My days start early. I’m talking realllllly early….as in 4:30 AM each day. While I’m definitely not a morning person, mornings are my most productive time of the day. I can get so much done before heading to the office and my quiet time in the morning really gets me focused on the day. The introvert in me needs this time alone to get going. Some mornings I like to get in a short run or workout while other mornings I get lots of blog work done. But every morning has one thing in common – I can’t live without my coffee and me time! And to be completely honest here, I’m somewhat of a coffee snob too. McCafe’ helps me start my day!
Since I drink my coffee black and don’t add sugar or flavored creamer, I really look for quality coffee. McCafe’ coffee pods are made with 100% Arabica beans which means it’s premium quality coffee. It’s harvested from some of the foremost coffee-growing areas of the world with rich soils in mountainous regions. But you don’t have to visit these far away regions to enjoy a delicious cup of premium coffee – McCafe’ is now available at Walmart! And there are 8 different flavors to choose from too! I started with the premium roast since I like a medium roast but I’ll be working my way through all 8 flavors soon! Not only is McCafe’ available in pods, they come in bags too so you can brew in your regular coffee pot or reusable pods. I love the flexibility of making either a single cup of coffee or an entire carafe!
Enjoying a cup of McCafe’ is my ideal way to start the day before facing the rest of the day! After a week of work and marathon training, a leisurely Sunday morning with a cup of McCafe’ is a great way to unwind and relax. Sunday mornings are my quality time at home with my husband and my dog. We intentionally don’t schedule anything for Sunday mornings so we can share this time. The rest of the day is filled with grocery shopping and laundry so this time is priceless to me and I look forward to it all week. Coffee is definitely a part of my life and “me” time!
Are you a coffee drinker? What’s your favorite coffee and how do you drink it? How do you get your “me” time and relax and recharge?

December 22, 2014 at 2:48 pmYour Sunday mornings sound amazing! We try to keep our Sundays open too, just so that we have a day that we are not running around like crazy. I love the flexibility of McCafé in either a coffee pod or bag – perfect for those little pick me ups or for company! Thanks for sharing #client

December 23, 2014 at 7:01 pmWow I use my Keurig every day. I would love to brew those McCafe coffees. I have not seen them in my area markets, where did you find those?

December 23, 2014 at 10:57 pmI’ve been considering getting up earlier to work out in the morning and have some “me time”…..this has totally inspired me to do so!!

December 23, 2014 at 11:23 pmI start my morning with a k-cup everyday! I did not realize that they had McCafe coffees! Thank you so much, I will be looking for them.

December 24, 2014 at 7:10 amI drink my coffee with cream and sugar but for this very reason – I usually can’t afford (or don’t splurge on) the best quality coffee so I can enjoy it black. I’ll have to try this. Cheers to us non-morning people who are productive in the morning. 🙂

December 24, 2014 at 9:22 amWowzers, what an early start to the day! I enjoy a little me time in the morning, too, and it typically starts with coffee/tea, and mentally prepping for the day. I do hope that you’ll get to sleep in a bit during the holiday season.

December 25, 2014 at 10:52 pmI’m a coffee person and would always have one to start my day. It’s nice that you can buy your own McCafe for home brewing. It does make it easier to enjoy your cup of coffee.

December 26, 2014 at 8:44 amI like my coffee iced 90 percent of the time, but there is an occasion I’ll go for the warm cup of coffee. I’ll have to look for these K-cups when I go to Wal-mart today.

December 26, 2014 at 8:54 amWow! 4:30 is a really early time for you to wake up every day. Having a good morning coffee would be really important if I had to wake up that early too!

December 28, 2014 at 8:53 amThat is so great, I don’t get morning Me time as my sons are up way early and there is no way in heck I will be waking up earlier than them. I usually end up awake with them and just work my way awake by sipping my coffee amongst their craziness 😉 I need a coffee maker like you have, seems like it would be more quick to use when I am up with the kids so early!
