BECK ON BEANS: Dunk Your Donut Shop light roast from Maud’s Gourmet Coffee

-

As you can see in the photo, Maud’s Gourmet Coffee prints the phrase, “intelligent blends,” on its products. 

I couldn’t agree more in this case. 

I’ve had a lot of really crappy coffee named some variation of “donut shop blend.” As a matter of fact, I recently came to the conclusion that “donut shop” was code for “the blend we put all our over roasted crap into and play it off like a choice rather than a play to make money off undrinkable roasts.” 

Clearly, the donut shop was the only place I was getting donut shop coffee. 

So, when I saw this theme come up in my Maud’s variety pack, I rolled my eyes and gave a little “over the lips and past the gums…” before drinking. 

I was shocked. And SO pleasantly surprised. 

Fragrance: Ever been to one of those fancy chocolate shops that has an ice cream counter inside? Go order one of their fancy chocolate milkshakes and then take a big whiff. That’s this cup.

Flavor: This is where it gets wild. Upon first sip, you actually taste that toasty flavor of fine chocolate, almost like…. Donut frosting?  Each sip finishes out with that bitter, dreggy, incomparable 4AM Waffle House coffee flavor. It’s like a donut shop coffee flavored donut with chocolate frosting. Just like you’d taste while eating donuts and coffee in a donut shop. 

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

It is both the coffee and the donut. 

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

It’s like I just heard, “Luke, I am your father,” for the first time. 

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Recommended for: 
1. Nostalgia (but not in a corporate exploitation kind of way): This coffee is a story. It won’t demand your attention if you ignore it and just slam it down, but you will miss out in a big way.
2. Wakey-wakey eggs-and-bakey: This is a light roast with a high caffeine content. If you need a little pep in your step with a morning coffee moment, this is your brew. 

Not recommended for: 
1. Any time between noon and 4 AM:  Unless you’re in Waffle House and trying to get your drunk friend to eat a friggen grilled cheese sandwich so you can attempt to drive her home dump her into her bed for the night without having to sacrifice your purse to the vom. (Not speaking from experience. At all.) 
2. Heavy additives: I’m sure the blend could take it, but you’d miss out on the flavor story by drowning the chocolate notes. 
3. Anyone with anxiety. I might peel off all my nail polish. 😬😬😬😬⚡️⚡️⚡️

Would I buy again?
Definitely. It’s not a blend I’d want every day, but I’d bet it’d work a treat chasing off migraines or sleepiness. Delicious, clever, intelligent blend. 


YES! I did say that I have a Maud’s Gourmet Coffee variety pack, so you’ll see more coming soon! 


Peace and love, friends! 
✌🏻💕🌈🎶☕️

  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...
