Starbucks Reserve (R) Sumatra Blue Batak - Living for the Weekend

-


It's the little things that make a big difference.  Like this hot cup of Starbucks Reserve Sumatra Blue Batak I'm enjoying this morning.

 It was a particularly rough week at work and I was feeling like I needed something to make me feel better.  So, I stopped off at the Starbucks Clover store and picked up something special.

 At 15.95 for an eight ounce bag, it's on the more expensive side, but sometimes you have to treat yourself.

 I've had this particular reserve before, but the 2014 Roast delivers on its promise:  "Smooth and earthy with deep, syrupy body and sweet herbal notes."
Living for the weekend.
From Starbucks.com:

"For centuries Batak tribe members in the Lintong district on Lake Toba’s southern shore—Sumatra’s prized coffee-growing region—have cultivated big, bold coffees like this one in their backyard gardens.
After the ripest cherries are handpicked, they’re painstakingly wet-hulled in small batches. This unique processing method, which requires constant attention due to humid climate, gives the unroasted beans a distinct blue tint and contributes to the complex herbal flavor, redolent of the lush, fertile land.
This Starbucks Reserve® coffee is available only at select times and stores, so be sure to enjoy it when you can."

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
