To Know Me Is To Mug Me

-




Roses might do it for some girls, but for me, it's all about the mug. And, of course, the coffee.

And what's more special than receiving a new mug for your birthday or holiday? Receiving a new mug just because somebody loves you - and knows what you love.

My sister surprised me last night as we were leaving to go out to dinner. When we drove off in the car, she said, "Hey, look in the back seat, I bought you something." I thought, "Must be a caramel apple." (Cuz I love those too).

Anyway, it was this adorable mug that only a TRUE caffeine-fiend can appreciate.

I squealed with delight.

Because after all, it's the little things that make us the happiest. Am I right?

This mug is so darn cute - and the box is even cuter!!

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.

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
