My Nephew Went to Vancouver. . .And I Got A Pound of Coffee - MUCH Better Than A Tee-Shirt!

-


Remember - be kind to the children for when you are old they will buy you gourmet coffee and when the time comes (hopefully), they will visit you at the nursing home.

I'm such a lucky duck. I have a nephew who is a world-traveler and fortunately for me, he never forgets his dear old aunt. That would be me - the coffee addict.

I found on my doorstep yesterday, the cutest red bag in which was a pound of GUATEMALA PALHU HUEHUETENANGO which just turns out to be some of the best coffee I've had in a while.

I looked up the website for the coffee shop, CAFE ARTIGIANO - tres chic. And the coffee is ottimo!

Thanks, Mike!

    Swell aunties hold a special place in the hearts of nieces and nephews. Congratulations! You must have mastered the art of being a "swell auntie" when your nephew was growing up. The next time I cruise to Vancouver, I will make it a point to stop at CAFE ARTIGIANO for a freshly brewed cup of coffee. Thanks for the tip.

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
