The highlight? We unbox and taste two brand-new flavored coffees sent by a flavor company celebrating the rumored "U.S. Royal Wedding" of Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce: • Chai Sugar Cookie ☕️ – warm baking spices, creamy chai, and buttery cookie finish (think gingerbread meets cozy chai) • Raspberry Wedding Cake ☕️ – bright jammy raspberry, fluffy vanilla cake, delicate almond notes, and an elegant finish

We give our honest thoughts (base coffee strength, how the flavors shine, and whether they nailed the wedding theme), plus chat about Coffee Beanery favorites, past subscription box hits, flavor creation secrets, and fun mixing ideas from viewers.

If you love flavored coffee, behind-the-scenes coffee talk, or just good vibes with your morning brew, this one’s for you! Drop your flavor suggestions in the comments—we read them all.

We had a BLAST at our first live shop last week—glitches and all! The $75 mystery holiday bundles were the biggest hit (value way over $75—packed and shipping soon!), plus tons of gift baskets flying out. We're still catching up from Monday, but everything's moving fast. Our 5-day sale ends Friday—last chance for deals before the big day!

We're chatting:

• Holiday prep chaos (stockings take FOREVER—Patti's stuffing Mom & Dad's too!),
• Wrapping woes (no floor-wrapping after 40—kitchen table or bust!),
• Coffee health perks (good for your liver, antioxidants—drink up!),
• Organ debates (why do we have appendices/gallbladders if we can live without 'em?),
• Busy weekends (surprise 70th birthday party for Mom, Nutcracker performances, big-girl room reveals for Stell!),
• And why Britain’s been customer service queen 24/7 (store's closed for reno, but everyone's missing their espresso!).

We're closed next Wednesday (Christmas Eve lunch mix-up—oops!), but we'll be back for New Year's Eve. No live next week—enjoy the holidays!

What's in YOUR stocking? Favorite holiday coffee? Best mystery bundle guess? Drop it in the comments—we're reading every one! ❤️ Huge thanks for the love—you make the season bright.

Merry Christmas & happy holidays, Sippers! Stay warm, safe, and caffeinated. See you in the new year! 🎅☕❄️

We're sipping Butter Rum Cake decaf this morning (so cozy!), mixing Mary Mocha Mint with chocolate protein shakes for peppermint mocha magic, and chatting all things holiday chaos:

• Thanksgiving recap—Lori's $54 brine kit turkey was juicy perfection (bye-bye dry turkey forever!).
• Family favorites, missing sides (hash brown casserole regrets), and epic cheese-yelling stories 😂
• Concert vibes, wedding bar tab drama (bottom-shelf liquor? Upgrade recommended!), and wild Jamaica honeymoon tales (poi = wallpaper paste, yuck).
• Plant talk gone wild—Britain's coffee plant is a total diva, money trees are dying (indicative of the wallet?), and we're trading "rescued" plants like pros. No Miracle-Gro soil moths here!
• Fashion fails: skinny jeans vs. trendy wide-legs (winter Michigan says no), airport pajamas debate, and thigh chafe survival hacks.
• Coffee prices update—still high (41%+ up from last year), but a tiny dip and no U.S. hurricane hits this season? Weird weather wins.

We're throwing around ideas for a live shopping event soon (TikTok + multi-platform, games, prizes, maybe some rare flavors like sage stuffing or gumdrop?). Would you join? Drop a yes below!

Thanks for keeping us busy and giggling—we're thankful for YOU! ❤️ Grab those deals, enter the giveaways, and tell us: What's your go-to holiday coffee? Best Cyber Week score? Plant rescue story? We read every comment!

See you next week (maybe at our live shop?). Happy December, Sippers! ☕❄️🎅

We’re tasting all four incredible flavors (and yes, the kids are helping—Estelle's our hardest worker making K-Cups!): 🥧 Cranberry Fig Shortbread – Sweet fig, tart cranberry, and buttery shortbread vibes (fig lovers, this one's for you!) 🍫 Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Tart – Rich chocolate, warm pecan, and that perfect bourbon kick (our fave—10/10 delicious!) ☕ Vanilla Chai Cupcake – Aromatic vanilla with creamy chai spice swirl (tastes like a dirty chai—yum!) 🍰 Autumn Spice Cake – Warm, cozy cake with classic autumn spices (so good, we can't pick a favorite!)

These are flying off the shelves—seriously, every influencer who tried the box is obsessed! If you're in the $25 sip level (12 pods or four 2.5oz bags), upgrade to full size for the best value. And shoutout to our Swiss Water Process decaf—99.9% caffeine-free, no chemicals, perfect for night sipping!

We’re dishing on life lately: Britain spilled about her epic Maroon 5 concert at Little Caesars Arena last night (Claire Rosinkranz was the adorable opener—young Taylor Swift energy!—and Adam Levine sounded amazing live, even if the girls were mostly there for Claire!). The family went to see Wicked (Estelle's hilarious review: "It was good... but really weird!"—especially the chest-pressing, singing-into-each-other's-mouth parts. Cringe-tastic, but we loved it too!).

Plus: Puppy chaos (Duke needs potty breaks!), weather talk (snow incoming? Gloomy Cali at 60° feels like a heatwave to us!), Black Friday sales live now, last call on subscriptions (almost gone—grab 'em!), and holiday gift sets shipping out fast. We're thankful for YOU—family, friends, and all the coffee love. ❤️

Whether you're brining your turkey (Lori's already in the brine bath!), thawing, or ordering takeout, have the best Thanksgiving surrounded by the people (and pups) you love. Big hugs if you're solo—we're sending them your way!

What's your favorite from the Friendsgiving box? Concert stories? Thanksgiving plans? Drop it below—we read every comment! See you next Wednesday (post-Thanksgiving recovery vibes). Happy Thanksgiving, Sippers! 🦃☕🎶

Hey coffee lovers! Good morning from Coffee Beanery Sip and Share – it's Britain, Laurie, and Patti here, with our furry sidekicks Duke and Daisy demanding morning cuddles (tragedy if skipped!). Britain's fresh from a Sabrina Carpenter concert in Toronto – drove 9 hours round-trip, waited 5 hours inside (VIP perks for Sedona: mocktails and photo ops), then 2 more outside in 39-degree chill. No layers allowed, but Canadians rocked t-shirts like pros! Crowd was sweet – nice peeps exchanging Instas, one girl even guarded Sedona like a pro. Sabrina matched Sedona's black/silver outfit (totally on purpose, right?). Britain powered through with "A Court of Thorns and Roses" audiobook while Sedona snoozed. Epic mom win, but whew – that drive!

Metric mayhem: Kilometers? Celsius? We’re the holdouts – even soda's in liters, but road signs switching to French in Montreal? Confusing! Slippery roads at 35°F had us white-knuckling. Pups interrupting: Duke's a snack beggar, yelling 'til he gets one (puppy parenting 101: If they demand, deliver? Nope, but we do anyway!). Daisy's chill, chewing thumbs like a pro.

Hawaiian candy tasting: Lychee peelers (perfumey – like eating a bottle!), mango better but still weird (peelable? Wax? Made in China, popular in Honolulu). Kona bars: Passion fruit mellow, hibiscus subtle (dark Belgian chocolate, 60% cacao – yum aftertaste!), macadamia super sweet with coffee crunch. Sedona loves 'em; we're mixed – texture odd, but fun try!

Gift set spotlight: Gourmet Favorite packed with coffee, mug, cocoa, crackers, cookies, jam (Bonnie Marie's story? Holocaust-inspired – cool!). Adventure Trunk: 20 unflavored samplers (half varietals). Luxe Trunk: 4 whole bean unflavored bags + stainless mugs. Christmas tree pods live, Advent calendars flying (12-day book-style or 24 pods of holiday flavors). 25% off Veterans Day sale ends today – stock up, 'cause next year might not happen!

Chaotic week: Surprise 40-person tour bus (made a quick order form – they loved the process!). Training newbies amid madness, but fun questions. Jamaican Blue Mountain: Comes in sealed barrels from Mavis Bank – 100% pure, pricey but bomb (hoping roads ok for our trip farm visit; if not, dolphin swims!). Prayers for Jamaica's rebuild – hardworking folks with machetes are inspiring.

Family chats: Christmas shopping started (wrapping too – kids' lists? Surprise 'em, but not overboard). Growing fam means more gifts – equal for all? Love language: Gifts! Pups' bdays: Willie turned 1 with cake, bandana, biscuits – balls in frosting for max joy.

Thanks for sipping with us – wonderful week! Share concert tales or weird candy stories. New barrels soon! ☕🐶🎤 – Britain, Laurie, and Patti

Hey coffee crew! Good morning from Coffee Beanery Sip and Share – it's Britain, Patti, and Laurie here, with special guest star Willie the golden retriever stealing the show! This big boy's turning one on Saturday (Nov 8th) – can you believe it? He's 80+ pounds of pure lap-dog energy, convinced he belongs right on our laps. He was chill before the live, but once Dad left, it was game on: eating crinkle paper, ripping boxes, and hunting for balls under the couch. Smart pup even smacked his head on the desk and just shrugged it off – golden retriever energy for real! We love him to bits; he's our office mascot, barking at guests 'cause he wants ALL the pets.

Busy week recap: Our Halloween sale was wild – 40% off treats, but some folks turned it into tricks with nasty calls and emails. Jessica was almost in tears from the yelling; it's just coffee, not life or death! We handled a few bad actors before, but this was 30-40 complaints – no thanks. Sorry to those who missed out (check your emails/texts next time!), but congrats to the winners. We gave extras to some, and everyone got at least 20%. Bummer, but we might skip that format; maybe tweak for St. Patrick's Day. Thanks for being chill, our live fam – you're the best!

Most Halloween orders shipped (unless pre-ground Hawaiian Coconut – those go today). Shoutouts: Mo's jellyfish costume rocked (umbrella vibes for rain!), and her indoor decor is goals with lights and pumpkins. Patti's hubby went all out: HBK wrestler getup, posing for pics, and a hot chocolate stand. We hit Target clearance – everything 90% off, two carts full for $40! Pumpkins rolling everywhere, employees laughing and helping. He's obsessed; we joked about a Halloween storage unit. Kids inherit it all one day – sorry, not sorry!

Holiday hype: Dubai Chocolate launched (emails out this week, but live now – yum with banana or gladiola!). Advent calendars flying off shelves: 12-day book-style with 2.5oz bags or 24 pods of holiday flavors. New gift sets! Adventure Trunk: 20 unflavored samplers (half varietals, half flavored) – perfect for purists. Luxe Trunk: 4 whole bean unflavored coffees (house blend to dark roasts) + two stainless mugs for serious brewers. We heard your requests – no tiny whole bean packs (too tricky), but these are spot-on. All gift sets ground or pods; add refillable pods for Keurig fans!

Personal chats: Time flies – October vanished, holidays here! Patti's hooked on decaf butter rum; Laurie's on banana; Britain's breakfast blend obsessed. Hubby threatened grocery store coffee if no more from work – ha! Christmas shopping started (Prime Day UGG blankets for $50 each – soft heaven!). Kids get books/snacks over toys; redoing Estelle's room as her gift (surprise during gymnastics trip?). Experiences rock: Harlem Globetrotters with grandparents, pottery classes. Consumables > clutter – coffee's perfect (use it up, no shelf dust)!

Randoms: Pool regrets (above-ground cover fail – better drain/power wash); flaming pumpkin contest winner (how no melt?); UPS Kentucky crash (prayers – hope no packages lost); Jamaica hurricane aftermath (Ocho Rios ok, but Montego Bay wrecked – our travel agent's updating). Willie wrecked our boxes, but he's the goodest boy – ginger cat energy, sharing one brain cell!

Thanks for sipping with us – wonderful week ahead! Share your pup stories, holiday hauls, or fave flavors. Veterans Day promo soon? Maybe! ☕🐶🎄 – Britain, Patti, and Laurie

Pet insurance chat: Britain's thinking about it after Houston's nudge, but deductibles and exclusions? Meh. One host's son has it, but surgeries aren't covered – oof. Weather's chilly (30s-50s), perfect for warm coffee. Hunting season's on: Laurie's hubby broke his bow, so he's using Estelle's crossbow. Kids are into it – Dallas has a bow, but needs grown-up gear for deer. Funny stories: Logan's first hunt, stuck in a tree 'cause the ladder fell (Houston to the rescue!). Jason didn't grow up hunting, called a friend for "what now?" after his first deer. Michigan thing – schools close for opening day!

