CONTEST CLOSED! CONGRATS TO THE WINNER
Anyone in the mood for a really good giveaway?
As many of you know I don't do a lot of 3rd party giveaways unless the prize is something big and good. I LOVE to give my fans really good gifts. I'm just not into small little gifts that make you go thru hoops of posts, tweeting, and facebooking--I hate that.
The wonderful folks at Guylian Chocolates contacted me back in winter about a giveaway and I asked them to come back to me when they had something fabulous to giveaway. And just a couple days ago they contacted me again with this giveaway. It is a GOOD one. Check this out.

«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 420 Newer› Newest»I like my coffee with one Splenda...and a chocolate croissant on the side!
Hot or cold, with light vanilla soy milk and a hint of sweet :)
I am a FB fan of Vanilla Sugar. I like my coffee with a little milk.
Dang girlfriend! You really know how to do a giveaway. This one is super super sweet. I'm not super fussy when it comes to coffee. But my hubs like his made with freshly ground beans (yes - we grind everyday) in a French coffee press with steamed evaporated milk and raw sugar. It's quite delish.
Unfortunately, I am not on Facebook. But I am such a fan! I read your blog every time you update! That being said, when I drink coffee, I like a good vanilla latte. Yay! Good giveaway, indeed!
I like my coffee with half and half, that's it. I don't know what it is around here (Georgia) but when you order a coffee with "cream only" they look at you like you have a third eyeball. "You don't want sugar?" No. "You don't want flavor?" No. "You don't want whipped cream?" NO NO NO NO NO.
What a fantastic giveaway!
How do I like my coffee? Fresh ground, 170 degree water, through my Aeropress, with just a dribble of cream. Delicious!
In like my coffee dark, strong and sweet!! I am an addict and am always in search of a great cup! :)
I'm already a FB fan, so here's my coffee comment. I generally take my coffee with cream and some sweetener. Usually piping hot, but in the summer I sometimes make an iced coffee for the morning commute. Oh, and does coffee ice cream count? :-)
Hot with soy milk and a little bit of sweetness! A piece of really dark 86% dark chocolate on the side :-)
Black coffee with a piece of chocolate to enjoy with it
I like my coffee with cream and sugar. I prefer a good latte!

I'm a fan on facebook.
I like my coffee iced=) with a splash of cream for substance!
I prefer my coffee freshly ground with just a touch of half and half.. Add a little sweet treat, and its just about the best way to start the day.
I'm a latte junkie, but I also enjoy sipping a plain shot of espresso. Yum!
Good giveaway! I like my coffee with cream and sugar. Or a latte is good too.
I was thisclose to buying one of these in William's Sonoma last week. I like my coffee with a little bit of non-dairy creamer and agave! Oh, and it's got to be served in an oversized mug - filled to the brim.

I never thought to put them in coffee though!
How dino like my coffee? I LOVE my press, dark roast, double strength. Then I will put a good hit of heavy cream in there, and chase it up with some Stevia. I like to sometimes put some Xbrut Dutch processed cocao powder, or even some cassia bark sometimes.
Man, I would rock this giveaway, that is for Sure!

Capucino with a little vanilla syrup and a dusting of nutmeg
Black!
I love an Americano with a splash of cream and a splenda...and a piece of chocolate cake!
I like the coffee I surprise my starving-sound-engineer boyfriend with. He pulls literal all-nighters in the studio making awesome music and deserves good coffee. He takes it a bazillion ways, too, so it's great to experiment with flavors and things. But most important is fast and yummy. It HAS to be both because of his schedule (and mine as a soon-to-be law student!)
I like the blueberry mountain k-cup coffee with 2 packets of splenda with fiber.
I enjoy espresso with chocolate and whipping cream...maybe not at breakfast every day. I have liked you on FB; look forward to your posts. Thanks for offering this give away.
I like mine with skim milk and a flavoring of raspberry!
No frills here, just plain black coffee...but it needs too be quality coffee brewed properly to ensure being able to actually taste the coffee...not hot brown water for me!
Awesome giveaway! :) My husband is the big coffee drinker in our house, but when I do drink coffee...milk and sugar are must haves!
I love you on FB, twitter and everyday! My favorite way to have coffee is a skim latte with a splash of vanilla or hazelnut if I am going to splurge! What a great giveaway!
Latte with a sprinkle of cinnamon
Living on the southeastern coast of Texas, we like our coffee cold-brewed and heavily iced. Dash of half-and-half and a splash of flavor. Good to start the day!
Cheers,
*Heather*
Rich and Strong, like my husband.
Haha! just kidding.
I don't really drink coffee, but the rare time I do, it's with sugar and a little bit of cream or a lot of skim milk.

I live a little bit of brown sugar in my coffee. It gives it a smoky, not too sweet flavor!
I am pretty simple. Vanilla latte with skim milk. Repeat several times a day.
I don't want to hide the coffee awesomeness so I like mine just slightly sweetened or flavored with caramel, vanilla, chocolate or hazelnut!
I would die to win this giveaway--I've yet to find a coffee maker within my budget that would fit underneath my cabinets and it looks like this would one do the trick! I need to stop spending money buying my daily pick up.
