message 1: by Alissa (new)

Alissa Patrick (apatrick12211) I brew my own coffee to take to work during the week, its usually Folgers or Eight O'Clock. I usually take it black, but occasionally I'll mix it up and add sugar or a seasonal creamer (ex pumpkin spice, peppermint mocha)

I usually dont read in a place like Starbucks bc I tend to get distracted and people watch ha

Canadian Jen Tim Horton's, my Canadian friends!


message 3: by Chrystal (new)

Chrystal (chrystal0830) Whichever coffee i put in the Keurig. I like variety, though most of the time its English Breakfast tea.

Phrynne So funny reading this as an Australian. It's like you are all talking a foreign language:) I recognise Costa because I have been to the UK recently. And we have Starbucks here although it isn't especially popular. Oh and of course I know Nescafe - I drink their instant coffee every day.
By the way what is a Keurig?

Its a coffee machine that dispenses coffee one cup at a time instead of making a whole pot. You use these little pods


Zoe Elizabeth (Booksatlunch) (booksatlunch) | 60 comments My boyfriend works at a boutique cafe in New York City, so I often post out there and get coffee while I read. My recent drink of choice has been a hot chocolate with two shots of espresso. Similar to a mocha - but comes out sweeter!

Thought, if I'm reading on the subway it's usually a cup of Dunkin Donuts with vanilla syrup, cream, and sugar. I can't do black coffee.

Carina | 1 comments Right now I am drinking a medium coffee from Dunkin Donuts (with milk and sugar). I just finished some grading and am about to pick up my book!


message 10: by Grace (new)

Grace I like to drink coffee with cream from my favorite local cafe that is fully of comfy seating areas. It makes me so happy!


message 11: by Dawn (new)

Dawn (mcdawn73) | 74 comments We brew our own from whole beans. Usually Eight O'clock brand but we also support one of our local small businesses. Coastal Coffee Roasters. They have some amazing blends. Nicaraguan is my favorite. My all time favorite weekend morning pastime is a cup of that on the front porch with a cigar, my husband and me with a book while he catches up on the news or whatever is happening online.

Holly | 35 comments Any coffee will do....I'm not picky when it comes to one of my favorite drinks. :D

message 14: by Sara (new)

Sara (sharrisonrickert) | 6 comments I'm a Starbucks lover, Sumatra in the french press is my go-to :) I also love curling up in my favourite local cafe with a cup of their coffee!


message 15: by Trinity (new)

Trinity | 9 comments When I read, it's usually tea. I'm not sure why because I am a coffee drinker in general.


message 16: by Alice (new)

Alice I have a coffee machine that grinds beans, it's actually for espresso but I use it to make "regular" (although a bit stronger) coffee. Always black.

However I don't drink coffee/tea while reading very often anymore. If I'm reading something very good (and because of goodreads it's more usual that I pick up books I know I'm going to like) I'll just forget about the coffee until it gets cold xD

You'll be hooked on the Cdn brew! Esp. when you get a freebie!


message 18: by Veronique (new)

Veronique Totally addicted to our Nespresso pods at home :O) When outside, it is either Starbucks or Pret a Manger (cappuccino).


message 19: by Book Concierge (new)

Book Concierge (tessabookconcierge) I usually drink one cup of half caf / half decaf - black - about 3 times a week.

But lately I find that I really like to get one of the MacDonald's Cafe Mocha Frappe's to enjoy in the afternoon. Yum.


message 20: by Madge (new)

Madge (madge_the_bibliomaniac) | 2 comments I grind beans fresh for each cup and use a travel mug French press my husband bought me after my second Bodum broke. I'm the only coffee drinker in the house, so I don't mind making it by the cup. I like getting fresher roasted beans from either a local-ish place, or ordered from Stumptown, but I can't always get them.

