Eight O'clock Coffee
Well, I haven't progressed to roasting my own beans, but I have graduated to grinding my own.
Anyone else familiar with Eight O'clock coffee? I prefer the 100% Columbian (brown bag) although I admit I haven't tried them all. My latest kick is to add some Iced Java instead of sugar. It's a product made by Nestle which is basically a chocolate milk mix with caffine....man I'm telling ya, sometimes I have the shakes when I leave home in the morning |

You are on the right track if you ask me! It is perfectly natural to grind your own beans before feeling the urge to roast your own beans. FWIW I consider my grinder to be the most important tool in my entire home! I don't often admit to adding "adulterants" to coffee, but between you and me, I have been known to put a squirt of Nestles chocolate syrup in my coffee or espresso as a sweetener from time to time. There is definitely something about chocolate and coffee that go together. I can't imagine adding caffeine to coffee if for no other reason that I love to drink coffee and I find that caffeine is the limiting factor. The less caffeine, the more coffee I can drink. But I won't resort to the decafs.. Also it is worth noting that "arabica" coffee has about half the caffeine as "robusta" which doen't taste as good. I always shoot for 100% arabica beans and drink twice as much. Take care and now that someone is reading it, I guess I need to catch up on my blogging. Roasting (and grinding) coffee is definitely a worthwhile activity that is worth the extra time spent (if you love coffee). BTW, never had 8'oclock.. In fact, I haven't had a "name brand" of any kind in quite some time, at least that I know of. However, between you and me... the new McDonalds coffee really isn't toooo bad. Better than a headache in a pinch. hehehe |

Haven't tried the new coffee at Micky D's but I've heard it was pretty good.
Considering "the office" is only about 5 blocks from my house, it's really not convenient for me to go there before hand... |

Drinking some plain old Community Dark Roast this morning.
Not terrible, but immeasurably better than the Folgers crap they buy at work. |
