Morning Joe

Starbucks and MSNBC have paired up to promote their Morning Joe Blend. Alas, this is not a new coffee blend, rather Starbucks simply renamed their Gold Coast Blend as the Gold Coast Morning Joe Blend (gotta love those cross-marketing possibilities). In case you didn't know, Morning Joe is a morning news show hosted by Joe Scarborough on MSNBC. This coffee is very intense and full-body in flavor. It has a very robust and bold coffee taste, without the bitterness or acidity of most bold blends. This is a great blend for that first cup of the day.

Steep and Brew

it's been a while since we've gone to Green Bay, so now in time of coffee needs, I made my way to Steep and Brew to tide me over. I went with one of the "snappy, full bodied" blends from Costa Rica. I was very happy with the purchase. Not an overly expensive blend ($8.50 per pound), but it has a rich full true coffee taste.
