Today Is The Day.

I haven 't tasted a cup of coffee in almost three years and l have decided to have a cup today. Why today? - because l was considering returning to my one cup a day regime for some time now, but kept putting it off - and today being National Coffee Day influenced my decision. What is your preference ? - café' latte, coffee black, hot, cold, with sugar and cream? What are your favorite brands? I prefer percolated coffee with sugar and milk - l never take it black.

Herbal teas will remain my main beverage, but l will have a cup of coffee and a cinnamon roll or a slice of cake , maybe once or twice a week.

@Kandae11 I understand. You have to have the sweet cake or roll to kill the taste of the coffee.

@DaddyEvil. I take my coffee with a teaspoon of sugar and milk so there is no bitter taste. I could never have it without.

@Kandae11 do all those things raise blood pressure?

@shaggin. If it is already slightly raised , certain foods and drinks will take it higher. Also too much sugar and salt.

Three years ago my pressure was on the rise , so l stopped drinking coffee and gave up a few other things l love - like milk chocolate , icecream and milkshakes. I haven't tasted those in years either.

@Kandae11 I do not drink coffee so have no favorite brand. If you asked me about Pepsi or Cola I could answer the question. Since you have not had coffee in a long time how will it be to go back to one cup a day?

@Hannihar l have a strong resistance to anything which l feel might be damaging to my health. Three years ago when l found out my cholesterol was high and my pressure was on the rise l stopped drinking coffee immediately . l also gave up other things l love like icecream , milkshakes, milk chocolate. I haven't tasted those in years.

I plan on having it in moderation - like twice or thrice a week. I will designate certain days and have it with a snack l do not normally indulge in - like a cookie or very small slice of cake. That means l will be having 1 cup of coffee (decaf) 2 or 3 times per week.

Oh my gosh I am so happy to celebrate this day with you Kandase!!

Exactly what brand did you have? I have switched to mild Nescafe decaf instant..it is fine and tasty but not my first choice..I prefer the pour over dark coffee grounds..but they are too strong for me at this time..maybe eventually I can go back. And of course I only have lactose free half and half with my coffee, no sugar now. But years ago sugar as well.

It was so coincidental that Snowy mentioned Chock Full Of Nuts with chicory And the coffee l am having today - after 3 years is a local brand with chicory . l prefer coffee with chicory because it has health benefits.

The creamer gives it a really smooth taste. I will be very moderate in how much l drink. I will choose three days in the week, and on those days l will have just one cup decaf with my favorite snack.

Welcome back to drinking coffee! I used to get drip coffee, Folgers or Maxwell, but whew, expensive! Now I use my coffee maker for hot water cleaning sinks with vinegar and baking soda and killing weeds adding salt to the hot water. I drink instant packets of Folgers or Cafe Au Lait, a nice creamy taste but half the sugar.

I am not a coffee or tea person. I take them occasionally and mostly to give company. When I have it, I have it with milk and little sugar. I can't have it black, too bitter for me and I feel like throwing up.
