A Little Cream In My Coffee

-



The other day in Starbucks as I was putting my one packet of raw sugar and low fat milk in my coffee, a little bell went off in my head. I thought, "Who am I kidding?" I never enjoy real cream in my coffee because I don't want the extra calories. And I know that I don't need the cholesterol. But, considering I'm really never on a diet, although I do try to sometimes watch what I eat, and I'll never wear a bikini again, why not enjoy a little cream in my coffee?

So, yesterday while grocery shopping, after I grabbed the 2 percent milk, I also dropped a tiny little carton of half and half into my basket. I mean a little drop of cream never killed anybody. Right?

And besides, it's Sunday. I owe it to myself.

Put some real cream in your coffee. Life is short and we'll never get out of it alive.

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
