Looks like you have a workable plan Shasta10!
Regarding the gross result with the cappuccino and coffee.... just some extra ideas --
I use the IP cappuccino or vanilla ready to drink (RTD) to give my coffee the illusion of having cream in it... I manage to get a lot of mileage from 2 cups of coffee (having extra water of course to make up for the extra coffee). I like any of these combinations best over ice. Sometimes I order 2 shots of espresso over ice in a Venti cup at Starbucks and then add half my RTD to have a nice iced cappuccino equivalent... And I have done this with the IP alternative, EAS CarbControl Vanilla drink, too.
I have also made up the vanilla or cappuccino drink mix with water and then used it as a coffee lightener -- I have not tried using coffee as the liquid in the mix, tho I think I saw here in 3FC forum that some folks do that. This might work in a Ninja or Nutri Bullet machine better than trying to mix by hand.
We seem to be closely located -- lemme know if you want to connect up some time.
