Since it's feelin' very Seattle out there and in here, our measly mind turns to thoughts of java. Coffee, beanjuice, mud, no matter what you call it, brew it now. I recently discovered Ugly Mug Coffee from Memphis. How did I find it? It landed on my desk. Sweet Jesus, what a surprise. Not one, but two bags — a lighter blend called first cup and a heavier hardy roast — came to me by mail. Must be this kick-ass blog that caught their attention. So after a week and a half of enjoying this coffee every morning, noon and night, I am now habituated and must order by FOD, fix on demand. Seriously this Tennessian coffee is absolutely smashing. This morning I sadly had to brew Peet’s Major Dickson, on sale for $6.99 at Mbasket. But it just doesn't cut it. Like a virgin wine drinker, whose tasted grand cru for the first time, I cannot return to the average joe. This, hip, edgy co. seem to know more about advertising/marketing than coffee roasting. The web site uglymugcoffee.com is funny, but not informative if you are a coffee nerd like me. But really what do I care, just give me more Ugly Mug! They have 10 blends like saving grace, good vibes and some flavors: Cinnamon sugar cookie. I like it all. Says this stuff is avail. from texas to maine, but I haven't come across it. Anyone know where ugly mug can be nabbed in the MV? I'm thinking of opening a shop in Haverhill, would you come?

Too much is made of designer coffees A can of Yuban is/was/for ever shall be about as good as it gets in a traditional home brewer. Begging the question "Where is my Yuban!?!?" I haven't seen it at MB in weeks!
If this goes on I'll have to tap into the 2 pounds of 100% Kona I took back from my honeymoon!
