National Coffee Day Giveaway

Coffee is both my every day favorite beverage and a treat. I am very content with an iced coffee in the morning -- my favorite daily indulgence -- and a nice hot cup almost any time of the day. I do switch to decaf after 2:00 p.m., as I am sensitive to caffeine. But there are days when I want cappuccino or a mocha coffee. I want a "fancy" coffee, but I am loathe to pay fancy coffee prices. I want the flavor, the foam, but I do not want to pay more than five dollars a cup for my treat. Living in New York there are lots of fancy coffee places to tempt me, including one that I pass going to work and coming home from the subway. It is a temptation, but I can't see spending twenty-five dollars a week on coffee treats. 

I was delighted when my buddies at Nescafe gave me the opportunity to try Nescafe Memento.  I was a little wary at first. How could a small paper container mixed in hot water give me fancy treat taste? I was given several flavors, including mocha, caramel and cappuccino. I heated the water and then I mixed the coffee and flavoring. I saw lots of foam, but of course, the test is the flavor and it was good. Actually it was very good and I am particularly taken with the mocha. I got my fancy coffee taste at a very affordable price. 

In honor of National Coffee Day -- I celebrate this day every day! -- I am delighted to do a Memento and natural bliss giveaway. There is one first prize,  a package of Nescafe Memento Cappuccino (with eight packets), a coupon for natural bliss and a Memento coaster, and four second prizes, a coupon for natural bliss. The entry is simple. Just leave a comment with your favorite way to drink coffee, and please be a friend of Buttercup's. I will pick five names next Saturday and the winners will be announced in a post on Sunday, October 7.    

Wishes for a sweet, sweet Sunday!

My favorite cup is my first cup of the day, it could be just plain old Maxwell House in my Cuisinart. The aroma as it is brewing wakes me up and I decide between egg whites, or oatmeal, or gluten free pancakes. I feel my soul awakening after that first cup, and look forward to traveling thru Blogland while I sip the 2nd cup. xo

I am an all day coffee drinker, but my favorite is still that very first sip of freshly brewed coffee early in the morning. I simply sit and savor my first cup before beginning my devotions with the second cup. These sound unique - I'd love to give them a try. Maybe I'll win the first prize!!!

Once a week, we treat ourselves to one item from the bakery to enjoy with a late afternoon cup of coffee!

You and I have another thing in common - I love coffee. I just drink two cups a day though. Hope you have a wonderful Sunday.

Theresa said...

I am sitting with my morning coffee, I enjoy it SO much! I like it smoking hot:) Have a blessed day dear friend, HUGS!

Ms Sparrow said...

I am a coffee purist--I like it with no flavorings or additives. As a youngster, I liked the smell of coffee but when I tasted it, the flavor did not match the fragrance! I had a hard time adjusting the two.
Anyway, I decided that I didn't need anything in my coffee to add calories to I learned to like it black and I'm sticking to that!

I boycott Nestle' products because they are still promoting the use of baby formula in third world countries. Here is the information:

Mevely317 said...

Mine? Strong and often! :)
I ALWAYS drank mine with cream and sugar until a business dinner years ago when there were no "additives" on the table and I was too bashful to ask. Hmmm, this isn't so awful after all!

I love Starbucks' specials, but only "allow" myself a once/year visit. You're right.... That daily habit is too expensive for this gal.

Nellie said...

My favorite way to drink coffee is black, no sugar, with dessert. It does have to be decaf, though, particularly if it is in the evening.

I hope you are having a good Sunday!

Susie said...

Sign me up sweet Buttercup...I love coffee. I like it black in the morning or with meals..but when I have it as a treat, I like french vannila flavor or carmel..we have pumpkin flavors at times. Yum... now I wish I had one. Smiles, Susie

Coffee is the smell I woke up to each morning and fell asleep to at night. I love coffee .. black .. or with cream and sugar .. cold or hot. It brings back memories of parents who welcomed friends and strangers into our home with buns and coffee. There was always time to sit and visit over a cup of coffee. :)

Hubby got me a Keurig yesterday and I've already discovered more coffee flavors than i knew existed! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Iced Hazelnut in the a.m. with 3 splenda and 1 extra shot of cream. After that what ever I feel like putting in the Kcup holder :)

Hello Buttercup Sweetie...
I am not a coffee drinker. I love to smell it brewing, but it just has never enticed me enough to give it a try.

Tony loves his with a little cream and sugar. He says I make a mean pot. I guess that is good. I will have to give this a try.

Hope you are doing well sweet friend. Many hugs and much love, Sherry

My favorite type of coffee is in a IV drip! I live off of coffee.. I have it everyday, all day up til I go to bed. The ONLY reason I even want to get up in the mornings is because I know a steaming hot cup of coffee is waiting for me... And having my sexy husband BRING it to me, EVEN BETTER!!! I prefer Folger's Black Silk but any decent coffee will do in a pinch. Google friend!!!

My favorite way to drink coffee is from an easy k-cup with a packet of splenda and some creamer. I don't leave myself enough time to drink coffee before work ever, but I pretty much always have a couple cups after I get to work.
