Yum Yum Yum

Want an amazing cup of flavored coffee? I think that I've found the "magic formula" for the perfect cup, full of flavor! Now, I'm not one to take my coffee straight, or black. I like it sweet and I like flavor in it. I'm also not a huge fan of calories or too much sugar. And to top it off, the job of "student" doesn't really pay well. So... I had to get a little bit creative. 

A few months ago, I bought a single-cup brewer. Basically, it's a $5.00 plastic filter, coupled with a disposable filter. It allows me to brew exactly one cup at a time, without any waste or complication. All I do it boil water and pour it through the filter. I have a fresh brewed cup of coffee in less than 3 minutes!

I brew this type of coffee. I love vanilla flavor and have found that it compliments coffee's natural flavor and aroma. It smells delicious!

After I brew the coffee, I add about a tablespoon or two of Coffee-Mate Irish Cream creamer. I either add this or Trader Joe's French Vanilla Creamer. They didn't have a picture for me to add. It makes the coffee so velvety and smooth! No sugar necessary!

The final step in perfect coffee? Adding a teaspoon of some sort of "shot" to it. In my case, I've chosen Hazelnut Sugar Free Syrup. It's delicious without any guilt what-so-ever! Yum!

And there you have it! Coffee without any sort of guilt but with TONS of flavor and personality! Best of all, it's only 2 Weight Watchers points. Score!

  1. Sounds delicious. If I drank coffee I might have to try it. Unfortunately, (or fortunately depending who I'm talking to) I actually hate coffee... more of a tea kind of person...
