    Normal day:

    • Breakfast cereal (my favorite is corn flakes with sliced banana)
    • Oatmeal
    • Eggs and toast (scrambled or over medium)
    • Leftovers (may or may not bother to reheat)

    When I’m feeling fancy:

    • Breakfast burrito
    • Biscuits and gravy
    • Loaded hash browns
    • French toast

    Sometimes I’ll also just be in a weird mood and make dinner for breakfast, just as I often make breakfast for dinner or lunch.

    Usually coffee. Plunger, at least a pot. Otherwise it’s pretty evenly split between vegemite toast, taiwanese green onion pancakes from trader joe’s, or maybe a bagel, granola, shakshuka or left over takeout.

    I grew up outside the country though, hence not being a fan of us style drip coffee which always taste like hay to me.

        without my moka pot

        For. Real. I recently remembered that I have one, which doubled my coffee intake so I’ve been trying to hold back.

        • haha yeahhhh they do make it easy to “accidentally” have way too much caffeine

          sometimes i only half fill the basket with grounds; still comes out strong enough, at least with the very dark roast beans we use

            I thought about that, but was worried that it somehow wouldn’t ‘work’ properly. I physics good. Thanks for the tip!

        Drip coffee is better than percolator* coffee at least, and in my experience far better than keurig as long as you don’t let it burn on “keep warm.” But these days I use my fancy espresso machine. 😎

        *I don’t think anyone under the age of 40 has used a coffee percolator.

    Pot of coffee, a bowl of dried figs, and a few pieces of dark chocolate.

    Then I fire a heater at a porcelain target fast enough to launch a small payload into orbit.

    Either an egg over easy with whole wheat toast, overnight steel rolled oats with fruit and walnuts, or a smoothie with no sugar yogurt, walnuts, and fruit

    I personally tend to have leftovers from dinner if there are any and if it’s leftovers I care about. Otherwise, I’m not a big breakfast fan.

    Well I’m Asian and don’t really do the typical American breakfast. I just eat whatever, leftovers maybe. I’ll have coffee over tea though, so that’s pretty American of me lol

      You and millions of other Americans eating leftovers for breakfast. Since the Mayflower for sure, and probably for centuries before that. Although they probably didn’t have the Breakfast of Champions, cold leftover pizza.

    A few regulars in the rotation:

    • Breakfast sandwich of English muffin or croissant, egg, sausage or bacon, cheese.
    • eggs, hash browns or potatoes, onion, tomatoes, spinach in skillet. With salsa or hot sauce
    • cereal with almond or oat milk
    • Mexican like breakfast tacos or rolled tacos covered in guacamole, pico de gallo, shredded cheese, salsa or hot sauce. If i do a breakfast burrito it’s sometimes too big depending on where it’s from so it’ll save some for later.

    Plus One mug of coffee. I tend to eat a more solid breakfast than those around me
