Coffee On A Stick With Zoku Quick Pop Maker

-


Cake Pops move over. Here come gourmet popsicles in minutes!

Zoku Quick Pop Maker is all the rage. You can create gourmet popsicles that would make the Good Humor Man blush. You can even make what I made - coffee pops!!

While the Zoku Quick Pop Maker is a lot of fun - it's not a toy. You have to really read the instructions first.

It's not rocket science but it is for serious pop seekers. You will want to make sure that you have all the components in one place before you start. Oh, and make sure you carefully read the recipe in the Zoku Quick Pops book before you compile your ingredients.

After I went out and bought a bag of Starbucks espresso roast for the sole intent of making these pops, I realized the recipe says "espresso powder." Duh.

Luckily I had a pack of Starbucks Via on hand and so I substituted the Columbian Via for espresso powder. It actually worked very well.

Here's what you'll need to make "Coffee Buzz" Pops:

1 1/3 cup of 2 percent milk

1/4 cup sugar

2 tbsp instant espresso powder

1/3 cup heavy cream

The pops are super yummy, however, I have a feeling that I'm going to be on high speed for a while today!

You can find the Zoku Quick Pop Maker at Williams-Sonoma. Check the Zoku website to find other retailers or order online:

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
