Have you tried Coffee Mate Zero Sugar creamer flavors? 1 carb per serving, zero sugars. That's what I switched to and I like it quite a bit.
Tried it, and thought it was disgusting.

I like the idea of mushroom coffee but it seems like a scam. Looking into Yerba Mate and might give that a go.

I'm the guy who buys the fancy whole beans tho.
One of us! One of us!
Espresso machine is easily our most used appliance.

It's gorgeous, and isolated. Bit of a hassle to fly there in your private jet I guess, but that's probably the only downside.

Tea is the way to go. I think we talked about tea just a few weeks ago, but my go-to is Harney & Sons. https://www.harney.com/ Whatever you'd try, I'd just encourage you to get good stuff. Don't go to the store and buy Lipton in a box and say you don't like tea
I drink Sencha every morning. It's green and very grassy, pretty bitter. I love bitter things so it's right up my alley. Isn't for everyone, but tea has a very wide range of flavors to pull from. If you like coffee & cream, could try English Breakfast and milk. Earl Gray is high-acid. Lots of different flavored options without sugar.

Nice. What’s your brew set up? I’d imagine buying loose leaf is better but if it’s too complicated to make then I’ll lose interest.

It's super simple. We use tea bags and loose leaf tea. I just eyeball the amount. It takes longer to tie the top of the bag shut than to put the tea in.MissKhriddleton wrote:MikeIsGood wrote:MissKhriddleton wrote:Gonna take the coffee thing a step further and ask if anyone has found another morning beverage to take its place?

Only downside? Not that it's full of Kiwis? Citizenship revoked, Jez!

That sucks. I don't understand whose morale is boosted by being forced to go into the office. Unless you're a manager that needs to have people physically close to you so you can feel some sense of purpose and control.
Productivity? Hell, I get so much more done without being bothered by people dropping by my desk all day.

Our CEO is the definition of anti-wfh. His reasoning never seems to hit home with anyone else and he's fairly condescending about this and other topics.
I don't think he's aware that I, and others, rarely open their laptop after leaving the office and putting their 8 in but have no issue working a little later if at home.
