Coffee Monday

Good morning!

Yesterday I saw a Facebook post where the person was lamenting on the distance from their bed to the coffee maker.  I then searched for coffee alarm clock.  There were two that stood out.  One is in the kickstarter process but absolutely amazing and appeals to  my inner geek.  It is called the Barisieur

See what I mean?  It comes in a sleek black and wood grain,

or white and a lighter wood tone.

Be sure to watch the video.   This is a great idea.  If you would like to see this become a reality you can donate to their kickstarter campaign.

I also found this lovely little alarm clock for those tea drinkers amongst us.

It is the Swan Vintage Teasmade and Alarm Clock.  It can be purchased a their website and I found it on Amazon

Good morning!

I stumbled across a new to me trend in footwear.  Custom socks.  Yes. It’s a thing.  Since this IS Coffee Monday,  I will keep with coffee themed socks.  The first one can actually be left up to your interpretation.

Perfect for weekends or anytime you want to subtly suggest that you need coffee. 😉

Or there is this one

The last couple of weeks I have been posting gift ideas for coffee lovers that I found on the Internet.  This weekend I asked friends what they would give to some one or  what they would like to receive as coffee related gifts.  Their responses included, coffee subscriptions, gift cards to a coffee shop or coffee related apparel.

Gift cards are something that I tend to get from our local coffee shop or you can buy one from the national company that we all know and love.  The places to buy coffee themed t-shirts that were mentioned were TeeFury.com  (I have the Caffeine Powers Activate t-shirt) and Teespring.com.   I really like this one for the holidays. 😉  coffee-makes-me-merry-and-bright-teespring

The gift idea that intrigued me the most were the coffee subscriptions.

I searched the internet and found a couple of sites that give their “Best of”  list of companies that have coffee subscriptions.  A coffee subscription provides a selection of your choice of coffee delivered at intervals you choose.  Some sites have more options than others.

The first site I found was Gear Patrols – 10 Best Online Coffee Subscription Services

The second one is The Kitchn.com and their 

10 Coffee Subscriptions that Let You Have Coffee Beans Delivered to Your Door

One of the things I like about the  Kitchn (not mis-spelled) article is they provide links for single roasters as well as multiple roaster subscriptions.  From their site:  Nowadays, there are independent roasters popping up just about everywhere, and subscription services who source their coffee from multiple roasters are a great way way to discover these businesses without going on an extended road trip to visit them all in person.

I want to thank everyone for their great ideas.  I hope you find these helpful when shopping for your coffee loving family and friends or maybe a little something for yourself.

Happy Holidays,

Melyna

I ran across another Buzzfeed post on Pinterest this weekend.

The title of the piece is:

How could you not click on that?

You will find some of the most unusual products they have chosen for coffee drinkers.  Here are a few that stood out:

You know how you can’t find a coaster for your coffee cup or someone carelessly sets something on your wooden table and leaves a water stain.  This floating coffee cup takes care of that.  find it at Floatingmug.com

Next is an alarm clock that wakes you with fresh brewed coffee.  It is a product called The Barisieur.  I am not sure if it is in production. The website states it has met it’s Indiegogo fund goal.  I did not see an actual buy link.

What an interesting way to wake up.
