Happy New Year from the Coffee "OG" (Original Grinder)

-

It's been a while since I posted here.  I had a few hiccups over the holidays which slowed my action.  But you can't keep a coffee drinker down (or so they say).

 So, Happy New Year from the Coffee "OG."  (Original Grinder).

 By the way, I enjoyed some exceptional holiday roasts in December (Fonte, Blue Bottle, Starbucks, Weavers and Peets) to name a few.  And I was intrigued by the number of new coffee drinkers there are on the horizon.

 It seems that every coffee lover these days is trying to one-up each other with their coffee game. And there are tea-converts moving over the coffee side.

 I only made one resolution when it comes to my coffee consumption this year and that is to try and readjust my palate to the lighter blends.  I think I've been a little closed-minded in this area.

 But whether your coffee be poured, brewed, pressed or siphoned, may it always be good.

 Cheers,

 The Coffee OG

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
