La COLOMBE Peppermint Mocha Draft Latte(C)

-



How do they do it?!  

La Colombe is an excellently packaged, tastefully sophisticated, aptly labeled,  Peppermint Mocha – Draft Latte.


I thought I would steal a few moments during morning break to try out this new coffee drink, and boy was I surprised and rewarded.  I am what you would call a purist/minimalist, when It comes to my Java, so, I do maybe a dozen or fewer, mixed flavored drinks per year.  When I was asked to try this drink, I took it begrudgingly, to bury it in my office fridge until I found it again, amongst my straight-no-chaser cold brews.  

Today was the day and after reading the slim can over and over, I finally popped the top, leaving the lip guard in place, as suggested.  I took a sip and swallowed fast, just in case (you know) it wasn’t good.  Curiously, I took another sip and then another but had to slow down because I changed to a “savoring” mind set.  I was smitten.  Good stuff man!  

Beautifully blended, not heavy on the Peppermint, and I could actually taste the coffee; which is what I think you should taste in a coffee drink.  Okay, so now, I’m acting like my Peekapoo, walking with a limp and barking and looking for another piece of turkey under the table!  Where do I find MORE?!

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...
