Thinking Outside of the Box (Pun Intended)

-




Today I did something different. I took my doggie for a nail trim and afterwards, instead of running into Starbucks for the familiar, I turned into Jack In The Box (TM) for a cup of their "Kona" Classic coffee.

I spilled a little on me and my car because my dog gets very excited meeting new people at the drive-thru. He jumped into my lap just as the woman was handing me my coffee. I can say this - their coffee is hot!

At around a dollar for a small, it's definitely not a bad cup of coffee. And while I'm sure the fine print says that it's a Kona blend, it's definitely NOT Kona.

But, it's decent, it's quick and it's fresh. And, yes, I would definitely buy it again.

    Well, you knew you were driving thru a Jack-In-The-Box when you drove up in there:):):. It's fast and hot - but it still leaves you having to have a real cup of coffee. It will do to take the edge off of a "Coffee Jones" - kind of like comparing Hi-C with Kool Aid. Drink it because it's what's being served at the buffet.

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
