I like my coffee HOT.
I like it so hot that right after I brew a hot cup, I typically stick my mug of coffee in the microwave for 40 seconds to make it extra hot.
As it turns out, I think this little habit of mine helps me savor my morning cup of coffee because I totally forgot to microwave it this morning and I practically gulped it down like water.
I’m feelin’ wired!
This is one of the reasons I have a hard time hopping on the iced coffee train. How do you not gulp it down like Gatorade!? When something tastes like Christmas in a cup I have a hard time pacing myself.
After a sweaty morning workout, I enjoyed my not-so-hot cup of coffee with a simple breakfast.
I topped a toasted whole wheat English muffin with peanut butter that melted into the nooks and crannies like a champ. Yum!
I also had a cup of key lime Oikos Greek yogurt on the side.
When it comes to flavored sweet foods, if there’s not a chocolate option available, I am almost always on Team Strawberry and rarely choose lemon or lime-flavored treats. However, I must tip my hat to the key lime Oikos Greek yogurt. It tastes like key lime pie mousse in a cup (and I love it in my key lime pie protein smoothie)! Our local grocery store seems to have trouble keeping it in stock, so I was excited to see it on sale again.
Now it’s time to get this day rollin’. I hope you have a great Saturday!
Oh! And before signing off, here’s a video for my fellow dog lovers: Dog teaches puppy to walk down the stairs. <—My heart almost exploded when I watched it this morning.
See ya!
Question of the Morning
- Iced coffee/ Iced tea: Yay or nay?
I like them both, but I inhale them, so I typically opt for hot coffee or hot tea so I can enjoy them for a longer amount of time. Savor it, baby!

Love that flavor too. And Chobani now has these Key Lime yogurt and topper combo things that are really good too!
I like coffee any way! When it comes to tea, i only like it hot. 🙂
I’m a tea girl. Not a coffee person but on occasion I’ll get a vanilla latte. Always hot!
That key lime pie Oikos yogurt is SO good. I don’t eat regular yogurt often as it doesn’t agree with my stomach…but sometimes I’ll “splurge” and it’s usually that one or their toasted coconut vanilla flavored one. SO GOOD.
I cried like a baby when I saw that video for the first time. It’s too cute.
It’s best enjoyed at that time of the month with some chocolate.
I do really like iced coffee, but I definitely drink it more quickly than hot coffee. If it’s just plain black iced coffee I’ll drink it a little slower, but I have to admit that I really love McDonald’s iced coffee for an occasional treat, and it’s difficult not to inhale that in 30 seconds!
Yay! Another person who indulges McDonalds’s ice coffee! It is sooo yummy! Do you get it with sugar? It is so sweet!
I just order iced coffee (usually the hazelnut flavor), so it definitely has sugar and cream in it. It is really sweet, but so delicious! I didn’t even know you could ask for it without sugar!
So I’m not the only one that likes my coffee so hot it might burn your tongue! I also usually pour it out of coffee pot, add my milk and sugar and stick it in the microwave for 30 seconds. It is the only thing I use the microwave for. I actually want to get a milk frother that will froth and warm my milk, which might help me not need to microwave the coffee. As far as iced or hot coffee….both! I usually make iced coffee in the summer times for a random afternoon treat and have hot coffee every morning.
Absolutely the cutest video ever! I prefer hot coffee and iced green tea.
Being a PhD student means that coffee is my fuel. I drink it black, plain and a lot. Everything with sugar, cream and flavours is a candy 🙂 The bad habit that I developed is to drink it also when it cools down. Like the leftover of my morning coffee in the afternoon. Gross!
Btw, is Nespresso also popular in the US? Here in Germany people got crazy about it, we got the machine in the lab and it tastes amazing!
I loved this posting! I enjoy iced coffee more then hot coffee because the warmth from the coffee makes me sleepy. Kind of weird, I know! Does anyone else ever feel this way?
Also, I am so on board with not really wanting lemon or lime flavored sweet treats or food in general. Since you share in my palate, I might try the Chobani now!
: ) Morgan
I was at Walmart recently reaching for my usual Oikos Vanilla yogurt when a man said that I was crazy if I didn’t try the key lime. He was right! It is so good!
I don’t drink coffee anymore but I do drink Chai Lattes and I always order them extra hot so that it forces me to drink it slower.
I don’t do iced tea or coffee but you forgot about iced chocolate that I do for sure but definitely no chance of savouring that 🙂
Definitely iced coffee! I’m with you on heating coffee after its brewed…I don’t have a microwave though so what I tend to do is make enough for 2 small cups in my moka pot and add boiling water and hot milk to my 1st cup, for my 2nd cup I add the coffee, water and milk to a pan and heat it on the stove!! it’s a bit of a faff but does the trick 😉
Your english muffins look so tasty…it’s weird but it’s really hard to find them in the UK and even harder to find whole meal ones…they also see to be denser than your ones too (they don’t have the big holes I always see on the ‘english muffins’ you can buy in the USA) :(! x
I like all of my food/drink that is supposed to be hot to be really hot. I always ask for my Starbucks drinks to be extra hot. And I’ll throw coffee or tea back in the microwave for a few seconds to get some extra heat, too! 🙂
I like hot coffee better for that exact same reason!! Plus its more cozy!
I feel the exact same way! Coffee makes me feel cozy, so I always lean towards the hot stuff.
For me it’s totally seasonal. I love extra hot coffee and tea in the fall and winter, and iced in the spring and summer!
