Plain Joe is now on Alltop!
September 29, 2008
Hey, we don’t understand how we got in either, but it must be Guy and NEENZ at Alltop must think our coffee is pretty darn good and that Joe is on to something that a bunch of other coffee places are missing; no fu-fu, just good strong coffee.
The economy may be taking a nosedive, but our latest Joe Poll shows that most Americans will give up their SUV, chocolate, house and even sex before giving up that first morning cup of coffee. And, while other places like Starbucks and Seattle’s Best or even McDonalds tries to figure out how to sell you an expensive cup of coffee and take your very last dime, just remember who stuck by your side with plain ol’ fashinioned strong, black coffee
That’s right, your good friend Joe!
Coffee snobs are everywhere
September 21, 2008
I like coffee. Just strong, black coffee. But, what I don’t like about coffee are the coffee snobs who know everything there is to know about the bean and figure that if you don’t also, you have no business drinking the black gold.
Phooey! Why can’t I just appreciate the smell, the warm goodness flowing down my throat, the atmosphere of an old coffee house without spoiling the romance that is contained in the unknown, the mystique of the bean? I don’t really want to know how it is grown, harvested, roasted, brewed, etc. Knowing that makes it real, familiar. I want a magical, mysterious relationship with my cup of coffee.
So, all you Joe haters who think that we’re not “real coffee people” because we enjoy a good cup of coffee while talking about things other than coffee…. phhhttttttttttttt!
Yeah, real mature, Joe.
Who cares. When you’re not a snob, you don’t have to act like one.
PS Guy, still waiting on the coffee link.. please tell me I don’t have to be a snob to get in 
How to tell if you are all grown up
September 10, 2008
I get asked a lot by the Gen Y generation how to tell when one of their ranks crosses into adulthood. Here is the no-nonsense, tried and true test. You have to pass all three of these things to say “I am an Adult.”
1. You have a job that pays your rent, in full, on time and every month.
2. You read a newspaper every day, in paper format.
3. You have developed a taste for strong, black coffee.
That’s it! All three and you are an adult.
Now, go out and make a difference for someone else.
