Wake Up To A New Brew Every Morning - Boca Java Gourmet Coffee



The first thing I do, when I wake up in the morning, is pour myself a cup of coffee (okay...maybe not the FIRST thing I do, but pretty close!)  I just can't seem to start my morning off without having that first cup.  What's even better...my coffee is already ready, thanks to a programmable coffee maker!

The smell and fragrance that invites me every morning is just too hard to ignore.  Whether it be Columbian, Arabica or French Roast, coffee is my to-go friend in the morning. My normal coffee everyday is either a medium-dark French roast or Columbian, but sometimes, I want to try something a little bit different...a gourmet blend of coffee.



BocaJavaCoffee  has these wonderful flavored coffees that are available in either an 8 oz. package, 3 packs, gift sets or Coffee of the Month. There are some very unique (and delicious) flavors in these packs and let me tell you, my favorite by BocaJavaCoffee is hands down, the Sookie's Gourmet Blend!  It has a creamy and smooth sweet vanilla flavor with buttery caramel and Kahlua.  OH YES!  I can definitely taste the sweet vanilla, caramel and Kahlua in every sip and it tastes...Oh So Good!



How cute is this Gilmore Girls pin!  It's like a giant button that sits on your counter and also acts as a magnet!


BocaJavaCoffee has SO many flavors to choose from.  Here are some of the flavors I've tried by BocaJavaCoffee:

     *Luke's No-Nonsense Special
     *Mrs. Kim-Approved Dark Roast
     *Sookie's Gourmet Blend (My favorite!)
     *Stars Hollow Autumn Festival
     *Taylor Doose's Town Meeting
     *Stars Hollow Winter Festival

Luke's No-Nonsense Special has a bright and subtly sweet medium from Africa and South and Central America.




Mrs. Kim-Approved Dark Roast has a dark blend of Central and South American beans that offer a flavor to French Roast.



Sookie's Gourmet Blend has an exotic blend of sweet vanilla, buttery caramel and rich Kahlua.



Stars Hollow Autumn Festival has Pumpkin Spice and everything nice!  Has a sweet and enticing flavor of a heartfelt holiday favorite - Pumpkin Pie!




Taylor Doose's Town Meeting has an overflowing of flavor with a smooth and creamy coffee delight with the taste of toasted hazelnuts.



Stars Hollow Winter Festival has a rich and creamy chocolate with sweet, exhilarating mint flavor.




I cannot wait to try the Stars Hollow Autumn Festival.  I absolutely love pumpkin pie and to have my coffee flavored as the same as my FAVORITE pie...this should be a treat!

These are just a few of the flavors that BocaJavaCoffee has.  Check out their Etsy Shop for tons more flavors that are just too good to pass up!  You can also join their Gourmet Coffee Club that offers 10% off coffee, Free sample and only $3.95 shipping.  You can join today by visiting: bocajava.com/freebag.  You will find over 150 coffees to choose from, that are roasted and shipped the next day!

Fit Wrapz - Sports Nutrition Meals

I'm very leery about a food product that I really like, known to be unhealthy, to become a nutritious and healthy meal.  Burritos, whether their for breakfast or for lunch or supper, are a very convenient, fast and the meal I enjoy at least once a week.  I usually feel a little guilty eating my breakfast burritos, as they are packed with sausage, cheese, lettuce and egg stuffed in a white tortilla shell.



Now, I don't have to feel as guilty.  These Fit Wrapz, by Fit Wrapz, Inc. are not only absolutely delicious and fulfilling, but they are nutritious and contain tons of protein, fiber and low in calories.  My favorite was the Original Breakfast Burrito.  It was packed with ground turkey, cheese, onion, red potatoes, egg whites and whole wheat tortilla.  Let me tell you...this burrito was very well seasoned, was not greasy at all, and was very very filling.  I could barely eat the whole burrito.  The burrito is also a very generous size burrito, which I love.

The Original Breakfast Burrito has 6g of fiber, 25g protein and 350 calories.  My next favorite was the Green Chili Burrito.  Every one of these burritos are very very good and I was very pleasantly surprise on how good that tasted.  Personal trainer and nutrition counselor, Shige Toyoguchi, developed the Fit Wrapz to provide a convenient and nutritious meal that is not only delicious, but has the macronutrients balance to fuel elite athletes.  There are four Fit Wrapz flavors: Original Breakfast Burrito, Breakfast Burrito with Maple Sugar, Green Chili Chicken and Barbeque Chicken.  

These Fit Wrapz boosts energy, ready in less than 3 minutes, perfect meal for any time of day, 51% Whole Grain, Low sodium and Low Sugar, contain only 350-380 calories and low in cholesterol and saturated fats.  They arrive at your home in a styrofoam box, packed with ice.

Cozyna Coffee Grinder

I am a big coffee drinker.  That may be an understatement, but I do love my coffee, morning, noon and even at night.  There's nothing better, than having a fresh cup of coffee made from coffee beans.  Normally, I purchase the ground coffee at my local grocery store, only because it's convenient and saves less time.