Halloween coffees are flying off shelves: Peanut Butter Banana is #1, Mango Chili a surprise fave (someone wants it permanent!). Britain's DNA test bombshell: Can't process caffeine – decaf only! But coffee's great for health, so our chemical-free decaf saves the day. It flagged folic acid issues (explains prenatal sickness), low protein needs (50% carbs, yay!), no nuts/soy/melons. Biohacking vibes: Supplements tailored, but not their pricey custom ones – Amazon haul for $100/3 months. No fasting for her (high hunger drive), and butter's a no-go. Fascinating how DNA doesn't change – curious what ours would say!

Food rants: We're picky! Britain hates textures, Laurie's on Little Caesars cheese bread diet (3 sticks/day = 3 days' meals). Patti loves Aldi salads, but some bags are sus. Allergies suck – Donna can't do poultry (food poisoning symptoms). Kids are picky too: Sedona, Estelle (rule follower – waits for coach's OK at games). Opposite: Lane the rule breaker! Hilarious 911 prank from kids – made up burglary story to avoid trouble. Britain called 911 as a kid in Girl Scouts to "test" it. Toy wars with nephews: Loudest gifts ever!

Tasting time: Our new Dubai Chocolate coffee is in our cups – so warm and delish! Launching Saturday (Nov 1) with store drinks: Iced matcha with chocolate cold foam and Dubai hot cocoa. Not permanent yet, but a social sensation. Crumble's Dubai brownies? Kids loved, but Britain meh – prefers big bars from Horrocks (250 cal/piece, share with hubby). Pistachio bars recipe incoming – buttercake with cream cheese swirl. Fave flavors: Blueberry Cobbler, Butter Rum, Black Cherry, Caramel Pecan Pie. All in decaf too!

Big news: Halloween sale Friday (Oct 31, 11am Eastern) – tricks or treats! Codes on socials/email, VIP first. Load carts, double-check (coffee only, not merch). We'll live in costumes – Sedona approved! Store shoutouts: Manaka, PA's sweetest fam (Marissa started at 15, now mom of two). Past spots in Montgomery Mall, Warrington.

Off-topic: Saw "It Ends With Us" with mom – sweet time, reminder to cherish parents. Donna, hugs – miss our moms too. Miriam's jokes crack us up! Thanks for chatting – have a wonderful week. Share your naughty pet stories or DNA surprises! ☕🐶🎃 – Britain, Laurie, Patti

Exciting pup update: Grooming day! Finally seeing Duke's gorgeous eyes and Daisy's full face – her fur's like a fan over her nose. Britain hates hair in the face (emo bangs trauma), but dogs? They adapt. Happy Wednesday, everyone – this weather's perfect for Halloween prep. Our influencers are dropping spooky videos with that eerie music, getting us pumped. Patti's hubby is like a kid: clearance decor hauls, including an 8-foot animatronic knife-wielder by the stairs (morning jump scare!). He dresses as a wrestler – too funny! Britain shared how visitors from China thought her teddy bear-filled house was for kids. Embrace the fun stuff, right?

We've got holiday flavors rolling: Merry Mocha Mint, Cinnamon Holiday Blend, and Eggnog – thanks to Nessa for packing Patti's order spot-on. Decaf Merry Mocha Mint's brewing today after delays (late truck, mis-wrapped film – sent it back!). Nessa's off to police academy next week – thrilled for her new path! We're hiring; Deborah volunteered but that commute's brutal. Patti interviewed a serious candidate yesterday – current 45-min drive with weekend on-call sounds awful. Our vibe's family-focused, no mandatory OT. Weird coincidence: Recent applicants all had "Ash" names – Ashley, Ashlin, Ashton. Patti joked about adopting them, but her hubby can barely handle one Patti!

This month's box was tricky but fun – started as potion-mixing, evolved to Frankenstein mashups. Unique flavors took tons of tastings! Options: 2.5oz bags, 12 pods, or full-size brew/ground – reg/decaf, monthly surprises.

Tasting time!

• Spooky Peanut Butter Banana: Sweet mashup – fan fave already! Banana flavors kill it; allergen-free (nut-safe). Britain loves PB anything; Patti gives her dogs PB+honey (Manuka's liver-boosting). New study: Introduce peanuts to babies early for tolerance.
• Haunted Honey Cinnamon: Sweet honey + cinnamon swirl. Britain hates honey (tastes like honey – confirmed!), but we love it. Jasmine gourmet scent; amazing iced!
• Mango Chocolate Chili: Wild blend – mango first, then chocolate, chili spice (no heat, but brain tricks you). Surprise hit – deep flavor, sinus-clearing. Inspired spicy candies/Tajin; tweaked for perfection. Wants permanent status!
• Pumpkin Chocolate: Rich pumpkin + decadent chocolate. Fun twists!

Boxes live today (22nd monthly) – hope yours arrived! Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein (Jessica's fave – black-paper edition for book club pumpkins). Britain learned it's the doctor, not monster (thanks John's horror tats).

Thanks for sipping with us – wonderful week ahead! Halloween sale next Friday? Maybe! Share fave flavors/spooky tales. ☕🐶🎃 – Britain, Laurie, Patti

First Up: Cinnamon Holiday Blend (CHB) – Our #3 Bestseller! Oh em GEE, this one's a CLASSIC! Only around for 2.5 months, but it sells out FASTER than Santa's sleigh. "Nice & cinnamony with a hint of almonds—tastes like CHRISTMAS!" 🎅 Sedona (the cinnamon rebel in her fam) gave it a big thumbs up, while Patti's like, "Love cinnamon... just NOT in my coffee! 😂" We all agreed: It's cozy AF. Pro tip: Pair it with our new holiday mugs for the ultimate gift vibe!

The Eggnog Shocker – NEW This Year & FLYING Off Shelves! Y'ALL, we were SHOOK! Laurie admitted, "I'm not even an eggnog fan... but this coffee? OBSESSED!" It's got that sneaky booze note + cinnamon kick—tastes like spiked holiday cheer without the raw eggs (ew, right??). Patti: "Real eggnog? Gross. But this? YES PLEASE!" Viewer Debra wasn't sold IRL, but Mo's hoarding a half-gallon in her fridge. 😂 Who's team #EggnogCoffee? Drop your vote below—we remade batches NON-STOP 'cause YOU CLEARED US OUT!

Merry Mocha Mint – Our Chocolate Peppermint Glow-Up! Renamed from "Peppermint Twist" (sounded too candy-cane-y!) to highlight the CHOCO magic. "Clear chocolate mint taste—like a Harry Potter candy cane!" 🧙‍♂️ Jason nailed it with our new creamer. Britain & Sedona devoured it: "Top pick EVERY TIME!" Surprising? It outsells CHB less than we thought—change that, fam! Who's grabbing a bag??

Pop Culture Tangents – Buckle Up! DOVE into Harry Potter deep: Laurie = Gryffindor (brave AF), Patti & Britain = Hufflepuff loyalists, Sedona's bro switched from Hufflepuff to Ravenclaw at 11. "Truest self at 11—Harry could've gone Slytherin evil!" 🐍 Took the Pottermore test LIVE—try it & comment your house! Then: Christmas Movies early? It's a Wonderful Life in COLOR? "Weird after B&W Jimmy Stewart!" Classic or nah? 🎥❄️

Our Cozy Merch Drop: Last Pumpkin X Sweat—obsessed! Soft, washable, cheaper than school gear. Snag before snow! 🧡

Whew, what a ride! 50 years as family-run (Joan & Julius still kickin'!)—Jamaica convention next year! Tag a friend for orchard dates, comment your fave flavor/house/baby name, & subscribe for weekly sips. Love you ALL—wonderful week, Beanery Fam! See ya next Tuesday! 💕☕

We’ve got a lineup of desserts that’ll make your mouth water: a fudgy chocolate caramel pretzel-crusted brownie from Beastro (yep, it’s as epic as it sounds), My Grandma’s of New England cinnamon walnut and banana coffee cakes (Will’s obsessed, and we get why), and Patti’s homemade lemon loaf cake that’s got a tart kick (spoiler: her son wasn’t impressed, but we’ll give it a fair shot). Oh, and don’t ask about the chocolate chip cookie disaster—let’s just say the office smells like burnt candles, and Patti’s blaming the air fryer. 😅

On the coffee front, we’re brewing up a storm with our house Beanery Blend (Bret’s basic-but-lovable go-to), a bold French Roast, a sweet Chocolate Marshmallow, a spicy Cinnamon Spice, and the bright, smooth Gladiola. We’re following the golden rule of pairing: match rich, dark desserts with strong coffees and lighter, fruitier sweets with bright roasts. But you know us—we’re not afraid to break the rules and try some wild combos, like cinnamon-on-cinnamon insanity or a chocolate raspberry pairing we wish we’d brought!

Join us as we sip, munch, and banter our way through this taste test. Will’s pouring espresso shots like they’re going out of style (eight shots in one cup? Send help!), Bret’s rocking his new Coffee Beanery shirt (because “I like coffee, murder shows, and about three people” is his life motto), and Patti’s dodging soggy dessert crumbs like they’re her mortal enemy. We’re dishing on everything from restaurant horror stories (soggy bread in the dishwasher, anyone?) to lobster roll dreams (shoutout to Mo on Cape Cod living her best seafood life). Plus, we’re spilling the tea on our favorite coffees, from Gladiola’s Costa Rican smoothness to the Chocolate Orange flavor that’s got Patti hyped.

Expect some serious laughs, a few “ew, no dunking” moments, and our honest takes on what pairs best. Will the French Roast and brownie steal the show? Will the lemon loaf and Gladiola be a zesty match made in heaven? Or will Will’s espresso obsession lead to heart palpitations? You’ll have to watch to find out! We’re also reading your comments live (hey, Donna and Mo!), so drop us a line and let us know your favorite coffee-dessert combos or if you’re Team Dunk or Team No-Crumbs like Patti.

Grab a cup, snag a sweet treat, and join us for this deliciously chaotic episode. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and tell us what you want us to try next—maybe lobster rolls with espresso? (Laurie, we’re looking at you for that company card!) See you next week for more coffee-fueled shenanigans! ☕😜

#CoffeeBeanery #CoffeeAndDessert #TasteTest #PattiBretWill #EspressoVibes #SweetTreats

In this episode, we’re spilling the beans (pun intended!) on our newest coffee obsession: the Groovy 70s subscription box! Think Almond Biscotti, Cherry Jello, Blueberry Crisp, and Chocolate Fondue—flavors so good they’ll transport you straight back to bell bottoms and disco balls. We’re dishing on why these flavors are giving us all the nostalgic feels, with Britain fangirling over blueberry, Laurie sneaking sips of chocolate fondue, and Patti declaring her love for almond biscotti. Plus, we’re giving a shoutout to our VIPs who get early access to these retro-inspired blends—because who doesn’t love feeling like a coffee rockstar?

But hold up, it’s not just about coffee (though, let’s be real, that’s the star of the show). We’re also diving into the adorable chaos of Daisy and Duke, our newest Coffee Beanery mascots. These tiny Shih Tzus are stealing hearts with their Lorax-like looks and sassy personalities. Daisy’s a bit of a biter (ouch, Britain!), while Duke’s out here snoring like a champ. We’re sharing all the puppy parenthood highs and lows, from their speedy Pac-Man runs across the golf course to Laurie’s near-tears moment thinking she couldn’t handle two pups. Spoiler: they’re worth every second of the madness!

Oh, and we’re getting ready for spooky season! Halloween’s around the corner, and we’re already dreaming up costumes (Laurie’s in charge, as always). Will we be Minnie and Daisy at a Florida Halloween party? Or something totally out-of-left-field? You’ll have to stay tuned to find out. We’re also hyped for upcoming concerts—Sabrina Carpenter, anyone? Britain’s secretly hoping for a Dolly Parton cameo, because who doesn’t love a country legend?

We’re chatting about our favorite seasons (fall, anyone? 🍂), reminiscing about high school days, and laughing over Jell-O molds (sorry, Patti, no coconut for you!). Plus, we’re dropping hints about National Coffee Day on Monday, with three new flavors—chocolate orange, chocolate cherry, and raspberry—hitting the shelves. VIPs, you can snag ‘em now, so don’t sleep on it! And don’t miss our plans for holiday coffees and advent calendars dropping October 15th—perfect for getting into the festive spirit.

