Coffee Combinations

  Sundays are one of my favorite days. I am able to allow myself to relax a little more, gather my thoughts, and prepare for the oncoming barrage of the following week. This morning, I was just having my normal cup of joe while listening to Cool Jazz. I don't know what it is about Jazz, coffee, and Sunday mornings but they seem to belong together. This combination I use while relaxing. 

  Another combination I like to use is coffee, studying, and classical music. The infographic below explains why. Admittedly, I stole this image from Coffee Cup News. To my audience, are there any combinations I might be missing? What are you using coffee for? 

CUPS on Campus!

  Ok, so I have been bugging the owner of CUPS on Grandin in Roanoke, Michelle, to set up shop in Salem, VA, for... well... since she opened the original location! And I finally got my wish! But I would never have expected her to land right on the doorstep of my college! Or more appropriately, the doorstep of Roanoke College's Fintel Library! Michelle has had her roaster, Spoon, create a dark blend called "Rooney Roast" and a special "Maroon Mocha" that mixes raspberry flavoring into the your standard mocha. CUPS on Campus has only been open for a week and half and it is always hopping! Now my home away from home truly feels like home! Come on by the library! You might even see me there more often!

Dunkin Donuts: Mocha Mint

  If you have the chance to snag it, before it goes away, grab the Mocha Mint flavor from Dunkin Donuts. My nephew gave it to me for Christmas. First, how does a five year old know me so well? Second, I was concerned about an overpowering mint taste. No way, I can barely taste it. Right now, it is my new morning coffee because it is very smooth.
