    It's -24 degrees celcius here, -36 with the wind factor. I just went out to bring the kids to school and stopped by Tim Horton's to get a large coffee and settle down to work. I took 2 sips of it and reached over to lay it on the table while reading something on the screen, but I missed the table by an inch... Nooooooo!!!!!! I want to cry! I spilled the entire contents on my kitchen floor! Sure, I could make my own, but mine is never as good as Tim's! It's so good that I am working up the courage to brave the cold and get some more!

    What's your favorite must-have drink?

    That's really cold!!

    My favorite drink is chai tea latte, but coffee is a close second and it's what I drink every day. Just one cup, though, or I'm shaking for hours ;)

    Oh nooooo! I'd be crying, too.

    When I make coffee at home I use some Splenda and York Peppermint Patty creamer. When I go to Starbucks I get a Grande Upside Down Skinny Caramel Macchiato.

    Daily I drink my coffee in a big travel stainless steel travel mug with some table cream or 1/2 and 1/2. I quit the flavored creamer in April. I'm trying to go all-black with my coffee. We'll see.

    My favorite coffee "out" is the Cinnamon Dolce Latte at Starbucks.

    We were out of 1/2 and 1/2 and I didn't know, so this morning I have black coffee with a splash of milk. It's scary but I think I can get through.

    I love tea! Chai latte is my go to Starbucks drink, but I can make them at home and they taste pretty close, so I never go to Starbucks if I can help it lol!

    oh no! Sorry you spilled your coffee. No fun!

    My drink of choice is the opposite of most of you... I leave my diet coke in the van in the winter so that when I get to work I have the ice-coldest slushy yummy diet coke to drink. Mmm.... :)

    I'm a coffee drinker too....I go to bed excited because I get to wake up and have coffee...It's really that bad. I just make mine at home though. DH used to roast his own beans but he ran out and we haven't placed another order yet.

    Ummm, I would totally be crying too!!! I can't live without coffee!!!! Caramel Macchiato for me!!!

    When I was pregnant, I literally cried over spilled milk! LOL I was carrying a gallon of milk in the house from the garage fridge and dropped it...it busted over. I think I sobbed for a good hour over it! My hubby thought I went off the deep end....I went through a gallon of milk every two days when I was pregnant.

    Oh, that just stinks! And I'd hate the clean-up part of that almost as much as losing out on the coffee.

    I try to limit myself to one cup of coffee a day (usually first thing in the morning) because I like to add sugary bad stuff to it. :) My most recent concoction is my favorite so far. One cup of coffee made from a Moka Pot (kind of like a French Press or espresso machine) with some sugar and cream (of course), as well as a small teaspoon of a dark chocolate mix (like Dark Sipping Cocoa mix from Trader Joe's) topped with peppermint whipped cream. I found the peppermint whipped cream at Target right after Christmas, but it was limited edition and I haven't seen it anywhere else. Sooo yummy, though!

    Oh no! I would totally cry over spilled anything that I went out in the freezing cold to get :P

    Another coffee with York peppermint patty creamer fan over here. Or the pumpkin spice, which is devine. Or cinnabon... I just really, really like flavored coffee. My boyfriend bought me an espresso machine for our apartment last year and it helped me to stop going out for coffee!

    First off, I don't think I would have even ventured out in that cold - so kudos to you. And I would have cried. I love my coffee and if I actually spent money on take out coffee - then there would definitely be reason for tears.

    Oh no, I'm sorry. I used to be a total Starbucks addict, and then moved back to Norway and had to quit cold turkey. It was awful, I wish my have to have drink was still Starbucks :( We don't have Starbucks here, which is a total waste, seeing as Norwegians dink the most coffee in the world or something? We're right at the top.

    Now I don't have a fave.

    I was never a coffee drinker until I tried a Salted Caramel Mocha at Starbucks. Yum.

    I rarely get coffee though. Only if I'm up at some insane hour and have to be somewhere and I spot a Starbucks on the way.
