Psst! If you are nearby a Caribou Coffee Company location today, you can get a free cup of decaf today. Caribou Coffee is giving away free 12-ounce cups of decaf starting at noon today.
Why the generousity? Starbucks is no longer keeping decaf at the ready in the afternoon
“Decaf drinkers deserve better!” says Caribou […]

If you use a Senseo coffeemaker, then you probably have made your way through various flavors and types of coffee pods on the market like I have. Fortunately, there are new flavors coming out all the time, including from Godiva. Since I love Godiva and my Senseo, I was happy to try both new Godiva […]

Planning to vote today?
If so, head over to Starbucks afterwards and claim your free cup of coffee. Yes, free. For voting. It is election day after all.
Now, go forth and vote.

When I brew a cup of coffee, it’s a no brainer. Two teaspoons of sugar and a generous splash of low-fat milk.
When I steep a cup of tea, likewise, it’s a no brainer. About a teaspoon of honey (desert mesquite honey, to be exact). Nothing else.

If Silk Soymilk is your cuppa and you shop at Stop & Shop in New Jersey, this is a tidbit for you. Silk Soymilk Chocolate Flavor in the 11-ounce single serving plastic bottles has been voluntarily recalled by WhiteWave Foods Company because it contains - ready for this? - milk protein.
The label failed to indicate […]

If it weren’t for coffee, I wouldn’t be writing this right now. Seriously. When you have an infant and a toddler, you might as well have an IV drip of the strongest stuff available. Last night alone I went to bed at 11 and was up at 12:30, 1:30, 2:30 … well, you get the […]

Senseo, oh Senseo, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways …
You whip up a fresh cuppa joe for me in seconds without the mess of grinding, measuring and pressing. You leave a thick head of foam that brings a smile to my face every time. You have a small profile, so you […]

There was a time, not too long ago, where my route to work included a pit stop at the Starbucks on my way to the office. Being that it was right around the corner, more often than not there was a second drop-in later in the day too. I love my coffee, and really love […]
