"Feather In Cap" Espresso Blend from Path Coffee Roasters

-


Like I said in my previous post, you just can't expect to get your good coffee news on the TV or radio these days.

 I'm grateful to the folks at Path Coffee Roasters in Port Chester, New York for turning me on to their micro roasted artisan coffee.

 The first blend I tried was the "Feather In Cap" Espresso Blend.

 I have to admit that the first time I tried it, it didn't really do it for me.  I think I was so preoccupied with getting ready for work on the day I had it, that I somehow didn't take the time to "smell the coffee," and allow the flavors to congregate on my palate.

 But this morning, while sitting at my computer, taking my time, and sipping on this cup of "Feather In Cap," I'm pleased, delighted and thrilled to report - it's a winner.

 "Feather In Cap"

 Region:  Central America, Africa, Indonesia

 Notes:  Brown Sugar, Currant Buttered Toast

 It is much lighter in appearance than I expected from an espresso roast and it's a delicate flavor.  I think I was expecting something more robust.  But it's absolutely pleasant and I could drink at least two cups at one sitting without pause.

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...
