Confessions of a Secret Coffee Junkie

This was definitely a banner month for Crowdtap and I.

I have become a secret coffee junkie. Yes that's right..me, the teetotaler. I could never get enough tea. Herbals, fruits, plain, with milk, with lemon etc. I never got enough. Until now.

Don't get me wrong, teas still have their place more so at night when I need to wind down but coffee gets me going now. I find that I prefer a cup on Monday mornings after a weekend to get me situated for my long commute and keeps me alert and aware as I arrive to my desk loaded with to-dos.

However, plain coffee still left a bitter taste in my mouth, literally. I found that I had to have something extra like vanilla or caramel to help.

Well, along comes my old friend Crowdtap and a very trusted brand like Folgers to the rescue. Folgers Flavors coffee enhancers. They are not a creamer and do not change the color of the coffee if you prefer it black.

They come in 4 flavors, Vanilla, Mocha, Hazelnut, and Caramel. The smoothness of each individual one gives your coffee just the right kiss of flavor to enhance your cup of Joe and make it taste just like coffeehouse coffees. At least that's my opinion. The Vanilla is my favorite with Caramel an extremely close second and then Mocha and Hazelnut following. The vanilla is great in medium roast coffees. The Caramel melded well with all roasts and I really could not decide which I liked best. The mocha is a little strong and gives the coffee a big bold dose of flavor so I would use this one in your light roasts unless you are daring. The hazelnut blended well with medium and dark roast but overpowered my light roast so I did not care for it too much in that regard since I prefer the light roasts.

You have to try them for yourself and let me know what you think.

I would totally give these products as gifts to my java junkie friends! Actually, with the holidays coming I know that I actually will! Folgers Flavors...Fabulous!

Coffee Lovers Unite!

For those of you discerning coffee lovers out there who also prefer being more environmentally friendly, I really think this product is for you. I have probably done it all when it comes to coffee, the 12 cup brewer, the 8 cup brewer, the 4 cup brewer, the single cup brewer, the on the go brewer, the single coffee bag similar to teabags, the inexpensive and expensive coffee house coffees, etc, etc. All of these methods being time consuming, expensive or just not true coffee tasting coffee (too weak, too strong, too bitter, not hot enough...). The real dreamy coffee taste I want to recreate are the coffees I had traveling through Europe. I can still remember sitting in a cafe in Paris right near the Eiffel Tower a few years ago enjoying the sights and sounds of the Seine rushing by, tourist watching (although I was also a tourist) and enjoying a cup of coffee in the mid morning hours. I had just about given up on the luxurious coffee taste of my overseas trips...

Dispose No More - CupVerdi REUSABLE Single Cup Coffee Filter

I LOVE my single cup coffee brewer. I have stated this many times to many people! It is great in a household where we are 2 people who do not drink coffee on an everyday basis but brewing an entire pot is way too much. What is also way too much is the cost of the coffee cups that you need to use in the brewer. I was excited to get this product to try and review. It allowed me to use my own coffee flavors that I prefer, or if I bought whole bean coffee I ground it up and used the grounds in this single cup filter. There is a max fill line on the inside that allows you to put in as little coffee as you want or max fill capacity. The screening on the filter is so fine that it did not allow any grounds to escape like some other filters I have tried. Also if you follow the fill allowance the grounds did not explode from the top either as I have had happen with others. The lid seal was just tight enough to use but easy enough to open to fill or clean....

Strong, Functional Umbrella

This is absolutely the best umbrella I have owned in a long time! It is functional and fashionable! I bought the turquoise blue because I am so tired of the sea of black umbrellas I see every time it rains. I wish more people would have bright colored umbrellas to brighten up those dreary rainy days. But I regress... This umbrella is different from the moment you get it home. You can see the difference in just the opening of it when you see the sleeve it comes in and the material the sleeve is made of. The umbrella is made of that same material. It is thicker than your standard umbrellas you can see that and the material feel is soft yet durable. When you see the handle it has the auto open/close button and a wrist strap. The feel of the handle is almost like those plush microfiber materials yet made of plastic. It felt very comfortable in hand and did not slip. When you finally open the umbrella there is a black 'powdercoat' on...
