Ebony and Ivory Living Together In Perfect Harmony In My Cup

-


Good news. Big Mike is on the road again. And you know what that means. More coffee, more coffee, more coffee!

So, Big Mike blazed through Charlotte, North Carolina for one day where while perusing the "NODA" District, he lands at "Smelly Cat Coffeehouse." I know. Strange name.

Anyhow, he picks up a bag of Sumatra/French Roast Blend Coffee. First of all, it smells amazing. I'm talking in the bag, before you even grind the beans and brew them. I make a pot this morning. Perfect Harmony is all I can think. It's bold, but it's not bold. It's mild, but it's not mild. It's just GREAT coffee.

You figure that anybody who has the nerve to name their coffee "Smelly Cat" must be pretty confident in their beans. And with good reason.

If you don't live near Charlotte, give them a ring, I'll bet they'll ship you a bag!

    It's actually the NODA district near North Davidson. Pretty cool place, I like it.

    Thanks, Ann! I changed it. I transposed the letters. Guess, I hadn't had enough coffee when I wrote it :)

    It's really good 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
