Rep Your Coffee With The Right Tee

-



A couple of Saturdays ago, I walked into my favorite local artisan coffee shop, "Catahoula Coffee" oblivious to the fact that I was wearing a tee-shirt from one of the big coffee giants. Cut me some slack. It was early. I hadn't had my first cup. I was a little "out of it."

Anyway, Timber, the owner/barista/roastmeister didn't throw me out. He simply asked, "What are you doing???" That's when I realized, I was about to be mobbed. Being the kind soul that he is, and not wanting to see a lady ripped to shreds by a bunch of angry Catahouligans, he ran to the back of the store, handed me a tee-shirt and said, "Quick, put this on!"

I'm sorry for disrespecting the good folks at Catahoula, but I sure am happy with my new Catahoula tee which bears the picture of none other than my favorite coffee-dog, "Lola," who happens to have her own blend here.

If you're not fortunate enough to live near Catahoula Coffee, no worries. You can order their amazing coffee and gear online at:

    Oh, you sure know how to get one of your very favorite coffee houses to recognize and give you a "wear while you're in or near this house" tee shirt!!! What a clever move!! Thanks for sharing info on how to obtain the tee shirt. I am ordering one for a dear friend who has a Great Dane named "Lola"! He will be the envy of San Francisco Dog Dads!

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
