February is Also for Coffee Lovers!
Right, so February is here, which means Valentines Day, and besides the bawdry aspects, February is also for coffee lovers!
Coffee Lovers Rejoice!
This about it, coffee doesn't judge. Nor does coffee cheat, cheap out on you, coffee is always there! Coffee is always there to give you hot, well, sips, and warm fuzzies. While, yes, coffee can be had any time of year, when it's cold out, and spring has not yet sprung, coffee has your back, always. That dark concoction, which is actually a solution - in more ways that one - warms and touches your souls like few lovers can.
Valentines Traditions Be Darned
Flowers, expensive dinners, dressing up, chocolate, jewelry, all of these are hallmarks of Valentines day, nay, February itself. And while coffee should be automatically included in this group, sadly it is not. Until now!
The video above
I found this terrific product at the local Walgreens, the All you Need is Coffee and Chocolate, a heart shaped box of candy, for about $8.00. In tjhe box were 20 drops of goodness, dark chocolate, caramel filled coffee flavored goodness. Yet, at .40ยข each you may thing that's a bit steep, but seriously, the amount of flavor, coupled with the small sample size, the price is more than fair.
Opening the box on up
As you can see in the image below, there are only 20 slots for the candy to sit in. that's okay though, because each one of these morsels contains coffee flavored dark chocolate, and sweet, stingy sticky caramel.
February is for coffee too
So, as Valentines Day approaches, keep in mind that February is for coffee too, even if it's coffee flavored dark chocolate with a gooey caramel center. After all, that sticky goodness is no worse that the stickiness of a relationship gone wrong, after such a great start, right? And coffee will never, ever leave you, forget your birthday, and anyone can have it any time! So celebrate coffee drinkers, and partake!

Coffee Trends
Idle curiosity got the better of me. Today I searched out the term Coffee Trends on Google, and I'm not terribly surprised at what I found. If you look back in time, you'll find that where we were, in the ago, is an excellent road map as to where we are going. This concept applies to almost any historical data, and it applies to coffee too.
Coffee Started Out Where?
Yemeni coffee
There's a lot of conjecture about where coffee drinking started. Most folks think it was in what is now modern day Yemen. However, there's little disputing that the growing of the coffee plants started in Ethiopia. However, it may have originated in Kenya, or Sudan, but most scholars pinpoint the start to Ethiopia.

Wilkins Coffee Muppet's
Even the Muppet's are, or were, coffee fiends!
Apparently, before the Muppet's became the Muppet's on the famed Sesame Street, and long before they were featured in films and the like, Jim Henson had the puppets starring in commercials, as the Wilkins Coffee Muppet's.
In this video clip are a few of many clips from Wilkins Instant Coffee featuring an early Kermit the Frog, and a sort of prototype mash of the cookie monster and Oscar the grouch. At least that is my guess. I guess Mr. Henson needed to make a buck, like we all do.
Not Surprising
I suppose the long view of the early Muppet's being violent ought not be overly surprising, especially Kermit. I suspect all people whom are overly friendly or boisterous of being closeted serial killers. Because, really, the devil doesn't come to you all rage filled, he beguiles you. Ted Bundy didn't come after women howling, he played nice, won their confidence in many cases, THEN turned into a killer.
Kermit the coffee fiend though...

Forto Coffee Shots - What Are They?
Walking around through various stores, if you have been paying attention, you may have seen Forto coffee shots on the shelves. Apparently I have not been paying close attention, as these little things just came to my attention last week, at my local Walgreen's. Reading up, I see that they are available at a lot of places, apparently, like Walmart, Ralph's, Amazon.com, even, oddly, advertised at Keurig.com. You can also find these coffee shots at their own website, Fortocoffee.com
What are they?
From what I can tell, it looks like Forto Coffee is positioning itself as an alternative to products like 5 hour energy. Or, maybe Monster, or, maybe Redbull.
