Just Because You're Bored in Quarantine - Your Coffee Doesn't Have to Be - La Colombe Coffee

-


If there's a flip side to Sheltering-in-Place, it's having time to browse the internet for different coffees.

 Coffee-of-the-Day is "Corsica" from La Colombe.

 Going to be honest with you, when I saw the beans in the blue box, I was, shall I say, "underwhelmed."  I'd heard good things about the brand, but the packaging just didn't pull me in. It looked like grocery store coffee (no shade).

 Glad I wasn't so shallow.  It's chocolate and spice and everything coffee-nice.

 And the shipping was free.  Don't quote me on that.  Maybe that was a first time buyer's offer.  At any rate, it's worth a try.  Even if you have to pay for shipping.

 13.00 bucks for a 12 ounce bag of beans.

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
