Wakethefuckup coffee review

Jun 26, 2008 in Foodies!

For those who know me (and for those who dont) -i’m a huge coffee person.

And sometimes i’m not. This morning I woke up, and had a can of Pokka coffee (I swear) and was happy until I got to work at the early time of 9:30. (Wiki of Japanese canned Coffee)

However, my new french press (I only roll Bodiums, what!) was looking for something new.

My buddy Shelly C - (A active Yelper too! ) thoughtfully bought me this from a store in Pheonix, Arizona.

Momma Vakil (my mom) saw the bag around her house, and thought (”you kids buy the dumbest things!”) and immediately freaked out about the price of 14.99. (Of course, the huge “Fuck” via branding on the package did not help either.
Two thumbs down!

Momma Vakil hates it!

Coffee made in French Press;

In Bodium- French Press

*caffeine - Lots of it, gave me a nice Coffee buzz

*Nice color (looked darker than the pictures)

*aroma - great aroma, however, had a slight burnt smell. Anyone else?

Overall, for a non-chain coffee, many of you know, you may get a bag of nasty tasty coffee once in a while. However, (if this is any indicator) - the coffee tasted fresh, as if it was only a month old.

Two thumbs up!

YIPPEE! Registered, now waiting for my free coffee. And yes, Ankur, you can have some, :P

Free Coffee from Joffrey’s… YAY!

Feb 28, 2008 in Foodies!

I think Ankur’s more excited about this blog than I am. Earlier today, he let me in on a lil “beta” testing - Joffrey’s Coffee and Tea Company is sending out free samples for bloggers to drink and review. Genius idea.

I’m not much of a coffee drinker, but hey, why not!?! Just signed up, now waiting for my coffee to arrive. STAY TUNED!

Grits… Mmmmm…mmm?

Feb 27, 2008 in Foodies!

Went out for dinner a couple nights ago to Denny’s (my favorite regular everyday eating restaurant evers!) with Donny and Lien.

Donny decided he wanted to try grits, but none of us really knew what it was. Lien had thought it was a type of hashbrown but prepared differently. I thought, okay, sure why not!

Turns out it’s a corn porridge type thing with almost no taste. I’m having regular porridge right now (rice with beef), so it reminded me of this. The guys didn’t care for it, so I ate it all, it was delicious! GRITTY!

We asked Cat & Dung what they thought grits were last night, and they also figured it would be a type of hashbrown.

WRONG! It’s corn people; if you didn’t know, then now you know.

Grits, gritty tasting!
