The Perfect Blend, The Right Amount of Water, How Does Your Coffee Grow? There's an APP for that! #SmartCoffee App

-


No one could ever accuse Thanksgiving Coffee of not caring about what ends up in your cup.  

77 year old Paul Katzeff (the self-proclaimed grandfather of specialty coffee roasting in America) has taken his knowledge to the next step.  And he's keeping up with the times, technology times that is, with the creation of the "Smart Coffee" app.  

I must admit it took me a while to get around to testing the app.  I mean, there are so many apps these days, I thought, "Do we really need an app for that?"  And we really do!

I could play with this thing for hours.  There's a wealth of information on varieties of coffees, regions, blends, roasts and there's a feature that allows you to create the "perfect roast" to suit your coffee taste.  And you can order it - straight from the app!!

It's sort of like putting everything in the computer (well, it is putting everything in the app) and then coming up with the blend that's right for you.

As for me, I'm a "Beaujolais Blend" myself.

The app is free.  You should really download it and check it out.  You'll be pleasantly surprised.  It really works!

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
