My (Not So?) Boring Latte (Urgo's YTO 109 Day 257)






Today I was watching unclenalt's 'My Boring Life' video and it reminded me that someone else was asking recently about how I made a latte so I decided to respond to him and show how exactly I do make it! I also thought it would be cool if you all made video responses showing how you make/get YOUR coffee so we can see a snapshot around the world of this morning tradition most of us partake in :) Oh also, Krups if you're watching this, this is the second espresso machine that's gone south on me. I was on the phone with you guys reporting this issue a week or so ago. I'll probably just bring it back to the store (love open return policies) but seriously, wtf is up with the overdrive on the frother!

    rituals... this is quite a set of steps, ya creature of habit! :D I make a whole pot of regular Maxwell House (or whatever is on sale) and then I use those flavored creamers - one of my faves is the mint chocolate, so YAY to adding a minty chocolate flavor to yours! :::clinks coffee mug to monitor in minty chocolate solidarity::: Today, I've gone with a rum flavored creamer that is mighty tasty, too. I like to mix it up each week and have a new flavor.

    There is NO way I could endure that for the first cup of morning caffeine. I barely manage to stumble to the kitchen, get the coffee out of the fridge (yes, that's where I keep it), put it, a filter, and water into the coffee maker, and push the "on" button. Then I go pee, and when I get back, there'd better be coffee.

    Aww that sucks :( Sorry! I don't know what I'd do w/o milk. I've had a bowl of cereal for breakfast ever since I was a little kid.

    hah cool, yeah I think most people do, my parents did as well, but yeah it doesn't need to be in there :) One thing I DO put in that most probably don't is bread though just because it lasts longer there and I dont eat it very often.

    As a former barista monkey, I had people hooked on iced banana nut latte. Either almond or hazlenut + banana Torani.

    A instructor in a training class used that... "How many of you put the ketchup in the refrigerator?" and everyone raised their hand. Then he passed around the bottle and asked where does it say refrigerate. I put it in the refrigerator, because my Mom did.

    I drank green tea for a while. I used to actually like this iced green tea mix but they don't even sell it down here so I ended up going to coffee =]
