My Constant Companion

-
Wow.  It's cold outside.  So, I'm going to blame the fact that I was talking to my coffee pot this morning on the weather.  Although, I know that's not true.

 I was making my first pot of the day, I realized that I was talking to my coffee maker - literally!

 Lest you think I've lost it (I don't think I've lost it), you have to remember how much I love coffee.  I never intended for today's post to be a love letter to coffee.  It's just turning out to be a love letter to coffee.

 From the moment I grind the beans and measure them out and pour the coffee in the reservoir and press the power button, I'm thanking God for another day and chattering on about my plans for the day.  Before the coffee is even ready, I'm fantasizing about how wonderful that warm mug is going to feel in my hands on this blustery morning and how delicious it's going to taste.

 So, out of respect for coffee, which, except for a few bad blend choices (thankfully that doesn't happen often), I felt compelled to share with you how much joy is found in my morning mug.

 Here's to a Super Saturday!

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
