Hey, I'm Only Human - I Want to Experience a Little "Bliss" Now and Then

-



What would you say about a coffee blogger who blogs about gourmet coffees, coffee makers, coffee equipment, apparati and all the latest stuff and has been known on occasion to use a little Coffee-Mate (R)  in her coffee?

 Would you think less of her than if she only used natural products like milk or soy?

For months, I've been passing by the Coffee-Mate Natural Bliss in the supermarket dairy case.  Now, I would never consider the flavored stuff like Hazelnut, etc., but come on, are you trying to tell me the words "Sweet Cream" don't appeal to you?

Alas, I could no longer resist.  Picked up a bottle this past weekend.

Brewed up a pot of freshly ground coffee on Monday morning and said, "What the heck?  Life's short."

I did it.  Used the Natural Bliss "Sweet Cream" Coffee-Mate(R).  And, you know what?  I'm not sorry that I did.

To be completely honest, I enjoyed it.  So much so that I've used it every morning this week at home.

There, I said it.  Variety is the spice of life.

And, what's a little "Natural Bliss"TM between coffee friends?

Hey, don't judge me unless you've tried it.

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
