Apple or Coffee?


I heard a report on the radio this morning that an apple gives you more energy in the morning than caffeine. I figured I'd get the best of both worlds and have an apple with my coffee. I feel fantastic.

World's Best Coffee


Last night we went down to Chicago for dinner (Foodlife), Fireworks, and Parade. All the Christmas lights were lit for the first time downtown as well. We had a great time with friends from church and Missy from Carolina (who lives downtown). At dinner I drank some Intelligentsia brand coffee and then after the parade and fireworks we went to Intelligentsia for mochas. I used to be a barista at Starbucks. That leads me to this post. The best five coffee brands in the world. Feel free to offer your own favorites.

5. Newport ("roast their own" - not a chain - located in Bannockburn, Illinois)
4. Starbucks ("bold" brands - Espresso, Verona, Guatemala, etc.)
3. Dunn Bros. Coffee ("roast their own" - chain)
2. Intelligentsia (chain)
1. Trader Joe's (brew at home - especially like Peaberry)

An aside: I've never had Peet's. I don't particularly like McDonald's, Dunkin Donuts, Gloria Jeans, or Caribou - but can drink them.
