Mmm coffee. I start my day with a triple Americano that I make at home (Nespresso FTW), but weekends I often make a pot of coffee. Maybe a nice French press pot or the classic auto-drip. There is one thing for sure, you can’t make a good pot of coffee if the coffee you buy is crap.
We all have our favorite coffees we buy as a treat to ourselves, how about finding and trying some new ones for a few months! How about a sample of four coffees a month for you to try? I’m craving another mug myself just thinking about this deal—Sample Delicious Coffee With MistoBox: Get 4 Micro-Roasted & Fresh Whole Bean Coffee Samples Delivered to Your Doorstep Every Month for 4 Months
The deal is pretty sweet, I think (and if I were in the States I’d be getting it). Once a month you get 4 samples of coffee. Try them all and then you can order a full pound of the one(s) you like…with free shipping! The deal we have is to try this for four months for $30 (50% off). Not too expensive and a nice treat for yourself.
Since we’re talking coffee, I have a tip for you that I got from my friend Degan Walters. Actually it’s a post her husband wrote, but I found it through her.
Regardless. Matt’s tips on brewing better coffee at home are just bang on. The best one, besides using a French press for more flavorful coffee, is to let the water cool down to 200°F from the boil at 212°F. Seems like a really nit-picky thing, but one morning when I had the time I tried it and it made a huge difference in the brew! Smoother, no harsh bitter tastes.
Of course I was using decent coffee for that pot.
Folks, life is too short to drink crappy coffee, invest in good coffee and mornings will be better.

Off-topic, but starting your day with a coffee (before any other liquid or food), especially if you do it right when you get up (without waiting), is one of the most unhealthy things you can do.
I don’t have the space or time (and I’m not a doctor anyway), but if you look it up you will find you are setting yourself up for all kinds of problems by doing that.
Wait an hour, switch to Tea, or just don’t do it every day is my advice.
So how do you go from being ” Canada’s first professional blogger, and general Internet Rogue.” to peddling junk on CoM ?
