I am not drinking anything right now ...

I would realy like to escape work and spend a few hours at this coffee shop called 'Monte Carlo' over on 6th street right now though, they have some of the best blends.

I visited 'A Taste of Heaven' this morning on my way to the office and grabbed a Caramel Macchiato. This is one tasty drink.

espresso
milk
vanilla syrup
caramel
whipcream

Served nice and hot is the way it should be served. Goes very well with my breakfast claw.

Today I used up my last sample from a Christmas gift pack. It is from "Barnie's" , and the flavour is "Santa's white Christmas". I really can't describe it exept that it is not "christmas-y" but it is pretty good, and very different! Here is their description of it:
Flavored Santa's White Christmas®

The star of Barnie's lineup. Our #1 seller combines Barnie's Blend coffee with the flavors of coconut, nuts, sweet caramel and vanilla. This irresistible coffee will satisfy your craving for something smooth, rich and wonderful. Another fine Barnie's exclusive coffee.

Right now, Kicking Horse Coffee Kootenay Crossing Blend

I'm almost out of this Canadian Import, however. Next up is more Kicking Horse, Three Sisters Blend

I really love the Kootenay Crossing Blend- very rich and smooth

I've not yet tasted the Three Sisters, but I'll report!


BTW, moderators, there appears to be some problem with some of the Emoticons- they keep eating my text!

notmuffy....I dont drink flavored coffee but know that "santas white christmas" is one of their hottest sellers...but buy it whole bean and grind it yourself and you will see why Barnies managers cringe when you mention that coffee!! It has a white coating on it and it gums the grinders up like crazy!! I did a similar blend at my roastery....was only going to run it for x-mas and people are still asking for it(shouldn't have done it in the first place) Oh well give em what they want!!!

[tintinet]

What does the "white coating" on the beans consist of?

I can usually tolerate only small amounts of flavored coffee.

Right now, I'm drinking Kicking Horse Coffee's Three Sisters, a blend of light, dark, and medium roasts. It is quite mellow, but I find it less robust and less distinctive than the Kootenay Crossing blend.

its called sweet snow...what is it...umm....its like a mixture of sugar and flavoring. tintinet you lost me on the 3 hookers...I mean sisters blend...what beans are in the blend? If you like robust stick with Indonesian or blends with Indoneasian coffees in them.
