My Cup of Joe- link up & giveaway

All right all you coffee lovers, today is the day that we unite and conquer. Today I am hosting FOR THE LOVE OF COFFEE link up PLUS giveaway! This is going to be big and it's going to be caffeinated. 
For my coffee rant today, I would like to share my favorite ways to have my coffee. I used to have only one drink I would get if I were to go to a coffee shop. I was consistent. I refused to waver. Until curiosity got the best of me. Now I could have my coffee made a number of ways depending on my mood, which only makes things for complicated when it is my turn to order. Yes, I am that annoying one who will step up then step back and let someone go ahead of her, and then step back up and ask the barista their suggestion. I know, I know, I annoy myself with it.

My fall back one when I don't know what else to get would be my first love, a non-fat, vanilla latte.
For when I am wanting something with a good coffee kick to it but yet a sweet treat I will go for an iced non-fat, caramel macchiato. 
For my day to day trips to Starbucks or the like, I will get something more stout, a hot or iced americano with 2 pumps of syrup. (This only has 28 calories for a venti if you were wondering!)
Now one of my new found loves is an iced cinnamon dulce latte, mmmhmmm.
When I am at home I go with regular drip coffee most of the time. If it is my day off I will probably go with the french press. I usually just use a teaspoon of sugar and call it good.

  2. Ok, I love this - do you like raspberry Godiva chocolate? If so try this next time - a black & white mocha with half the pumps of mocha and 1-2 pumps raspberry syrup. Oh my, it's like a liquid dessert - the barista who told me about it called it the "Pink Zebra" :) I only do half the pumps because I don't like my coffee too sweet :)
