Starbucks Mobile Ordering App Revisited

-

Remember, what I said a while back about how I felt that mobile ordering was ruining the coffee shop experience?

 Well, forget about it.  I've had a change of heart.

 Or, rather a change of schedule.

 Now instead of seeing the mug as "half empty," it appears to be "half full."

 It seems that when I make best use of my morning break time, the mobile ordering app is a lifesaver.  So easy to use and it's a breeze to run downstairs to Starbucks and pick up my Americano with a small splash of soy.  My new favorite.

 However, when I'm out running errands on Saturday morning, and walk into a Starbucks location, I tend to get annoyed when the line is out the door because the baristas are preparing mobile orders for people who work weekends.

 I just have to learn to be more patient.

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...
