Dude, Where's My Coffee?

-

This is the mother of all Mondays. Mondays are always rough, right? Yes, they are. But today my cup has one extra lump of stress.

I have a decision to make and I have to make it fast. Stick with what I know or risk it all for what's behind Door Number Three.

Sometimes there is no easy way out. Life used to be so simple. What happened? Oh, yeah, that's right. I grew up.

Anyway, whatever I decide, I figure that desperate times call for desperate measures.

So, I went into the cabinet, reached way back and pulled out my private stash. Starbucks Jamaica Blue Mountain. In the Chemex. That's right. I pulled out the big guns. Because days like today don't just get better on their own. Sometimes you have to take the bull by the horns.

Wish me luck.

Peace,

Dottie

It's Not Your Mother's Eight O'Clock Coffee - Columbia Single Serve Cup

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
