Ms. Big Stuff, Who Do You Think You Are?

-



This morning I woke up and dragged myself into the kitchen to find the nightmare of nightmares. The coffee canister was empty! Was this an evil trick someone was playing on me? I NEVER run out of coffee. Do I? Well, it seems today, I had. There were no samples in sight, nothing new to try and all of my favorites had been ground and brewed. Nada. Zip.

Yuban to the rescue! I looked in the pantry and on the top shelf was an unopened can of Yuban. I mean, every cup can't be a micro-roast, right? I got right off my high horse and made a pot of Yuban. And guess what? It's darn good coffee.

So, the next time you're pondering what your new coffee should be - there's a good chance, it might be right under your nose.



It's going to be a wonderful day!

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...
