PEET'S HOLIDAY BLEND

-


It only happens once a year. 

And that's why holiday blends are so special to me.  If I could get them all the time, I don't think I'd appreciate them as much.

This year's batch of Peet's Holiday Blend is especially nice.  It's Kenyan coffee and not as dark as the Holiday Blends of some years past.  Although, to be honest, I can barely remember what last year's holiday blend was like.

Nonetheless, this one is good.  You know, I'm into the chocolate-coffee tones and this one has it.  

Peet's is good coffee, although I will admit, I don't like it all the time.  Sometimes it's just too strong for me.  But that's just my personal opinion.  I drink it maybe once a week.  However, since this blend is only going to be around for a short time, I might have a couple of cups a week.  

This is the first holiday blend I've had this year, but I have a feeling it will be high on my list of favorites.

And, there's a good chance, I'll pick up a couple of pounds for gifts.

I was going to wait until December 1st to start the holiday posts, but what the heck - 'tis the season!


16.95 a pound.  Available in all Peet's Stores and online.  Also at select retailers.  Check the Peet's website for details.

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
