Let's Start This Year Out Right! Weaver's (R) Guatemala El Portal Antigua

-


Can't believe that another year has come and gone.  But isn't it wonderful to be able to begin anew?

 There were so many wonderful coffees that I enjoyed in 2014, and I'm kicking off 2015 with a premium Guatemala El Portal Antigua coffee from one of my most favorite "micro-roasters."

 The roastermaster's description says that it comes from the "Antigua region of Guatemala, nestled between three volcanoes, grown at high altitudes in rich volcanic soil."  They sure grow good coffee there.

 It's one of the better and more unusual blends that I've had recently.  And while the description describes describes "hints of dates and silky mocha," I taste chocolate-y richness with just a little bit of acidity and no bitterness.

 Quantities are limited, so you'll want to order yours today from Weaver's.

 Let's toast to a new year and great coffee!

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
