How Do You Like Your Coffee? Black? Latte? 1 shot of espresso? On September 29th, embrace your vice and celebrate National Coffee Day with fellow coffee-loving moms. (OK, I’m a tea-drinker but can we still celebrate our hot beverages together…)
The kids are back in school (thank goodness!), we still go all out to enjoy our weekends, and extra-curricular kids’ sports are kicking our butts into high gear. These days, nothing says real life quite like a hectic schedule. To keep us busy moms going, we turn to a certain caffeinated beverage that fuels our day – coffee.
Did you know that Canadians consume an average of 2.8 cups a day?
Here are some other interesting statistics about coffee that will keep you brewing the beverage every morning:
- Coffee is good for your memory. A study conducted in Maastricht, Holland found that coffee can combat the forgetfulness that often accompanies aging.
- Coffee helps fight the common cold. Coffee can help cold sufferers feel better faster by relieving the sluggish feeling colds leave behind.
While a great cup of coffee is the perfect start to the day, sometimes our favourite morning ‘jolt’ can leave us wanting to hide under the covers.
- Clothing stains. All it takes is a little drip from your mouth to land on your lap or your chest (stain drips are the worst). OxiClean™ Colour Shield Liquid Laundry Stain Remover features the power of OxiClean™ that reaches deep into fabric fibers to quickly and safely break up and remove stains and keeps colours looking their brightest.
- Teeth stains. Our teeth probably hate us the most for our love of coffee. ARM & HAMMERTM Truly Radiant™ Spinbrush and ARM & HAMMERTM Truly Radiant™ Whitening & Enamel Strengthening Toothpaste are the perfect pair to fight coffee stains and get to a whiter, brighter smile in just 3 days.

I used to get up make coffee and try to wake up, now, after a health scare (one emergency surgery in May and another surgery in July) I get up, go walk , come home and THEN have my two cups ..I like flavored creamer in mine LOL …winter time will be difficult as it regularily gets to -30 C here in SK .
My favorite way to enjoy my morning coffee is in a cup. Hah! Seriously, I love coffee, all coffee, all the time. But normally I use vanilla almond milk in mine or I order an unsweetened latte if I’m out and about.
I bet the vanilla almond milk is a delish addition!
What a wake up call! Glad you are taking care of yourself 🙂
Hmm, I love this! I love my coffee with cream or a flavored creamer. But, I’ll take coffee any way!
I love the smell of coffee but like you I am a tea drinker. So on that day I will drink my hot bevie of tea instead 🙂
I did not know coffee was good for your memory! I’m going to use that one on the husband
I usually have 1-2 cups each day. I must say, I have had yellowed teeth from drinking coffee for years.
Totally agree with the OxiClean! Works wonders! Not to mention, that heart in the coffee is super cute!
I like my coffee any way that I can get it… lol. I stick to one-cup a day, but I can’t skip it. LOL.
That is amazing that so much coffee is being drank in Canada. Great tips to make sure that you enjoy it but still keep stains away.
I drink way too much coffee it seems but not nearly as much as the Canadian average. So maybe I am more in the clear than I thought 😉
Could not live without my coffee but hate the teeth stains so am definitely going to try your tips to keep those whites as pearly white as possible and still drink my morning coffee with lots of cream and sugar!
See, I don’t care for coffee, so for my morning jolt, I just dump a Mountain Dew in a cup of coco. My wife has recently told me to stop this practice because the people at Starbucks are looking at me funny.
I am not a big coffee drinker. However, I can never pass up a fancy flavored coffee drink.
I love to start my day with a French Vanilla cappuccino with an espresso shot. I have one every morning.
I love to have a nice cup of ice coffee in the morning, In the Winter I tend to have a hot coffee more often.
A good strong coffee is my favorite beverage to start my day. Espresso is so delicious and energizing.
I love trying new things with my coffee. I have a bit of an addiction and use caffeine to get throughout my day.
I actually don’t drink coffee. I do know a few that do though. I’ll have to share this with them.
If I don’t get my morning coffee, it is going to be a long day for somebody (usually my husband). I like mine with 3 packs of Splenda and some creamer.
I like decaf coffee with lots of cream and sugar. Coffee has a few health benefits and tastes good. Those are wins.
I love coffee as much as I hate my teeth being stained! I’ve learned to brush my teeth after having breakfast and before bed at night, which reduces the the amount of time coffee will stay on my teeth.
Can’t live without my daily cup of coffee! I drink mine iced though 🙂
This sounds so great, I love different kinds of coffee drinks. Just depends on my mood.
My daughter has been singing the praises of OxiClean. I need to try that!
I love all coffee . I have to say my best cup is made using a single serve pour over drip cup with heated milk and a heated cup !
I like a medium roast with soy milk and stevia in the morning.
I drink my coffee black.
