coffee = life

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!
