Hamptons Lane - Regatta Java

-


Truthfully speaking, I so wanted to find a reason not to like this coffee.  

 I kept noticing these pop up ads on my computer screen saying you can "blend your own," and "Hamptons Lane."  And it just made me think, "if they're talking about it this much, it can't be that good." 

 It's been my experience that often-times the least talked about coffees, or those "secret roasters" have the best coffees.

 So, when the nice people at Hamptons Lane sent me a sample pack of "Regatta Java" I didn't exactly jump up and brew it.

 In fact, it wasn't until they reached out a second time to say, "Hey, have you tried the coffee,?" that I said, "okay, already, I'll try the coffee!"

 Glad I did.  So good.  The "Regatta Java" is a blend of Indonesian and South American beans that blend to make a cup of delicious-ness.

 A wonderful way to "sail into the day."

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
