Coffee Beanery supports the military!

At Coffee Beanery we have been sending coffee to our military serving our country oversees for years. Our customers have even gotten involved and can donate coffee to our troops while they shop for coffee on our web store at http://www.coffeebeanery.com/. For every pound donated by our customers Coffee Beanery Matches it!! Donated coffee is then sent to the non- profit group Operation Care Packages to be sent overseas to our military. We also send 15lbs of coffee and related products to 5 servicmen and women each month who are deployed overseas. I'm posting a couple of e-mails between our office and one of our soldiers in Iraq because it really makes our day when we hear this from our soldiers and I thought you would enjoy it too.

We want to say "Thank You" to everyone serving in the military, and we consider it a privilege to send coffee to them while they serve overseas!

From the SGT in Iraq:

Thank you very much for all the coffee. We all love it very much. I am very sorry that it has taken me so long to write an email thanking you and everyone at the Coffee Beanery. Things here can get pretty crazy and I can't seen to find the time to write people back in the States as often as I would like. I have one flavor request as of right now as that is the Hazelnut. Could you also throw in just a couple of decafs. If they are the large bags just one would be fine but if it is the smaller two of them. Thanks again.

From our Orders Department:

I just sent out the order for you for this month but I will keep this email and send out decaf. Hazelnut to you the next time... I assume you are a decaf. Drinker.... Do you want me to send you more decaf than regular on your next orders? Let me know and I will be happy to send you whatever you need! Thank you and all the soldiers overseas fighting to protect our country....

From the SGT in Iraq:

That sounds great. I am actually a "regular" drinker but there are a couple of soldiers who drink decaf because they can't have caffeine so I thought that they should be able to experience the wonderful coffee from the Coffee Beanery as well as everyone else. I was looking at the list and for the decaf drinkers the Chocolate Raspberry, and French Vanilla. I would love to try the Double Dutch Fudge, Hawaiian Coconut, Chocolate Raspberry and the English Toffee & Cream. I had forgotten about the list until after I had sent the first email. All the soldiers are loved the mugs and all the coffee that the Coffee Beanery is sending. Thank you again.

Let's Meet for Coffee~

What is coffee to us?

Coffee is like a fingerprint because we each take it so differently: in a large or small cup, glass or mug, with/without milk or just a drop, sweetened or no sugar, strong or weak, it really doesn’t matter.

At the same time, coffee is the biggest common denominator we have with billions of people around the world waking up to its awesome aroma every day.

On a personal level, coffee is the answer that reacts right away and motivates us by providing strength, energy and renewal. It is a powerful desire, a yearning that cannot be denied.Coffee is the experience happening right now and it continues to wash over each and every one of us that have already experienced everything and want more.

For all of us at Coffee Beanery, coffee is a way to learn about new cultures, new people and new tastes from around the world. We would like to share this world with you.When we drink coffee we want to continue to experience, taste, respond and create more and more new moments.

Coffee moments.

Amazing Ways to Use Coffee Grounds!!!

If you are like me and you drink alot of coffee then you have plenty of leftover, used coffee grounds after making a pot delicious Hawaiian Coconut coffee. I hadn't really thought about re-using them until the other day when I thought "What a waste"! So I decided to compile a list of different ways to re-use the grounds. Feel free to drop me a note if you try any of these and let me know how they worked! Of course in order to get used coffee grounds you need to buy coffee, in which case you can visit http://www.coffeebeanery.com/ for all your coffee needs!

1. Dull, hard hair? Rub left-over coffee grounds through wet hair and rinse. If you have brown hair the grounds add highlights!

2. Instead of buying expensive exfoliants try massaging used coffee grounds over your skin and rinse. It makes an excellent exfoliant!

3. After bathing your dog rub coffee grounds through your dogs fur. They are said to repell fleas..

4. Mix coffee grounds into the soil of bait worms to keep them alive.

5. Having issues with neighborhood cats using your garden as a litter box? Spread used coffee grounds and orange peels through out the garden to keep them away. It also fertilizes your soil and helps plants to thrive.

6. Used coffee grounds also can deodorize your freezer. Set a bowl with the grounds in the freezer to remove bad smells.

7. Coffee grounds repell ants!

8. Don't like the smell of your hands after chopping an onion? Rub coffee grounds on them to get rid of the smell.
