Happy National Coffee Day!

In honor of National Coffee Day (Sept. 29), we are sharing our staff’s favorite ways to enjoy the nation’s favorite beverage. 

DONNA LETIER, CEO & CO-FOUNDER

Caramel Vanilla Cream by Green Mountain Coffee, sitting outside on a patio next to a beautiful garden, listening to a great podcast.

JULIE EGGERS, CFO & CO-FOUNDER

I’m a tea drinker, but if I were choosing coffee, let’s go with Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew or a quality light roast, heavy on the cream, after a great dinner!

DOUG PLATTS, COO

A hot, dirty, chai latte

Not a fan of cold coffee – unless it is an espresso martini, and then I’m with Lana!

LANA CONSTANTINE, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT

TEA ONLY—  don’t laugh! I’ll have an espresso martini but that’s the only way I’ll drink coffee.  Sorry not sorry!

KELLY WATERMAN, CORPORATE SALES LEADER

This isn’t exciting or very “cosmo,” but my favorite coffee is from HEB– Café Olé Texas Pecan.

ELLIE LEMAK, GRAPHIC DESIGNER

Iced Oat Milk Latte

TIERNY SCHRAMM, SOCIAL MEDIA, MARKETING & CUSTOMER SERVICE

Cinnamon vanilla iced coffee with coconut milk

CARA KERSHNER, GROWPRO CUSTOMER SERVICE LEAD

Not a coffee drinker- I like tea, turmeric lattes or decaf chai lattes.

ANNE TALBOT, OPERATIONS TEAM

I like sugar in my coffee (yes, I said it!). I’ll take it with extra sugar and a splash of cream. 

RACHEAL GASKELL, OPERATIONS TEAM MANAGER

I like a lavender oat milk latte. 

ELLIE SKOCHDOPOLE, WRITER, MARKETING

I only drink decaf! My go-to at-home coffee is an iced decaf latte with coconut almond milk, and sometimes I add in some vanilla, coconut, or almond extract for a little extra kick. 

MAX BOSWELL, MARKETING

I keep it simple: black coffee. I used to own a supplement company, so I measure the milligrams of caffeine. 

KENNEDY UPTON, MARKETING INTERN

My favorite is an iced hazelnut latte!
