When I get up in the morning, I always look forward to my first cup of coffee in the morning. Usually, I do not get my first cup until I have my kids settled down at the table for breakfast. I only allow myself one cup a day so I make sure it is just the way I like it!!! I make my cup of javva in the morning with my espresso machine, I first grind my coffee beans(no brand in particular,usually something with hazelnut flavor) and make my coffee and steam my milk.In addition to my hot milk, I add a couple teaspoons of sugar,a spoonful of chocolate syrup with lots of foam to my morning latte'. It's not as good as Starbucks but it does the trick!!
Tell me about your first cup of the day. Is yours tea, coffe or juice? If it is coffee, do you make it at home or do you pick up a latte' on your way to work?

I usually have my cafftiere loaded and ready in the morning. I have some wonderful pure Colombian coffee I was given at Christmas so that is a bit special as a treat for me in the morning. I really enjoy that first cup in the mornings, when I can sit at drink it in peace.

It is nice when you can sit and enjoy your cup of coffee at the beginning of your day. I imagine that the columbian coffee you got as a gift is delicious!! Enjoy!!

It depends on my end. A cup of coffe, a cup of tea or a cup of Hot Chocolate. When I have time I drop by at a 24 hour store close to our Apartment and I get Hot Mocha, a Cappucino or a cup of Latte Macchiatto.

During the day ,especially if it is cold I love to have a cup of hot tea or sometimes hot chocolate. But for me mornings are for coffee!!

I love my morning Java! I use our coffee pot, already ground regular coffee. I use one sweet and low per cup and consume 2 cups, sometimes 3 :)

Oh your coffees sound really good! I make my coffee at home or else I would never have the energy to even leave the house. I make Starbucks and like my java black and sweet!

I love my coffee in the morning. I grind up the beans, and make a fresh pot, so that I can have 3 or more large mug fulls. I like it with flavored creamora. I use Milstone Columbia, and it is so good. I work at home, so it sets right down with me at the computer.

I set the timer on my coffee maker to make my coffee right before I get up in the morning. I love that smell whe I wake up. I like it with a lot of cream and like four or five sugars in it. I like fancy coffee once in a while, but my favorite is what I make at home.
