A confession ....

My name is Easy and I'm a Coffee SNOB!

I didn't want to admit it, but I think today I am strong enough to do so!
And I have to admit I am not just a coffee drinker - I am a COFFEE SNOB - I can no longer drink instant coffee.

I'm not sure when this happened, I guess it just snuck up on me, and now there is no turning back!!  Once upon a time I was happy with the occassional "International Roast" instant 'cuppa' with 1 sugar and milk.
Nowadays I will have nothing less than a latte with flavour please.

My favorite is a Caramel Latte.
The best one I've had was at TGIF (Thank God It's Friday).  Infact it was so good I had 2!  The reason I think they were so good, was the inch of caramel syrup down the bottom.. YUMMO
My date at the time was good too - especially since he paid for them!! *LOL*

This is how bad I have become ... the other day I was at friends house and she offered me a coffee.  Only problem is, she isn't a coffee drinker, I knew this, as I'd made the mistake once before of accepting her offer.  So even though I was dying for a coffee - I declined it and accepted a water instead.

I often wonder is this obsession because of the TV show FRIENDS?? 

I thought I was watching it for the comedy - but now I'm wondering if they had subliminal messages in the background.....
DRINK COFFEE... Drink coffee.... drink coffee..

Or maybe it is because there is a Starbucks on every corner, and if you blink and miss the Starbucks there is always a Hudsons or a Gloria Jeans even Miss Fields (Cookies) is making/selling lattes and the like now.

I guess that doesn't mean I have to drink a latte or a cappacino. But now that McDonalds have introduced the McCafe - I guess it's a case of You can't beat them so join them.


I've even started buying the Nescafe packet ones that go foamy/creamy on the top.  I've got the coffee machine I gave foty - which he left (Nice!). but that takes too long, and I can do good frothy milk - no flavour.


Am I the only coffee snob??

............ I'm E2S and I'm a Coffee-holic..

brb just grabbing a latte.!

My name is BootLady and I'm a latte junkie too. I'll spend $4.00 on a latte at least once a day - money I could have used to buy 3 or 4 regular (ACK!) coffees or oh, I dunno, put toward my children's education. Oops - I wasn't factoring in the gas it takes to drive to the latte shop (it's about 20 minutes from my house!) Okay, this is serious...but I don't need rehab...I'm fine! Seriously!

To me coffee is the elixir of life. It has to be rich and strong enough to make my toes curl.

I can't stand weak coffee. You know the "nervous" coffee brewers? They add just enough coffee to make the water a slight rusty color. Thats not coffee, thats more like nailing a coffee bean to a board and pouring water over it,yuck.

I happen to make a mean latte:)

I think if it's the one enjoyment you allow yourself in live, Drink Up!
Funny people don't care what coffee costs per gallon! My husband is a Starbucks junkie. I would be if I could drink coffee. I could drink it years ago now it throws me right into a panic attack, so I've had many years in recovery not by choice. The aroma kills me!

Ohhh you are such a bad infullence Easy, I have read a few times about you ducking off to have this caramel lattee at McDonalds, so today I thought well what the heck, might as well and go and see what all the fuss is about.

OHHHH MY GOD,

Roll on tomorrow so I can have another one.

Life is way too short to drink bad coffee so I choose where and when I drink it. There is so much bad coffee out there I don't understand why people tolerate it. So yes, I'm a coffee snob too.
