Coffee! It’s the completely safe stimulant of choice of marathon runners, football players … and the band Heart. This totally bizarre ’80s commercial from the National Coffee Association tries to convince us that rockers were mainlining coffee, not cocaine, before shows. As if! “Because coffee gives you the serenity to dream it, and the vitality to do it!” Um, sure, whatever you say weirdos. [YouTube]
I may have mentioned (more than once) that my first cup of coffee is the only thing that can get me out of bed in the morning. Add a cute mug to the mix and I’m practically jumping out of bed when my alarm goes off. Well, maybe not. But this Morning Mug will be the extra incentive I need to get going. When it’s cold, the mug displays a sleepy face. As you warms it with the heat of your coffee and you start to warm up to the day, so does its face. What a brilliant way to begin your morning. Just you and your mug waking up together.
There are few experiences more delightful than sipping espresso from a cute little espresso cup. Even if you don’t have an espresso machine, cute little espresso cups can be used for all kinds of fun things: holding candles or q-tips, as prep bowls for baking, or even as teeny tiny flower vases. Here are six artsy espresso cups to brighten up your kitchen (or bathroom, or bedroom, wherever)…
Nothing is as dear to my heart as my morning cup o’ joe. I couldn’t live without him. Now I can wear this stylish, sterling silver ring as a reminder of my love for coffee. Finally, the world will know that I’m devoted … to caffeine. Be careful. It’s piping hot. And you will be too when rocking one.
Don’t be a jerk, keep your morning coffee hot. As it gets colder outside, protect the sanctity of your most important accessory as a working woman — your morning coffee beverage. And look stylish doing it with one of these adorable Polka Dot Power thermoses. The stainless steel mug holds half a liter of whatever bevy you need to get your engine revving on a chilly morning. If you’re not a caffeine fiend (you amaze me by the way), fill it with a warm cup o’ soup and look sexy sipping your lunch.
Coffees with sexual enhancement properties do come with some, um, perks. But Australian health officials say to put the java down. Food Standards Australia New Zealand said the coffee brands Sexpresso and Rock Hard contain “analogues of sildenafil (Viagra),” which are “not declared on the label,” the Herald Sun reports. Sexual aids should not be added to food products, the health officials said, because it’s unclear how all the ingredients will interact. That’s too bad. After a few shots of Sexpresso in the morning, a dude could be up for anything. [Herald Sun AU] Keep reading »
It is officially too warm to drink hot coffee in the mornings. Iced coffee season is upon us! It’s a very fun time of year for caffeine addicts, but ceramic mugs are no longer sufficient. The Eco Cold Drink Cup is a green way to keep your iced coffee nice and chilly in the heat. As an added bonus, the insulated wall keeps the outside of the cup from getting “sweaty.” There is nothing worse than a drippy cup during your morning commute.
I love coffee, and probably spend around 10 percent of my income on buying espresso-heavy coffee treats. But not anymore! The at-home DeLonghi EC155 Espresso Maker produces the perfect shot of espresso, and contains a steam wand to froth up creamy steamed milk. I’m saving tons of money by making my fancy coffee drinks at home, and I feel like I’ve really stepped up my kitchen accoutrement game. Isn’t it so much nicer to say, “would you like a latte” than a cup of coffee, anyway?
For the happiest morning ever … (Slightly NSFW, after the jump…) Keep reading »
Here’s a reason to heart your morning coffee even more (as if you needed one). A new study says that caffeine may be a lady’s little helper in times of stress. When adequately caffeinated with a cup o’ joe, researchers found that women had better memory, focus, and an increased ability to work in groups, while that same amount of caffeine had the opposite effect on men. Why? The theory is that men tend to be more aggressive in stressful group situations whereas women like to collaborate. Duh. No scientific proof is necessary that I am a better human being with my morning dose of caffeine. As if some study could come between me and my addiction. As far as the men go … bwahahahahha!
