National Irish Coffee Day is January 25th. Add a splash or two of Bailey's Irish Cream liqueur to your favorite cup of coffee and a dollop of freshly whipped cream to top it off. What a treat!
I've discovered that many people in today's fast paced world don't know how to make real whipped cream. If you've never tried it, you are really missing out. This final touch to your Irish Coffee is no less important than the selection of your gourmet coffee.
To make real whipped cream, invest in an old fashioned hand beater. You can still find them around. If not, you can use an electric mixer on a low speed. Purchase heavy whipping cream from your grocer and ...

Our current featured gourmet coffee is our Costa Rican Tarrazu coffee. Costa Rica produces some of the finest premium coffees in the world. Our coffee comes from the Cariblanco Estate in the famous Tarrazu region of Costa Rica. The Tarrazu region is made up of small coffee farms and plantations that grow coffee at a very high altitude. Tarrazu is the best growing region in Costa Rica, prized for its rich soil that produces such a bright, intense coffee flavor.
The rich soil along with the very high altitude produce a moderately high acidity level in this coffee. This acidity level offers the intense citrus flavor notes with a complex taste. This coffee is not a smooth flavor as with coffees ...

While world coffee prices remain somewhat volatile, we have seen further leveling out in some markets. Coffee pricing in some of the leading coffee producing countries has stabilized for now. We have passed along further cost reductions in reduced pricing for our customers on many of our gourmet coffees and flavored coffees. As the markets change, our pricing will reflect changes while we attempt to offer the lowest cost for our high quality coffee products.
An example of price effects on retail coffee is Colombian arabica coffee. The 2010 Colombian arabica crop export volume is down 38 percent. Couple this with increased demand for arabica coffee, especially from third world countries, and a severe...

Most everyone has noticed that coffee prices have increased during the past year. Our coffee costs have increased by 40% to 60% on our coffee during this past year and we've absorbed most of the cost to try and keep our retail pricing affordable. Every coffee retailer is dealing with these problems, whether they are a major world-wide coffee chain or a small retailer like ourselves.
There are several reasons why prices have increased. Much of the coffee producing regions have undergone difficult weather conditions including flooding and poor crop production. Along with this, third world countries have driven up demand because more people in these developing countries are moving from the cheaper robusta ......

Cool off with Iced Coffee. Here are easy steps to make iced coffee with your favorite gourmet coffee or flavored coffee.

3. Allow the coffee to cool to room temperature then pour directly over ice into a pitcher. Use the same amount .........
