Review - Staresso Manual Coffee Maker

*This is a sponsored review. All opinion are 100% mine.

Each time I had convinced myself that I've seen almost every kind of coffee maker, something new comes to my attention. Which is exactly what happened when I learned about the new Staresso Manual Coffee Maker.

What exactly is the Staresso Manual Coffee Maker?

Well, it's kinda like a travel espresso machine that uses a vacuumed sealed pump to make a quick caffeinated shot.

Created in China, the unique manual hydraulic pumping system will give a pressure higher than 15 BAR level, which is higher than a normal espresso machine.

The Staresso unboxed!

Review - Brazil Santos Gourmet Coffee



There's no better way to start a rainy September morning than sipping on a strong cup of coffee, which is exactly what I've been doing today.

What kind of coffee am I drinking?

Brazil Santos Gourmet Coffee by Kaffina Kaffe Premium Gourmet, a new coffee company that is Kosher Certified. The #KaffinaKaffe can currently be purchased on Amazon.com for $16.99.

It's available in four different flavors - medium roasted Brazil Santos, medium roasted Colombian, medium roasted Guatemalan, and medium roasted Sumatra. The coffees are made from 100% pure high quality Arabica coffee beans. Each 12 oz. bag is resealable.

Review & Giveaway - Brooklyn Bean Roastery "Bold Variety" Roast Coffees


There's no reason for me to go into an excessive rambling about my love for coffee as I've already written many posts about my caffeine addiction; so it should be no surprise to anyone that I'm once again writing a review for a coffee brand.

This month I was sent the "Bold Variety" Roast Coffees from Brooklyn Bean Roastery, which contains 40 single-serve coffee cups. All the cups are compatible with most Keurig brewers. Brooklyn Bean Roastery coffees are made from 100% Arabica coffee beans.




The flavors are

Cyclone - a dark, extra bold roast with a sweet and smoky flavor. 

Fuhgeddaboutit -  an extremely dark, extra bold roast with a smoky blend.

Express-O - an espresso roast that was made for those who need a quick pick-me-up early in the mornings.

French Roast - a dark roast with an intense smoky flavor.

Monday Morning Madness #58: Kick Start Your Mornings With These Coffees!


There's no better way to kickoff a Monday morning than drinking a great cup of coffee! And coffee has becoming more and more popular because of the KEURIG craze!

Now, I don't own a KEURIG, but I do have a Hamilton Beach Flex Brew, which also uses K-Cups!

Earlier this month, I received the Java Factory Variety Pack, featuring 40 single-serve cups.

It has six different flavors:

Choconut (chocolate+coconut flavored coffee)
DA BOMB (extra bold dark roast coffee)
Wakey Wakey (light roast coffee)
Smooth Caffeinator (medium roast coffee)
Dark And Handsome (extra bold dark roast coffee)
Vanilla Dream (vanilla+butter toffee flavored coffee)

DA BOMB!

Where To Store Those Extra K-Cups?



If you're as big of a coffee drinker as I am, then you probably have tons of K-Cups just laying around in the way.

Personally, I already own a drawer-type K-Cup storage, but I still have many K-cups just tossed about. Luckily for me, I was sent the Oak Leaf K-Cup Carousel Tower to test out and review. The #OakLeaf tower retails for $52.99, but it can be purchased on Amazon currently for $13.29.

The storage tower is made from strong metal that has been painted black; though the handle is gray. The bottom part the carousel has a felt padding, so it won't scratch whatever surface it is placed on. Both sides of the tower will hold 15 K-Cups.
