Word of the week - Coffee

I love coffee. I drink around 12 cups/mugs a week. I only drink lattes. I can't stand instant coffee, the smell of it will make me gag. I make at least 7 coffees at home. I use my own mugs mostly and get a discount and use my blue light card.

Both of these are from Starbucks and whilst they cost around £20 each, they keep the coffee warm for around 3-4 hours and don't leak, even when upside down.


My favourite is a Starbucks. 


My most picturesque view was my local Costa Coffee in Dubai.

My local now is Caffè Nero in Malvern.

I make coffee at home.


I drink it at home in the garden.


In the car on my way to work.


I make coffee in the van.

Whilst out and about.

But my favourite place to drink it is in the coffee shop, with my laptop or a book or best of all with a friend for a natter and a catch up.



I went for a run on Sunday morning. Peter met me in the coffee shop, he brought my book with him. I had another coffee in the evening and read some more of my book in the garden wrapped up in a blanket.

On Monday I had coffee on my way to work, then grabbed a takeaway coffee from the services on the way to the football.

On Tuesday it was coffee on the way to work and coffee at Nero's in the evening.

On Wednesday there was coffee on the way to work and a coffee after gym.

On Thursday there was coffee on the way to work only.

On Friday there will be coffee on the way to work and a coffee after the gym.

On Saturday there will be coffee as I drive to Swindon and coffee after parkrun and my annual christmas walk with my friend.

  1. I probably drink about 3 coffees a week at this time of year, in the summer I have an iced coffee most days. The view in Dubai looks idyllic. I do like a coffee from a coffee shop, it feels like such a treat.

    1. I love being able to make a proper coffee at home also. I miss my coffee shop views

  2. I did not drink coffee until I was in my mid 50's - I was always driving our youngest to Starbuck's and decided to give it a try. Now I need at least one cup each day! It is a lovely way to start one's day! Happy December, Suzanne!

  3. I love coffee as well. Last year for my birthday Cameron bought me a coffee machine so we can make cappacinos at home and its now a whole thing with David and I - we drink most of our coffee at home. I meet a friend for coffee once a week at Vida but Plato is definitely my favorite.

    1. It's lovely to have the link with Cameron with the coffee. My favourite SA coffee was KFC

  4. I'm more of a tea drinker! My daughter loves coffee and I bought her a nice coffee machine for her birthday earlier this year, she has to grind the beans herself and loves choosing different flavours. I honestly think it's the best present I ever bought her as an adult, the only problem is the space it takes up on my worktop!

  5. I absolutely love coffee, I had to give it up for a while last year and missed it so much. De-caff just wasn't cutting it. I can drink it again now but usually limit myself to two cups a day.
    I love your resueable cups, they work out at good value when you think how many times you will use them over the years.

    1. The reusable cups keep the coffee so warm, I don't like to rush my coffee

  6. Drinking coffee with a friend is definitely the best way to enjoy it. I'm more of a tea drinker than a coffee drinker though. Those travel mugs look great - I have a similar one that keeps drinks warm for hours too. I usually only tend to use mine for coffee as well as tea is less good when it's not freshly made. #WotW

    1. Tea doesn't taste right to me unless it's drunk in a china mug
