Coffee

Okay...... today, I splurged.
Once upon a time, @Ken Anderson told us about how he orders coffee on Amazon, and one of his favorites is made by a company called “Coffee Fools”.
When I looked, I discovered that they also carry a great selection of the flavored coffees, and in many different flavors, more than you can find most places.
Most of the ones on close out were the add-on, so whenever we were ordering something that was around $25, then I added on some of the flavored coffee for myself.

Today, I carried that one step further.
I ran the list by price from low to high, so I could see the very cheapest ones first, and started adding the ones I was interested in, to my Amazon shopping list.
Once I had $25 worth of the add-on flavored coffees, then I ordered it, so when it arrives, I will have a supply of different flavors of coffee to make.
I usually open one at a time, or sometimes 2, and then store them in a dark colored wide mouth canning jar in the cupboard, and put the name on the lid.

The other day, we got all of that Gevalia coffee on close out, and Bobby really enjoys that, as well as his McCafe coffee; so now we will both have favorite coffee to help us make it through this cold old winter.

 

Coffee Fool has great coffee, and don't forget the "Foolash Goulash," which is different every time but always good, and cheap.

 

All of my flavored coffee came from Amazon, and I am happily drinking the first one, which is Cocoa Spice, and has hints of chocolate and cinnamon in it. Usually, in the morning, I make the Gevalia coffee for my first cup, and if I have another cup of coffee in the afternoon, then I enjoy the flavored coffee.
I would like to try all of the flavors; but I know that once I open the sealed bag, then it will start losing freshness and flavor, even when I keep the coffee in a mason jar with the lid closed tightly; so I am just going to open them one at a time, and finish the whole jar before i have the next one.

 

I just ordered another bag of Stone Street, although a different blend than I ordered last time, and one of my favorites, Foolash Goulash from Coffee Fool.



The Foolash Goulash is simply a mixture of whatever they have left over. It contains different blends, mixed together, so it tastes different every time, but I have never failed to like it. Often what I do, when I am trying out new coffees is to try it the way it comes a couple of times, and if I love it, I'll drink it that way. Otherwise, I mix it with whatever else I have.

 

Robin gave us a really nice coffee maker that makes both a large pot of coffee, or uses either k-cups, or regular coffee to make a single cup.
Bobby always gets up early and has a full pot of coffee before I even open my eyes in the morning, and then I make mine in the single cup maker, sometimes with regular coffee, and sometimes with my flavored blend.
Kroger often has their manager specials on coffee that is about to go out of date, and when I find these sales, then we stock up on the nicer coffees at a cheaper discount price.
Another thing that I do is look on Amazon, and run the search by cost (low to high), and then choose some of the add-on coffees that are marked way down.
Our liquidation store also has some good buys on coffee sometimes, and we just got a few boxes of good k-cup coffee from them, too.

 

I made three pots of coffee yesterday, drank two of them and about half of the last one. Plus, I had a couple of K-cups of coffee upstairs. I am off to a slow start today though, as I am still on my first pot.
