Holiday Coffee Giveaway


So raise your hand if your a coffee lover? I see many are, lucky you, cuz I'm hosting a holiday coffee giveaway and all you have to do to enter is leave a comment here telling me your favorite coffee, be it plain old Folgers or one of the many flavored coffee's which are equally good. Me personally, I love half caff by Folgers, much tamer on the tummy so I enjoy it more but I do enjoy some of the flavored kinds too, esp. in the afternoon during my "coffee break" that hour each day I take for myself to relax and watch Gilmore Girls before I have to start dinner! Hey, a girl has to have her coffee breaks like anyone else! lol Now, this giveaway is just for coffee lovers, a sister giveaway will be for the tea lovers next and soon, all in time to savor before the holidays, so stay tuned. I'll be taking names till the 25th so spread the word!

Today, I'm thankful for coffee, a small thing but oh so good.......it wakes me up in the mornings, it calms me down in the afternoons and they now tell us it's good for us again, so I'm thankful for coffee! May sound silly, but if you recognize even the smallest things that we take for granted, they just mean more. I can't imagine not starting my day off with coffee, could you?

  3. I REALLY like Ethiopian Harrar. It's so rich and bold and stand up well to the cream I always load my coffee with. :)

  8. Drinking a white mocha right now. I love all coffee! Diner coffee, mexican, espresso, lattes, fancy girly coffees, iced toddies, plain old drip coffee. Yum! One brand I like for at-home coffee is CoffeeFactory.

  9. Here in Canada (I think that this is now available in some states) I just love our Tim Horton's coffee. I have my family trained to bring me a cup, and I also buy it by the can to make at home.

    Next to that would be Starbucks, but they are so expensive.

  14. Love my coffee!! I usually only have time to drink about 2 or 3 cups in the morning. I buy the Food Lion Brand of 100% Colombian and add cream, brown sugar and a little bit of pumpkin pie spice. Yum. I just can't afford the flavored creamers right now.

    Thanks for the giveaway :)

    Hugs,
    Vic

  16. I love what you said about not ignoring the small things! That is so true!

    I'm not much of a coffee drinker, unless it's the flavored kind. So I am wishing good luck to whoever wins your sweet give away! :)

    And wishing you a wonderful day!

  18. I'm a Maxwell House drinker, but only a couple of times a week. Unfortunately, coffee seems to give me acid reflux~but I still love it and indulge every once in a while!

  19. Wow, I have learned of so many new kinds of coffee from reading your comments. I love plain old coffee perked in my old Sears and Roebuck perk-o-later coffee pot. It heats to the right temp of good hot coffee which is 210 degrees. Add lots of half-half and some sweet-n-low and thats a good cup of joe for me. Have fun with yiur give away and reading your comments.

  20. Oh yes coffee.. I love the dark full bodied roasts. We drink mostly starbucks fair trader. French Roast or Sumatra. Holiday time I serve the Starbucks Gazebo blend as it is a smooth lighter coffe that most people like for anytime drinking. or pair it with dessert. Have a great Thanksgiving.

  21. Starbucks has a new Thanksgiving Blend which I tried recently when given a gift card.

    Add a lot of cream and a little Splenda and it was wonderful.

    As you can tell from the title of my blog, I love tea AND coffee. :)

  23. I like my Folgers first thing in the morning with some flavored French Vanilla Creamer..then later in the day I usually hit up McD's for a Sugar Free vanilla ice coffee or if I'm near a Starbucks, I get a vanilla latte or a mocha Frappuccino. Love my coffee!

    ReplyDelete
  24. I really like the Dunkin Donuts coffee, it has an extra something special in it. I don't buy it all the time, though, it's pretty expensive. But as a treat once in a while!

    My favorite is Mountain Blend by Nestle. I used to buy beans and grind them but now I drink instant. I do love a good brewed cup every now and again and I think Lavazza will always be my favorite for brewed but I do love my Mountain Blend:)
