Thought we'd talk coffee for a while...

Oh man, it's good to see that I am not alone. I work at a desk all day and usually have 3-4 cups of Joe per day with skim milk and a couple equals. I try to balance it out with some non-caffeinated drinks but really love my coffee!! I find it hard to pass a Dunkin Donuts... At least I don't get donuts or cookies any more while there!!

I also love my Keurig and now buy the Dunkin K-Cups!

Geesh, although this talk of coffee just reminded me of something... My coffee cup is empty!! Have a great caffeinated day!!

I know it's hard for you in the Northeast to understand, but we do not have Dunkin' Donuts in any quantity here. In fact the entire Houston metro may have two. A far cry from my last trip to Pennsylvania/Ohio where there was one on every corner, much like Starbucks is here. I grew up on Dunkin Donuts both the coffee and the chocolate cake donuts and would kill for either one, so it's best if you don't get between me and the DD door.

Too Funny. I can't imagine a drive down the road without passing at least three or four DD's. How barbaric it must be in your neck of the woods!! Just Kidding. I wish they weren't so easily accessible to me!!

We're hoping that Houston gets running water later this year!

This is actually an odd donut area, in my opinion. The city is loaded with small independent mom and pop donut shops. We have only one large chain of donut shops and it has no focus on coffee at all. In fact, it would not be a stretch to say their coffee is among the worst available in the city, and probably is not good enough to be sold in most convenience stores. Untill recently, the best alternative to Starbucks for good brewed coffee was the convenience store chain owned by Exxon called Tiger Mart. They were serving Green Mountain coffees. However, the chain was recently sold to a local chain of convenience store and rebranded resulting in a change to the coffee bar that has driven me away.

I get free starbuck's coffee in the hospital doctor's lounge, so a vendi half caf half decaf daily.
they have a machine that grinds it and brews it in seconds while I try to ignore the free donuts and eggs/bacon, and omlet bar.

Any questions as to how I gained weight in the first place? - 20 years of FREE FOOD.
any way..i digress....


I like my coffee like I like my women ... black, not too sweet, and hot!

 This whole thread has me LMAO!  I recently gave up the joe because I can't stand my Dunkin Donuts coffee without cream and sugar. Hot in the morning and iced in the afternoon, never decaf unless my daughter (DD employee) gets it for me after 8PM. I know once I start back up it will be a landslide back to my old habits... no such thing a "just one". Staying out of the place also keeps me away from my lazy breakfast of a sandwich or muffin...     :-(

Hi All,
Like most have mentioned, I love this thread!! I live in New England and have been drinking Dunkin Donuts Coffee (Along w/ their evil Donuts Pre Op) since I was a kid.

I like Iced Coffe w/ a couple of Splenda w/ 1/2 cream and 1/2 skim milk. I usually have a couple a day. Honestly, I could drink them all day, but know it is a poor choice. If DD is not available I also a have a Keurig at home which is the best invention since the wheel in my opinion.

In any event, like everything else post op diet related I try to remember the key which is MODERATION!!!

Now I am gonna go make a cup of joe!


I

FREE DD and 7-11 coffee, I try to limit it to 1 cup a day.....pre-op i was drinking it all day
