BECK ON BEANS: Wolfgang Puck Breakfast in Bed Medium Roast

Wolfgang Puck Breakfast in Bed Medium Roast


Frankly, I was not too excited to write this review. This is an unremarkable cup.


Fragrance: 

Smells pretty much like diner coffee. If smells had some kind of smellcyclopedia, this cup would be under the heading "Basic Coffee." 


Flavor: 

Tastes pretty much like diner coffee. The only difference is that many diner coffees are too strong to take without milk and sugar. This one, I could drink black. The aftertaste is the best part- it coats your tongue with a nutty, roasty, chocolate cookie flavor that, while pleasant, isn’t anything to write home about. 


Recommended for: 

  1. That slam-and-go cup. Pop this one black into a Yeti and head to work.
  2. Morning cups. Medium roasts have higher caffeine than dark and not much will be lost on sleepy tastebuds. 


Not recommended for:

  1. Heavy additives. It’ll drown out what little flavor is there. 
  2. Dessert coffee. This will keep you jacked well into the night. I feel the caffeine coursing my veins. 


Would I buy again? 

Nope. You’re paying for the Wolfgang Puck name and it isn’t a great coffee for the money. 




EDIT: I owe Wolfgang Puck an apology. I called this "diner coffee" and truly believed that. Then, I tried Guy Fieri's American Diner blend.... That's Waffle House coffee. Like "load it with cream and sugar and make sure you have some Burt's Chili nearby to drown out the taste in order for it to be palatable" coffee. So, Pucky, you're a step ahead of Flavortown. I stand corrected.

  BeckEats: Arden’s Garden Cold Pressed Vegetable Juice, Green Energy Machine.     Welcome back to the #BeckThinks blog! Thank you for your patience on my short hiatus. I was busy helping move my family back to my hometown of Atlanta. We bought a home in the suburbs that we have deemed "The Treehouse" and we could not be happier.      In celebration of my family's eager return to The A, I'd like to highlight an Atlanta business that has been part of my consciousness for the majority of my life, Arden's Garden. But first, let's back up a step. As I may have previously mentioned, I have multiple food allergies and sensitivities that I’ve adjusted to over the last year. The short list includes gluten, dairy, nightshades (dried spices seem mildly reactive), stone fruits, and raw birch fruits (oral allergy syndrome). * sings* AND A PARTRIDGE IN A PEAAAAAR TREEEEEE! (Ironically, I’m not allergic to either of those things. Merry Christmas, me....

"In God's Country" by Beck Duffield

  In God’s country, poverty is a myth.  In God’s country, racism doesn’t exist. In God’s country, every neighborhood is your kind of neighborhood. In God’s country, you can pronounce everything on the menu and converse easily with the waitstaff.  In God’s country, everyone knows the lyrics of “The Devil Went Down to Georgia.” In God’s country, everyone stands for the same flag, sings the same songs, holds the same hats over the same hearts.  In God’s country, there’s always a cold beer waiting for you at the end of a long day. Or the beginning of one. Or both. In God’s country, Sundays are for church and football.  In God’s country, the only tattoos are military symbols and bible verses.  In God’s country, everyone is armed to the teeth.  In God’s country, your kids would never dream of deciding to be gay.  In God’s country, your son gets his ass kicked for wearing a dress to prom.  In God’s country, you’ll drop a $20 in the plate but call th...
