A well Ground coffee makes for a well rounded coffee....

       All right well its been sometime since I have posted anything so here goes. First and foremost I absolutely love coffee and not only for its caffeine. I have been drinking coffee for the better part of the last 18-19 years yes that means I have been consuming Coffee since I was almost three ish four ish. I am Colombian and its just a part of me. Sometimes I wonder if they were to draw blood from me if there were days where they would get coffee instead due to the high quantity that I drink. I will openly admit I am an addict to it and if I do not get it I get the regular caffeine headaches as a result of the withdraw.

      I will also admit that there is difference in how much you pay for coffee and that your are going to get what you pay for. Buying cheap coffee is no different then going to your backyard filling up a coffee filter and brewing that instead of grounds. But what bothers me is that a regular black cup of coffee at for instance Starbucks is several dollars and even at Thorntons or McDonald is a little over a dollar. When if you just made it at home would be less then a 25 Cents a cup. And i assure you its better then what is at any fast food restaurant. I understand that we get busy and feel like we don't have the time to make a pot of coffee. But you would be amazed how much it saves you. That and how people have popularized coffee and branded it like NIKE or some other company.

        Simply by adding vanilla and whipped cream and chocolate shavings and milk pouring it into a symbolized cup can make it a 6 dollar cup of coffee. That is in my mind insane. Its like something telling you or changing the price of a bag of chips (all ready grotesquely overpriced as it is) in a vending machine to 6 dollars. i certainly would not buy it. Along with that I will have to have a post about a NEW or so called NEW product that is hitting the stores by demand and how name branding something allows you to charge so much for something. I mean it is up to the buyer to spend or shop for a better deal.

      I ask myself if someday will i design a logo for something that will cause it to be the name brand of that product the go to number one. Would I buy the product that holds the label that I designed. That caused that product to inflate in price. I honestly wonder I mean there are other factors that play in it like the quality of the product in the jar. and other things.. Advertising sells us something that isn't there, commercials show things that are unrealistic. I watch a folders commercial and pouring a glass of coffee has never been that elegant to me.

One thing is for certain coffee does not taste like it smells. That is a black cup of coffee sure if you add all the sugar and cream and milk and syrup it will taste like it smells, But a good old cup of black coffee is yet to taste like it smells. I tell you what though I also imagine what would happen if they ever figured out what a cup of coffee would taste like if it tasted like it smelled. In my opinion it would be absolutely mind blowing.
coffee anyone
