Sitting, Sipping, Reminiscing on a Sunday with Dunkin' Donuts Coffee - The Good Life

-

My mind has been known to wander.  Especially when I'm immersed in a good cup of coffee.

 Last night, I grabbed a bag of Dunkin' Original Blend Coffee beans from the shelf at Target.  In part, because I was killing time while waiting for my daughter who was buying shampoo.  Which, for her, can take a really long time.  In part, because I'm anxiously anticipating Dunkin' Donuts west coast expansion.  

 As I'm sitting here this morning with my freshly brewed cup, in a very quiet house, I recalled the first time I tried Dunkin' Coffee.  It was long before you could just go online and order it up.  I had read an article in Marie Claire magazine about how Dunkin' Donuts coffee was one of the best kept secrets around.  

 I had to try it.  I scoured the internet and found a shop in New York to ship me a few bags.  

 And that's where it all started.

 I'm happy to say that this morning's cup was just as good as I remembered from all those years ago.  

 I'm sure my fancy Capresso coffeemaker helps.  And being alone with my thoughts enhances the experience.

Cheers.

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