So, whether you’re here for the coffee, the puppy cuddles, or just to laugh along with our ridiculous banter, we’re so happy you’re part of our Coffee Beanery crew. Check out the full video for all the deets, and don’t forget to grab your Groovy 70s subscription box at coffeebeanery.com (pro tip: skip Amazon for those sweet loyalty points!). Drop a comment with your favorite coffee flavor or your go-to Halloween costume idea—we’re dying to hear! Let’s keep the good vibes brewing! ✌️ #CoffeeBeanery #Groovy70s #PuppyLove

Now, let’s talk cosmic chaos! Britain filled Patti in on last week’s zodiac bombshell: the Earth’s wobble shifts our view of the stars by a degree every 72 years, meaning your zodiac sign might not be what you think! 😲 Britain thought she was a stubborn, loyal Taurus (April 25th—bullheaded, check!), but she might be on the cusp of something else. Patti’s always been a charming, indecisive Libra, but now she’s maybe a worrywart Virgo? Logan’s still a solid Virgo, and Bret’s Gemini might actually be Taurus. It’s wild to think the Babylonians set this up 2500 years ago, and now there’s even a sneaky 13th constellation, Ophiuchus, they ignored! Britain’s 14-year-old son (who knows everything) wasn’t impressed, but we’re curious: do you vibe with your zodiac traits, or is this all hocus pocus? Tell us your sign and thoughts below! 🌌

Of course, it’s not Sip and Share without coffee talk! Our fall sale is in full swing, and we’re loving the cozy combos you’re ordering—like maple syrup, cinnamon spice, and caramel apple. So autumnal! 🍂 The caramel apple coffee is like biting into a crisp orchard treat, and the pumpkin spice muffin is subtle, not too sweet—perfect for fall. We’re also hyped for National Coffee Day on September 29th, when we’re dropping THREE new permanent flavors: regular raspberry, chocolate cherry, and chocolate orange! 🍒🍊 Yep, they all have a fruit vibe, and we’re obsessed. Plus, our holiday flavors launch October 15th, including Merry Mocha Mint, Cinnamon Holly Blend, and—drumroll—eggnog! 🎄 Oh, and the Dubai chocolate flavor? It’s been a BEAST to perfect. We’ve brewed hundreds of pots to balance the pistachio and chocolate without it turning into a creamy Lindt truffle takeover. It’s close, though—fingers crossed! Jennifer, we see your fig suggestion, and let’s just say something’s brewing soon. 😉

We got sidetracked (classic us) laughing about fuzzy fruit phobias (peach, apricot—yuck, Patti says!), Gen Alpha slang like “skibidi” (brain rot, anyone?), and Britain’s plant obsession (spending on dirt, not diamonds!). We also geeked out over upcoming movies like Downton Abbey for book club and those wild public domain horror flicks—Winnie the Pooh as a slasher? Bambi going rogue? 😱 Plus, we’re hustling with holiday gift sets (6,000 for Amazon alone!) and dodging Windows 11 IT nightmares. Shoutout to Charles for retiring at 72—live that pajama life! And Mo, we loved your Video Killed the Radio Star performance and that Santa’s Night Cap drink pic. Keep sending those!

So, pour a cup of fall goodness, dodge the orange Oompa Loompa screen glow (our TV’s wilding), and tell us: Are you Team Zodiac, Team Coffee, or Team Puppies? (We’re all three!) Hit up our VIP page to share your coffee setup for a chance to win, and snag our fall sale (20-25% off, we’re too busy to check!). Thanks for sipping and sharing with us—here’s to cozy vibes and new flavors! ☕🐶🍂

Love, Britain and Patti #CoffeeBeanery #FallFlavors #ZodiacWobble #PuppyAntics

First off, let’s talk about Daisy and Duke, our Shih Tzu superstars! These little furballs are the chillest lap dogs you’ll ever meet, with eyelashes so long they’re basically ready for their close-up in a mascara ad. We’re talking Snuffleupagus-level lashes, people! 😍 At just a few months old, they’re stealing hearts (and maybe a few coffee beans) with their fluffy black-and-brown vibes. Patti’s obsessed with how they’re supposed to change colors—Duke might go gray, and Daisy’s rocking that chubby gerbil look. They were total angels during our chat, curled up like tiny donuts, but we’re bracing for their toddler phase to bring some chaos. Any puppy parents got tips for keeping these cuties out of trouble? Drop ‘em in the comments! 🐶

Of course, we can’t Sip and Share without coffee talk! A sweet customer note reminded us how a bad creamer can ruin a good cup (preach!), sparking a chat about creamers. Bret and Logan are all about that black coffee life now—grown-up vibes only—but Patti’s recently hopped on the creamer train to amp up those flavor notes. Speaking of flavors, our fall lineup is LIVE and giving all the cozy feels! The caramel apple coffee is like biting into a crisp, orchard-fresh treat—amazing hot, iced, or as a café caramel. The pumpkin spice muffin coffee is subtle, not too sweet, and perfect for fall. 🍎🎃 We’re also deep in R&D for some new flavors, and one’s been a total nightmare to perfect (no spoilers yet!). Holiday flavors drop October 15th, with Merry Mocha Mint, Cinnamon Holly Blend, and—drumroll—eggnog! It’s gonna taste like Christmas in a cup. 🎄 Deborah, we hear you loud and clear on that toasted marshmallow dream, but our shelves are packed—maybe we’ll sneak it in soon!

We also got sidetracked (classic us) chatting about powdered creamer nightmares from diner days, Bret’s lactose-intolerant coffee journey, and Logan’s life water (aka black coffee). Plus, we’re pumped for National Coffee Day on September 29th and our holiday gift sets—6,000 headed to Amazon alone! We’re hustling with holiday help to get those boxes packed, and we loved hearing Patti sent coffee pods to her mom for her birthday. Hope she loves ‘em! ☕ Oh, and shoutout to the local middle school’s fundraiser with our coffee—supporting Voices for Children in Flint. Win-win!

So, pour yourself a cup of our fall flavors, snuggle with your own furry friends, and tell us: Are you Team Zodiac, Team Coffee, or Team Puppies? (We’re all three!)

Love, Patti, Bret, and Logan #CoffeeBeanery #FallFlavors #ZodiacShakeUp #PuppyLove

Speaking of coffee, our fall flavors are LIVE, y’all! 🍂 The caramel apple is giving crisp orchard vibes—perfect hot, iced, or as a café caramel (though Britain’s still side-eyeing that $8 small from one of our stores… we’re investigating, promise!). Then there’s the pumpkin spice muffin coffee, subtle and cozy, not overly sweet, just the way we like it. Laurie’s not even a cinnamon fan, but she’s obsessed with this one (and her pumpkin spice laundry detergent, because why not?). We’ve got three pumpkin spice lattes and two caramel apple drinks in our stores right now, so whether you’re Team Pumpkin or Team Caramel Apple, we’ve got you covered. Oh, and holiday coffee fans, mark your calendars for October! We’re dropping Merry Mocha Mint, Cinnamon Holly Blend, and—drumroll—our new eggnog flavor! It’s gonna taste like Christmas in a cup, and we can’t wait for you to try it. 🎄

Back home, the puppies (Daisy and her chubby 4.7-lb self!) were so excited to see us, and Laurie’s kiddo Estelle melted our hearts with her gymnastics hug moment. We even squeezed in some golf simulator time with the kids (Jurassic Park course, anyone?) and tackled a crazy Labor Day sale rush—shoutout to Patti for holding it down while we were gone! We’re still packing orders like caffeinated superheroes, so if you snagged something from the sale, it’s coming your way soon. 📦

We also got sidetracked (as usual) talking about boozy caramel apples from a past book club (Tito’s-soaked apple slices, anyone?), Swedish fish vodka in Atlanta, and why ghost tours are the WORST when you’re tipsy and alone in a hotel room. Britain and Patti almost crashed each other’s rooms that night! 😱 Plus, we’re loving our new Coffee Beanery t-shirts and sweatshirts—now in 3XL and super comfy for all our curvy gals. If you want one, hit us up for sizes and measurements!

So, pour yourself a cup of our caramel apple or pumpkin spice, and let us know in the comments: Are you Team Golf, Team Coffee, or Team Puppies? (We’re all three!) Don’t forget to check out our VIP page for a chance to win by sharing your coffee setup, and stay tuned for more fall fun. Thanks for sipping and sharing with us—here’s to cozy vibes and crushing it on the course! 🐶☕🏌️‍♀️

Love, Britain, Laurie, and Patti

This week, we’re sipping on our Roaring 20s coffee subscription box, and let us tell you, these flavors are serving Gatsby-level glam! From the sultry Butter Rum Cake (hello, childhood Lifesaver vibes!) to the decadent Chocolate Opera Cake, sassy Golden Vanilla Macarons, and flirty Strawberry Ladyfinger, these non-alcoholic treats are basically dessert without the calories. 🍰✨ We’re dishing on why you NEED to grab the full-size box for just $25 shipped—trust us, it’s a steal for these Prohibition-era-inspired goodies!

Between sips, we’re venting about the back-to-school grind—Patti's got a freshman (a 5’10” “baby” taking AP classes!), and juggling a college junior who just yeeted off to his apartment with a sneaky cat, and Laurie’s dreaming of a nap to escape the puppy madness. 😅 We’re also geeking out over The Gilded Age (because who doesn’t love drama, dresses, and old-money vs. new-money tea?) and planning a Hawaii wedding trip that’s giving us jet-lag jitters already. 🌺✈️

Oh, and don’t miss our fall merch drop! We’re obsessed with our cozy “I Like Coffee, Murder Shows, and Maybe Like 3 People” T-shirts and sweatshirts, plus the “Stress, Blessed, and Pumpkin Spice Obsessed” vibes. 🎃👕 Perfect for sipping through spooky season! And yes, our 25% off birthday sale is still live through Sunday, so snag those deals before we switch to Labor Day mode.

We’re also chatting about picking our next charity (we’re picky because we want your donations to actually help people, not just fund fancy CEO cars 🚗). Plus, we’re reminiscing about butter rum Lifesavers (are they discontinued? Send help!) and dreaming of a bake-off to match these coffee flavors. 🍰 So grab your mug, join our tired-mom club, and let’s sip through the chaos together! #CoffeeBeanery #SipAndCheer #Roaring20s #BackToSchool

P.S. Shoutout to our fans Charles, Mo, and Annalise for joining the live chat! Love you all! 💖 Drop a comment if you’re team nap or team caffeine, and tell us your fave Roaring 20s flavor! 😜

We’re still buzzing from our 49th birthday month, doubling NINE orders a day (yep, we’re generous like that!) and folding a gazillion t-shirts and sweatshirts—check out that cozy skull sweatshirt on the VIP page! 😎 Our photo shoot yesterday had us wiped (Lori was ready to puke from exhaustion!), but we’re hyped for next week’s big birthday wrap-up where we might just drop a new coffee flavor. 👀 Any guesses? We’re sipping on this month’s coffee flavor, and it’s a banger—Amordo fans, Patty’s with ya on those cherry-almond vibes!

Plus, we’re dishing on Sedona’s new dance classes (planks on wobbly boards? No thanks!), our epic Red Rock concert adventure (380 steps? Send help!), and Taylor Swift’s treadmill-singing hustle. 🙌 Oh, and don’t miss our $15 mystery mug deal (freebies included!) and one final birthday sale next week. Grab your coffee, join the fun, and tell us in the comments: got any puppy tips for us? Or your fave coffee flavor? Let’s sip, laugh, and dodge puppy cuddles together! ☕

This week, we’re diving into some epic coffee trivia that’s got us stumped, stoked, and straight-up laughing. From Java’s coding roots to Starbucks’ oily Olato (olive oil, who knew?!), we’re testing our coffee knowledge and getting schooled by our VIP page crew—shoutout to Mo, Patty, and Deborah for crushing it! ☕💪 Think you can beat Bret’s tiramisu flex or Will’s White Russian win? Jump in and play along!

We’re also celebrating our birthday month with $15 mystery mugs stuffed with goodies (well, not literally, but you get freebies!). 🎁 Plus, we’re teasing some killer new coffee flavors dropping early September—trust us, you’re gonna love ‘em! 😎 Oh, and we’ve got firewall drama fixed (phew!), so we’re back and better than ever.

