To some people, coffee is a necessity, something they can't live without. Others thing coffee is just another thing you can buy at the grocery store or a treat you can add to your Starbucks order. For me coffee was never a big thing, I didn't really enjoy it until my junior year of high school hit and it was to the Keurig for me. I used to hate the taste, and would always think it was too strong, even with 3 sugars and a whole bottle of creamer. Now, I look at coffee as something to get me through my morning, or even my afternoon if the first cup isn't enough. This is how I started drinking coffee, and why I love it so much.

My first taste of a coffee that I enjoyed was from Dunkin Donuts, specifically a caramel iced coffee with cream and 2 sugars( this is how my parents would order it). I loved how sweet it was and how it didn't have that bitter taste. I started ordering that every time I would go to Dunkin Donuts and quickly became obsessed.

Once my junior year of high school hit, I was overwhelmed at one point with all my assignments and I had to wake up super early one morning to finish one before school. Well, I decided to make my way over to the Keurig machine and make a cup, most likely Donut Shop. I actually liked it. I was so shocked that the next day I made another( just to make sure the first cup wasn't a bad cup or something).From that day on I have loved coffee and will drink a cup almost every morning. Good thing I have a Keurig in my dorm, I would be lost without it.

Now some of my favorite coffee drinks from Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks are:

1. Caramel iced coffee (Dunkin Donuts)

2. Iced caramel macchiato (Starbucks)

3. Coffee Coolatta (Dunkin Donuts)

4. Java Chip Frappuccino (Starbucks)

5. Mocha Iced Latte (Dunking Donuts)

6. Peppermint Mocha (Starbucks)

Believe it or not, Coffee has some benefits, and can also be a great thing to have while meeting up with an old friend or at a business meeting. Coffee is also good for lowering risk of diseases such as Type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's, and multiple sclerosis.

Whether it's your go-to morning drink, your meet up with an old friend drink, or your treat once in a while coffee is a great thing and comes in so many different types and flavors.
