Good morning! I started this morning with a big cup of 1850 by Folgers. (This is NOT a paid endorsement.)
Lately, I've been on a kick to cut down my sugar intake. It's not an easy thing to do. But it seems to be working to maintain my weight so far. I'd like to lose weight, not just maintain it. But that is a story for another post. I have never really liked black coffee. For me, the whole coffee/morning experience has been tightly bound by the creamy flavor of creamer or half and half in each beautiful steaming cup. However, I wanted to try to decrease my sugar and fat intake so, I've been having my first cup of each day with creamer and drinking each refill au natural. I have found that, by far, 1850 has been the best coffee to drink black. It is smooth and rich, even in the medium roast. And as long as it's piping hot, I haven't missed the creamer at all.
Isn't that beautiful?! I think it is. Anyway, I'm off to finish my cup of coffee and brew another pot. Good morning and good coffee. There's nothing better.
By the way, for those following my Wordly Wednesday Japanese posts, the Japanese katakana for coffee is コーヒー kōhii (pronounced cō hee). They use katakana because coffee is a word not of Japanese origin. But, no matter how you say it or spell it, it's coffee and it's a lovely way to start the day--for me anyway. What about you? What is your favorite morning coffee? Let us know in the comments below or send us a Tweet @TGFCoffee. Thank you for reading. Have a great day and, whenever possible, make tomorrow even better!

My morning coffee post of this week has to be postponed because my Mr. Coffee died. I'm sure many of my fellow coffee drinkers have had this happen in the past. Especially if you're getting on in years--you see many of them come and go. Or do you?
This particular Mr. Coffee has been with me for over 20 years. 20 Years! How's that for a product well-made?! Twenty years of brewing not one or two but most days 3 pots of coffee. I've used it with city water from different cities, country water, filtered water and never did it complain. And this weekend during its usual cleaning, it started leaking from the base. So, this post is an homage to my Mr. Coffee and a thank you to the company that made a product that could stand the test of time. Thank you Mr. Coffee for over 20 years of perfect coffee brewing. This morning's coffee extravaganza is brought to me by Starbucks Sumatra blend with a generous helping of Coffee-mate French Vanilla creamer. I decided to have it in my winter Starbucks cup because after yesterday's heat I wanted a reminder of the nice cold winter we had here in the desert. I just love this blend of coffee. It's strong and dark and just what I need on a Monday morning. What coffee are you having this morning? Feel free to let me know in the comment section. Happy Monday!
