Burr Coffee Grinders

8 O’Clock Coffee Mug is Gr8! Y’all might remember that a few weeks back I ordered up a coffee mug from Eight O’Clock Coffee ’s Accumul8 Rewards program. It just arrived and the first thing I did was have the girl-child snap a picture of it with her phone (my camera grew legs and walked away a couple of months ago) so y’all could see it. I will tell you that the photo does not do it justice. It’s a lovely 12 ounce mug – heavy enough to knock someone out with. The walls are thick – perfect for keeping coffee hot – and the handle is big enough to hold comfortable. And it’s black, a totally favorite color of mine. The only way it could have been better was if it was red. Included in the package is a coupon for a free 11.5-12 ounce bag of any kind of Eight O’Clock coffee (up to $6.99) and – an unexpected bonus – a delightful white ceramic stirring spoon that slips through holes in the handle for easy serving. It’s adorable! What did it cost me? The five minutes it took me to access the Accumul8 Rewards web site, fill in a few details, and enter the product code numbers on the two 3 lb bags of Eight O’Clock coffee I bought two months ago. No shipping fee, no nothing – just a few minutes of my time. AND – I’ve got two more bags sitting here, and will be buying another two when I do next month’s shopping in a couple of days. At this rate, I figure it will take me a few months to collect a full set – and just to tell you how much I love this mug… I’m ordering 3 more Eight O’Clock coffee collectible mugs instead of a $25 Visa gift card (2500 points).

Starbucks announced this morning that the company’s UK outlets will be offering its first 100% Fair Trade certified coffee from Rwanda starting in 2010. The company also announced its commitment to making all of its espresso from FairTrade certified coffee across the UK. According to the press release: The Fairtrade certified Rwandan coffee comes from the Dukunde Kawa co-op first visited by Starbucks coffee buyers in 2005 and Fairtrade certified since 2004. The selected coffee, which will be available in UK stores for a limited time due to the size of the production, is a fully-washed Bourbon arabica coffee coming from high-altitude farms Starbucks isn’t the only big name promoting Rwandan coffee recently. Rwanda, devastated by Civil War in the 1980s and 1990s, is still slowly recovering from a genocide that killed as many as 1,000,000 Rwandans in 1994. Coffee is the country’s major export and one of its most important economic sectors. For many of the country’s women, coffee represents a future for their children and their families. FairTrade certified coffee means that their work results in more than bare subsistence returns for their coffee. Last year, former U.S. president Bill Clinton and Scots philanthropist Sir Tom Hunter worked together with Rwandan coffee farmers to establish their own brand of coffee, Rwandan Farmers Coffee. Rwandan Farmers Coffee brand is available in Sainsbury’s stores across the UK. It’s not available yet in the U.S., so if anyone out there with a local Sainsbury’s has tried it, I’d love a review!

Bialetti Cafe Concerto on Sale? Y’all might remember this very sexy machine from way back in the winter when I put it on my wish list. It’s the Bialetti Cafe Concerto espresso machine, styled after the stage in a traditional Italian opera house. Beautiful, but price-y, I said at the time – not terribly expensive for an espresso machine, but at $349, definitely out of my pocketbook’s range, even if it did come with a bunch of cool extras like espresso cups and three kinds of coffee. Well – the Bialetti Shop dropped by to visit here at Coffee Break Blog and left a comment the other day with a heads up – keep your eye on Bialettishop.com for an upcoming deep discount on the Cafe Concerto, it said. Like.. really deep discount – about 40% off the regular price. For anyone out there who’s thinking of me kindly and wants to shower me with gifts, the Cafe Concerto is -still- on my wish list. If I getmy hands on one, I promise to give it a real review! Share and Enjoy:
