Drink up & stay caffeinated!!!  :)

Happy birthday #2!

Happy 2nd birthday to you, Koffee Kitsch!!

Time to java cup of brew ...  wait, better make that 2! 

Circle K coffee...thumbs up!

Last minute coffee news for 2015:

Circle K coffee gets a thumbs-up!

My 10-year-old, who usually doesn't care for coffee (how can he be related to me???) sampled Circle K's coffee and pronounced it to be "slightly great" and gave it a thumbs-up!  

And at only $1 for any size (of course, the XL --24 ounces of java--is the obvious choice!) between 1 pm & 1 am, it's also a great deal!  I give it a big thumbs-up, too!  :)

It's National Coffee Day-- how did I not know about this until it was almost too late?!?  (I heard about it on the radio, of all places!)  At least I found out just in time to celebrate by going to Dunkin Donuts and getting a free cup of joe!   Of course, every day is National Coffee Day for me and my fellow caffiends, right?  :)

Happy birthday to Pop!

Lifting a mug in honor of my father-in-law's would-have-been 88th b-day today!  Known as "Pop" to those closest to him, he was definitely a fellow 'caffiend'!!  He'd have a hot cup of java with pretty much everything-- from donuts to pizza and everything in-between!  Here's to you, Pop!  :)

Didn't know coffee could be so sad, but so cute!  :)

Intro / The Birth of KoffeeKitsch

Hi!  Allow me to introduce myself as "Caffiend" (my parents must've had ESP when they named me.)  I'm an almost lifelong coffee drinker - my mom always said that it would stunt my growth, but that didn't prevent me from reaching a lofty height of nearly 5 feet tall!  

Originally, I was going to have 2 separate blogs - one about coffee and one about "kitsch" - but coming up with a coffee-related blog name proved to be quite a challenge!!  Every possible coffee term, both common and not-so-common, seemed to be in use.  I guess that's a tribute to the mega-popularity of coffee! 

 My hubby & I brainstormed and came up with a ton of names; ones such as 'Bean There', 'Java Jive', 'Coffee Klatsch', etc. were taken; even sillier ones like 'Beanocchio' (which apparently is a little restaurant in NYC) and 'Perky Brewster' were in use.  In desperation, I even googled 'Perky Bitch'; that brought up some rather questionable things which had nothing to do with coffee.  I finally gave up and decided to combine my 2 blog topics--and thus, KoffeeKitsch was born!
