How do you take your coffee?

[Former_Member]

So i am just curious how does everyone take there coffee? I think i over do it on the creamer sometimes..... coffee mate french vanilla goes a little too fast in my household.... How about you?

That is exacly what I use, a big box from Costco. That usually last me and only me in my household about 2 months.

We go through a lot of half and half. I buy two cartons every time I go food shopping which is way too often.

Now that I have my aerobie coffee maker, I don't need as much cream to soften the acidity, so now I just use a little lowfat milk in my coffee.

I had never heard of the aerobie and just looked it up. Very interesting. I might have to get one. Where would you buy one?

I got mine thru Amazon for about $27, but during Christmas I saw that True Value Hardware had them for $25. On Amazon one got extra filters. You can use the filters over and over, and they are just a small paper disk, so waste is very minimal.

Thanks so much! I am going to check this out. I appreciate you letting me know.

I am pretty sure you will love it if you get one.
I gave my sister and BIL one and they are crazy about it.
My sister also used to want sugar in her coffee and now doesn't need it with coffee made with the Aerobie!

I am going to order one for my son and one for me. He is also a coffee drinker and usually uses a french press. I changed my little picture to represent my work BUT it's still me!

lol I hear ya.... Sometimes i will make a pot of coffee half way through the day and say to myself.
"I think i'm just gonna have coffee instead of lunch". (yeah right)!

Ha ha!
I am limiting myself to one cup in the morning and sometimes a decaf with milk in the evening.
I swear the Folgers makes me jittery and the Starbucks doesn't!

I like my coffee with fun flavored creamers or lots of half and half and sugar. However when I worked in a coffee shop it was a cafe au lait with one shot of vanilla syrup and steamed half and half, I miss those free fancy drinks.

Welcome to the Team Paint!

It is a coffee breakthrough in the ongoing saga of adjusting to Folgers...
today I read the package (gasp) and it suggested one T. of coffee for a single cup.
The Aerobie coffee making suggests two, so I had been doing that because that was the tastiest with the S-bucks coffee.
Today I am having 1 T. of Folgers and it is much better!
Of course, the fluffed-up milk I poured on top is helping too!

[HowCuteAreYou]

It's all a matter of adjusting. I am still debating about the Aerobie. How many coffee gadgets do I need?
Ques. Does this team want an area where we can post our listings? I have a new mug cozy and a little felted bowl I am excited about.
I love seeing other people work. Let me know, and we can start a new thread.
