COFFEE! Yes, please :)

Is it just me, or is it that when you have kids there are times when you need a coffee IV?  Honestly, I have days when my morning coffee seems to do nothing.  I will drive by Starbucks just a few hours later and have to fight myself to not stop for more coffee!  Do you know what happens later that afternoon, I get more coffee!  I don't know if I am not getting enough sleep or if it's just that I love me some coffee :)  Here's the kicker.  I can't just drink coffee.  The taste of coffee is disgusting to me, just like beer.  I can't stand the taste of either.  So I need a ton of sugar, creamer, milk, etc. to make my coffee not taste like coffee.

Usually I use 2 TBSP of creamer, 1/4 to 1/2 cup of almond milk and hot chocolate in my coffee.  At that point, it's sweet enough and I can't taste the coffee flavor.  When Smiley360 offered me the chance to try Nescafe with Coffee-mate, I was super excited but I was also skeptical because of the extreme sweetness that I need in my coffee.

The next morning after received my free sample from Smiley360, I decided to give it a try.  I used 2 TBSP of Nescafe mixed with 6oz of hot water.  The first taste was okay but the coffee was really weak.  I added more of the Nescafe and it tasted somewhat better.  I was able to finish my coffee and it actually tasted okay.  I must admit though that I haven't used it since.  Here's my breakdown as far as the Nescafe with Coffee-mate...

Pros:

  1. The coffee and creamer is already mixed together.  Super quick and super easy!
  2. There are only 80 calories in a serving!  2 TBSP = 80 calories (SWEET!)
  3. You have the awesome taste of coffee-mate mixed with the Nescafe coffee that you've grown to trust!
Cons:
  1. You can't change the strength of the coffee without adding more creamer.
  2. If you like a super creamy coffee, this may not be your favorite.
Overall, I think it's a great idea for people who don't need either super sweet or super strong coffee.  I will probably keep mine for those times when I am out of creamer or when I have company.  If you aren't super picky about your coffee and you need something quick and easy, try it!  I definitely think it's worth a shot :)
