Bit of a Gargoyle

I decided to refine my latte habit and instead drink good old 7-11 coffee, no cream, in the 99 cent refill reusable mug. Two days of that and I was puking acid (yes, brew really IS stronger than expresso) and have a rash even on my ears!

So, yesterday was no caffeine at all and lots of water and about 2 am this morning I woke up wanting to rip out every tooth in my head it hurt so bad. At 7 I crawled into a truck and went to Starbucks. I'm going back in a few minutes-not trusting my own brew to this critical situation.

I think I'm just going to have to suck it up and learn to make expresso.

i am a peet's coffee fan, followed by starbuck's italian roast. i don't enjoy dd at all. jb and i bought a cappicino/expresso machine a year ago and love it.

it was a splurge i haven't regretted for a moment!

Ahhhh, peets. Have you tried their lapsong tea-that smokey flavored black tea? True addiction.

based on your recommendation, i'm going to put that tea in jb's christmas stocking!

Oh my lordy! This made me laugh so hard...been there, done that!!! LOLOL! You will love making your own expresso...actually you could invest in a Keurig Coffee Maker, and it would pay for itself in only 20 cups of Starbucks!!! I love these and would love to have one hard-lined to the water supply!!! Yeah, baby!!! I am a coffee addict! Check out all of the different coffes, teas, and hot choc's they have available!!! Yee-haw!

Caffeine withdrawal is the worst. Indulge Deb - it's a daily delight, one that we all could use.
