Every Time I Get Out, They Pull Me Back In!
It seems that every time Editor Steve gives me an assignment, it falls under the category of "Some Bad Habit I've Finally Kicked After A Long And Arduous Struggle And Have No Wish To Be Hooked On Again". First it was delving back into the land of Dungeons and Dragons, a land I frequented far too often in college. The current assignment is to review a trey cool coffee information website, Single Serve Coffee despite the fact that I've managed to finally kick my three cups a day of Starbucks addiction. What's next, a retrospective on Magic: The Gathering through the years? (No Steve).
I'll have a half double decaffeinated half-caf, with a twist of lemon.
My addiction aside, Single Serve Coffee is a wonderful, perky resource for any online java fiend. It's a weblog with one single solitary purpose, to help you achieve coffee nirvana: Being able to create the best cup of coffee in the world, every morning, right in your kitchen. They review everything from the newest machines to hit the market to the best coffee tables for your living room. A recent article reviewing Easypods, coffee filters filled with coffee providing easy brewing and cleanup, took you step by step through the process, completely illustrated (with nifty photos) with all the info you need.
Java Infused Energy
Single Serve Coffee also provides links on where to find all the equipment and accessories you need and even has a newsletter to provide you with updates. As far as blogs go, it's well designed, well written, and the enthusiasm for their singular love can certainly be felt with every caffeinated keystroke, something that many blogs tend to lack. So if you're ever wondering where to find the best cuppa joe you can get, check out Single Serve Coffee for some perky tips. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a Grande Drip and Raspberry Scone coming my way.
