Keep Your Mitts off my Mug! My cup is personal

-
I haven't been able to shake the anger and disgust I feel about someone stealing my personal Yeti mug at work. Yes, I did accidentally forget it in the lunchroom. No, it was not monogrammed with my name. However, if you see a very nice, clearly expensive commuter mug, chances are it's not up for grabs. I have left it in the lunchroom several times previously and no one took it. Imagine my frustration when I was told by someone "you shouldn't have left it in the mailroom." Does the same apply to a forgotten jacket or purse for that matter? Coffee lovers know that what you drink from is just as important as what you drink (coffee, that is). If you didn't buy it, keep your paws off. Still checking constantly to see if whomever stole my mug will be embarrassed enough to try to return it. No luck yet.

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