Join us for the chaos, coffee talk, and William’s antics—seriously, this pup’s got us all on our toes! 🐾 Drop your trivia answers in the comments, tell us your fave coffee drink, or just vibe with us as we sip, laugh, and dodge William’s toy attacks. Don’t miss our big surprise next week—it’s one of our fave things ever! 🙌 Thanks for hanging with us, and here’s to a brew-tiful week! ☕✨

#CoffeeBeanery #SipAndShare #CoffeeTrivia #WilliamTheWild #BirthdayMugs #NewFlavorsSoon

First up, we’re sipping on Wimbledon Strawberries and Cream—think juicy, sun-kissed berries dancing with smooth, sweet cream. It’s like biting into those classic Wimbledon treats or, as Patti says, popping a strawberries and cream Lifesaver candy! 🍓 This decaf delight (yep, we went decaf to keep Laurie from bouncing off the walls) is pure summer nostalgia in a cup. Next, we’ve got Banana Banoffee Pie, a dreamy mix of sweet bananas, rich toffee, buttery crust, and a cloud of whipped cream. It’s giving Bananas Foster vibes from that iconic Brennan’s breakfast Laurie can’t stop raving about (table-side flambé, anyone?). 🍌 This one’s a fan fave—people go bonkers for our banana flavors, and we get why!

Then, there’s the Chelsea Currant Bun, a total curveball that’s fragrant, fruity, and unlike anything we’ve done before. It’s like if a blackberry and a date had a baby, with a grapey, sticky-sweet vibe that’s so unique, we’re still debating how to say “currant” (current? karant? help!). Fun fact: currants were banned in the U.S. for years—talk about a rebel flavor! 🍇 Finally, we’re rolling with the Chocolate Roulade, a light, fudgy chocolate cake wrapped around whipped cream. It’s subtle, cakey, and oh-so-decadent, with vanilla sneaking in like a cheeky guest at a tea party. 🍫 Pro tip: mix the strawberry, banana, and chocolate for a banana split explosion that had us screaming, “Why didn’t we think of this sooner?!”

Our "London's Calling" box is only $25 (shipping included for 2.5 oz or 12 pods), with upgrades for the coffee fiends who want those big 12 oz bags or extra pods. VIPs got first dibs on the 15th, and full-size flavors dropped on the 22nd—so grab ‘em before they’re gone faster than a London cab in rush hour! 🚖 We also got sidetracked (classic us) chatting about pet tattoos (Laurie’s planning a tiny paw print for her pup), texture quirks (Patti’s anti-avocado stance is fierce), and a random Scotland encounter with a subscriber’s mom—small world, right? Plus, we’re hyped about our holiday shirt pre-orders (through July 31st) with gems like “I love coffee, murder shows, and maybe three people.” Britain’s getting it in every style, because duh, it’s iconic! 😎

Join us for the laughs, the coffee, and the chaos—oh, and don’t miss next week’s Scottish treat tasting! 🏴 Any guesses on your fave flavor? Drop a comment, and let’s chat! (P.S. Sorry for the wonky camera—technology is not our BFF today.) #CoffeeBeanery #LondonsCalling #SipAndShare

Sipping the Fudge Shop Box: A Flavor Explosion

We’re head over heels for our latest subscription box, inspired by the fudge-filled streets of Mackinac Island. This month’s lineup is a decadent quartet of coffee flavors that’ll make your taste buds do a happy dance: Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge, Butter Pecan Fudge, Pistachio Fudge, and Chocolate Cherry Fudge. We each picked a fave—Britain’s all about that creamy peanut butter goodness, Laurie’s obsessed with the nutty pistachio, and Patti’s living for the buttery pecan vibes. Trust us, these coffees are like fudge without the sugar crash, perfect for your morning brew or an afternoon pick-me-up.

Our subscription box is the gift that keeps on giving! Every month, you get four surprise flavors in your choice of 2.5 oz ground, single-serve pods, or 12 oz ground or whole bean, with decaf or regular options. Full-size flavors hit our website on the 22nd of every month.

Laurie’s Scotland Adventure and Packing Drama

Laurie’s got big plans—she’s jetting off to Scotland with her husband for their 35th anniversary! From Edinburgh to Inverness, the Isle of Skye, and beyond, she’s ready to explore (and maybe try some haggis—yikes!). But let’s talk packing—she’s not a carry-on-only gal, despite some travel group advice to pack just three pairs of pants for 16 days. Nope, Laurie’s bringing cute outfits for those Insta-worthy moments! Got any Scotland travel tips? Drop them in the comments; she’s all ears!

Crafty Vibes and Heartfelt Gifts

We got a little sentimental this week, gushing over handmade gifts that make us swoon. Britain’s showing off the cutest crocheted giraffe, a gift from her son Branson’s girlfriend, Hannah. It’s so adorable we’re calling it an emotional support giraffe! Patti’s reminiscing about homemade blankets she made with her mom and friends, and Laurie’s mom whipped up some cozy shawls for her Scotland trip. There’s just something about handmade quilts, shawls, and crocheted treasures that hits different—anyone else obsessed with crafts? Tell us about your favorite handmade goodies!

Dreaming Up New Coffee Flavors

We’re already brainstorming for next year’s subscription boxes (yep, 2026 and 2027 are in the works!). Cherry’s a fan favorite—our Black Cherry, Michigan Cherry, and Cherry Vanilla are top sellers—so we’re thinking cherry almond, cherry apricot, or even a homemade cola-inspired coffee. We saw a video on making cola with coconut sugar, citrus peels, and spices, and now we’re dying to try it! Got a flavor idea? Drop it in the comments; we love your suggestions and they might inspire a whole box!

In this episode, we’re dishing on Father’s Day plans—think BBQs and golf dreams that might get sidelined by a Scotland trip. 🏌️‍♂️ We’re also spilling the beans (but not too many) on some epic new coffee flavors coming your way! Picture a fall LTO with a brown-and-green vibe that’s super trendy (pistachio, anyone? 👀), plus a winter LTO that’s been begged for forever—think holiday vibes with a frosty twist. ❄️ Oh, and three fruity permanent flavors dropping in August—juicy, sassy, and a little scandalous (berry, citrus, and something dark and tempting, perhaps?). 🍒🍋 Taglines like “Squeeze the Day” and “Sip Something Scandalous” are your clues—guess away in the comments!

We’re also hyped about our marketing meeting reveals: new seasonal shirts, mugs, and a sleek “Essentials” line with black jackets and polos. 🧥 Plus, our loyalty program’s got you covered—hit those order milestones for tattoos, stickers, and our famous socks (Jennifer, we’re getting you those socks, promise!). 🧦 We even brainstormed a Ghostbusters-inspired TikTok idea—Flavor Busters, anyone? 👻

Between Sir William’s pterodactyl-phase chaos (he’s 7 months and a total dinosaur), rock-collecting tangents (working rocks vs. boulder debates!), and random movie rants (Final Destination log trucks? Lilo & Stitch live-action? 😱), this episode is a caffeinated whirlwind. We’re also shouting out our VIP group—join for the latest scoop and let us know if we missed the mark (or your socks)!

So grab your favorite Coffee Beanery brew, dodge Willie’s cup-stealing paws, and dive into this flavor-packed chaos. Tell us your flavor guesses, Father’s Day plans, or if you’ve spotted our cups in movies like Final Destination! 🎥 Drop a comment, join the VIP group, and let’s keep the coffee love brewing. See you next Sip and Share—unless Willie eats the camera first! 😜 #CoffeeBeanery #SipAndShare #FlavorBusters

We brewed up six mystery coffees—two blends, four single-origins—and tried to guess what’s what. Spoiler alert: Logan’s a coffee savant, Bret’s blaming his allergies, and Patti (yep, that’s me!) might’ve peeked at a cup or two. 🙈 From the fruity Hawaiian Kona to the smooth-as-butter Jamaican Blue Mountain, we sip, sniff, and squabble our way through Breakfast Blend, Sumatra, Guatemalan, and more. Did we nail the guesses? Or did the coffee gods humble us? You’ll have to watch to find out!

Along the way, we’re spilling the beans (get it?) on coffee secrets: why Sumatra’s taste changes crop-to-crop, how Logan roasts magic into every bean, and why Bret’s obsessed with brewing ratios (1:17, anyone?). Plus, we’re dishing on our upcoming 50th anniversary plans—think Jamaican Blue Mountain farm adventures, no ropes required! 🌴 Oh, and we might have let slip some juicy details about our next Coffee of the Month box… fudge, anyone? 🍫

Grab your favorite mug, join our coffee chaos, and see if you can guess the brews better than we did! We’re talking flavor, fun, and a whole lotta love for coffee. Drop a comment with your fave unflavored coffee or your best guess at our mystery cups. And don’t forget to like, subscribe, and join us next time for more Sip and Share madness! ☕✨

#CoffeeBeanery #BlindTasting #UnflavoredCoffee #RightRoast #CoffeeLovers #SumatraVibes #JamaicanBlueMountain #HawaiianKona #CoffeeChaos

First off, let’s talk about our furry co-star, Willie. This not-quite-seven-month-old pup is supposed to weigh 44 pounds but is tipping the scales at a whopping 74—and he’s still growing! 😱 He thinks he’s a lap dog, climbing all over Laurie and leaving us all a bit disheveled (but we love him for it). From sneaking under desks to bark at hallway passersby to treating paper like his personal chew toy, Willie’s chaotic energy keeps us on our toes. Is he destined to be the next Clifford the Big Red Dog? You tell us! 🐾

Now, onto the coffee—because what’s Sip and Share without some bean-spiration? We’re diving into the world of cold brew with a $9.99 Aldi find that’s got us obsessed! 🌟 Britain’s brother, Logan, snagged this sleek cold brew system, and we’re brewing up our Costa Rican Gladiola for a smooth, low-acidity concentrate that’s chef’s kiss perfection. We steeped it for 18 hours (pro tip: 16-18 is the sweet spot!), and trust us, it’s a game-changer. Laurie’s mixing it with water, Patti’s sipping it straight, and Britain’s dreaming of ice cube cold brew hacks for summer. 😎 We even learned a lesson the hard way—pour the water through the grounds, not over them, to avoid dry spots. Oops, user error! 😅 Want to try it? You don’t need a fancy system; a mason jar and filter will do the trick!

But wait, there’s more! We’re dishing on our favorite comfort shows—think Gilmore Girls (Britain and Laurie are obsessed with their Rory and Lorelai mugs), Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice, and even some old-school Days of Our Lives drama (possessed Marlena, anyone?). 🧙‍♀️ We’re reminiscing about rewatching classics like Desperate Housewives and Sex and the City, and laughing about how bad some old-school filming was (microphones dropping into shots, yikes!). What’s your go-to comfort show? Drop it in the comments! 📺

Oh, and let’s not forget Memorial Day weekend vibes! We’re sending love to our military families and those who’ve sacrificed for our freedom—thank you. ❤️ Laurie’s sharing her birthday weekend memories (no gravesite visits, phew!), and we’re gushing over adorable small-town parades in Dexter and Holly. Plus, Britain’s got a wild chainsaw story involving a dead tree, a stuck chainsaw, and a near-miss with her husband Jason that had the kids cheering he survived! 🌳😬 Spoiler: the tree’s still hanging by a tow strap, and we’re calling in the pros.

From navigating I-75 traffic nightmares (thanks, Michigan road chaos!) to sipping mint chocolate coffee and protein shakes, this episode is a rollercoaster of fun, caffeine, and furry shenanigans. We’re also planning to test flavored cold brews next week—think Amaretto or Blueberry Cobbler. Got a flavor we should try? Let us know! 🙌

Grab your coffee, join the chaos, and let’s Sip and Share! Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more Wednesday madness. And if you see a cold brew system at Aldi, Walmart, or anywhere else, snag it—it’s a dorm-room must-have or a fun grad gift! 🎓☕ Tell us: What’s the wildest thing your pet’s done lately? And are you team hot coffee or team cold brew? 🐶❄️ See you next week, Sippers! 💖

#CoffeeBeanery #SipAndShare #ColdBrew #WillieTheLapDog #CoffeeLovers #GilmoreGirls #MemorialDay #MichiganChaos

We’re tasting four fan-favorite flavors that sold out faster than concert tickets to a Sabrina Carpenter show (Laurie’s ready for Lollapalooza, y’all!). First up, Ruby Red Raspberry from our Wizard of Oz box—think Dorothy’s ruby slippers in coffee form, with a juicy, grandma-candy vibe that’s pure nostalgia. Then we’ve got Mint Chocolate Shake, straight outta the St. Paddy’s box, tasting like Andes Mints you’d sneak from your car’s cupholder (don’t judge!). Next, Georgia Peach from our Americana box brings the sweet, sun-kissed peach ring goodness—perfect for sipping while dreaming of summer. And finally, Pink Velvet Cupcake, with its creamy frosting and cocoa notes, had us split: Laurie and Patti are obsessed, but Branson? He’s giving it side-eye. 😆

This episode is a rollercoaster of laughs and tangents—Branson got dragged in by force (sorry, buddy, no choice!), Laurie’s pretending to be Patti’s evil twin, and Patti’s just trying to keep us on track. We spill the beans (pun intended) on our five years of Coffee of the Month boxes, from the OG ice cream truck box to the sold-out-like-hotcakes Kentucky Derby flavors. Plus, we’re hyped to announce a mystery box dropping soon with 10 samplers, including Pink and Steamboat Willie flavors, plus two secret ones we’re keeping hush-hush. 🤫 Grab ‘em quick, VIPs, or you’ll be left crying into your decaf!

