What brand of French press, Rachel? I'm looking to get one.

Sheila, I've tried a lot of drip coffee machine brands over the years and finally found one that works well for me -- it's actually a Black and Decker and has a thermal carafe rather than a glass pot (a must for me as I tend to drink the pot over a full day.) But, I'm no connoisseur of coffee, so a purist might suggest a totally different maker.

Yikes! I'll have to remember to ask for the non-fat hot chocolate w/o whip!

I look forward to the Pumpkin Spice Lattes every year. Yum! I don't think 210 calories is that bad, really.

I guess I compare it to what food I could eat for that many calories- they are great treats but thats a lot of calories for coffee

**HiddenMickey** · 11-09-2009, 09:23 AM

We were shocked to find out how many calories were in Smoothie King drinks too. A "healthy" drink should not add 500 calories to your diet!

Since I'm not a regular coffee drinker - to me they are a treat and I always get the smallest. I had a gingerbread latte with soy milk and whippped cream yesterday morning while I was grocery shopping (my grocery store has a starbucks in it)! YUMMY!

**TinkerBelz** · 11-09-2009, 02:05 PM

Yep, I knew this. Have you tried any of the SF syrups. IF they have them, that will bring your calories down. That's why I stick to the capp. Although they aren't the best in calories, I get them SUPER dry - which is WAY less milk and extra shots of espresso, which has hardly any calories at all.

so can you get a gingerbread latte with sf syrup?

**TinkerBelz** · 11-09-2009, 09:55 PM

I'm not sure which syrups they have SF, you'd have to ask them. But I know they have several.

I am patiently waiting for Starbucks to have their Eggnog Lattes, they are yum! Though I am sure very calorie laden as well.

For those interested, I have a Keurig coffee maker, and it is FABULOUS! I never drink more than one cup of coffee at a time so for me it's perfect to make a quick cup to take to work.

**Caldercup** · 11-09-2009, 11:32 PM

I've looked at the Keurigs, but they're so blasted expensive -- and then I can't brew for multiple people at a time and we entertain frequently.

*sigh*

And I'm

at the fact that those are nonfat too (which I never order)! Stupid, incredibly awesome and creamy, yummy peppermint mochas!

It really doesn't help that I'm unemployed and trying to stay away from Starbucks since I refuse to mortgage my house for a latte, but dang it, I have a gift card burning a whole in my wallet as we speak! *sigh*

Although,

I have one too- and I love it! Do you have the extra cup you can buy so you can use your own coffee too? I have two cups usually and maybe make one to take to work- and I LOVE it too- the coffee is sooooooo good andhot!
If I have friends over, I use the trusty 12 cup coffee maker-
