Starbucks Reserve Jamaica Blue Mountain Review

Starbucks Reserve Jamaica Blue Mountain Review


I recently received a surprise package from Starbucks. I opened the box to find an mysterious black box inside. I was intrigued to say the least. When I opened this second box, I discovered a gleaming bag of Starbucks Reserve Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee. I didn’t even know that Starbucks had JBM coffee, and I was excited to give it a try. No matter what my previous experiences have been with Starbucks’ coffee, I can easily detach myself and be objective. Every coffee is different, and it is possible for a company to have an exceptional coffee, while also having less than stellar coffee. The Starbucks JBM retails for $30 for an 8 ounce bag, which is slightly north of the average price of JBM, but still reasonable if it is high quality.
 
Here is what Starbucks has to say about this coffee… [Read more…]

#Coffee Savants Roundtable :: Google+ Coffee Hangout

 

Talking COFFEE in a G+ Hangout


I was honored to be invited onto a Google+ hangout with several other ‘coffee’ people, titled “Coffee Savants Roundtable”.  I don’t consider myself a coffee ‘savant’, but I do know a little bit about coffee, and how to bring new people into the world of specialty coffee.  I wasn’t sure what this was going to be, but I am always up for a new adventure, so I gave it a shot.  I was part of a group of people from across the continent who were a part of the coffee industry in some way.  The video above is a recording of the rich conversation that took place.  This was such a diverse group of coffee lovers, that there were several viewpoints to every topic.  The great thing about coffee is that it is so subjective.  While sometimes my view differed from others in the group, it didn’t make my… or their opinions invalid.  I am looking forward to joining these folks again in the near future!  Here is a list of those who were in the hangout with me… [Read more…]

Monday Morning Meme :: Folgers Conspiracy Keanu

monday morning coffee meme : conspiracy keanu folgers in my cup


Good Monday morning to you! I know, Mondays are not that great, but I’ve started this fun theme, designed to lighten your Monday blues! Monday Morning Memes will feature popular meme images, with a focus on coffee. This week’s coffee meme features “Conspiracy Keanu” questioning the validity of Folgers’ claim that “The best part of wakin’ up, is Folgers in your cup.” It appears that Keanu has had an epiphany!

Since the London 2012 Olympics began, I have slept about 4 hours per night.  This has resulted in an increased need and desire to down endless cups of coffee.  This phenomena has inspired this graphic!  I would be very appreciative if you could share this on your favorite social networks, because there are many who feel just like this!  Thank you c[_]

Coffee Chat With Mike Crimmins, of “Daily Shot of Coffee”

 
 
 
life is too short to drink bad coffee


 
“4 ounces of burnt ashtray water”  Listen for this quote in the podcast below!  I had the honor of being asked to do a podcast about coffee by Mike Crimmins, from DailyShotOfCoffee.com, back in February.  I ended up getting pretty sick the day before we were going to connect, and my cough just hung on forever!  We were finally able to get together and chat about….wait for it….COFFEE!   From how people can start the transition from industrial preground coffee to better coffee, our angst towards the ‘healthy coffee’ people, and why I started CoffeeNate.com, we covered it all.  We also talked social media marketing, and what we’re currently up to.


I’d like to thank my friend, Mike, for inviting me onto his show, and allowing me to simul-post the podcast!  Mike is someone that I had never spoken to before this show, but we’ve been ‘talking’ online for more than 3 years.  We launched our coffee websites at nearly the same time, and Mike has always been an encouraging force in my business.  You can connect with Mike on Facebook and Twitter.
