"Coffee From Paradise" - San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers, September 23, 2009

-



I've always considered good coffee to be like "Paradise In A Cup," and I guess I'm not alone.

Check out the release below from the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers regarding their event this coming Wednesday evening.

What a wonderful "coffee break" from the work-week. It's like taking a vacation without leaving the City!



Coffee from Paradise
Wednesday, September 23rd, 6 – 7:30pm
San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers - Golden Gate Park
(415) 666-7001


Join Pualani, Kaipo, and Maile Daniels, co-owners of Triangle J’s4 Coffee on the slopes of Hualalai in Kona, Hawaii for a quick (and very affordable) trip to Aloha land. The Daniels grow, harvest and roast pure organic Kona coffee. Pualani will take you through the growing cycle of the coffee, explain the various stages of preparing and roasting the beans, and of course, you will sample the luscious rich pure organic Kona coffee.

Pualani, Maile and Kaipo will also entertain you with traditional Hawaiian song and hula accompanied by ukulele and guitar.

Sister Maile, an adored hula competitor, will mesmerize you with her dancing to songs which have won her many competitions. Maile has danced all of her life and, while she loves competition, most of all she loves the gracious art of the Hawaiian culture.

Please come and enjoy this festive “evening in paradise” and the Daniels family will captivate you with song and Aloha.

Luau wear encouraged. Our tropical jungle is calling.

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
