What’s your poison?

I always start my day with a cup of coffee. Nothing fancy at all. I prefer the 3-in-1 sachet now. Just pour hot water in and you’re good to go. It is also one of the most saleable items in my store especially in the morning. Looks like my neighbors are coffee drinkers too. Then I saw a friend complaining on Facebook about how expensive Starbucks’ coffee are now. A long time ago, I splurge in Starbucks’ fancy frothy coffees and yummy looking sweets. I used to tell myself it’s worth the hefty price and I work hard so why not treat myself to something delicious. Lol They have these nice sounding coffee concoctions that I don’t really know. Then I saw this useful, helpful photo. Let me know if it’s accurate or not. But really, Vietnamese coffee is like that?

Not a regular coffee drinker but we have this small machine the makes espresso coffee using special coffee pods. Its just a bit pricey buying them so we used them occasionally. With it you can experiment on making froth and enjoy your coffee like that in starbucks or UCC.

Cola is my poisen, I try not to drink it, but since it is always here so . . it is better just to drink water. Coffee on the other hand is good for my health, I did research and for small liver problems, the caffine does the trick. Now to stay away from the fizzy drinks. . .

I prefer McDonald’s coffee over any of the coffee shops I’ve been to. However I have never had a Starbucks coffee. Way to expensive for me. I like to brew mine at home. Today I had a tiny amount of chocolate syrup left in a bottle so rather then just toss it out I dumped my hot coffee in it shook it up and then poured it all into my thermos. So tasty!
