Starting Your Day with the Perfect Cup of Coffee

I admit, I’m a coffee drinker. I feel like I can’t start my day without a good cup of coffee. No coffee? Watch out, I can be cranky until I get one. Sorry, not sorry…just the way that it is!

With that said, I’m picky about the coffee that I drink. I don’t like bitter tasting coffee. I don’t like it to be old or stale, the fresher the better. I’m also not a big fan of brewing it from those modern day pods. I still like to measure out my grounds, toss them into the filter and hit brew on my coffee brewing machine. I’ll typically brew a half pot every morning.

What kind’s of things do I add to it? I enjoy flavored coffee creamers. I like using a breakfast blend or medium bodied coffee and then adding flavored coffee creamers to it. Sure, I could buy flavored coffee but I just prefer to add the flavor by using a creamer. When it comes to sweetener I use a sugar alternative or organic honey.

After 3 in the afternoon I don’t drink any coffee that contains caffeine. If I feel the need to drink a cup of coffee, I switch over to decafe during the later afternoon and evening hours. I don’t need it interrupting my beauty sleep. A lot of times I’ll drink a good decaf just black during the early evening hours.

How do you like your coffee? What’s your brewing routine? Tell me what you like and dislike.
