Yuban Coffee - Worth A Second Look. . .

-

I would never want to give the impression that I'm a coffee snob, but I do tend to pay more attention to the micro-brewed coffees.

Something about being independently owned and operated appeals to me. I grew up in a grocery store and my parents were the "little guys."

But, today as I was cruising the aisles of Safeway looking for a very hard to find tea (which I won't mention here in case you beat me to it), I stumbled upon a sale too good to pass up!

1.99 for an 11 ounce can of Yuban Premium Coffee!!! That's right - under two bucks for a whole can of coffee! This can normally sells for 4.99.

Most of you probably won't remember the old Yuban slogan, "Richness Worth A Second Cup," - well, I'd say it's "A Bargain Worth A Second Chance!"

I presume it's part of a bigger campaign by Yuban which is now owned by Kraft Foods to grab some of the gourmet coffee market during tough times.

I'll let you know how it tastes, but wanted to get the news out before the prices go up.

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
