"Un, Deux, Trois"*

-


I've been waiting for weeks for this annual offering. Starbucks Three Region Blend. I was pretty excited last week, when they started brewing it for the bold selection at my local Starbucks.

I had a mid-morning cup every day this week. It was so good that I had to pick up a bag of beans to brew at home. Can you say dark? Can you say delicious?

Starbucks Three Region Blend. A limited offering. What are you waiting for? Go get yourself some - now!

From Starbucks:

Combining the finest beans from each of the planet’s three coffee-growing regions – Latin America, Africa/Arabia and Asia/Pacific – this is a blend that’s all about timing. We have to wait for the precise moment when the coffee from each of these regions reaches their peak of flavor and freshness. Then, without letting one region overpower another, we carefully blend them to create distinctly harmonious layers.

As you sip, notes of lemon and current come to life, balanced by a lush bouquet of flowers and herbs. It’s a global cup, celebrating the finest coffee flavors the world has to offer.


*"Un, deux, trois" (English translation: "One, Two, Three") was the French entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1976, performed in French by Catherine Ferry.

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
