Cuz i logged into the 'puter... and yahoo had a sneaky little tag line... "who beat starbucks in a taste test?". and of course, being 1. an avid fan of coffee and 2. loving all things starbucks had to know who could have possibly beat them?
now... i do love starbucks. end of story. but i - being severly unemployed and shortly a full time student - have no money for such luxeries. and so in times of great need, i have fallen back on my favorite cheap at home brew, Five o'clock Coffee. One day when i visited this episcopalian church in ludington where the congregation was all over 80 (which made me stick out like a sore thumb). i got into a conversation about coffee with a little old late and how i am fond of the five o'clock stuff. and she told me (in a nutshell and paraphrased) the stuff is older than sin. but i like it. it's particularly cheap when you buy the bag that has the $1 off coupon inside. and use that coupon to buy another bag, with another coupon!
so what do my eyes see when i follow the aforementioned link....
an article stating in a taste test of columbian brewed coffee, Five o'clock beat out everyone. starbucks, folgers, maxwell, duncan... EVERYONE. i do love my cheap little finds!
and hope this doesn't make them get a big head and raise the price. hmmm :

I hate to bring our personal bickerings into your blog, but Eight O'Clock is MORE EXPENSIVE than Folgers and Maxwell House. It isn't this super cheap, super great find you seem intent to insist it is. If it wasn't for that coupon I would be more aggressive in my attempts to show you the math, but as is, paying a little extra for the best Colombian coffee seems worth it! Especially because it makes you so happy!
it IS cheap.
it IS better.
this is what it IS in my world.
your world must be messed up or something. ;|
