Beyond Coffee

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

I’ve been hanging out at a different type of coffee place lately.  It not only sells coffee, but also makes chocolate.  On the other side is a little wine bar, something that is popular to combine in various areas of Colorado.
So, all of the chocolate that is here is special custom made in the store.  […]

How Do You Like Your Mocha?

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

I would just like to take a moment with this blog and say thank you to the mocha.  There is nothing better than chocolate mixed with coffee in order to get a complete boost of the day.  More than being the best coffee drink out there, it actually has a long history that has allowed […]

McDonald’s Iced Coffee

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

McDonald’s has jumped on the coffee bandwagon with a surprisingly good iced coffee.  The refreshing treat is available in four different varieties (regular, vanilla, hazelnut and caramel) and two sizes (24 oz medium and 32 oz large). At a fraction of the price, McDonald’s iced coffee is comparable to other franchise heavy hitters.  In today’s […]

Peet’s gets rapid…rapid transit, that is…

Friday, April 18th, 2008

BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) has partnered with Peet’s Coffee so that morning commuters (and evening commuters and everyone in between) can enjoy java while getting where they need to go.
The partnership will show up at the Embarcadero BART Station around the end of April, and that will be the debut stop for enjoying Peet’s […]

New daily coffee at Starbucks – Pikes Place Blend

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

Some people (me included) cannot get enough of the Sumatra coffee from Starbucks. My family goes through a pound a week, and the one time we ran out and had to use the “backup” coffee we made it double strength…and it still tasted like hot flavored water. Ick!
But many people feel that the standard Sumatra […]

Homemade Instant Cappuccino Mix

Friday, March 28th, 2008

Buying ready cappuccino mixes can become an expensive habit. If you take a look at the prices for those small jars or mixes and compare them to your normal coffee you will see the price is quite different.
For frugal living and a cappuccino that tastes just like the ones you buy ready here is the […]

Those Helpful Folks at the Counter-Finding my Favorites

Tuesday, November 8th, 2005

I’ve got to say that I’m just beginning to appreciate the wonderful world of coffee. It all started in Europe where my hosts had coffee several times a day; it was a standard part of a good long conversation. I’ve continued my enjoyment of coffee here in the states. I have found a couple of […]

Irish Creme!

Thursday, June 2nd, 2005

I wish more coffee houses had irish creme coffee flavors. It’s my favortite flavor. I see hazelnut, mocha, french vanilla, etc. I went to a coffee house recently and was surprised to find other interesting flavors, such as butterscotch and caramel. It was like a dessert, I tell you! Still, […]