AW!!! I LOVE THAT VIDEO!! Makes me want to get Cooper a buddy–thank you for sharing!! <3
I’m not a fan of iced coffee, I only like my coffee hot. I do enjoy iced tea though…
I love both hot coffee and iced coffee. If I am cold, my coffee has to be hot. All other times? Iced!
I HATE iced coffee. That being said, I don’t mind drinking my coffee as cools down to cold. I don’t like to drink coffee that burns my tongue which is mainly why I use so much creamer (or not….).
I love that you have Fiestaware plates! I collect!
Also loving Key Lime Greek Yogurt. Can’t wait to try the smoothie!
I love,love,love coffee!!! My favorite is Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Skinny Latte. I prefer hot coffee over iced coffee. Just discovered a coffee flavored protein drink called CLICK…a protein shake you can drink hot or cold with a double shot of espresso. Whoohoo! Good before a workout!!!
Yoplait key lime yogurt is good too if greek yogurt is not available. As for the iced/hot coffee. I love both equally. But yes it is hard not to drink iced very quickly.
When I’m not paying attention, I tend to drink my yummy coffee drinks super fast. I usually prefer hot tea and coffee over cold though. They just taste better to me for some reason.
I loove iced coffee/tea!! I’m like you though…I need my coffee/hot tea really hot or I just drink it down in no time!
I make ice
I make iced coffee every morning. Green Mountain French Vanilla in the Keurg with a scoop of GNC lean vanilla protein powder & a splash of unsweetened coconut/almond milk.
My Sunday morning treat is a Starbucks’ non fat sugar free caramel misto with extra foam!
Oh my my husband ad I were cheering the puppy on! My cat kept looking at the phone with the whimpers!!
Hot coffee for sure! I’ll drink hot tea occasionally to calm me down or soothe a sore throat, but there’s nothing like a glass of iced tea.
The dog video was so stinkin’ cute!! I love hot coffee and really only like iced coffee if the drink has the word ‘mocha’ in the title. I only drink tea if I’m sick…or out of coffee 🙂
I love both! But, like you, I have a “drinking problem.” 😛 I like to gulp down my beverages too so I have trained myself to drink water as well as my other beverage to “slow me down” haha! Since I moved to Florida from the north, the weather is typically too hot for me to want hot tea or coffee so I tend to drink the iced varieties.
I like things really hot too! Haha. Your pb is so runny, I can’t find any runny pb anywhere around here- especially natural. I guess it’s the oil that does it?
I love coffee especially that green coffee beans one! Not only it has some taste(which is a must for me especially in the morning) but it is also said that it helps you keep your weight stable!
Hot hazelnut coffee from whole foods with 1 tsp coconut oil + a splash of almond milk is my current love affair 🙂 I used to enjoy iced coffee but this drink is best hotter then hot! Love + Shine Courtstar
I do the same thing with my coffee. Thefirst cup is never hot enough.
I’m always cold, so I prefer hot drinks, but them being hot certainly doesn’t make me drink them more slowly. I just burn myself, lol
I am in the same boat…I have GOT to have my coffee burn-your-mouth-off hot! It just helps you relax and take your time in the morning.
I love hot coffee. I probably heat mine up a thousand times while im drinking it.
Awesome breakfast!! Looks great 🙂
I do like iced coffee but only from Dunkin Donuts. Otherwise I really prefer super hot coffee.
I love my coffee hot too! I used to request extra hot at Starbucks which I’m sure annoyed them. And I have yet to try that key lime flavor, sounds delicious!
That is one of my favorite breakfasts! Since finding out I was allergic to gluten, I haven’t found an English muffin that satisfies like they used too! It gets super hot here in Texas in the summer so I do enjoy iced coffee occasionally, but there’s nothing like a good cup of hot coffee!
LOVE iced and frozen coffee. Ok so maybe I just like teh chocolate flavors put into them!
I like it hot. Can’t do cold coffee at all. Love the yogurt. One of my favorite flavors ever.
I am so hungry now. and the spoon of peanut butter to the right is not helping. Great post though!
Is that chocolate pb? It looks like it! I don’t know, I’d probably choose hot coffee over iced coffee and iced tea. Like you, I can’t help but drink it in about 2 minutes. I need something that takes me awhile!
I LOVE my coffee really hot. Whenever I order coffee from Starbucks, I always ask for it extra hot. But I often find that my coffee with Almond Milk gets cold a LOT faster. I have to keep heating it up in the microwave. I also have problems with my almond milk separating when it is heated. Does anyone else have these issues!?
I don’t like coffee. It smells great, but I don’t drink anything I have to acquire a taste for as a general rule. 🙂 I used to drink a lot of iced tea, but here in the south it is sweet, sweet, sweet, and I realized I was drinking a lot of calories so I cut it out altogether. I do love some hot chocolate though. It’s sort of my zen moment in the evening to sit down with some hot chocolate while the are children nestled in their beds.
I love Oikos Key lime too! My hubs works for Dannon and I’m always begging him to bring me some extra.
i love iced coffee… even in the cold NYC winters!
I definitely like warm drinks! They are so much more cozy, relaxing, and comforting! Love to start my mornings with a warm cup of tea. Coffee somedays, but not unless I’m planning to be running around all day. Now-a-days, I get TOO wired from Coffee. Trying to cut back!
I always drink tea hot and usually drink hot coffee but I love iced coffee. I don’t drink it very often because I drink it in seconds.
That puppy video is one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen!