But when I get the chance, I do love to grind up my own coffee beans.  The aroma from the fresh beans is like nothing else.  So rich and aromatic...ahhh!  To make grinding the coffee beans easier, I had the chance to try out the Cozyna Coffee Grinder.  The Cozyna Coffee Grinder has a sleek and shiny metal look, perfect accessory to my kitchen.  It's a very simple looking gadget that is easy to operate.  The handle comes unattached, so when you get ready to grind up your coffee, just attach the handle to the grinder.




The Cozyna Coffee Grinder is very durable as it's made with a high stainless steel body.  It has an adjustable grind size, meaning, you don't have to unscrew the whole grinder just to adjust the size.  The grinder is good for one cup of coffee.  Turn the handle clockwise or counterclockwise to get the perfect grind for espresso, drip, french press, cold drip and more.




The Cozyna Grinder is portable so you can take this on trips, such as camping or vacations. It's a handy little gadget to have with you all times, especially if you are a coffee drinker like I am.  Nothing beats a great cup of coffee than the cup derived from fresh ground beans that you've grounded yourself.

CoffeeCrazy's Organic &Fair Trade French Roast Coffee Beans

By now, many of you know that I'm a HUGE coffee lover...ground coffee, coffee beans and flavored coffee.  I prefer my coffee black... no sugar, no cream, just black and strong.  I'm always looking for the 'next best thing' when it comes to coffee.  Whether it's a strong flavored coffee with a bold taste or something totally unique.



CoffeeCrazy's Organic & Fair Trade French Roast coffee beans come in a 12 oz. bag.  The bag does not look like your typical coffee bag, but a brown bag with a noticeable bright red label with black lettering, which catches your attention.  Once opened, you instantly get a whiff of the rich aroma from the bag.  The coffee beans are not huge, like some coffee beans I've tried, but more on the smaller size, perfect for easy grinding.



I also love the fact, that the bag has two bendable closure flaps on each side.  This is a great idea if you don't want to dump your coffee beans into a canister.  I normally grind all the beans at once and then place the ground coffee into a Ziploc Container with a lid.  This bag, however, allows you to just use what you need and then easily close the bag up with the two side strips.




The CoffeeCrazy's Organic & Fair Trade French Roast smells awesome when brewing and taste's even better.  It has a rich, bold taste, but not too bold and has that familiar French Roast taste.  I totally love this coffee!  

The CoffeeCrazy's Organic & Fair Trade French Roast Coffee Beans is sold by SalsaCrazy, on Amazon, and can be purchased HERE.

Bab Coffee & Teas Coffee Bean Review

Anyone who knows me, knows I love my coffee!  If there is a new kind of flavor, type or way of drinking coffee, I'm all in!  I will have a cup in the morning, when I first awake and another after I get to work.  If I'm feeling tired in the afternoon, I'll have another cup.  I guess you can call me a coffee addict!


I'm thrilled to have gotten to try Bab Coffee & Teas Urban Brewz Coffee Beans!  What caught my eye was the bold black 1lb bag with a silver lettering on the black bag. These bags stood out and I knew this was one kind of coffee I wanted to try.  

I love the unique and fun names of the coffee...Swagg Life, Black Crack Coffee and Hype.  Who would have come up with names like these?  Each one of these names has their own unique flavors and strengths.  Hype has a very rich, smooth, full body flavor.  Black Crack has a heavy, strong, rich, wake up call flavor (right up my alley), and Swagg Life has an Old World, full bodied, rich, earthy flavor.

Urban Brewz knew what they were doing when they created this coffee.  I couldn't wait to try my next cup of coffee, trying a different flavor.  The coffee beans are dark and rich in color with a very pleasant aroma as soon as you open the bag.  You can instantly tell, by the smell, that the Black Crack Coffee, was one that will definitely wake you up and stronger than the rest.


My favorite????  The Black Crack,  hands down.  I loved all three, but the stronger the coffee, the better!  You can always make each one of these stronger, to your liking...just add an extra spoon to your coffee maker.

Where can you get these unique packages of coffee beans?  Check out Bab Coffee & Teas at Amazon.  You will love their packaging, and I've even thought about saving the bags, getting creative and finding a way to use them outside in my hot tub or on my wooden fence as a sign.  I LOVE THESE BAGS!

Joe Black Coffee Beans

I am absolutely in love with Joe Black's Coffee Beans!  I received Joe Black Coffee Beans awhile back ago, and not only did I receive one, but I received five bags to try!  These beans ranged from Arabica Mocha, Java Mocha, Paddy's Blend, Italian Blend and Milano.

I loved every single one, but my favorites (which I've already went thru) were Milano and the Aribica Mocha.  Each one of these had their own unique taste, ranging from a mild taste to a more robust, full flavor that consisted of bittersweek chocolate overtones to dusted cocoa and clove aromas.

Once I received these bags, I immediately opened them up and was greeted by such strong, rich aromas from the beans.  One by one, I finally grounded up each bag of beans (separately, of course) and stored the grounds in containers.  Joe Black's coffee beans have become my favorite brand of coffee. I love to pick and choose which flavor I will drink next!



You can grab your Joe Black coffee by visiting Joe Black's site for more info.  I promise, you will absolutely love their beans.  If you are not familiar with using the beans, do what I did and use your food processor to grind them up.
