucks and Caribou for chains.

peachsmama, I have it all planned out for you: Bring your personal cup - 20-24 oz Give to sbux cashier and ask for a grande sub vanilla no ice iced coffee. Enjoy a 5¢ cup discount and a shit ton of delicious iced coffee.

I'm going to dinner with a friend tonight. She said she could come over to our house so MH didn't have to do bedtime alone. I was planning on doing that until MH started pissing me off by criticizing my parenting of M. Okay then, buddy. Good luck with putting both kids to bed.

My favorite was mocha cookie crumble a couple summers ago.

If you want special coffee you have to go somewhere else to get it. Yea we have a kuerig and they supply basic coffee and hot chocolate. I bought the stuff to make iced coffee with it but it sucked. Dunkin is $2.48 for what I get. I'll pay it for good coffee that I don't have to make.

Iced coffee is over priced, but at sbux I like their cold brew. I want to start making cold brew and keeping it in the fridge, or just buy it at the grocery store. I do like DD but the cream and sugar ratio is always tricky there for me. peachsmama I hope you pay her, stopping everyday would get $$! I have 3 sbux within a quarter mile of my office, but I typically just buy cream and use the Keurig.

If she won't let me, I make sure it balances out. I'll pick up lunch or buy her a coke and candy bar on a long day. And I give her free eggs.

I don't even like iced coffee. I want it hot or blended. I just happened to overhear a guy talking about the whole order a cup of ice thing the last time I was in there and I thought it was interesting.

Who knew there could be so many posts about iced coffee? That's what I was thinking. It is making my head spin. I don't think I can comprehend them unless I drink a pitcher of said coffee.

I can't navigate to the private board on Tapa. It's not showing up in my menu and I can't bring it up no matter how I search. Anyone else?

Isn't Tapa down today and tomorrow? I was able to get in this morning. I haven't tried recently though. They did say it was probably going to be an issue like last time though.

No thank you to iced coffee, or anything other than plain black with cream and sugar.
Morning! We are in the car hurtling north towards western SC. Bradley asked approximately 50x if we were there yet before we even hit the FL/GA line...it could be a looooong day.

Hi! I can't join in the coffee talks because I don't like coffee. Pepsi is my caffeine of choice. I do like a cappuccino from the gas station awful well! Maybe that should be a FFTC! Lol.
