my favorite home brew is a Green Mountain Coffee Co. Sumatran reserve. it's a darker medium roast. runs about $8-9/lb. I buy whole beans and grind what I need. sent from my electronic distraction

We buy La Colombe or Counter Culture beans. We might "win" on price per 12 ounces. :-\

I usually buy the big tub of Folger's Black Silk when it's on sale. I love the black silk, too...but usually end up settling for store brand dark roast if they have it.
I also love my french press. To me, it makes a far superior cup of coffee (even with the flavored creamer i add obscuring the actual flavor of the coffee). But, it's more labor intensive than i really have time for on work days.

I'm downing a frappe right now. Didn't want the calories, but hope it has enough caffeine to knock back this migraine. where is the caffeine coming from?? I don't think I could drink one of those this early in the day.....too damn sweet! There's some coffee in there, though I am not sure how much. It didn't help. But it sure did taste good!

LOL! I'm like you thyme - I like a little coffee with my cream and sugar Dunkin Donuts Coffee Coolata and the Wawa iced coffees are the only coffees I can drink - probably because they have a shit ton of milk and sugar in them.

I don't think of ice cream shops for frappes. what you described is a milkshake to me.
frappes/frappucinos in my part of town equals frozen blended coffee drink.

Lol. It's a McDonalds frappe....from their site.... "Made with irresistibly rich chocolate flavor and a hint of coffee blended with ice, topped with whipped cream and a chocolate drizzle." I doubt there is actually much caffeine in it, but that was the excuse I was using this morning. . It's kind of like a Starbucks frappuccino....

From Wiki: There, the ice cream people are correct in New England, the coffee people are correct in the rest of the US.

Do you put cream and sugar in it? I put so much creamer in it, I probably should just have a glass of milk. Do they sell milk with 100 mg of caffeine in it? Yes, it's called a breve latte :-) Pure Heaven!!! You can make my coffee anytime. I like it super light - the more 1/2 & 1/2, the better

a frappe has ice cream and a milkshake does not. it can have other thickeners added, but no ice cream. @monkeyunderpants - if I really wanted to confuse people, I'd ask how your cabinet or Awful Awful was.

No, milkshakes have ice cream. No other thickeners. A frappe is a milkshake in the Boston metro area.

I am a born and raised new englander and didn't know the difference. I had to look up Awful Awful...had no idea what it was. Maybe I am just not a good new englander...
And as far as I'm concerned, a cabinet are the things in my kitchen/bathroom where I store stuff!
my biggest new englandism is in my pronunciation of aunt. I don't pronounce it "ant".

Also, I hate coffee. But I will drink a coffe shake, or latte. God caused Diet Pepsi to be created because He knew that I need caffeine and can't stand coffee. This raises a further issue. Can diet sodas be considered " food " ? I think not.

Very hard to give that up when pregnant. Now, I try to limit myself to only one a day. (A big 24 oz one, but just one!). I got one at the hospital right after I gave birth, I missed it that much!!!