We also get real about coffee life—did you know 85% of you add cream or sugar to your brew? No shade, we’re flavoring for you! We’re throwing out ideas for a “Grandma’s Candy Dish” box (think butter mints and those mysterious strawberry candies every grandma had), and Patti’s already planning a Scottish haggis-inspired coffee (kidding… or are we?). From tornado scares in Michigan to Laurie’s juice cleanse horror story (black pepper shots, anyone?), we’re serving up stories as bold as our brews.

Oh, and coffee’s good for you! Antioxidants, less dementia risk, and pure joy in every sip—don’t let the caffeine haters fool ya. Whether you’re a black coffee purist like Branson or a foo-foo drink fan like Laurie, this box has something for everyone. These flavors hit the shelves tomorrow, so don’t sleep on ‘em—they’ll vanish faster than our willpower at a tulip festival food truck. 🌷

Grab your mug, hit that subscribe button, and join us for the tastiest 30 minutes on the internet. Tell us in the comments: What’s your fave flavor, and what box theme should we do next? (Grandma’s Candy Dish? Mexican desserts? Spill your ideas!) Let’s keep the coffee party going, and maybe next time we’ll convince Branson to show up willingly. 😎 Thanks for sipping with us—see ya next time! #CoffeeBeanery #SipAndShare #CoffeeLovers

But, let’s be real—this episode is a hot mess in the best way. Picture this: roofers hammering away right above our heads (think 10 guys sounding like 100), Willie stealing coffee bags and making a glorious mess, and us trying to keep it together while spilling the tea (or coffee?) on life. We’re talking Mother’s Day mayhem—Patti’s epic basement flood saga (RIP that pipe, hello PVC!), Laurie’s mulch-moving marathon (girl, your back deserves a medal), and Britain’s quest to uncover the history of a super cool 1800s Detroit clock that’s giving major Antiques Roadshow vibes. Spoiler: we emailed the Detroit Historical Society, and we’re still waiting for the tea on that one.

Oh, and did we mention Willie’s obsession with our Coffee Beanery cups? This pup’s got chaos energy for days, and we’re here for it. From pool-filling disasters (orange water, anyone?) to rants about IKEA furniture (sorry, college dorm desk, you’re dumpster-bound), we’re serving up laughs, relatable mishaps, and some serious coffee love. Plus, we get real about health—shoutout to mole checks, mammograms, and dragging our husbands to the doctor (we’re looking at you, Jason!).

We also sprinkle in some nostalgia (who else has a butter churner heirloom?) and geek out over local Detroit gems like Gardner White and Shinola. And don’t sleep on our subscription boxes—Vicki’s back there crafting the Best of the Best box with last year’s top four flavors. Father’s Day is coming, and coffee’s the gift that keeps on giving (sorry, ties, you’re out).

So, grab your favorite mug, ignore the roofing noise (we tried), and join us for 28 minutes of coffee talk, dog shenanigans, and pure, unfiltered fun. Let us know in the comments if the roofers were too loud, which sampler you’re eyeing, or if you’ve got an Antiques Roadshow-worthy treasure at home. And hey, if you’re as pale as us (sunscreen is life), share your best sunburn horror story—we feel you! Hit that subscribe button, check out our samplers at coffeebeanery.com, and let’s keep the coffee convos brewing. Happy sipping, y’all! 😜 #CoffeeBeanery #SipAndShare #WillieForPresident

Laurie’s freaking out over a contact lens horror story (amoebas in the shower, yikes!), while Patti’s organizing her closet like a Stitch Fix pro—color-coded and all. Britain’s just trying to keep Willie from unplugging our setup while we sip on Caramel Popcorn coffee and plan Mother’s Day brunches. We’re also geeking out over AI, from Grok making our scatterbrained chats sound epic to calling out biased answers. Oh, and did we mention we wrote a gazillion Mother’s Day cards for your coffee gift basket orders? You’re welcome! 🎁

We’re laughing about Shein fashion finds, decoding WWII romance letters for Grandma, and debating if aggressive birds deserve a spot on our grievance list (spoiler: they do). Plus, we’re spilling tea on Alexa’s eavesdropping and why we’re Team Google now. From poolside Mother’s Day plans to Laurie’s legally blind shower struggles (-5.5 prescription, anyone?), this episode’s got it all. And yes, we’re still obsessed with those glow-in-the-dark Carved phone cases—real wood, real cool! ✨

Join us for 50 minutes of pure chaos, coffee, and community. Shoutout to our viewers like Jennifer, Deborah, and Charles for chiming in! We’re sending big Mother’s Day hugs to everyone, especially those missing their moms. 💕 Tell us in the comments: What’s your weirdest coffee shop story or Mother’s Day gift fail? And should we get Willie his own Coffee Beanery cup? 🐶 Grab a mug, hit subscribe, and let’s sip and share next week! #CoffeeBeanery #SipAndShare #WillieTheMascot

Join us as we dive into some R&D for next year’s coffee flavors, sipping and spilling (hopefully not literally) with Sir William as our over-enthusiastic assistant. We’re tasting three bold flavors, and let’s just say they range from “ooh, yum!” to “um, what?!” First up, a Peach Brandy that hits like peach rings with a boozy, flambéed dessert vibe—perfect for sipping by a virtual campfire. Then, we get adventurous with Jalapeño coffee (yep, you read that right), which brings a spicy, almost chocolatey kick without the heat. It’s weird, it’s wild, and it’s… kinda growing on us? Finally, we go tropical with Mango, a super fruity explosion that’s almost too intense—until we mix it with jalapeño for a mango salsa-inspired twist that’s surprisingly delish! 🍑🌶️🥭

Between Sir William’s tail-chasing, hand-nibbling, and paper-shredding antics, we’re dishing on why he’s the goodest boy (and our office serotonin boost). At just 5 months, this “work dog” (technically Logan’s, but we all claim him) greets us like a one-pup welcoming committee every morning. We’re obsessed with his retriever quirks—like needing something in his mouth at all times (RIP our pillows). Plus, we’re spilling the tea on past flavor flops (looking at you, rose and pickle coffee 🤢) and dreaming up a mystery flavor box for you brave coffee adventurers out there. Any guesses what we should try next? 👀

Oh, and don’t miss the coffee talk! We’re buzzing about our Mother’s Day Sale (kicking off tomorrow, May 1st, with 25% off through May 6th—perfect for gifting Mom something caffeinated and cute). We also get sidetracked by our love for plants (Britain’s $4 Costco philodendron score vs. a $150 nursery rip-off!), our food dislikes (slimy mushrooms and tahin, anyone?), and the great cilantro debate (soap or yum?). Patti’s throwing shade at mango and coconut, while Britain’s plotting to sneak mushroom coffee into the office. 😈

This session is pure chaos and heartwarming vibes, with Sir William reminding us why having an office pup is the ultimate morale boost. From his stick-destroying, mulch-munching adventures to his couch takeovers, he’s got us laughing non-stop. We’re also reflecting on how our customers inspire us—like a Swedish subscriber who’s got us hyped about Scandinavian candy flavors—and how our 90-year-old coffee fan swears our brews keep her kicking (antioxidants for the win!).

So, grab your favorite mug, maybe a dog treat for your own furry friend, and join us for this unfiltered, pup-powered Sip and Share. Will Sir William snag a coffee cup? Will Patti survive the mango? Will Britain ever trust laser eye surgery after that wild story? Hit play to find out, and let us know in the comments: what’s the weirdest coffee flavor YOU’D try? (Violet coffee, anyone? 🌸) Don’t forget to swing by our site for the Mother’s Day Sale and check out our Kentucky Derby box before it’s gone—those banana pudding and bourbon pecan torte K-Cups are flying! 🏇

Love, Britain, Patti, and Sir William (Laurie’s back next time, promise!) Coffee Beanery Sip and Share Crew #CoffeeBeanery #SipAndShare #SirWilliam #CoffeeTasting #GoldenRetrieverChaos

In this live tasting sesh, we’re unboxing the magic of our monthly subscription ($25 for four 2.5oz bags or $60 for full-size with free shipping—y’all, it’s a steal!). We’ll dish on each flavor: the nutty, caramel-rich Bourbon Pecan Torte, the buttery heaven of Kentucky Buttercake, and more. Laurie’s obsessed with Derby Pie (she’s been chugging it all morning!), Britain’s vibing with the Banana Pudding vibes despite her pudding texture drama, and Patti’s probably got the scoop on why these flavors scream Derby (she’s our research queen, even if she’s fashionably late today!).

But hold your horses—this ain’t just about coffee! We’re chatting about everything from creepy gas station vans (yikes!) to our kids’ Easter Bunny detective skills. Ever tried a Blackberry Dr. Pepper float? We have, and it’s a game-changer! 🍦🥤 We’re also shouting out our awesome community—hey, Charles, thanks for the love!—and fixing our new mic so we don’t sound like we’re broadcasting from Atlantis. 🪣🌊

Expect plenty of laughs, a few tangents (dentist visits, anyone?), and our signature chaos as we navigate technical gremlins and coffee-induced jitters. We’re so stoked about Ashley’s adorable Derby graphics and can’t wait to share why this box is a must-have for coffee fans. Plus, we’re already hyped for next month’s anniversary flavors—any guesses what’s brewing? 👀

Grab a mug, hit that subscribe button, and join the fun! Want to sip along? Check out our subscription at [insert website link] and snag full-size bags of these Derby delights. Tell us in the comments: which flavor’s calling your name? Derby Pie, Banana Pudding, Bourbon Pecan Tort, or Kentucky Buttercake? Let’s get this coffee party started! 🎉 #CoffeeClub #KentuckyDerby #TasteTheMagic

Today’s chat is a wild mix—think downed trees, power outages, and linemen working 72-hour shifts to save the day (shoutout to Brett’s bro!). We’re spilling tea (or coffee?) about the Mackinac Bridge shutting down—yep, that 5-mile beast is terrifying even on a good day. Ever driven over those grates and peeked at the water below? Nope, hard pass! Britain’s got morbid Lake Superior facts (bodies preserved down there—yikes!), and we’re swapping stories about kayakers, shipwrecks, and… Mountain Dew conspiracy theories? Yep, Purple Thunder’s out—brace for tornadoes, folks! 🌪️

On the coffee front, bad news: prices are up. Brazil’s drought, crazy demand from China, and tariffs have us at 50-year highs—our futures ran out, and we held off as long as we could. Subscription boxes jump to $25 after April 16th (prepaids, you’re locked in!), but we’re still cheaper than the big dogs like Bones Coffee. We hate it, but quality’s non-negotiable—no yucky beans here! Everything’s roasted and packed in Flushing, Michigan, with as much American-made stuff as we can swing. Thanks for sticking with us, Deborah and Charles—you’re the real MVPs!

Now, for the fun stuff: Pet Day Sale kicks off tomorrow! Post pics of your fur (or non-fur) babies on our VIP page for a shot at a year’s coffee subscription—last year’s winner posed her pups with our bags, and we’re obsessed! No snakes, please (Britain’s begging!), but send us your dogs, turtles, sugar gliders—whatever! Bill, we’re eyeing those border collies! Oh, and our Kentucky Derby-themed Coffee of the Month box is dropping soon—think fun flavors and fancy vibes. It’s our 5th anniversary of the box AND VIP page—can you believe it started with us three in a warehouse?

We’re also giggling about our cringe-y first lives (all squished on a tiny couch—hips don’t lie!), and Britain’s wrestling with Willie the slobbery pup while Patti’s dodging his dirt-eating antics. Plus, we’re chatting fire blankets, life-saving choking gadgets, and dangerous jobs—linemen, welders, tower climbers—y’all are wild! No adrenaline needed here; coffee’s enough!

So, grab a mug (Charles, your Apple Turnover’s on the way!), join the pet contest, and let’s ride out this wild weather together. What’s your fave coffee for a snowy day? Any 50th anniversary ideas for next year? Hit us up! #CoffeeBeanery #SipAndShare #PetDayCoffee

(P.S. Britain’s claustrophobic, Patti’s Googling morbid lake stuff, and we’re both manifesting spring—send help!)