If I have fresh beans I drink it black, but if I have something from the grocery store (Starbucks, Caribou, etc.) I add a ton of flavored creamer. My go-to is hazelnut except around Christmas when I can find peppermint mocha. I'll add peppermint mocha to any coffee because I love that stuff!


message 21: by Melissa Wiebe (new)

Melissa Wiebe (melissawiebe80) | 11 comments Usually drip, but a night out I usually get a Caramel Machiato (sry about the spelling) from Starbucks.


message 22: by Shannon (new)

Shannon Loconte (sloconte) | 11 comments I've indulging in a LOT of hazelnut coffee with french vanilla creamer.


message 23: by Natalia (new)

message 26: by Jack (new)

Jack Davis (jackwilldavis) Got to be a Dolce Gusto Mocha, perfect for reading with! Any Latte is a close runner up...


message 27: by Lindsay (new)

Lindsay | 6 comments I used to drink French press while reading, but I've given up coffee for Lent. Now I drink loose-leaf Earl Grey while I read.


message 28: by Carl (new)

Carl | 57 comments Long Black (Americano) or espresso, preferably Kenyan or Ethiopian, but I'm not so fussy :)


message 29: by [deleted user] (new)

I reach for an Orange Pekoe tea with milk more often than I reach for coffee, but when I do opt for coffee, I go with a medium dark roast with cream and one sugar.


message 30: by [deleted user] (new)

Pumpkin Spice! Or maybe Sage and lemongrass tea!


message 31: by Amy (new)

Amy (amyhendrix22) | 48 comments Gevalia Columbian

I like dunkin donut. But I prefer Starbucks!


message 34: by Danielle (new)

Danielle (iamhorriblylimited) I love to make a trip to Starbucks and bring my drink back home to read. If the weather is really bad then I will have Starbucks via my Keurig if I have some at home.

I wish I have a keurig. Instant coffee is awesome to have.


message 36: by Dominique (new)

Dominique I have a Keuring so it`s Hazelnut or Vanilla


message 37: by Deb (new)

Deb Mclaughlin (ocforbooks) | 3 comments Hazelnut


message 38: by [deleted user] (last edited Mar 23, 2015 11:19AM) (new)

I buy a brand called Reveille. It isn't expensive. My husband and I tried it and liked it so I just started buying it. I do like Starbucks and I sometimes buy Dunkin Donuts or Kona Vanilla Macadamia nut coffee. I also sometimes buy either Hazelnut or French Vanilla creamer.


message 39: by Canadian Jen (new)

Canadian Jen I just got back from Cuba and I must say, they have the best coffee ever. I did bring some back but probably won't last long! But it went so nicely with my book.


message 40: by Pubslush (new)

Pubslush | 1 comments Definitely a cappuccino if we're out in a coffee shop, otherwise just a medium roast with a splash of almond milk.


message 41: by Ashley (new)

Ashley (perpetualbookworm) My Dunkin Doughnuts Caramel Cake coffee is my favorite reading coffee


message 42: by Kay (new)

Kay (kaymasta) I lived in Scandinavia for a while which ruined all other coffee for me. I still have my favorite Swedish dark roast shipped to me in the States!


message 43: by Julie (new)

Julie Edwards | 19 comments My go to comfort coffee is between a good dark roast or Bigelow's Constant Comment hot tea with agave.


message 44: by Caleb (new)

Caleb (irishmac473) When I'm at home I grind my own beans and brew a local companies coffee called Jamaica Me Crazy. When I'm out its Starbucks Pike Place.


message 45: by Michael (new)

Michael Wood (goodreadscommichaeljwood) | 1 comments Anything from Starbucks, particularly one located in a Barnes & Noble. You can't beat buying a book, then heading straight over to Starbucks to grab a latte and start reading it.


message 46: by Sophie (new)

Sophie | 5 comments I have a Nespresso machine at home so I like to make a latte with one of the strong coffee pods. I also bought some toffeenut and ginger syrup from Starbucks so sometimes I throw some of that in.


message 47: by Sara (new)

Sara (saraboulos) Americano!!


message 48: by Brenda (new)

Brenda (avidhobbyreader) So much Starbucks! If I visit a coffee shop I much prefer Caribou Coffee, or something local. I'm still trying to find a good one out here. Or if I'm at home I brew some Caribou in the French press or some iced coffee since I figured out how to make my own. After that I either add some milk and cinnamon or creamer.


message 49: by Capricious_Reads (new)

Capricious_Reads I'm a huge Sumatra fan but usually I drink tea when I'm reading. A nice Green, Earl Grey, Rooibos, or Chamomile are my favorites. ☺


message 50: by Absinthe (new)

Absinthe Depends...I brew a lot of coffee at home, but I find coffee from starbucks to be more relaxing. If I'm reading at home, I'll either have coffee from the keurig, brewed chai tea with a bit of milk in it, or some hot chocolate.
