What coffee do you drink when reading?

[Rach , Moderator]

Wendy, uhm yum!! That sounds so good! Where do you buy?

[Wendy]

It's a company out of Minneapolis - I live close enough that it's in our local grocery stores. They will ship it to you though! PeaceCoffee.com

[Karyn]

Looking this one up too!

I usually have my Lavazza Espresso which I make at home, but if i am in a coffee shop I will have a Cortado or
A Latte 😊 x

[Snomer]

If I go to a cafe called Mugg & Bean to read, I drink the M&B House Blend coffee ... or if I'm reading at home, I drink Nescafé Gold coffee.

I found out that coffee really amps up my anxiety and I drank it with way too much sugar, so I switched to tea about four months ago. I usually go through anywhere between 4-8 cups a day. My favorites for reading (all from David's Tea) are Just Beet It, English Toffee, and Stormy Night

[John]

I prefer a nice West Coast IPA but.... a good dark roast coffee is good on a cold day. We all know fresh is best but I like that my insulated mug is pretty good for a few hours of nice warm coffee as I listen to my books.

I tend to just buy Starbucks ground coffee off the shelf at a Harris Teeter, and I use Coffeemate creamer (my favorite is the peppermint mocha flavor, but unfortunately that's seasonal).

[Anita]

I've been ordering whole bean coffee form Intelligensia. they have a great selection of beans from all over, right now the Rwandan beans are my favorite.

I am so the same. Those early morning hours are SO refreshing !

I recently got myself a drip coffee maker with a metal filter (the Högmodig by Ikea, to be precise). Holy guacamole, the coffee that comes out of this is soo good! My initial thinking was to save some waste and go paperfree. At least with making coffee - I'd never give up physical books :) But it turns out it is so much better than the classic Melitta ceramic filter I've been using for years.
Has anyone else tried manual drip coffee makers?

[Amber]

Yes, I really like mine too.

[TheGoodPostit]

Last one I bought in a trip to NY was a Costa Rica (light roast)in Kobrick Coffee.

OF COURSE! <3

Hi! I drink coffee for two reasons: to open my brain up for study/work or to just joy.
If I am getting ready to work, I make myself a big mug of black french pressed coffe (usually Kenya coffee beans) and read my book while I'm drinking. It takes 23 minutes because caffeine reaches my brain 23 minutes after the first sip. Then I get up and start doing my job.
But, if my aim is to enjoy, I make or buy a vegan cappuccino or a mocha with sugar-free berry syrup. I drink and read for hours in this way.

Is it too spesific? :))

[Alexw]

Thanks Cagla for your response on coffee that was not too specific-any special type of Kenya coffee beans?

No, not really. The only thing I can say that I don't like over-roasted beans, it's not healthy and it makes the taste of coffee more bitter. I prefer medium-roasted or lighter.

Lavazza Crema Gusto, pressed in a Bodum, with double cream. :)

I love a good strong, dark roast filtered coffee but quite partial to a pumpkin spiced latte ;-)

Oh yesss! Tis the season! :P

[Lisa]

Roasted Dandelion tea or Green Jasmine tea with stevia when I'm not enjoying a nice Illy Americano with cream.

[Alexw]

I thought my favorite was Highlander Grog(I am even reading #5 in the highlander series-The Fiery Cross !!) but tasted coconut cream at local Coffee shop and was hooked, Anybody know a novel that coconut cream would be appropriate to read to ??-LOL !!

[Joan]

Plain strong black coffee by Maxwell House. 😁☕️

[Kat]

Lately been sipping on (aged) Papua New Guinea Starbucks light roast, with a dollop of ice cream in it if I'm feeling decadent.

[Deidra]

I love caramel macchiato with whip cream and extra caramel...or keurig when I'm at home :)

[Linda]

Today, Starbucks breakfast blend with pumpkin spice sprinkled on top.

[g ✰]

cappacino- love that little happy bit of foam between pages <3

Same for me. Right now I am drinking some Starbucks brand that is too strong!

I hate Keurig with a passion. It doesn't taste like coffee to me.

[Christine]

I don’t drink coffee

[Jessica]

It’s so hard to pick some days - I am so passionate about my coffee. I even roast my own beans! Today I went with a blonde roast, but I’ll probably jump into the season of pumpkin with a pumpkin spice latte soon (although pumpkin season is year-round for me 💕).

Kaldis highlander grog

[Kristine]

I just don’t like hot drinks, but do need my Caffeine. I drink Diet Coke. I even want to read a book about it .

[Julie]

I drink coffee instant strong one a day on waking up and the rest of the day tea 🍵 lots of it

[Elliot]

definitely a long black ☕ or a flat white seems to be the way to go

Ah, coffee and reading, the perfect pairing—like sarcasm and my personality. I’m all about the dark, bold brews that don’t just wake you up, they slap you in the face and tell you to get your act together. Sumatra? Solid. Pike’s Place? Sure, if you’re stuck at the airport. But 100% pure Kona estate? Now we’re talking! That’s like the gold standard of caffeine. If anyone’s got the hook-up on that liquid magic, let me know—I’ll trade my first-born. Just kidding… unless you have Kona."
