Cinchona® Costa Rican Coffee - Exclusively from Collins Street Bakery (the Fruitcake People)

-

Sometimes you find great coffee in the most unlikely places.

 I will be perfectly honest, when I opened my Christmas gift from my mother-in-law, and saw that she had sent us a Collins Street Bakery Fruitcake, I was delighted.  Really.  

 I believe there are three categories of fruitcake people.  Those who hate fruitcake and those who love fruitcake.

 I'm in the third category, people who only like Collins Street Bakery's fruitcakes.  I'm the first to admit, I was not "feeling fruitcake" until my mother-in-law started sending these over a decade ago.  And now, I can't complete my holiday without one.  

 Yet, I wasn't expecting much from the coffee she sent along with the fruitcake this year.  I'm picky about my coffee.  In fact, I didn't even open the bag of coffee until this weekend.

 What a shock!  

 You only buy this Cinchona ® Costa Rican Coffee from Collins Street Bakery.  And, just in case, you're not near Corsicana, Texas and/or you don't like fruitcake, no worries, they'll ship it to you.

 Good honest coffee.  Just like their fruitcake.

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
