McDonald’s Unsnobbycoffee.com with Free Coffee Coupon

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Have you seen McDonald’s new website called Unsnobby Coffee? I guess it’s their new campaign focusing on their espresso drinks. I’ve tried a couple and even though (to me) the drinks are not the best I’ve had, they aren’t too bad either and for the price, it is certainly a nice alternative in these unstable economic times.

There is a coupon you can print off while there. You can get a free small one with the purchase of a sandwich, breakfast or lunch. Check it out. It’s a nice looking site.

You can overdose on caffeine (espresso shots can kill) *winks*

Alright, as bad as I hate to write this, I found it interesting and wanted to post it. I really believe that our young people should watch their caffeine intake if not do away with it all together. And here is why:

Below is a link to the story about a coffee shop owner’s teen who overdosed on double espresso shots. Read it and think it over. I suppose it could kill. Of course, I would never sit and drink that many double espresso shots either.

Girl Overdoses on Espresso Coffee says BBC News.

Krispy Kreme Introduces the New Reduced Calorie Frozen Blends

A little while back I told you about Krispy Kreme’s frozen drink. Today I hear they’ve introduced their new reduced calorie frozen blends. Here is what they had to say about it:

Last month, we encouraged you to stop by and try one of our six Frozen Blends. We hope you found a new favorite treat. We now have some additional blends to tell you about that we do not think you will want to miss out on.


How does a smooth, refreshing frozen beverage with only ninety-nine calories sound to you? We are delighted to now offer our reduced calorie Frozen Blends in select flavors (12 oz size only, w/out whipped cream).

For those who find themselves craving something chocolate, you can not go wrong with our reduced calorie Double Chocolate Blend. Add a shot of coffee for a little extra kick and a rich _mocha taste.

And if you prefer a classic coffee flavor, than our reduced calorie Latte Blend should hit the spot! Our reduced calorie Frozen Blends are not available in all markets and participating markets may not carry all flavors.

Just thought I’d update you on that. I don’t like reduced calorie stuff ( hmm.. maybe I should ) but I know there are many of you out there that prefer them.

Coffee Creations :: A Coffee Bar Review

A Coffee Bar that is quaint yet bursting with flavor and personality

Sadly, I’m one of those people who tend to stick with what I know to be good and coffee bars are no exception. I do stray from time to time and usually, I am glad I did.

For the past year or so, probably longer,I have passed by this little coffee bar as I made my way to one of my other frequents some miles away, Barnes and Noble Cafe or The Perk and maybe a stop by Dunkin’ Donuts on occasion, without giving this little place much thought.

Finally, one morning I had to go into town and really did not want to drive several miles across town to get a good cup, so I stopped by Coffee Creations. I was certainly pleasantly surprised to say the least. The bar is quaint and cozy with just about any sort of coffee drink you’d ever want and many teas to pick from as well.

The owners know what they’re doing too. Their drinks taste every bit as yummy as Starbucks and are less expensive as well. They have many types of sandwiches and pastries and supply a good bit of gift ware too.

Coffee Creation have a very friendly atmosphere and all the employees have been nothing short of being the friendliest around. Impressive.

They change the flavor of the coffee ‘on tap’ daily. I have yet to be dissatisfied with any roast they have up for the day.

All in all, I have to say my encounter was most positive and I have since visited many more times. I may have found a new stop much closer to home.

Don’t waste any time, find your way to Coffee Creations, sit down with a fabulous cup of java and enjoy the wonderful atmosphere and taste sensations they have to offer.
