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!

I’m the opposite… I do not like my coffee very hot because I always burn my mouth & I like to drink it fairly quickly… so I can move onto the next cup. LOL I set my brewer on the lowest heat setting possible & it is STILL too hot for me. If I add a bit of almond milk to it, it’s about the perfect temp for me.
I’m w/ya on team strawberry! I may have to try that lime Oikos though. 😉
I only do iced coffee in the middle of a really hot day in the summer. Always, always hot coffee in the morning. That peanut butter english muffin looks amazing!
I don’t enjoy any type of coffee! Sometimes I really wish I do, but I just don’t like the taste. I read so many other healthy living blogs and other people drink it so much, I just can’t make myself do it. In the mornings I have water or almond milk. I used to always have apple juice, but a little over a year ago I stopped drinking that because of the HUGE amount of sugar in the drink. But I sure do enjoy my almond milk in the morning! 🙂
ryan and my dad hate coffee, too! they’re big-time tea drinkers though.
haha I’ll drink it hot, cold, iced, warm — I love coffee & tea! I agree though I do tend to drink the iced drinks in 30 seconds. Good morning pretty!
I do the same! I always have them make my coffee extra hot at Starbucks because I like to make it last. The only downfall is that sometimes I forget and end up burning my throat because I get way too anxious. Pretty soon, it will be time for Iced Coffee though!
Me too. Always get my latte extra hot at Starbucks. Especially if your sitting with a friend chatting, then it doesn’t get cold too quickly as you’re not drinking it so fast
I’m the same way!! I always heat it in the microwave, especially if I add any kind of milk/sweetener. Oh and I just bought that yogurt from Costco yesterday, the lady was handing out samples and her voodoo magic totally worked on me, it’s so good!
those sample ladies know what they’re doing! they get me all the time.
Depends, post run I normally always go with an iced latte, but other times it’s aways hot. There is just something about that first hot sip that makes you take a deep breath in and out with a smile. Comfort.
I completely agree with you. Hot coffee provides that feeling of comfort:)
I usually drink my coffee at room temp. I make it and then drink it in sips over the course of the morning. ..
I like my coffee hot too! I never could seem to get on the iced coffee bandwagon!
Ian not a big coffee fan. My husband loves it and every now and then brews a cup for me if he thinks I would like it. Sometimes I do 🙂 I am more of a tea lover. Make it hit and slowly sip it as it cools down. I got hooked on earl grey because of captain Picard. Lol.
Awww puppy love. My mom is the exact same way, where she likes her coffee burning hot. I’m always so embarrassed at Starbucks, when she asks if they can make it extra hot. All the workers there recognize her as the extra hot lady now haha. I like hot and iced, but iced I have to get a large because it’s down in 2.5 seconds.
Oikos also makes a really yummy coconut flavor. I used it once to make your greek yogurt pancakes, and it was sooo good!
I like iced flavored coffee but I can’t do iced tea. I have to have it hot!
I love your blog!! I want to start a strength training routine but I don’t know where to start. I also am keeping an eye out on here for some “to go” breakfast and lunch meals with no peanut butter,(can’t take it to the school I work at…peanut allergies!
Thanks for inspiring me!!!!
Hot coffee for the win!
That yogurt flavour sounds delish. I tend to prefer obvious “sweet” flavours for yogurt too but it is hard to resist a dessert in a cup. I’ll need to look for this one!
Have a great weekend!
P.S. Where is Miss Sadie?
I like them both hot and cold depending on the weather and my mood. I tend to drink the cold much faster as well. Adorable video! I still can’t get Louie to go down the stairs at 7 months old. I need to borrow Simon. 😉 Why is your peanut butter so dark? Is it a special kind?
Awwwwwwwww that video!!!! Sweetest. Does it make me a bad woman if I find puppies cuter than babies?? Did you see the one where a dog saves another dog that’s been hit by a car?? I nearly died.
I have a cousin who got me started drinking iced tea for breakfast when I was a teenager. Now I am an iced tea fanatic – morning, noon, night, winter, spring, summer, fall. I also had a toasted Eng muffin with PB for breakfast, but I added grape jelly to mine – yum!
I’m not a coffee drinker but I’m a HUGE tea drinker and I like my tea hot! Primarily because it keeps my hands warm 🙂 (I’m always cold…)
Iced from Starbucks! Unless its cold, then I like hot:)
I LOVE COFFEE, no matter what the temperature! However, iced coffee is much more delicious to me. You’re right that it is hard to savor – sometimes I do gulp it down like Gatorade!
I will only drink my coffee SUPER hot! Like burn my mouth hot. I’m not sure why this is, but about every 5 minutes I have to re-heat my coffee since it’s just not up to par with how I like it. And don’t get me started on iced coffee, ick I just can’t drink the stuff! Hot all the way 😉
I’m like you… I stick my coffee in the microwave immediately after pouring a cup. And then I usually reheat it a few times before I’m done drinking it! I like it scorching ’til the last drop! I do love decaf iced tea or coffee on a hot day though 🙂
That video killed me!! So precious.
