There Aren't Enough Cups In The Day

-


Wow. There are so many wonderful seasonal coffee offerings right now that it feels like I've died and gone to "Casi Cielo." "Casi Cielo" translates to "almost heaven" and this limited offering from Starbucks definitely is one of my all-time favorites.

The 2010 edition of this Guatemalan coffee has hints of lemon and dark cocoa. Now, quite honestly, I can taste the cocoa but the lemon eludes me. Nonetheless, it's awesome.

Casi Cielo would make a perfect ending to a wonderful meal or can be enjoyed alone which is what I'm doing this morning. Okay, I'm enjoying it with the Sunday paper but my point is you don't need food to complement the coffee because it can stand on its own.

If you've never tried it, do yourself a favor and pick up a pound today. Don't wait because it's only in Starbucks for a short time. Price is 6.95 for an eight ounce bag or 12.95 for the one pound size.

Have a wonderful Sunday!

It's Not Your Mother's Eight O'Clock Coffee - Columbia Single Serve Cup

You may not have noticed, but Eight O'Clock Coffee (which I used to refer to as Eight O'Clock Bean Coffee) has experienced a new attitude. There's new packaging and now there is even an Eight O'Clock K-Cup(R). I enjoy and delight in experiencing artisan roasted coffee and I can ride the "third wave" as good as the next person, but sometimes I just want to remember the way things used to be. So, the Eight O'Clock K-Cup  is the perfect way to enjoy a coffee that's always had a special place in my heart - but with a new twist. All these new single-serve coffees are making me lazy. But, don't worry, I'm an equal opportunity coffee-lover. Here's to the weekend!

All Time Favorite Coffee Jingles

I have consumed a lot of coffee over the last couple of decades, but it's mainly through "trial and error," "word of mouth," or "pure luck," that I found those I've enjoyed the most. And, of course, the folks who reach out and let me know about the great coffees that are out there. But with micro roasters becoming more and more popular, and grocery store coffee being talked about less, even though many supermarket varieties are very good, I can't help but remember some of those jingles and television commercials that remain etched in my mind. Some of my favorite coffee jingles: "Good to the Last Drop" (TM) (Maxwell House) "Richness Worth A Second Cup" (TM) (Yuban) "The Best Part of Waking Up, Is Folgers In Your Cup" (TM) And, last but not least, drumroll. . . .my all-time favorite: "Fill It To the Rim With Brim" (TM) (Brim Decaffeinated Coffee) (special thanks to my sister for remin...
