Joe’s Coffee Collars :: Protect Your Hands from Hot Coffee Burns
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Joe’s Coffee Collars is one of the best ideas I’ve seen in a while. Though my photo leaves something to be desired, the little insulated cup hugger does not.
They come in assorted colors and designs (though I am not sure you can get this particular one now) and fit a cup ranging from small to large. Your standard tall, Grande, and Venti Starbuck’s models. Such names for cup sizes!
Anyway, these nifty, re-usable, insulated cup sleeves are made in Alaska and are state of the art insulate that keeps a beverage warmer, longer than neoprene. I can honestly testify to that. I love them!
They are trendy, attractive, and make a great conversation item. I would agree that these are enviromental safe since they are re-usable time after time. They do hold their shape.
Stop by Joe’s and give them a peak. They are reasonable at $5.99 each with free shipping in the U.S. You can also buy wholesale. I’ll bet you love them too!

The Bonjour 1L Thermal Carafe has been a nice addition to my kitchen. Even though I strongly prefer a 2l unit, this one has come in handy more times that I can count. When it is just me at home, it is perfect, however, if you have more than one to coffee for, it tends to run you to death refilling it. On the other hand though, it is absolutely perfect to hold hot water for tea. That is mainly what I use it for and it is just perfect.
Coffee Gadget Review on: Sip Klip the ‘coffee lid sip hole plug’
New product alert!
There are those places where you get a handy dandy lid hole cover such as a stopper that will bend back when you open it ( “McDonalds Coffee” ) or a floppy tab that goes in and out of the lid ( “7-11″ ) and makes a large mess if you are not extremely careful but then there is something new out there that makes the others pale in comparison. It’s called Sip Klip!
Michele Vogt, founder, inventor and principal partner of Sip Klip and former coffeehouse owner knew we all needed something to help us keep our coffee in our cups! I know I did. I wish I had a dollar for each spot I have had to wash out of my tops and jeans from those accidents I am so famous for having.
Bada Beans :: a review by coffeesage.com (for your coffee/tea)
It has taken me a very long time to write this review. It wasn’t for lack of time, but lack of a back-bone. I hate writing negative reviews. At least it is not going to be as negative as it would have been in the beginning. One must test and test again when they have something unpleasant to write about. It is a bad thing to write a review that reflects a product as less than favorable when everything possible has not been done to try and like it.
Espresso Coffee Review on: The Roasterie
First of all let me thank The Roasterie for including the pretty logo espresso cup and saucer with the fabulous beans they sent to me. Believe it or not after all these years and many, many cups of espresso later I never had any good cups for my shots. I guess I never took the time. Well, it had not been more than a few days before they sent this one that I was thinking of starting a collections of them. Behold! My first one to start my collection off with. I sort of believe that you bring to you what is strongly on your mind. The cup is good looking and I am very proud of it. Thank you Lindsey!
Coffee Review on: CafeVivo!
First of all, I’d like to thank CafeVivo for the most generous portions of beans they sent for me to taste and review. Full pound bags is most unusual these days and I appreciate it very much. Often, I may like or dislike a coffee initially but over time may find something either positive or negative that changes my mind in either direction. I drink more than most can even imagine and I am a healthy, nearly 50 yr. old woman. Not that I claim to be ‘old’ but I certainly am no spring chicken. Or summer chicken. Hmm.. do they have those? Oh well, on to the review.
CafeVivo sent me a bag of Golden Sumatra and a bag of Ethiopia Sidamo. My goodness! Yes, this has been a delightful experience for me. I so enjoyed both beans and long for more. I was especially partial to the Ethiopian. It was so delicious and hearty. I wish I could say it was satisfying but I can not. Ha! Not a bad thing. I just keep wanting more and more. How can I stay satisfied with something so good? Please, let me have no ‘last drop’ in my cup. These beans are roasted per order and arrive fresh and ready to be enjoyed.

Coffee Review on: Boca Java
It has been my pleasure to grind and taste a bit of Boca Java’s great blend called Boca Sunrise and a fine Columbian they call Cool Breeze Columbian. Both are terrific and since it is roasted to order, makes it all the more special.
This past winter I ordered a white hot chocolate from them named White Mocha Blizzard. I fell in love with this rich and creamy dream and knew I must be in for a treat with the coffee they were going to send me.
A Coffee Review on christopherbean.com

$$= 7. -12.

Estate Java Government

Jamaica Me Crazy (Wild and Exciting!)
Fudge Nut Brownie (under review and posting at a later date)
I am here to review their coffee but wanted to say a few words about their website as well. I love their site. It is very easy to navigate and you do not get lost trying to find anything in particular. The sidebar clearly guides you to any area on the site and the layout and color scheme is easy on the eyes and tastefully created. I also want to mention Christopher Bean’s ‘Bean Bucks’ incentive. Each bag of Christopher Bean coffee has a ‘Bean Buck’ on the bottom of the bag. Each buck is worth…. you guessed it! A Buck. You can trade them in for more wonderful coffee or merchandise. So, get to drinking and saving those ‘Bean Bucks’.
Christopher Bean offers you a 100% money back guarantee on all their coffees. A quote from the website:
We guarantee you will be 100% pleased with your Christopher Bean Coffee , or we will refund your money 100%.
Fact is, I have not tried the Fudge Brownie yet but will add my findings to this review a bit later.
Please carry onto the next page for review on the coffees…..

Warp Green-T Mints ::: Go-Go Candy yum..
Look at that tin! Isn’t that adorable? It looks like a shoe-polish tin. It even has the twist opener. That is neat. But are the mints just as neat? Yes, they are!
Warp Green-T Mints has an energizing blend of Green Tea, Ginseng, and Guarana. Much like the original Warp Mints forumla.
What is Guarana? It is a shrub or small tree in the Sapindaceae family, native to Venezuela and northern Brazil. The seed of the Guaraná fruit is a central nervous system stimulant with thermogenic and diuretic properties. Wikipedia version
Ginseng? Ginseng appears to have different origins and meanings. According to the wiki, there seems to be some dispute over the accuracy of the article provided. Decide for yourself by visiting it at: Wikipedia’s version on Ginseng.
All I know is, it seems to work. Small scale anyway. The effect doesn’t last long but we probably didn’t expect it too either. They are quite tasty and pretty to look at. Warp Green-T combines the tart flavor of lemon-lime citrus, with the brisk taste of green tea. The taste is not sour yet not too sweet either.
You get about sixty mints per tin and are about average to other mints in the suck zone. ‘your mouth’.
You can find Warp Mints at several places. Target, Hastings, EZ-Mart, 7-11, GNC, and many other places. The cost varies but usually around $2 bucks. Look for them and buy them. Try em and get a buzz.
I like them!
Coffee-Snob’s Cold Drip Coffee Maker :: A Coffee Review
Check all my coffee and coffee product reviews
Thank you to Coffee-Snob.com for the opportunity to test their new cold drip coffee maker. It was fun and the coffee is great!
To the right you can see the unique cold drip coffee maker that is offered through coffee-snob.com . It is a really unique coffee maker and can prove to be an asset in the storage of fresh brewed coffee. What do I mean by that? Let me tell you:
First and foremost, coffee is brewed using the obvious “cold drip” method. All that is required is ice, fine ground coffee beans (my own preference), a bit of water, and about 6 hours to get it from the ice to the pot. Cold Drip produces a nice rich concentrate that can be stored up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator (right in the carafe) and brewing your coffee with cold water eliminates the undesirable oils and acids found in hot-brewed coffee that are not extracted at low temperatures.