And speaking of chickens, ours are a hot mess! Laurie’s flock is full-on diva mode—some won’t lay, others might be snacking on their own eggs (cannibal vibes, anyone?). We’ve tried golf balls in the nesting boxes, but no dice. The Isa Browns we got from a tractor supply place lasted a couple years before their hearts gave out—apparently, they’re egg-laying machines with a fatal flaw. Then the hatchery batch? Total divas, zero eggs. Grammy and Papa are hooking us up with some solid layers in the spring, so fingers crossed they’ll whip the rest into shape. Anyone else have chickens with attitude? Tell us your secrets!

Laurie’s still glowing from her St. Thomas trip last week—those white-white beaches and the clearest, bluest water were straight out of a postcard. Absolute paradise! She even took a boat ride near Epstein Island (Little St. James, technically)—so eerie, even if they’re supposedly turning it into a resort now. No evil vibes, just a weird chill down the spine. Britain’s like, “Did you bring me a souvenir?” and Laurie’s like, “Uh, just some rooster trauma!” Speaking of which, she faced her chicken fears surrounded by wild ones on the beach—one even parked under her chair! Only two people have ever died from roosters (true story!), so she’s feeling brave now.

Oh, and gardening? We’re flops. Britain’s tried a million times but can’t tell weeds from plants—total chaos! Laurie’s issue? Watering’s too much work, and why grow tomatoes if you don’t eat ’em? We’d be toast in colonial times, spending 80% of our day growing food and mending socks. Meanwhile, our plants are probably screaming for Patti, who’s a green-thumb goddess. She’s got our office jungle thriving at the Plant Hospital—Britain’s succulents didn’t make it (root rot, oops!), but Patti’s googly-eye plant magnets are the cutest. Ever seen a TikTok with googly eyes on grocery store stuff? Hilarious—we’re tempted to prank our roaster, if only the eyes wouldn’t melt!

Egg prices are bonkers too—$12 in Michigan thanks to cage-free laws and bird flu culling. Hatcheries are holding back chicks, telling folks to hit up TSC instead. What’s up with that? And then there’s William, Logan’s 14-week-old golden retriever, stealing hearts and climbing all over us mid-stream—he’s a 30-pound bundle of love! Britain’s off to Estelle’s Valentine’s party later (matching sweaters, duh!), after hitting Dallas’s 100-day party last week. School parties hit different now—five parents max, and you’re stuck at a station. Back in the day, Laurie was the PTO queen juggling five kids’ events—rollerblade shoes, anyone?

Next week, we’re tasting the Little Women box—so sorry if your surprise got spoiled online! Some folks got it the day after shipping and posted early—ugh, timing! We’ll figure it out for next time. Flavors are out there if you snoop on social media, but we’re keeping our lips zipped ’til the tasting. Oh, and a teaser: next month’s box is public domain fresh—think big, iconic vibes (no, we won’t say it!). Grab your coffee, K-Cups (less coffee, more savings!), and join us for the madness. Love ya, fam! 💕☕🐶🌿

We start with a wild puppy day where Laurie's puppy, Sir Willie, steals the show by shedding all over and showing us just how much he's grown (like 9 pounds in two weeks, can you believe it?). We discuss the adventures of having littermates, sharing stories about Birdie and Bogey, and the hilarious antics of our four-legged friends.

But wait, there's more! Our office day turns into a comedy of errors with microphone issues and gnomes hiding everywhere. We try to talk about new coffee flavors for the year, but let's just say, it's a challenge when you have a mischievous puppy around. From cherry vanilla to chocolate peanut butter, we're debating which flavors make the cut.

And, of course, we couldn't leave you without some personal stories - from baking mishaps (like forgetting the oil in the cake!) to the latest on shipping woes with USPS. Plus, we had a blast talking about the Grammys, movie memories, and even a little debate about iPhone vs. Android.

So, grab your favorite coffee, sit back, and enjoy the laughs, the love for coffee, and the pure, unfiltered fun that only Britain, Laurie, and Patti can bring. Don't forget, our Valentine's Day coffee box sale is on with the code 'SWEET' for 20% off until February 6th!

Watch, like, and subscribe for more chaotic fun, and let us know in the comments which coffee flavor you can't live without. Cheers to coffee and chaos!

We kick off by discussing the importance of grind size - from fine like sand for espresso to coarse like rocks for French press. We share our personal coffee adventures, like Britain's dishwasher freezing over and Patti's cold floor saga, and even throw in some laughs about our YouTube subscriber count and the trials of getting those watch hours up.

Ever wondered about the difference between a blade and a burr grinder? We've got you covered! We explore how a burr grinder can elevate your coffee game with its consistent grind, while also sharing the pitfalls of using a blade grinder, which is like chopping veggies - uneven and unpredictable.

We also chat about coffee storage (spoiler: no freezer!), the beauty of brewing fresh ground coffee, and the science behind hot and cold drinks in various cultures. Plus, with Valentine's Day around the corner, we tease some cute coffee gifts and share our plans - or lack thereof - for the holiday.

And don't forget, we've got a sale going on! So, if you're thinking about stocking up on your favorite beans or pods, now's the time.

Join us for a fun, informative, and slightly chaotic coffee chat. Make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel for more episodes where we sip, share, and maybe spill a little coffee. Let's make your coffee routine as enjoyable as ours!

We kick things off with some fun banter about our memories of working with kids, followed by Patti’s granddaughter’s impressive work ethic and negotiating skills. You’ll hear how she quickly turned a six-hour shift into a sweet payday. After some wholesome family stories, we move on to the exciting part: tasting the Honey Coffee! It’s truly a standout, with notes of farm-fresh honey that will make you feel like you’re sipping liquid gold. We love how this blend isn’t your average grocery store honey flavor—it’s more like that fancy honey from a farmers' market!

From there, we move on to the Pumpkin Roll Coffee. It’s exactly what you’d expect from a pumpkin dessert turned coffee: warm, sweet, and absolutely delightful! Britain admits her love for pumpkin rolls, while Laurie shares a nostalgic story about making a classic Bûche de Noël (Yule Log Cake) in high school French class. We even get into the challenges of baking and how our attempts at rolling cakes have led to some hilarious kitchen fails.

Our next flavor is Plum Coffee, a surprising blend with sweet and tart notes that have us reminiscing about finding the perfect plum at a farmer’s market. Britain and Laurie get into a discussion about plums, while Patti chimes in about her personal experiences with the fruit and shares some funny moments from her recent struggles with tasting due to a cold.

The final flavor we sample is Cider Donut Coffee. Laurie is particularly enthusiastic about this one, comparing it to the aroma of fresh cinnamon donuts straight from an orchard. We talk about fall field trips, with Britain recalling a chaotic yet fun trip with kids to an orchard that’s way too far away—complete with smoking near the corn maze! Patti and Laurie also share memories of geese encounters during their childhood and the bizarre tactics used to chase them away.

Beyond the coffee talk, we also discuss current happenings, like how Rite Aid closures are affecting our local community, the changes in pharmacy options, and the buzz around the new Costco opening nearby. Our conversations touch on everything from daily errands to the impact of big retailers, highlighting how much life has changed in our small town.

We wrap up by discussing upcoming plans, including potential baking challenges in December, where Laurie might try to defend her baking title! Plus, we give a sneak peek into what’s coming in next year’s coffee boxes—spoiler alert: they’re going to be amazing!

This episode is filled with not just coffee tasting, but also plenty of laughs, relatable stories, and a peek into our lives as we juggle work, family, and running a business.

We dive into the realities of hurricane preparation—everything from scrambling for last-minute supplies to making sure our families were safe in separate units. We experienced flooding, strong winds, and power outages, but thankfully, we were staying in a sturdy building that kept us secure. As Britain shares, we even had to use sandbags to prevent water from entering our unit! While the storm was intense, we stayed organized, prepared, and focused on safety. Patti kept her “mom instincts” sharp, gathering everyone into a safer hallway during the roughest hours. It wasn’t all serious, though—we managed to keep the kids entertained and even found some humor amidst the chaos.

Once we returned home, we found ourselves right back in the swing of things. We’re excited to announce that our holiday coffee blends—like Cinnamon Holiday Blend and Merry Mocha Mint—have already sold out! We’re working hard to restock, so if you haven’t gotten your order yet, hang tight. We’ve got more on the way!

Today’s chat isn’t all about hurricanes and coffee, though. We also delve into some lighter topics, like fun Halloween ideas and past costumes. Laurie, our resident costume planner, usually decides our group costumes, so we’re eagerly waiting to see what she has in store for us this year. We reminisce about past costumes, funny experiences, and the joys of Halloween-themed goodies, like Britain’s favorite Edgar Allan Poe-inspired accessories.

Speaking of spooky fun, we also explore some popular TV shows, like Agatha: Coven of Chaos and Vikings: Valhalla, and the creepy series Grotesquery. We share our thoughts on everything from horror films to lighter Halloween entertainment, including how Patti tried to scare us with Magic Mike ads (not scary, just disappointing). The conversation even drifts into serious topics like crime documentaries, with Patti admitting her love-hate relationship with true crime stories. Let’s just say, she’s always watching her back!

For our book club fans, we’re choosing our next read, and there’s a strong debate over Game of Thrones vs. classic favorites like Gone with the Wind. Laurie’s pushing for Scarlett, a sequel to Gone with the Wind, and there’s talk of doing a Southern-themed book club night. We wrap up with discussions about holiday gift shopping, favorite Etsy finds, and even Laurie’s surprise gift for Britain (which she somehow misplaced until now).

We’ve got a lot happening as we head into the busy holiday season—subscription boxes are shipping, holiday blends are brewing, and Advent calendars are almost ready. We’ve also got a bake-off coming up, so the competition is on, and Britain’s defending her crown!

Our adventure begins with a simple idea: let's use AI to create some unique coffee-themed visuals. What could go wrong, right? Well, as it turns out, quite a lot! From coffee that smells like caramel pecan pie to a shark inexplicably served on a plate, the AI had us in stitches with its unexpected and often unexplainable creations.

As the video progresses, the AI’s responses get even wilder. When we request sloth images, things go from cute to creepy real fast. We end up with sloths that look like they belong in a horror movie rather than a coffee ad. Some of these sloths are strangely deformed, while others have an unsettling gaze that’s hard to forget. Despite the creepiness, we couldn’t help but laugh at the AI’s attempts to create these bizarre images.

Then, things take an even more ridiculous turn when we ask for sharks. Initially, the AI gives us normal-looking coffee tables, but then it throws in a shark on a plate! We were left wondering what on earth the AI was thinking. This particular image had us in tears from laughing so hard. It’s not every day you see a shark casually placed on a dinner plate in the middle of a living room.

But the fun doesn’t stop there. We continue to push the AI’s limits by asking for more outlandish images. We get everything from flying sharks that look more like stingrays to dolphins in places they definitely shouldn’t be, like sand and bourbon glasses. The AI even attempts to create romantic coffee setups with cupids and champagne, but instead, we get glittery, oversized strawberries that look suspiciously like styrofoam.

As we explore further, we test the AI with beach and space themes, leading to even more comical results. From mermaid hands with missing knuckles to coffee floating through a cosmic void, each attempt by the AI adds to the growing collection of absurd and laughable images. We even end up with a hot air balloon scenario that makes us question everything we know about image generation.

Throughout this video, we discuss how AI is still learning and evolving, and these experiments highlight both its potential and its limitations. Whether it's giving us sloths that look like they’ve escaped from a nightmare or dolphins living in bourbon glasses, the AI never fails to surprise us.

We also talk about the practical uses of AI, like generating content and creating short videos for social media. While the technology is still far from perfect, it’s fascinating to see how it can assist in everyday tasks and even create content that’s SEO-friendly. However, as we’ve learned, it’s always important to double-check AI-generated content to avoid any bizarre mishaps!

So, grab a cup of coffee (preferably not with any sharks or sloths in it), sit back, and enjoy the ride as we explore the wacky world of AI. Don’t forget to let us know what you think in the comments, and if you’ve had any crazy experiences with AI, share them with us! We’d love to hear your stories and maybe even feature them in a future video.

We kick off with a fun chat about skincare and celebrity transformations, sharing our thoughts on beauty secrets and routines. Our conversation naturally shifts to Snoop Dogg and his unexpected role in the Olympics. We explore his charismatic presence and how he's made his mark beyond the music industry. From there, we delve into the world of entertainment, reminiscing about concerts and movies. We share a memorable experience at a Lizzie McAlpine concert, where the music was interrupted by an unexpected turn of events, leaving us with a story to tell.

