When you think of the KGB, you might have visions of the Hammer and Sickle. When you think of KGBlend coffee from Daz Bog, you probably don’t think of a hammer and Zip Loc bag.
If you were up with me at 4 am this morning, your would have seen me smacking KGBlend coffee beans with a 16 ounce hammer. The unfortunate beans didn’t have the dignity of spinning around in a coffee grinder (that’s in storage while we build our house). Instead, the beans were dropped into a Zip Loc bag, sealed shut, and pounded for ten minutes with a rubber handled Eastwing.
If I had paid more attention to what coffee bag I was grabbing as I flew down the grocery isle in pseudo-shopping spree winner mode, I would have had an actual cup of coffee this morning.
Instead, I sat in the dark and lingered over a hot cup of “coffee-flavored water beverage.” And that’s after I poured the water back and forth through the strainer 10 times.
If you plan on living 30 miles from the grocery store, I have one piece of advice, buy a bigger hammer.
Hahahaha! I received a bag of Starbucks beans from one of my well-meaning children on Mother’s Day, I don’t own a bean grinder. So I sent it along home with my mother, who happened to be visiting, as she does own a grinder. On my last visit home I brought the ground ” knock your socks off ” French Roast back with me. It is stashed in the freezer and a spoonful is added to my regular cheap (?!- is there such a thing?) coffee to give it a hint of the gourmet Oh what we won’t do for a cup o’ joe in the mornings!
p.s. the last time I tried to “grind” something, peanuts I think, for lack of a grinder , I made the mistake of using a pleated sandwich bag, therefore requiring my finger to be placed to close to the whamming of the hammer resulting in a black ened fingernail.
This is how I wake up. No staying asleep when he does this!
