Artisan Roasted Coffee from Orleans Coffee Exchange

-





Way down yonder in New Orleans, lives some of the finest coffee from El Salvador roasted by coffee artisans who really know their beans.

Years ago, way before gourmet coffee was all the rage, I used to order this wonderful coffee from New Orleans. My favorite blend at that time was the "Cafe Reveille." Hurricane Katrina came through wiped out the plant and office in New Orleans. But you can't keep a good coffee roaster down. They soon rebuilt in Kenner, Louisiana and continue to do what they've done best since 1983, roast and ship great coffee beans.

I checked on them to see how things were going and to reminisce about the good old days and "Cafe Reveille."

Well, "Roastmeister Bob" informed me that "Cafe Reveille" was so last decade! Bob said that while he still roasts a fine batch of Cafe Reveille, that he is also blending and roasting a bunch of other newer coffees which are also great.

He said, "I'll send you something that you're going to love." And he was right. This El Salvador Finca El Porvenir is a medium-roast, slightly sweet and smooth, smooth, smooth.

I made a pot for the troops and it didn't last fifteen minutes!

El Salvador Finca El Porvenir

"Luscious fruity character, tangerine in particular.
Bright and crisp with an apricot aroma."

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
