"Stop The Confusion!"

Oftentimes walking into a coffee shop and glancing
at the menu can be pretty daunting. All the fancy
names are enough to scare someone into sticking
with one safe choice for all of eternity. Fear no longer,
here is a handy-dandy cheat sheet so that you can
stand up to the snobbiest of baristas.

Espresso: A concentrated coffee beverage brewed
with finely ground coffee beans. They are poured and
served in shots. You typically order espresso in
increments: a single shot (solo), a double shot (doppio),
a triple shot (trippio), four shots (quad), etc.

Espresso Con Panna: Shots of espresso topped with
whipped cream. Order like so, “I’d like a doppio con panna.”

Espresso Machiatto: Espresso shots with a scoop of
foamed milk. If you want to get fancy, a wet macchiato
includes some steamed milk with your foam, and a no
foam macchiato has just a splash of steamed milk. To
order this one, “I’d like a solo wet macchiato.”
In the drinks below the number of espresso shots depends
on the size of the beverage you order.

Caffé Americano: Espresso shots with hot water. Fans
of regular brewed coffee may especially enjoy these.

Caffé Latte: Espresso shots with steamed milk and a
thin layer of foam.Caffé Mocha: Espresso shots with
mocha, steamed milk, and oftentimes whipped cream.

Cappuccino: Espresso shots with steamed milk and a
great deal of thick foam. Try getting specific with this drink too!
A wet cappuccino has more milk and less foam. A dry
cappuccino has less milk and more foam, and a bone-dry
(or extra dry) cappuccino has no milk and only foam.

Caramel Machiatto: Steamed milk sweetened with vanilla
and a thin layer of foam. Espresso shots are poured on top
followed by caramel sauce. This drink is similar to a vanilla
caffé latte, the main difference being that the espresso shots
sit on top rather than mixing uniformly throughout the drink.

As you try all of these different drinks feel free to specify
what type of milk you’d like. Nonfat? Soy? Add additional
shots if you’d like your drink stronger or ask for extra or no
foam if you prefer.

Baristas can also make your drinks decaffeinated or
half-caffeinated and in most cases flavor any of these
drinks with sugar based or sugar-free sweeteners.

Chain coffee joints keep their drink recipes uniform but
don’t be shy to ask questions at your local coffee shop.
How many shots are in your medium Americano?
What sugar-free syrups do you have? Etc.

Valentines Day Coffee Recipe!

While others may find it romantic to sip wine in the evening
I much prefer a cup of coffee.  I like a great wine once in awhile,
don’t get me wrong, but there is something awfully romantic
about coffee as far as I am concerned.

Soy Candles, Dye Free!

Coffee Scented Candles
Hand Poured Dye Free, Soy Candles
Burn Very Clean, Eco Friendly!
Wonderful Scents of Coffee & Chocolate
to choose from!

What are Soy Candles?

Soy candles are made from soy wax which is a
new alternative to paraffin wax.  It is renewable
and cost effective. The soybean is one of the
most versatile products used today. It has been
a high protein source for millions of people for
thousands of years. Soybean wax also seems
to be the most promising natural wax available.
Natural waxes such as soy waxes are gaining
in popularity but natural waxes are not new.
Beeswax and tallow were used in colonial times
to produce candles. Beeswax is a great natural
alternative to paraffin, but unfortunately, to get the
same results as a soy-based candle, it is cost
prohibitive to use 100% beeswax in candles.

Soy is in lots of things like body & skin care
products, hair products, crayons, paint removers,
and cleaning products. The production and burning
of soy  candles can greatly benefit the American
agricultural economy. When soy wax replaces
common paraffin wax, an estimated60 million
pounds of soy beans will be required for annual
candle production. I predict we'll see some
happy farmers!

Soy candles last three times longer than petroleum-
based candles, have an incredible scent throw with
virtually no black soot.

Our Soy Candles are made with 100% pure Soy
wax and are free of dye. These Soy Candles also
have Eco friendly, lead free wicks and highly
concentrated fragrance oil.  Soy candles burn
cleaner, cooler and slower, therefore helping the
air we breath and reducing soot in our home.
That means more enjoyment and healthier air
quality for you and your family. Soy candles are
also water-soluble, meaning that if it's spilled, it
can easily be cleaned up with soap and water.

Blended Coffee The Way You Like Them!

Blended coffee, Black Velvet On Sale, is the
practice of mixing quality characteristics to create a
 "well-rounded" cup of blended coffee that offers the
best of several coffees or to create a new taste from
complementary coffees. The better quality high altitude
coffees from each producing country have distinctive flavor,
body, and aroma characteristics that many people prefer to
enjoy straight. Blended coffee increases variety and
allows you to create a personalized cup.

First blend, then roast! As a rule, different coffees are
combined while still raw, to produce what is referred
to in the trade as 'blends." A very small number of
roasters prefer to blend their coffees after roasting.
Four or more different varieties are necessary in order
to achieve the particular flavor required because only
by blending can the natural fluctuations in quality
amongst the different varieties be compensated for.

Why Blended Coffee?
When searching for something different but unique in flavor,
blended coffee  isa viable option. Putting together the best
quality of several beans may be just what your taste buds are
looking for. Some decisions are better left up to the
experts and I believe this is one of them.

The search for your favorite blended coffee is a process of
elimination. Blends are a safe way to start your exploration.
You may find several that will be a regular choice on your
monthly order.Try our selections and let us know how you
feel about our Coffee Blends!
Available in 1 Pound & 5 Pound packages.
