Throw Your Hands In The Air - If You're A True Player - Coffee Player, that is

-

It's the little things that make me happy. Like this morning when I went into Starbucks and ordered the Breakfast Special (Sausage sandwich and a tall coffee for 3.95). I usually get the Greek Yogurt, but today, I was feeling "meaty."

Anyway, my sandwich was warm, but not too hot when I bit into it and then when I picked up my cup to take a sip of my Espresso Roast, to my surprise, Starbucks has a new cup.

And this is not just a new cup - this is a new, cool cup. It reads:

"We Don't Just Want to Make Your Drink, We Want to Make Your Day."

And on this cup is a picture of the "Coffee Siren" with one hand up in the air holding a up with the letter "S" on it.

So. . .it seemed to me that she was borrowing a line from Notorious B-I-G, "Throw Your Hands In the Air, If You're A True Player!" Coffee player.

Have a great day!

    Makes you ready to tackle the day!!! Siren could even be a spinoff of the Statute of Liberty holding up "the torch" - to light up your day!!! I'm on my way to "feel the spirit" with my first cuppa java for the day!!! I am looking forward to holding the new cup w/an "I can do this!" attitude.

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
