SGF and I met at work after I joined the trading department of a Boston bank in the '90s. One of my very earliest memories of her - way before we had even gone on a date - was of this tall, attractive and serious looking brunette carrying a very large cup of Peet's coffee into our morning traders meeting.

So you remember just the woman and the coffee then? [emoji14]

My combination of two teas to create a berry mate blend: Tiesta Mate with their "Blueberry Wild Child" blend.

I enjoy experimenting with small batch and import specialties I find at Earth Fare and Whole Foods but most of the time I'm just the plain old basic coffee and creamer.
Currently Folgers Breakfast Blend Mild with Hazelnut creamer. I'm not a coffee snob.... in the winter I like to make mine a mocha but dumping 2 or 3 tablespoons of Nestle's hot cocoa mix into my coffee. the sweet sugar kick does as much for me as the caffeine :p

I bounce between a Starbucks blend bean from Costco which I grind daily and French presso or my Nespresso machine. On days I get up a bit too late or am lazy (that covers a lot of days) I use my back up plan....Nespresso. I do prefer the Nespresso but the whole bean/French press is so much cheaper and I don't have the damn aluminum capsules to recycle. But after I put a generous splash of Southern Comfort they both pretty much taste the same. We each have $300 coming from the government to supplement our pensions due to the supposed increased cost of the pandemic. But really it is the government shovelling money off the back of a truck to just about everybody and they could not very well leave us seniors off the gravy train....hence our $300. My wife and I have renamed it our Southern Comfort subsidy.

I'm not a coffee connoisseur so I just experiment and add a lot of flavored creamers :p but I got this Barissimo light roast (I do prefer a medium roast especially when grinding whole bean) but this is pretty decent especially as it was only $3.79 for the 12 oz bag at Aldi. Aldi is only 1000 feet from my apartment so its a given I'll buy their cheap coffee :D A health food grocery store also less than 2000 feet from me but their coffee is priced so high. I might justify trying something out from there as they have a huge selection of imports and specialty beans but like I say, I don't have a particularly sophisticated palette and drown my coffee in half and half, flavored creamer and natural cane sugar anyway ....

One of my own combinations of Green Tea, Helichrysum, Fennel, Coriander Seed, and Anise.

It's a rather cheerful blend I have discovered.
