Coffee and a Woman of a Certain Age

-


I'll admit it. I'm biased. I tend to favor coffee drinkers. Tea drinkers are cool too. But, what do you think of a person who drinks neither coffee or tea? Honestly, I think they're a little odd.

I met a woman who seemed perfectly nice on the surface. She really did. We were about the same age and initially it appeared that we might have a connection. Then I suggest we meet for a cup of coffee. She said, "I don't drink coffee." I said, "Well, you can have tea." She replied, "I don't drink tea either." I said, 'Well, what do you drink?" She said, "Nothing." Game over.

Really, I mean, really? A woman of a certain age who drinks nothing? And I'm not talking about alcoholic beverages. First thing I wonder is "How in the heck do you wake up?" Second thing, I think is, "You're up to something and I don't trust you."

Even if she were a "health nut" which judging from her appearance, she didn't seem to be, wouldn't she have a cup of herbal tea at night to relax?

Bottom line - if you don't drink anything, then you're up to something. Do you think she's an alien?

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
