Coffee Talk I'm not afraid to admit that I'm a snob when it comes to coffee. I blame everyone who worked in downtown Minneapolis in 2003 for making me feel like a cup from Caribou or Starbucks was akin to a hall pass in grade school - you couldn't roam the skyways without one. I started on the fancy stuff - mostly mochas & lattes. And grande/large of course - more for your money. After a few weeks, I started bouncing checks and dodging creditors, since $4/beverage adds up real quick. I weaned myself down to coffee with half & half, and have been drinking it ever since. Problem is, I suffer from Folgerphobia (I just invented that word?) - had too many cups of tinny office coffee to trust anything other than premium (a.k.a. overpriced) beans. I went out on a limb recently and bought Safeway's private label Mocha Java, which was a pleasant surprise and seems to have impressed our house guests. I've always been curious if I could save a few hard-earned pennies by getting Folgers at home, but I tried some of their French Roast in Tahoe this weekend and that settles that. Good thing Saint Nick got me a couple pounds of Boo Bou for Christmas...
