If You Don't Know "BOKAR," You Don't Know Beans!

-



Eight O'Clock Coffee says their Bokar Blend is, "A select blend of 100% Arabica coffee beans, named for two famous coffee-producing areas in Colombia: Bogota and Cartagena. When ground extra fine, makes a spectacular espresso. Available in 12 and 36 oz. bags of whole bean coffee."


I ground mine in my Capresso Burr Grinder, on a number one (finest grind), and then brewed it in my Capresso Coffee Maker. I used one scoop per cup and it was wonderful!

A 12-ounce bag retails for 5.99. That's a great value for a great coffee.

This particular blend is hard to find, so I recommend ordering directly from the Eight O'Clock Coffee website.

    Thanks for sharing this really, really special tip. I didn't know beans about Bokar! The price sure fits my pocketbook this weekend - I'm somewhat financially challenged at the moment. As the saying goes, at this price I can have - "High Class on a Low Budget!" I'm always down for a pound of coffee that is good quality and leaves enough change in my jeans to buy ingredients to make tasty "crumpets" for unannounced weekend coffee affectionados who "just happened to be in the neighborhood."

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
