CONQUISTADOR DARK ROAST from Henry's House of Coffee

-



I was dragging when I got out of bed. I've had the sniffles off and on for the last few weeks and my head felt stuffy.

Shuffled into the kitchen and poured myself a spoonful of Robitussin.

Methodically, made a pot of coffee and waited for it to brew.

Groggily, reached up and grabbed one of my favorite mugs.

Poured myself a cup with one packet of raw sugar and a tiny splash of 2 percent milk.

Sat down to check my emails.

Reached over to my cup. Took and sip. Took another sip.

Turned my attention away from my computer and back to my cup.

Whoa. This is good coffee. Strong coffee. Coffee that sneaks up on you and kick starts your engine.

Magical flavor.

I won't be taking over any countries,l but I am ready to tackle the morning!

(I may have to go back for a second cup)

*The term conquistador mostly refers to a Spanish or Portuguese adventurers who were going to conquer lands in America. (according to Wikipedia)

    This was a famous Monty Python sketch: "Conquistador Coffee brings a new meaning to the word vomit." There was even a free dead dog with every order!

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
