Smell the Aroma - FoamAroma Lids (TM)

-





Okay, I'll admit this concept sounds a little "suspect."

A coffee lid is invented with a hole in the center with the primary objective to enhance the coffee lover's experience.

Hmmm.

The first time I tried the lid, I honestly felt that it did enhance my 'olfactory senses.' But I mean, once I put a little cinnamon and nutmeg on my foam, I can't be sure if it's this new 'FoamAroma'(TM) lid that's responsible for what I'm smelling or the cinnamon and nutmeg.

Anyway, I tried it with regular coffee, which is what I usually drink, and to be completely honest, what I found more appealing than the enhanced aroma (since I can't be sure if it was actually enhanced the second time) was the fact that my coffee cooled quicker.

Now that makes it a wonderful new invention. I'm always leaving the house with a commuter mug in hand. When I used a paper cup with the FoamAroma(TM) lid, my coffee didn't spill in the holder, it cooled quicker, but not too quick, and I was able to finish my joe before I got on the train (no drinks allowed on the train).

And, so, I would say, this is a pretty neat lid. I'm not sure if it's going to take hold and you'll find the FoamAroma(R) in every coffee shop across the nation, but you can find it at Guerrilla Cafe, 1620 Shattuck Avenue Berkeley, CA 94709, (510) 845-2233.

The FoamAroma(R) isn't the only reason to go to Guerrilla Cafe if you happen to live in or visit Berkeley, they also serve Blue Bottle Coffee and great food.

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