As the conversation continues, we switch gears to our love for cinema. We discuss M. Night Shyamalan's latest film, exploring its twists and turns and debating whether the trailers gave away too much. Our movie talk wouldn't be complete without a nod to Ryan Reynolds and his latest adventure in the world of "Deadpool," featuring Britain's ugliest dog, Peggy the pug, in a hilarious cameo that left us in stitches.

We also take a moment to talk about the talented Hugh Jackman and his incredible physique, proving that age is just a number. As we admire the dedication and discipline of these stars, we can't help but draw parallels to our personal fitness goals and the determination it takes to reach them.

Our conversation takes a meaningful turn as we reflect on our recent trip to Costa Rica. We share our experiences visiting a coffee farm and the daycare center, where we were inspired to make a positive impact. The daycare provides essential services for the children of coffee pickers, offering a safe space for learning and growth. We discuss our plans to create an Amazon wish list to support these children with school supplies, toys, and other necessities. It's a cause close to our hearts, and we invite you to join us in making a difference.

Back home, we celebrate Coffee Beanery's birthday month with special promotions and offers. From our Yeti-style mug bundles to surprise giveaways, we're all about spreading joy and appreciation to our loyal customers. Joe Hot Cup, our beloved mascot, makes an appearance, reminding us of the fun and whimsy that coffee brings into our lives.

The video also touches on our passion for gymnastics and how our families are involved in the sport. We talk about the thrill of learning new skills and the joy of seeing our kids achieve their goals. It's a reminder of the importance of perseverance and the rewards of hard work.

Throughout the video, our furry friends make their presence known. From Ella's mischievous antics to Sheldon and Sky's playful nature, our pets bring an extra layer of joy and chaos to our lives. We share humorous stories of their adventures and the love they bring into our homes.

Join us for a delightful journey through these stories and more as we connect over shared experiences and aspirations. Whether it's discussing the latest trends, exploring new initiatives, or simply enjoying a good laugh, our video promises to entertain, inspire, and leave you with a smile.

The Coffee Beanery team also takes a trip down memory lane, reflecting on their journey with subscription boxes.

In addition to their flavored coffees, the team emphasizes their commitment to high-quality, non-flavored coffees. They highlight the meticulous roasting process and the competitive market of straight coffee, showcasing their dedication to delivering exceptional products.

Coffee of the Month Tasting

We kick off this episode with the much-anticipated unboxing of our All American Coffee of the Month Box. This special edition features four unique flavors: Apple Pie, Georgia Peach, Maple Bacon, and Pumpkin Spice Latte. Each blend has been meticulously crafted to capture the essence of these traditional American favorites.

1. Pumpkin Spice Latte:

First up is the Pumpkin Spice Latte. A warm blend of pumpkin and spices topped with sweet cream, this coffee embodies the cozy, comforting flavors of fall. Despite being a quintessential autumn flavor, we believe pumpkin spice can be enjoyed year-round. Laurie, Patti, and Britain share their thoughts on this blend, noting its balanced profile that isn’t overly pumpkiny, making it a hit even for those who typically shy away from pumpkin spice.

2. Apple Pie:

Next, we savor the Apple Pie coffee. Infused with the taste of juicy apples kissed with just the right amount of sugar and spice, this blend is a delightful tribute to one of America’s favorite desserts. Patti highlights how this coffee perfectly captures the essence of an apple pie, with the right blend of sweetness and spice, and without the mushy texture of actual pie filling. It’s a comforting and nostalgic flavor that pairs perfectly with a quiet morning or a cozy afternoon break.

3. Maple Bacon:

The third flavor on our tasting journey is the Maple Bacon coffee. This blend combines the savory taste of bacon with the rich sweetness of maple syrup, creating a unique and savory-sweet experience.

This coffee is perfect for those who love a touch of adventure in their morning brew, offering a delightful surprise with every sip.

It's a fascinating look at how the other half lives.

But it’s not just about luxury and extravagance. We delve into our true passion—coffee!

Blind Coffee Tasting: A Flavor Adventure

The heart of our session is a blind coffee tasting, where we sample several different blends without knowing their identities. This fun and challenging activity leads to fascinating discussions about the subtle notes in each coffee. From dark chocolate hints to nutty undertones, we explore the complexity and depth of each blend.

One of the highlights is our Chocolate Truffle flavor. We delve into our recent experiments with various chocolate flavors to achieve the perfect balance. The team debates the intensity of the chocolate notes, with some finding it mild and others detecting a rich, bitter dark chocolate taste.

Adding cream to coffee can significantly alter the flavor profile, and our team members share their preferences and insights on this topic. We discuss the differences between black coffee and coffee with cream, reflecting on how these choices impact the overall tasting experience.

Our hosts, Laurie, Britain and Will, kick off the conversation by sharing their experiences with camping solutions and the challenges they face in ensuring their audio quality for live videos. Laurie humorously recounts the mishap of a previous video where their guest's voice was barely audible, leading to a renewed emphasis on staying close to the microphone.

As the discussion progresses, Laurie shares exciting news about Patti's trip to Mackinac Island, a magical and beautiful destination in Michigan. For those unfamiliar with this hidden gem, Mackinac Island is accessible only by ferry, and no cars are allowed, preserving its old-world charm. The island is known for its picturesque landscapes, horse-drawn carriages, and the renowned Grand Hotel. Laurie fondly reminisces about her own visit to the island for her 30th wedding anniversary, highlighting the luxurious yet pricey experience at the Grand Hotel. She also shares amusing stories about her family's biking adventures around the island and a particularly memorable incident where her son, Branson, got lost but remained unfazed, a testament to his adventurous spirit.

The conversation takes an intriguing turn as the hosts delve into the topic of beanless coffee. Will introduces this unusual concept, explaining that it's not entirely beanless but a blend of coffee beans and various other ingredients, including seeds and pea protein. The hosts express their skepticism and curiosity about the health and environmental benefits claimed by the makers of beanless coffee. They embark on a taste test, providing candid feedback on the flavor, aroma, and overall experience. The consensus is that while the initial taste is not bad, the lingering aftertaste leaves much to be desired.

Adding to the fun, a surprise guest, Lauren, joins the conversation. Lauren, a former intern at Coffee Beanery, now works at Chick-fil-A with her dad. She brings a bag of goodies and shares her experiences, including the challenges of commuting and the unique culture of "going up north" in Michigan. The hosts and Lauren discuss the phenomenon of Michiganders traveling to their lake houses every weekend, a tradition that seems unique to the region. They also touch upon the beauty of Michigan during the spring through fall seasons and the communal experience of enjoying nature and water activities.

The discussion also explores the Fourth of July plans, with Lauren mentioning her work schedule and the company's decision to close on the holiday. The hosts reflect on the importance of taking breaks and enjoying festive occasions with family and friends. They also highlight the ongoing Fourth of July sale at Coffee Beanery, offering readers a chance to enjoy special discounts on their favorite coffee products.

As the conversation winds down, the hosts and Lauren share memories of their childhood jobs, quirky side gigs, and the fun they had growing up. Laurie's stories about her children’s inventive play and Houston’s fear of being "too cute" for strangers add a nostalgic and humorous touch to the dialogue. The camaraderie and warmth among the participants shine through, creating a relatable and heartwarming narrative.

Whether you're intrigued by the concept of beanless coffee, planning a trip to Mackinac Island, or simply enjoying the anecdotes of a fun-loving family, this post offers something for everyone. So, grab a cup of your favorite coffee, sit back, and enjoy the journey through these delightful stories and insights.

Picture this: as we unpack the box, you're greeted with an array of flavors that transport you to a nostalgic summer day. First up, there's King Cone, a delightful blend that captures the essence of creamy vanilla and chocolate swirls, reminiscent of your favorite childhood treat.

Next, indulge in the Neapolitan, a trio of flavors—strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla—that harmonize beautifully, creating a symphony of taste that lingers on your palate. It's like enjoying three desserts in one sip!

But wait, there's more excitement with Rainbow Chip. This flavor bursts with colorful sprinkles of joy, blending rich chocolate notes with hints of caramel and a touch of whimsy that's perfect for brightening any day.

And for those who crave a refreshing twist, Bomp Pop brings the essence of a summer popsicle right to your cup. Imagine the tangy sweetness of citrus fruits dancing with the coolness of a summer breeze—it's a sip of pure sunshine.

Now, onto something special—our honored guests, Mike and Victoria. They've been with us through thick and thin, bringing their unique charm and passion for coffee to our community. Mike, with his infectious laughter and knack for storytelling, always finds a way to brighten our days. Victoria, our resident coffee connoisseur, guides us through the nuances of each blend with grace and expertise.

As we sip and savor these delectable flavors, let's raise our mugs to Mike and Victoria, and to the joy of sharing moments, stories, and of course, great coffee together. We're so grateful to have you all here with us, celebrating the flavors of summer and the warmth of friendship.

Away from the greens, we dived into personal stories. From family dynamics to shopping for school uniforms, we covered it all. Our banter ranged from discussing our favorite coffee blends to the joys of golf leagues and even touched on our varying athletic abilities—or lack thereof. Despite our differences, we laughed about attempts at team sports and celebrated the prowess of our more sports-inclined family members.

Our conversation took a more serious turn as we discussed recent news about public figures like Justin Timberlake and Amy Winehouse, reflecting on the challenges of fame and the impact of substance abuse. Amidst these reflections, we found solace in lighter moments, planning for upcoming coffee promotions and eagerly anticipating video projects on the horizon.

Wrapping up, we reaffirmed our bond as a team at Coffee Beanery. We made plans for future tasting sessions to determine if we're dominant or recessive super tasters and excitedly noted the ongoing freebie sale. With a sense of camaraderie, we bid each other farewell, looking forward to our next gathering over endless cups of coffee and more lively conversations.

Our subscription box is a hit! The bananas foster flavor sold out fast, and the frosted carrot cake and strawberry crunch are flying off the shelves too. June's theme is a collaboration, and we're excited for you to see the pre-recorded tasting video.

In personal news, we shared some stories about our families, from dealing with storms to setting up a pool and navigating school activities. Our family business is close-knit, with three generations involved. My grandma and grandpa, the founders, are semi-retired but still very much part of the company. It's a joy to work alongside my siblings and see our small family company thrive.

We reminisced about our early days at the store and how much we've grown. It's heartwarming to hear from former baristas who loved their time with us and see the community connections we've built over the years. From high school jobs to marriages that started at our counters, Coffee Beanery has been part of so many lives.

Finally, we chatted about our influencer marketing strategy, explaining to Grandpa the shift from traditional ads to social media influencers. It’s a modern twist that helps us showcase our products authentically.

We're excited to share our experiences with Strawberry Crunch Bar, Bananas Foster, Chocolate Hazelnut, and Frosted Carrot Cake. Grab your favorite mug and join us as we explore these unique flavors!

First up, let's talk about the Strawberry Crunch Bar. Remember those ice cream bars with the crunchy coating you loved as a kid? This coffee captures that perfectly! The moment you take a sip, you're hit with the sweet, fruity notes of ripe strawberries, followed by a delightful crunchiness that’s almost too good to be true. It's like summer in a cup, perfect for a sunny morning on the porch or an afternoon pick-me-up.

This one is perfect for those mornings when you need a little extra comfort or as an after-dinner treat.

Our third flavor, Chocolate Hazelnut, is a match made in coffee heaven. If you're a fan of Nutella, this coffee will be your new best friend. The rich, velvety chocolate blends seamlessly with the nutty undertones of hazelnut, creating a luxurious drinking experience. It’s smooth, indulgent, and feels like a warm hug in a cup. Perfect for cozy evenings or when you want to spoil yourself a bit.

Finally, we have the Frosted Carrot Cake. This one’s for the adventurous coffee drinkers who appreciate a good twist. It has all the flavors of a classic carrot cake – the spices, the sweetness, and that creamy frosting – but in coffee form. Each sip is like biting into a moist slice of carrot cake with creamy frosting, making it an excellent choice for those special occasions or when you’re feeling a bit fancy.

During the live session, we blind-tasted several new flavors. Melissa, our trusted colleague, brewed the coffee and cleverly placed the names underneath a card on the table, making each sip a guessing game. We shared laughs, tackled some shipping mishaps, and enjoyed the camaraderie. Despite a brief interruption when Kevin accidentally might have knocked a wire during the livestream, the fun didn't stop.

Our discussion ranged from new product launches, including coffee pods and bulk offerings, to the daily challenges and delights of running a busy coffee brand. We introduced new 96 and 192 count packages due to popular demand and hinted at exciting new flavors launching next month.

