The Cadillac of Kettles - Capresso's teaC100

-



I received my Capresso teac100 Kettle about a month ago.**

I wanted to give it a thorough "test drive" because I was afraid that I would be so "smitten" with the looks,  I couldn't give an objective review.


However, I can honestly say that this kettle not only looks good, so far, it's sturdy and works very well.  It's much sturdier than I expected.  At first, I was afraid to use it. 

Also,  I don't have much counterspace, but this kettle is compact and easy to handle.  (Get it, handle?)

Seriously, as you know, I'm a coffee girl.  But, with fall upon us and the need to seriously wind down in the evenings, a cup of tea is becoming more a part of my nightly ritual.  And it's pretty good for you too.

I was super excited to receive a sample pack of DAVIDs Tea at exactly the same time I received my new teac100.  A match made in heaven.

And if you're "tea-challenged" like me and not really certain how hot your water should be, this kettle is ideal.   

Sells for about 99.00.

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
