I few years ago my husband and I went on a super strict diet. It was a good thing because we both ended up being much healthier weights. I had a few extra baby pounds to shed and it was a great feeling to get rid of them. Here’s the thing, I am the type of person who has to have some sort of sweet treat in my life. For me, it became coffee with fat free creamer. Truly, it became what I longed for after a meal and first thing in the morning. Now that we are not on that super strict diet any longer I still have the longing for coffee as it has replaced a lot of my sweets eating.
We definitely have a coffee ritual around our house and I have the sweetest end of the deal! You want to meet my coffee date? He meets me every single morning. Sometimes a little sooner than I was hoping for, but it is always a joy to hang with such a handsome and sweet little fellow. You guessed it, it is my Davis {or Davey-Do as I lovingly call him}.
Every morning it’s the same. I wake up, get the boys up, fed and dressed, put the coffee on to brew and then head out the door to drop Graham off for school. When Davis and I return home the house is filled with the wonderful aroma of coffee. Davis is so familiar with the routine that he has gotten in on it. He knows exactly when to come by and flip the on switch and listen to the coffee start percolating and dripping forth. “Mommy, I turn it on” and “Mommy, the water is running” are two phrases I hear every morning.
Once the coffee is ready I grab my cup and we head to his room to play. “Mom, get your coffee and come play,” he says to me.
I sit in his little red chair and watch him cook up imaginary goodness in the kitchen and he comes over to the chair to serve me. Pretty soon he is on to the train table and then the LEGOs. Every day this is our sweet little routine. I couldn’t imagine a better coffee date to share my morning with honestly.
When it comes to purchasing coffee we have tried so many different varieties. Are we “coffee snobs”? Eh. Maybe a little. We have definitely grown to love the whole bean coffee and certain notes in our coffee. For me it is important because it is the difference between indigestion or not! If you have a good cup of coffee your chances of indigestion are slim, or at least that seems to be the case for me.
We recently tried out Tonx Coffee and I have been extremely satisfied! The packaging is fantastic and the beans come to you having been roasted about 24 hours before they arrive! How amazing is that?! It is a subscription coffee service so you don’t have to worry about going out and finding it at the last minute. It arrives bi-weekly and in 2 different sizes (depending upon how much of a coffee addict you are). The best part is that the cost is pretty much equivalent to other name brand coffees that may or may not be roasted just the day before. You can receive a 6 oz bag for $12 or the 12 oz bag for $19. The price includes shipping as well.
Free Trial!
Not sure if Tonx is for you? You can start with a FREE trial sample-size bag just to see what you are missing! Free is always a great deal. Everyone can sign-up for a Tonx free trial (to try the coffee). Just head over to Tonx and sign-up.
Full disclaimer: Tonx will ask for credit card and automatically subscribe users to the lowest monthly subscription unless they cancel. They provide very clear messaging and reminders (via email) before moving users to a paid subscription. They believe that once you try their fresh coffee, you’ll want more!
The Tonx team is made up of experts with years of experience from seed to cup. They know that home-brewed coffee can be just as good as your favorite cafe. It’s not as hard as baristas make it out to be – but it all starts with fresh beans, which you can’t get if you buy bags of beans from grocery stores. Pre-ground coffee is even worse. Great coffee actually has very little to do with fancy gadgets and expensive gizmos.
The best part? Your Tonx Coffee subscription is very easy to manage, and they have great customer service because we appreciate every customer. They will always be transparent with how your subscription is being managed, and it’s very easy to pause, cancel, or adjust your quantity for your needs. If you ever need tips or advice on how to get the most out of your coffee, they are always available to chat.

You know, its the strangest thing, but I went from NEEDING coffee to barely drinking it. But I still love the smell in the morning. LOL. Enjoy your sweet treat! I need one too – mine are york peppermint patties after dinner.
Oooo.. I love york peppermint patties as well! You know, they make that flavored creamer 🙂 It’s just not fat free 🙁
I bet my husband would love this brand I will have to tell him about it he is a whole bean guy too!
Ah.. whole bean makes a world of difference.
Coffee is totally a part of my morning routine, too. I love the idea of a subscription service because then you’ll never run out! And we all know how bad it is to run out of coffee…
OH my goodness! We ran out of filters late one night and Matthew and I were literally like… boys, put your coats on, we have to make a run!
Ohh, you DO have a great morning date! 🙂
I like coffee first thing in the morning and sometimes last thing at night, and there are times I even want it mid-afternoon. Thanks for the info. on Tonx.
What a great coffee date. I haven’t drank much coffee now that I’m on Medifast, but just found out I can have almond milk guilt free (1 cup) so I’ve considered adding this back to my day, especially since I can’t hang like I used to without the caffeine. I’ll have to check out Tonx more! Thanks for this post, I’d never heard of them before.
