I've Made A Switch

Recently I've made the switch from Starbucks to Caribou...and so very happy about it. After far too many drinks from Starbucks in the past few months - across the street from my house - that had to be poured out, I switched. It was very easy after purchasing my first coffee from Caribou. During the summer, I would walk to the store and make it a point to go during their happy hour and get the bubble tea. About a week and half ago the weather was too cool to drink the tea while walking from the store to the house. I decided to try their regular light blend coffee...and boy was I surprised at how great it was. I always got a latte from Starbucks because I never liked their regular brew coffee; every single cup I have tried from Caribou's has been GREAT!!!! I especially love Amy's Blend. And drinking the regular coffee is so much cheaper than a latte. YAY!!!

I feel like I a new friend. :)

Going BLONDE

I will never have a cup of coffee as good as the coffee I had while living in Europe...They know coffee, and they know how to make it, deliciously. Before moving to Germany, I drank colored watered. After moving to Germany, we lived in a hotel for 3 months before finding a place to live and there, I discovered a dark coffee that did not taste bitter or burnt. One of the things I dislike so much is not finding good coffee shops in the states. Starbucks coffee does not compare to the little coffee shops in Germany or throughout Europe. I make my coffee in a French Press. It makes the best coffee. I did have a single cup coffee maker, but it no longer works, so was happy to go back to my French Press. Now, back to my original point - I have found that the new BLONDE roast from Starbucks is nice; it taste like coffee but has smoothness to it that I really like.

The day doesn’t begin before having a GOOD cup of coffee.
