Confessions of a Coffee Lover (I've been "seeing" a Nespresso)

-



I have really gone back and forth about whether or not I should mention something here.

But, I feel like we've become close enough over the years, that I shouldn't be holding back.

I've been seeing a Nespresso.

I didn't set out to cheat on my favorite whole bean and microroasted coffees.  It kind of just happened.  Blame it on the pandemic.

My affair has been going on for over a year.  That was when my daughter gave up her apartment in the city and moved in here.  

It was easy enough at first to pretend that the Nespresso didn't exist.  

I never touched it.  Didn't know how to use it and had no interest in learning.  Of course, I'd had Nespresso before, but I'm a true coffee lover, which means that I don't do Nespresso.  That's like drinking diet coke.  You either go big or go home.

Those frothy creations started to catch my eye and one afternoon, not wanting to take the time to make a pot or pour-over, I caved in.

Don't worry.  I'm not beyond hope.  I'm not "nespresso-ing" day and night.  But I do partake of the occasional cappuccino.  Okay, sometimes it's a full mug of coffee.

I'll never leave my true roasts for good, but I just thought it was important to be transparent with you.

If you can't trust a coffee lover, who can you trust?

    I’ve wanted to try Nespresso for years. I’m just afraid I will fall in love with “The Bad Boy” of coffee makers and need to go to a therapist to continue my committed relationship with small batch roasts that my kid picks up for me during travels. Once you cheat the first time, the second time is easy.

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...
