Starbucks Kati Kati Blend - There are no coffee problems, only coffee solutions!

-

I'm pretty good about knowing when Starbucks is due for a shipment of seasonal coffees.

 So, when one of my all-time favorite Kati Kati blend didn't surface in stores, I became alarmed.

 After asking at countless Starbucks when it was due and getting a variety of responses from "what is that?" to "that's a seasonal coffee," I had to take matters into my own hands.

 I called the Starbucks customer service number and found out that Kati Kati was only available online this year and that there was none in stock.

 Say what???!!!

 This left me with no choice.

 I turned to that "black market" of hard-to-find Starbucks coffee.  Amazon.

 Within amweek, I had a half pound bag of Kati Kati in my hands (albeit at a premium).

 And even though the expiration date says that it's only good for another week or so, considering how much I love this stuff, I don't think it will last that long.

 There are no coffee problems, only coffee solutions.

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...
