A Nice Caffeine Boost With a Shot of Vitamin C

My pick of the day:

PINE MOUNTAIN COFFEE MANDARIN CHOCOLATE

Before you say, "no," give it a try.

I thought that it would taste like those chocolate jelly orange stick candy things that my Great-Aunt (God Rest Her Soul) used to try to force us to eat as kids - but surprise - it's a very mild flavor.

Here's what people who tried it said:

"This stuff is awesome."

"It's a really subtle hint of flavor which is nice." :)


Thanks to Mary for picking this up for me while she was at the Mandarin Orange Festival in Placerville this past weekend.

If you don't live near Placerville, give them a call. I'm sure they'd be happy to ship some to you!

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.

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
