Green Mountain Breakfast Blend K-Cup(R)

Image
I'm really enjoying K-cups a lot more than I did before. I've always thought they were a novel idea, convenient, and no mess. But, there are SO many varieties now that there's something for everyone's taste. This morning, I'm drinking Green Mountain Breakfast Blend . Now, I prefer something a little darker (that's just my preference), but I must admit, that this is a good first cup. I mean, after all, it's Saturday and my battery only needs a little charging to feel my way to the laundry room, right? There's more to choose from at Cross Country Cafe (A select distributor of K-cups(R) and Keurig(R) brewers). www.crosscountrycafe.com

A Review for K-Cup (R) Lovers

Image
There are so many different "pockets" of the coffee community. Who knew there was an "e-cafe" that specialized in providing K-Cups(R) to Keurig lovers. Cross Country Cafe offers a variety of different K-Cups to fit your Keurig Brewer. I'm delighted to present to you "Newman's Special Blend" (EXTRA BOLD/TRES INTENSE) . One of the few drawbacks for me of the Keurig is that sometimes the coffee just isn't strong enough. Not the case with this blend. I also love the convenience on mornings like these when I'm the first one up and I'm not ready for a full pot or I don't have time to drink more than one cup. Although, I have to admit, this one is so good, I might go back for seconds. CROSS COUNTRY CAFE ("An ecafe for coffee enthusiasts featuring Keurig Kcups www.crosscountry.cafe 1-888-774-6939

Every Little Thing Is Gonna Be Alright!* 100% Ethiopia Yirgacheffe from Marley Coffee

Image
I've been drinking this 100% Ethiopia Yirgacheffe all week. And thanks to Marley Coffee , Friday is so close I can almost touch it! I swear this is good stuff. No lie. Marley coffee describes it as "exotic floral and berry notes that tantalize your palate." To me, it's the perfect roast - not too dark - but dark enough - smooth - I could swear I taste some chocolate in here, and it's so good that not only do I drink a cup in the morning, I bring a thermos of this stuff to work and I'm going to get an early start on my weekend chores with a cup tonight. Marley and Me. It's all good. 8.99 for an eight ounce bag. Small price to pay for a half-pound of pleasure. (*From Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds")

It Was Friday Night And I Was Hanging Out, Looking for A Place to Party

Image
What's better than Friday at 6 p.m.? Well, Saturday morning is pretty cool. But, there's such a feeling of freedom when you're facing two whole days away from the grind (get, it "grind?"). Anyway, my sister and I decided to hit the City. Cruising down Valencia Street and what do we see? A Ritual Roasters sign big as can be! We make the block three or four times. And find a perfect spot and it's free to park. Not even a dime. The barista was great, but I didn't get her name. She poured us two cups of Monte Rey Carrizal Costa Rica . Friday nights will never be the same (well, I had to rhyme, didn't I?) It's on! Enjoy your Saturday.
