Coffee @ hello! yoshi

Have you heard of Java for Joes? If not, that’s ok, but you have just now heard of it. The idea is simple. Remember those men and women in the military who are fighting for our country? Yeah, them. They’re still over there. You know what they could use? Some Really good coffee. I know, I know. This isn’t a bad episode of Twin Peaks. I remember when I was in the military, we’d stand around that coffee machine, huddling, and waiting for the cup of coffee. Even if the coffee sucked, it was good. Coffee is a Really big deal.

So Cory Pape, a Location General Manager of Schwan’s came up with this idea to buy Schwan’s gourmet coffee for the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. That’s a pretty damn good idea.

So listen up, because this is the even more important part:

The goal is to send out 125,160 bags of Schwan’s Gourmet Coffee. When that goal is met, Schwan’s is going to donate $200,000 to Operation Spokane Heroes to help support the local families of military in the Greater Spokane area. Did you hear what I said? This helps the families of the military! Not only are we supporting our troops, we’re helping out their families!

So why are you still here? You should be buying the troops some coffee at Java for Joes!

And of course, I can’t end this without a Twin Peaks audio byte about Cooper talking about coffee:

coffeecup So for my birthday this past week, my wife bought me one of the best inventions ever. A Keurig Coffee Maker. I don’t often drink a bunch of coffee, so a single cup coffee maker is perfect for me. Sometimes I might drink 2 cups, but never more than that. I can’t justify brewing up 10 cups of coffee just for me. If there were another person who drank coffee in the house, it would work. But for now, the coffee maker just sits next to the Keurig, with the dunkin donuts coffee on top of it, waiting for me to get a hankering for DD coffee. Now that I think of it, I got that coffee maker from Joelle. It’s gotta be worth something right? She’s like a celebrity now. LOL

Anyways, why do I love the Keurig coffee maker? It makes perfect portioned coffee every time. Although I do have to say that my cups must be a bit bigger than the “standard” since it doesn’t fill it to the rim. But that’s ok. It also makes it the perfect temperature. Seriously. I know some people like their coffee scalding hot, but I’m certainly not one of them. While I like it hot, I don’t like it when it’s about as hot as the sun. I don’t need to burn my tongue drinking a good cup of joe. But the Keurig makes it just right. Another reason is the choices. There are plenty of K-cup manufacturers out there. And if you can’t find one that you like, you can also buy a re-usable K-cup. That way you can use your own preferred cup of coffee. Awesome right? I thought so too.

I’m so grateful to have a wife that bought me one of the best birthday presents ever. She’s pretty awesome too.

Yoshi has not been paid to endorse this coffee maker. He just loves a good cup of joe. Tasty! And HOT!
