Gotta Get My Coffee!

My mom has worked in coffee shops for a good chunk of my life, hell she got me a job at a coffee shop when I was in high school. Fond memories of having to say "Thanks for calling The Coffee and Roasting Shop, how can I help you." That is way too much shit to say when you answer a phone.

On top of that my husband worked at Starbucks for over a year.

When it comes to coffee, I love the good stuff. The prepared the right way good shit. (I sound like an addict don't I?)

Top Tier: My local cafe and roaster. First they roast all the beans that they will use and sell that day. So it is really fucking fresh. When you order they weigh and grind the beans for your perfect cup. Then they hand brew the cup of coffee for you. Oh man I just drooled everywhere. I can't wait to move back and be within walking distance of this liquid gold.

Next Tier: Homemade (Obviously with the amazing beans I purchase from the above cafe) I will be posting a how to on making homemade iced coffee and such soon!

Last Tier: I always try to get the best of best but sometimes it isn't in my pocket book. My go to is Starbucks. Since my husband worked there I was able to nail down a delicious drink: Venti Iced Coffee with an add shot of espresso 4 pumps classic and soy milk pour on top. Damn Girl! If made correctly it can quench my thirst and give me some throwback memories to my 15-18 hour days on the campaign.I also can get stars towards free drinks and food. Great deal! If you drink at Sbux enough get the rewards card! It's free and worth it!

I also really enjoy Peet's Coffee but they don't have one in the Valley. What's your favorite coffee drink? (Or tea, or chai, or smoothie. . .) Let's get caffeinated!!