We also reflected on personal stories, like dealing with returning college students and their laundry habits, or the endearing tale of local wildlife engaging with the family pets. The session was filled with personal anecdotes, laughter, and of course, plenty of coffee.

Customer interaction was a highlight. We responded to comments live, discussed shipping updates, and shared our experiences with new and classic flavors. As Mother’s Day approached, we discussed plans and the joy of sending handwritten cards to customers who ordered gifts for their loved ones.

Our live sessions are not just about tasting coffee; they're a chance to connect with our community, share behind-the-scenes glimpses of our brand, and just have a good time together. Each cup of coffee brings a story, and today was no exception. Join us next time to see what we're brewing up at Coffee Beanery!

Starting with blooming, we explain the critical process of saturating coffee grounds to release CO2, ensuring each cup captures its fullest flavor. Pouring techniques are key to a perfect brew, and Logan demonstrates the differences between inside-out and outside-in methods, emphasizing how they affect the final taste and extraction. We also touch on grind size and timing, showing how varying these elements can unlock different flavors and aromas.

The Hario V60 is celebrated for its versatility and ability to highlight coffee's natural acidity and brightness. On the other hand, the Kalita Wave’s unique flat-bottom design creates a slower extraction, resulting in a richer, earthier cup. It's fascinating how even the smallest design differences can profoundly influence the coffee’s taste.

Beyond the technicalities of brewing, we celebrate the ritualistic aspect of coffee preparation, longing to witness the Ethiopian coffee ceremonies where each sip is steeped in tradition. We cherish the artistry that comes with manual brewing and the personal touch it adds to each cup.

In the spirit of sharing, we're offering new flavors and samples in every order for May Day! With Mother's Day around the corner, our gift sets are sure to make mom smile, and our fast shipping means they'll arrive just in time.

During the livestream, we also conducted a tasting session featuring our special Wizard of Oz-themed coffee subscription box. This box, like all our monthly offerings, is curated around a unique theme and includes a variety of flavors. We sipped on Ruby Red Raspberry, which is purely infused with the delightful essence of fresh raspberries, and the whimsical Emerald City Pistachio, a nutty blend with a hint of chocolate. Our taste test included Lollipop Guild, an enchanting marshmallow-flavored coffee, and Yellow Brick Road, a tangy lemon cream blend that reminded us of lemon drop candies.

In our discussion, we highlighted how we craft our flavored coffees without added sugars or alcohol, focusing on natural flavors that offer a dessert-like experience with minimal calories. We explored the idea of mixing different coffee flavors from the subscription box, marveling at the delicious combinations like lemon raspberry and marshmallow pistachio.

Beyond coffee, we delved into personal stories, sharing anecdotes from our lives that connect us more deeply with our audience. From family military service to the quirks of growing up before the internet era, our chat was peppered with laughs and reflective moments.

This blend of coffee talk and quirky stories really lights up our day and connects us even more with the wonderful community we’ve built.

Additionally, we touched on some of the lighter moments in our lives, like dressing up as characters from the Wizard of Oz for Halloween, and how these personal anecdotes add a touch of sweetness and humor to our daily grind. We wrapped up our chat by discussing upcoming weather challenges and travel plans, reflecting on how these everyday elements intertwine with our coffee-fueled adventures.

With eager anticipation, we recount our first encounter with the siphon, marveling at its elegance and the promise of a superior brew.

Amidst our shared appreciation for the siphon's craftsmanship, we exchange tips and insights, each contribution enriching our collective understanding.

Street Hearts Animal Rescue, based in Flint, Michigan, has been a beacon of hope for abandoned and neglected animals. This organization stands as a testament to the unbreakable bond between humans and their furry companions, emphasizing the importance of responsible pet ownership and animal welfare.

One of the key takeaways from our conversation was the significance of fostering dogs. Street Hearts Animal Rescue highlighted how fostering plays a pivotal role in not only finding the right forever home for each dog but also in rehabilitating and preparing them for their new lives. Fostering provides a loving and supportive environment where dogs can flourish and regain trust in humans.

The conversation then turned to the financial aspects of animal rescue. Street Hearts Animal Rescue shared that the cost of caring for a rescued dog can be substantial. Basic expenses, including vaccinations, microchipping, and grooming, start at around $210 per dog. However, this cost can rise significantly if the dog requires medical attention due to pre-existing conditions or emergencies. These financial challenges underscore the importance of support from the community and animal lovers who are willing to contribute to the cause.

Street Hearts Animal Rescue also emphasized the value of adopting pets from shelters and rescue organizations.

Moreover, the organization underscored the significance of early spaying and neutering of pets. This not only helps control the population of unwanted animals but also contributes to the overall health and well-being of pets. The conversation brought to light that dogs and cats can get pregnant at a surprisingly young age, leading to unintended litters and increasing the burden on already overcrowded shelters.

Our discussion extended to feral cats and community cats, highlighting the challenges faced by these often-overlooked animals. Street Hearts Animal Rescue explained the concept of Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs, which help control feral cat populations humanely and effectively. TNR programs prevent the proliferation of feral cats while providing for their well-being.

As the conversation drew to a close, we had the privilege of presenting Street Hearts Animal Rescue with a generous donation of $4,300. This contribution will undoubtedly go a long way in assisting the organization's efforts to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome animals in need. The organization expressed heartfelt gratitude for this support, emphasizing the invaluable role of community members in their mission.

In conclusion, our candid conversation with Street Hearts Animal Rescue has shed light on the tireless dedication of individuals who work diligently to provide a second chance to animals in need. Their unwavering commitment to animal welfare, coupled with the support of compassionate individuals, showcases the incredible impact that can be made in the lives of animals.

The discussion kicks off with a deep dive into grind size's critical role in coffee preparation. The expert draws parallels between grind sizes and everyday items, comparing them to powdered sugar, regular table sugar, and bouncy balls. This comparison underscores the impact of grind size on water-coffee interaction, which, in turn, influences flavor extraction.

Scientific exploration enters the conversation as the expert introduces the concept of measuring total dissolved solids in coffee. This measurement helps determine the ideal grind size for achieving optimal flavor. By connecting grind size with brew time, the expert advises on adjusting your grind to ensure your coffee tastes its best.

The conversation then pivots to the importance of grinding coffee at home. The expert emphasizes that grinding just before brewing is essential for the freshest taste. They explain how oxygen can degrade coffee flavor and advocate for airtight containers to preserve ground coffee's quality.

Moving forward, the dialogue touches on the types of coffee grinders. While blade grinders are discussed, their limitations are acknowledged, including inconsistent results, heat generation, and static buildup. The expert strongly recommends investing in flat burr grinders or conical burr grinders for better consistency and minimal heat generation. Proper grinder maintenance is highlighted as crucial for optimal performance.

An intriguing glimpse into the industrial coffee grinding process follows. Large drums equipped with spiraled knife blades are revealed as the secret to consistency in commercial coffee production. The calibration of grinders using screens is mentioned as an essential step in ensuring grind quality.

A deeper understanding of coffee's complex flavor profile emerges, with the expert explaining how grind consistency directly impacts the balance and harmony of flavors. The conversation underscores that different grind sizes extract distinct flavors from coffee beans, underscoring the importance of matching grind size to coffee bean characteristics.

Water quality takes center stage as another crucial factor in brewing exceptional coffee. The expert acknowledges water's complex chemistry in coffee preparation and reveals that some coffee shops filter and add specific minerals to enhance flavor. For those uncertain about their water quality, the expert suggests experimenting with distilled water to find the ideal balance.

The conversation briefly explores coffee machines equipped with built-in grinders. While these machines offer convenience, the expert advises caution, noting potential compromises in grinder quality and repair difficulties. Instead, they recommend separate brewers and grinders for better control and longevity.

Throughout the discussion, Logan and the expert exude their passion for coffee, dedication to quality, and gratitude for customer support. Their insights into coffee grinding and brewing techniques offer valuable knowledge for coffee enthusiasts, equipping them with the tools to elevate their coffee experience.

It underscores the company's passion and commitment to delivering exceptional coffee, ensuring that every sip is a delightful experience.

Exploring Coffee Brewing Methods:

Logan and June's discussion centered around the French press method, known for producing a rich and full-bodied coffee. They emphasized the importance of using coarse ground coffee to prevent fine particles from affecting the taste. Freshly ground coffee beans were highlighted as essential for flavor and aroma enhancement.

Bloom Your Coffee for Richness:

A fascinating aspect of their conversation was the "bloom" phenomenon. Fresh coffee beans release carbon dioxide when hot water is poured over them, resulting in a bubbly reaction. Allowing this bloom to occur briefly before continuing the brewing process can lead to a smoother and more flavorful cup.

The Art of Measurement:

Precision is crucial in brewing coffee. Logan recommended using a kitchen scale for accurate coffee and water measurements. While a 1:18 coffee-to-water ratio was suggested, they stressed the importance of adjusting based on personal taste.

The Crucial Wait Times:

Timing is key in brewing coffee. After the initial pour of hot water, a two-minute bloom period is necessary for even extraction. Following the bloom, slow and even pouring of the remaining hot water is advised, with another two-minute steeping period.

The French Press Plunge:

The final step involves a slow and controlled plunge in the French press. Avoid squeezing the grounds, as it can lead to over-extraction and bitterness. Stop the plunge when the grounds reach the bottom for a well-balanced cup.

Pro Tips and Recommendations:

Logan offered additional tips:

• Store coffee beans in airtight containers for freshness.
• Experiment with different coffee varieties but avoid flavored coffee in a French press.
• Try various brewing methods for diverse flavor profiles.
• Repurpose used coffee grounds as fertilizer or for DIY body scrubs.

Conclusion: Elevate Your Coffee Game

In this enlightening conversation with coffee enthusiasts Logan and June, we've uncovered valuable insights into the art of brewing coffee. Whether you're a seasoned barista or a coffee novice, these expert tips will help you elevate your coffee game, savor the flavors, and indulge in the delightful world of coffee with newfound knowledge and confidence. Happy brewing!

Despite misconceptions, franchises are often community-driven ventures. Familiar brands like McDonald's and Taco Bell are typically run by local entrepreneurs, not distant corporate entities.

Franchising is a business relationship granting limited rights to use a company's name and systems in exchange for a fee. It's about local empowerment and community support.

It's also an opportunity for aspiring entrepreneurs to own a business with reduced risk. Building a successful franchise relies on trust and clear communication between franchisors and franchisees.

To be classified as a franchise, three elements must be present: limited rights, system rights, and a fee paid to the franchisor.

Franchising offers independence with guidance and reduces risk. It provides access to collective purchasing and fosters a unique network of franchisees who learn from each other.

At Coffee Beanery, our core values include a positive attitude, teamwork, outstanding customer service, and continual improvement. We value feedback to refine our products and services.

Franchisees have the freedom to make decisions while adhering to our brand standards and training.

Franchising is a partnership, empowering individuals to become successful entrepreneurs, fostering community connections, and continuously improving. Coffee Beanery is proud to be part of this dynamic world of franchising, and we look forward to sharing our journey with you.

Coffee Beanery has a profound appreciation for its customers, expressed through their unwavering dedication to meaningful causes. They've previously backed Street Hearts Animal Rescue and Safe Haven, moved by the tireless efforts of volunteers.

Rebecca's Reason's primary focus is alleviating the financial burden for families grappling with unexpected child loss. They've aided 250 families nationwide, preventing bankruptcy and asset loss during their darkest hours.

The discussion emphasized the significance of preserving cherished memories. Just as Laurie and Patti share their children's stories, Rebecca's Reason enables families to honor their children's legacies.

• Logan, the head roaster and manager of the production facility, started as a store employee and exemplifies the family's "wear many hats" ethos.
• Houston, who handles new business and assists with store operations, climbed the ranks from a store employee to managing two stores.
• Branson, responsible for distribution, ensures that Coffee Beanery's freshly roasted coffee reaches customers promptly.

• London, who works as a Chief Stew on a yacht in Florida, wasn't present during the conversation, but her adventurous career was proudly mentioned.

We also met the youngest members of the family:

• Sedona, a sixth-grader, helps with coffee-related tasks and earns her fair share.
• Ella, the youngest, made a brief appearance during the conversation.

The Shaw family engaged in a fun game of "most likely to," sharing amusing anecdotes and insights into their personalities:

• From Monopoly meltdowns to surviving a zombie apocalypse, their candid responses showcased their close bond.
• They playfully discussed language learning, gambling, movie preferences, and potential future inventions.
• They recognized their appreciation for their loyal customers and supporters, acknowledging the challenges faced by small businesses, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Coffee Beanery family clearly values their extended family of customers and considers them an essential part of their journey.
