Coffee

I love coffee. Cream, no sugar. And no, not the flavored creamers. I have tried and tried to love those fancy creamers with all kinds of exotic flavors, from French Vanilla to Hazelnut Toffee, from Vanilla Chai Spice to Gingerbread. And I have finally come to the realization that if I really want to TASTE my coffee, it needs to be unadulterated. As it is, real coffee lovers would scoff at my teaspoonful of creamer but hey, I hate black coffee.
That said, it doesn't stop me from buying flavored creamers when I go to the store. Especially when they come out with new ones ever so often. Right now, they have the Christmas/Winter collection like Pumpkin Spice, Gingerbread and Eggnog(?!).
Every morning when I make my coffee, there is a war that goes on inside of me. I look at my cheap powdered creamer and my refrigerated Almond Toffee flavor and inevitably, the cheap one wins. I simply need that kick of pure coffee aroma to wake my brains up. So my Almond Toffee continue to live in the fridge untouched until the expiry date arrives. So can you tell me why I just bought a new bottle of Gingerbread flavored creamer? I guess hope springs eternal.
