In Defense of Coffee Consumption

-

The results of a new study on coffee have been released. According to the latest study which refutes the findings of the previous study which refutes the previous-previous study's results which turned the study before that on its head and the beat goes on.

Seems that the Department of Experimental Psychology at Bristol University, led by Peter Rogers, determined that "we don't gain an advantage from caffeine."

Okay, how about I say that I do get an advantage from drinking coffee because guess what? I enjoy drinking it.

Dr. Rogers goes on to say:

"Someone who consumes caffeine regularly when they're at work but not at weekends runs the risk of feeling a bit rubbish by Sunday," Rogers told The Guardian. "It's better to stick with it or keep off it altogether."

Well, that's one bit of advice I'll take from the good doctor. I'll stick with my caffeine habit.

How can you study the effects of waking up to the aroma of coffee wafting through the kitchen? How do you measure the happiness that comes when you pair that cup of coffee with a nice warm scone or a slice of hot buttered toast?

Life is short. Drink more coffee.

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...
