I like it with a half teaspoon of sugar and a splash of milk. I do love the smell and taste of coffee, but it just kills my insides so I can't drink it.

8. Decaf with heavy cream.

Just started with the heavy cream. Only use a 1/3 of the amount with better results. Cost much less that the regular coffee cream because I use so much less and it taste better and zero carbs.

This is what my Irish family always consumed all day long.
It is so good.

I drink regular and then switch to decaf in the afternoon.

Feb 2022

The thought of it gets me up in the morning, or keeps me from crawling back under the covers after early am potty run. I make one perfect mug, fair trade medium roast filtered through a Melita, H&H and a little sugar or honey. Some water before and after.

When coffee becomes too expensive pr unavailable, I will switch to some kind of tea.

It's a ritual to get the water on and boiling, takes three minutes, which gives time to assemble the maker adding the filter and grounds to the cone. By then the water is boiling and ready to pour over the grounds. I love the smell of the steam as it brews. After my perfect cup of coffee, I can face nearly anything that comes careening out of nowhere.

I usually get 30 grams of protein in my breakfast mix, plus some caffeine to clear the cobwebs.

I usually start the day brewing a green or white tea, then might go to an oolong. Red tea. Pu'er.

We drink lots of tea, and I love brewing all sorts gongfu style.
