THOUGHT-PROVOKING, MIND-PRODDING QUESTION OF THE DAY:
How do you like your coffee?
I like mine dark. I love experimenting with different flavors, too, like Pumpkin Spice or Hazelnut.
Have any new suggestions for me? Any special tips on how to brew the perfect cup?
Ritergurl says
Oh, my Word! I must try this! Thanks for the recipe!
Kerri Randall says
I take mine black (and it took baby steps over a year or so to get there!). I like flavors, too. Just had a pumpkin spice one yesterday and it was awesome! Which reminds me, I should check into Door County coffees to brew at home again. They’ve got a bazillion flavors and I think pumpkin spice was one of them!

I love pumpkin spice! I tried it for the first time this year, and it is so good!! I wish they sold it all year round!
Maryea @ Happy Healthy Mama says

Brittany @ Itty Bits of Balance says
I HAVE THAT TIGGER MUG!!!!!
Okay, national coffee day, SERIOUSLY? You just gave me all the reason in the world to go brew myself a cup 🙂
spoonfulofsugarfree says
Really? I love the mug so much! It’s HUGE and I use it for everything 😀
Katie@ KatieDid says
I like mine with a bit of cream or half and half, brewed extra strong. Piping hot or iced. Everyday for the past…. 4 years? I love coffee! If you shake in some cinnamon into the grinds before brewing it, it gives it a wonderful subtle aroma and taste.
spoonfulofsugarfree says
That is a brilliant idea! I love the flavors of cinnamon and nutmeg with coffee, but I don’t like putting it in there because it gets too grainy…
IHeartVegetables says
YAY!!! I didn’t know it was coffee day but now I’m super excited!
Healthy Teen on a Mission says

Isabelle@cheesymiteapples says
I love Long Blacks best especially before workouts to get my heart rate up!
kathleen says
Coffee granola is just about the best idea I’ve heard in a very long time. Since sliced bread, the wheel etc. Coffee + breakfast together. Yes please!
Kaila @healthyhelperblog! says
Just started liking coffee this year! So I was actually able to celebrate today!

Oats n' Bows says
Love the mug <3 I used to work in Disney World so I saw those bad boys every day.
I like my coffee iced with lactaid milk, 1 packet of stevia, and a sprinkle of pumpkin spice.
Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga says
I love coffee in most any form!
I have posts on making ice coffee. A KISS recipe. Some ppl seem to think it’s hard or complicate matters but it’s really…umm…basic 🙂
I love flavored creamers, too. Girl I post about coffee so much that I have to consciously NOT post about it. ha!
Shannon says
Yum, I love coffee! I also like my coffee dark and without any sugar or milk. I love coffee flavored chocolate to! 😀
Sarah @ The Smart Kitchen says
I don’t know how I missed this…but I definitely celebrate coffee EVERY day. 😉