I loved iced coffee; I actually had one this morning!
Have you tried the Chobani Key Lime Crumble flip? It’s SO good!
That’s why I drink decaf—wired— I mix some minimal caff with my decaf. And i love any type of coffee!! I’ve recently been grinding my own 100% Columbian beans. Yummo!!!!! Cheaper too I think. E
I had an iced latte today but, yes, drank it too fast! I love iced coffee.
Hahah, that peanut butter melted like a CHAMP! I like my peanut butter to be a go-getter too.
i’m the same way – i like my coffee piping hot and am constantly microwaving it! i definitely prefer hot coffee as opposed to iced coffee.
the peanut butter on your english muffin has me craving a big spoonful of pb!
Iced coffee in the summertime is one of my favorite “treats”. Because, otherwise, I prefer hot coffee. Iced tea–I can take it or leave it.
That video is so cute!!
I like my coffee scolding hot, my friends in college were always amazed that the second I poured my cup of coffee I was sipping on it and I drink it black to there was no cool down factor. But I also enjoy iced coffee, there is nothing better on a warm summer day!
I LOVE hot coffee. But on summer days where I’ve been on the beach for 5+ hours, a slurp of an iced coffee is what gets ride of the heat headache!!
Hot coffee usually, but sometimes I enjoy an iced coffee when it’s hot out. For some reason I like sugar in iced coffee, but not hot coffee, so I have to be in the mood for something sweet!
I actually can’t stand most hot drinks. Occasionally, if I’m freezing, I can stomach something hot, but I’m typically a huge iced drink fan! And it’s true: I do gulp it down like Gatorade.
I don’t really drink anything other than water (it sounds like I lead a boring life..and I might), but I do like iced tea. When I drink iced tea, though, I prefer it to be flavored whereas I can drink hot black tea with some low cal sweeteners and be content (less calories, too!) I usually drink hot tea on cold mornings when I’m dragging because it makes me feel good and warms me up
I saw this video a few weeks ago, and it is so adorable. Love it!
agreed! iced coffee is my weakness! I chug those babies so I try to pace myself with hot coffee 🙂
I always heat my coffee after I make it, too. I have to feel the steam hit my lip right before I drink it or it’s down like water. Then, I get all jittery for about an hour and crash. I get coffee in the morning from DD and warm it up multiple times throughout the day. I just can’t drink luke warm coffee!
THAT VIDEO. Oh my gosh. I remember the first time Elmo went down the stairs, I was such a proud mother and I was like waiting with my arm’s open… A bit ridiculous but eh. hahah
Ohhh how you read my heart on the coffee! Throughout my cup of coffee I almost always end up microwaving it three times
And iced coffee….yeah it lasts about 45 seconds 🙂
I love iced coffee, but always chug it! i’m the same – the hotter, the slower I enjoy. And I have to make sure I have water with me too, because lots of times I chug because I’m actually thirsty
I like it both ways too 🙂 It’s just starting to get warmer here in Indiana (like today it’s warm but it will probably snow tomorrow!!) so iced coffee sounds awfully tasty right now!
I prefer iced coffee most of the time… Except around Christmas time of course. 🙂 I am a super slow drinker though so I don’t usually have that issue. My hot coffee gets reheated multiple times.
I almost cried at that video. I need a puppy STAT!
oh I love iced coffee, but I always get a grande or a venti and I always finish it so quickly! I definitely take in a lot more iced coffee than hot!
Hot coffee all the time! I drink it in 105 degree weather but I can’t help it! Ice coffee goes too quick- then I always feel like I need another one or a bigger size.
That breakfast looks GOOD!! I am the same way with my hot drinks, except I do this with my hot cocoa because I am not a coffee drinker. The hardest part is figuring out how to drink it without burning my tongue or the roof of my mouth! :/
LOVE that puppy video! I saw that a few weeks ago and just about died with all of the cuteness! 🙂
I’m the same with cold drinks they disappear in two seconds flat..hence the switch to herbal teas! The downside is constantly burning my tongue!
I love coffee! Folger’s caramel drizzle is my favvvvvorite to make at home! At Starbucks, I love getting skinny cinnamon dolce lattes. I’ve never tried iced coffee, but iced tea is good!
I love my coffee and tea hot and steamy too, but also like to sip it over long period of time. So now I don’t go anywhere without my starbucks thermos, which is excellent at keeping things hot for a while. Even when I’m at home I throw my coffee in the thermos to avoid those frequent trips to the microwave 🙂
This is very reminiscent of my breakfast this morning as well. When I first started drinking coffee I preferred it mildly hot-warm, but the longer I drink it the hotter I like. Patience is not my strong suit so it can’t be too hot or I will definitely burn my tongue, since there is no way I can wait to sip, but just under scorching is perfect for me. I have the same problem with iced coffee, I love it (its one of my favorite summer drinks) but I have to order larger cups and they’re gone before I know it. So I order them sparingly.
