Nuance Coffee and Tea's Coffee Blog

If you are looking for something to warm you up, this holiday season, and you enjoy both coffee and chocolate this may be just the beverage for you.

Coffee Infused Drinking Chocolate:

1 -  Bag Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate, Double Chocolate, or Dark Chocolate Pieces / Chips.  (Your choice of flavor)

1 -  Quart Room Temp. Half-and-Half or Whipping Cream. (you may use whole milk or 2% but it will not be as rich and decadent)

How can the “Micro-Roasters”, and local coffee shops, compete with the “Mega-Chain” roasters and coffee franchises?  In this age of mass production, mass consumption and constant inundation, by mass advertising, how can the “Little Fish” swim among the “Sharks” (or mermaids) and survive?   

Does coffee have to be expensive to be great?  Why does the price, of one roaster’s coffee vary, from that of another roaster’s, for the exact same coffee?  My coffee loving friends, and I, have debated these questions over many a cup of expensive and inexpensive coffee.  I have had expensive coffee, that was absolutely terrible, inexpensive coffee, that made me want to weep, because it was so flavorful, and vice-versa.
