Are you tired of making the same old brew day in and day out? To be honest, I am NOT. I am a creature of habit and for the most part, I like having my huge mug of espresso in the morning and then a cup or two of brewed coffee during the day. Still, there are days when I feel like trying something new – we all get them. What I normally do is just head on over to the nearest Starbucks or Coffee Bean. It would be great to be able to make new coffee drinks at home, though…

Last week marked the end of an era for the world of coffee for Emilio Lavazza, the boss of the Italian coffee giant of the same name, has passed away. Lavazza has long been known in Italy as perhaps the most reliable name in the coffee business. The family business was founded way back in 1895 by Luigi Lavazza. The males of the family have run the helm since then.

Emilio Lavazza may not have been the founder of the company, but he is undoubtedly the person behind its expansion. He engaged in various activities that propelled the Lavazza name to great heights, both locally and internationally. I suppose that many of us should thank him for introducing their brand to the rest of the world.

For those of you who may not be that familiar with the name, here is a short teaser from their web site:

Spreading the aroma and quality of Italian espresso around the world has always been our main aim.

That is the reason why we strive for excellence and innovation, drawing strength from our experience established over more than a century of activity, since the early 1900’s, when Luigi Lavazza first invented the concept of the blend, the art of mixing coffee of different origins to obtain a harmonious and tasty product.

Today Lavazza is the leader when it comes to quality and is the symbol of Italian espresso and Italian identity worldwide.

Ask any Italian friend about them and you’ll probably get an earful (positive or negative, depending on who you ask). In any case, whether you know the brand or not, it is but right to pay homage to someone who played a huge role in the world of coffee. Farewell, Signore Lavazza.

Batangas coffee is my coffee of choice. It has a very bold flavor which makes many other blends pale in comparison. Unsurprisingly, I have only used this coffee for drinking purposes. To my delight, however, I discovered another use for Batangas coffee. Last month, a colleague of mine went around the office selling organic soaps, and guess what? She had something made of Batangas coffee!

The manufacturer is called Cycleina and they specialize in all sorts of organic soap. I have actually used a lot of their other varieties (flavors, if you will) but nothing has made me more satisfied than their Batangas coffee one. The soap bar is square shaped and not too thick. The best thing about it is that it has coffee grounds incorporated into the bar. The result is silky smooth skin because the grounds serve as a gentle exfoliant!

Seriously, I do not even have to use my loofah anymore when I use this soap when taking a shower. I am not so sure about its effectiveness as a facial soap – I am a bit iffy about using it as I am particular when it comes to facial products – but I do not see any serious problems with it. My bar is now gone, and I need to stock up. Oh, the best thing about it is it’s so cheap! Less than 2 dollars for one bar of sheer happiness! I wish they made lotions in the same variety. That would complete the bath set, wouldn’t it?

While I have not really had fruits in my coffee, the idea does not sound so bad at all, don’t you think? After all, the fruitiness should complement the strong flavor of coffee.

I recently heard about a company called Fruitology. Yeah, it sounds fruity and made me crack a smile when I first read the name, but in case you’re interested, they have recently launched a line of coffee fruit energy shots. Fruitology is actually a company known for its line of beverages and supplements – the distinguishing feature of which is “wholesomeness.”

Anyhow, their new line is called Energy Shot. The “secret ingredient” is KonaRed Coffee Fruit. This ingredient is supposed to give you the boost that you need to get through a tough day. In additional to the boost, you get fruity flavors that are supposed to refresh you. More from the press release:

In keeping with Fruitology’s promise to deliver unique, healthy-lifestyle products, each Coffee Fruit Energy Shot is “all natural” and preservative free with a fantastic gourmet flavor and added nutritional benefits such as 100% Daily Allowance of Vitamin C per shot. With its incredible nutritional properties, anti-oxidant power, and energy value, the addition of the coffee fruit also reinforces Fruitology’s mission to enhance the well-being of people around the world.

I’d still take my good old brewed coffee any day, but I’d be more than willing to give this a try. The products are supposed to be out in March. For more information, visit Fruitology’s web site.
