Thursday Morning Drinking Thread

Submitted by Optimism Attache on July 2nd, 2015 at 5:34 AM

As we near what I hope is a long weekend for most readers, it's time to pause and consider the world of beverages that get us moving in the morning. For many, it is a typical cup of drip coffee. Others might look to a vodka and OJ to usher them into a patriotic weekend.

My new obsession is nitro coffee. I wouldn't say I am a coffee snob, but a couple local shops have taken to making iced coffee infused with cream and nitrogen (also some CO2). My god it tastes like caffeine Guinness. But at $5 a pop it is about as expensive as a beer, so remains a rare treat.

What's in your cup?

Worked 12 days in a row and 14 shifts in those 12 days so I figured when I got off work this morning that I would try those cap'n crunch delights since today's the first day they're selling em. Usually I'm a subway breakfast guy

I love nitro coffe. Had some for the first time down in NOLA. Can't get it near me, so I'm stuck with Kcups. For now.

for a gas station, they brew an excellent dark roast, and you can't beat a $1.06 for the equivalent of three cups.

french press with a little bit of real cream and some sweetner as I sit on my lounge chair on Kailua beach, enjoying the gentle breeze coming in off the ocean.

Well, that's my day dream anyway. I usually do Starbucks out of a Jura Capresso sitting in my kitchen. reading the paper on my phone.

Nitro coffee? So basically, they put air in your coffee and charge you $5 for it?

Well, technically it is two of the components of air, but ....nevermind. Yes, but try it!

Strawberry smoothie after my morning run. 8 oz milk, 2 tbs vanilla Greek yogurt, 1 cup frozen strawberries, 1 scoop protein powder. Blend for 30 seconds. It is great for muscle recovery.

I started the day with a nice cup of Folgers 100% Columian. Currently working on a glass of water at work while I write 3 protocols, analyze data and prepare a client report. Probably switch to tea or soda for lunch, then back to water until I get off work.
