Good morning, loves! It's a cool {semi} spring morning here in NYC, and I've been relying on my morning cup o' joe to get me ready for the day... To be honest, it's going to be a busy one, packed with exciting projects, like our prep for tomorrow's New York Magazine Weddings Event. Anyway, while I know it may seem a little off-topic to be discussing coffee on the blog today, it really couldn't be more relevant- Without the new TASSIMO T20 by Bosch at the Merci office, we'd be ill-prepared for days like these... A lot less-satiated. A lot less caffeinated. {And a lot more grumpy}. Hmm, not too dissimilar from a busy bride checking things off her to-do list... So naturally, we're thinking of you too.The lovely folks at Bosch have gifted us with a second, brand-spanking new T20 for one lucky, coffee-loving reader... AKA, a reader who doesn't need to be reminded about how crucial this little puppy could be for their newly-wedded nest! After about a week of using the T20, both the hubs and I were hooked {and not to mention a little heavier in the pockets, from not shelling out $5.12 everytime we felt a Starbucks fix coming on}.

Our first coffee date??? Sadly it was Starbucks (he didn't know at the time I HATED starbucks). So I drank water. (Whats really funny? We were downtown and I knew there was a Dean and DeLuca nearby, so I stopped in there for coffee. I wasn't ready to introduce him to Balthazar just yet.)

My FI and I have frequent coffee dates at Starbucks because I really prefer their flavored coffee's to the plain black he drinks at home. Being able to make those same drinks at home would be great.

Our first coffee date was at a local place called the beehive. I'm not much of a coffee person tho so I got chai tea.. now anytime he goes and gets coffee on the weekends he brings me a chai! I'd love to win this so I could make him some coffee drinks!
ReplyDeleteMy fiance and I met in college and we were put into a group for a class project. The first time the group met was at my house and I made a variety of coffee and tea selections for the group members. It was the first time we had ever had coffee together and it was the first time we ever had a conversation!
ReplyDeletewe haven't had our coffee date yet since he just now started drinking coffee!! i was so excited that he did i always thought it was so weird he didn't like it lol

ReplyDeleteBut he was SO cute, I couldn't bear to end the date. ;)
My fiance didn't like coffee when we first met, I've since managed to get him to try it and now love it (the bolder the better)! I think the first time he tried it was at Cafe du Monde in New Orleans.
ReplyDeleteOur first coffee date was at the university library on my work break. We'd been dating a week but now have been together over 5 happy years. :)

ReplyDeleteI think our first coffee date was a study one! I had to study for grad school and he was studying for exams. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteOur first coffee 'date' was the first day we met - we went to a coffeeshop on campus, and he humored me even though he doesn't drink coffee (he got a hot chocolate).
ReplyDeleteMy first coffee date with my fiance was on our second date. We ended our movie date with a coffee shop visit. We went to "The Coffee Society" and enjoyed a Chai tea latte and Mocha.

ReplyDeleteI "liked" Merci New York on Facebook and updated my status to "I just entered to win a Tassimo on Merci New York!"
ReplyDeleteWe drink coffee at home. The first sweet thing he ever did for me was make me coffee before he left for work. He left the pot of coffee, mug, spoon and napkin on the counter with a note written on the napkin that said "i love you"
ReplyDeleteIt was kinda cute, the first time Andrew and I had coffee was right after we met. He asked me to come by and show him pictures from my recent trip abroad. Of course I thought that's what our meeting was all about. But we spent a small percentage of our time together talking about traveling and more of it talking about each other. We totally hit it off and started dating shortly after.
ReplyDeleteI also "liked" Merci on facebook!
ReplyDeleteWe had coffee after our first date of going to the movies and we went to Starbuck's. We are getting married in June.

My fiance and I met working for sister companies on the same floor (25th). In the ground level of our building was a starbucks. We used to make excuses to go downstairs for coffee, myself even buying it for others occasionally so we could meet up downstairs for a "bucks break" as we called it. These days I would prefer to make my own coffee (money saver for wedding), which is why this machine would be such a treat, but at the time we were looking for excuses to meet up, especially because we had not disclosed to co-workers our relationship as of yet.

I showed up to my boyfriend's house with giant takeout cups from Starbucks. It was a cold rainy day and we watch the rain come down on the river behind his house while we enjoyed our coffee (him) and chai (me).

He is a non-coffee drinker (*GASP*), so when he discovered that French Sodas, and how yummy they were ("See, honey, there really IS something for you at a coffee shop!" :-), it was pretty cute. :-)joleehamlin [at] comcast [dot] net
ReplyDeleteOur first coffee date was at a nearby Starbucks. It was a quick date since we both had to get back to work.

ReplyDeleteOur first coffee date was actually not at a coffee shop - we were in university and I was finishing up at my job when he walked over to "pick me up" and hang out with me before taking the bus home, and he brought me a pear tea from the local tearoom. So that was our first "coffee date" :)

I had to think for a long time about our first coffee date. I think the first time we had coffee together we woke up and I made us coffee. He quickly learned how I like my coffee and then took over making it and has always made it perfect (better than I make it for myself honestly)
