There’s Nothing Like Coffee…

There really is nothing quite as inspirational as the smell of fresh roasted coffee beans in the morning. If you ever worked in a coffee shop that roasted their beans fresh, you know what we mean. As we sell green coffee beans we sometimes roast ourselves, or take a deep breath when we open the bags of fresh roasted coffee beans we also sell. Then we have to use them all very quickly so they don’t go stale. It’s the perfect excuse to use the beans all that much faster…

As coffee really does inspire us beyond that first refreshing cuppa in the morning (we do work with it after all) we thought we’d share some funny “coffeology” we found lately. Or maybe not funny, more like…profound. If you believe in the power of coffee that is.

Coffeeology…

When you smell the smell of fresh roasted coffee beans you know you can’t go wrong…well not very wrong at least. Maybe you had a bad day and are looking for something to perk you up, or you’re just starting your day and looking for energy to get through it, but one thing is for sure: the smell of fresh roasted coffee beans can’t but help cheer you up.

For us java lovers that special cuppa is definitively a life saver. Always there to perk you up! For us that make a living out of coffee, what kind of fresh roasted coffee beans we use really makes a difference – we taste every cup like it was a glass of wine, noting the different nuances in taste. We also come up with silly jokes about coffee, research new coffee gadgets, fill our days with making sure our clients get the best coffee on the market and the best supplies to go with it. We listen to customers’ thoughts about coffee, our own thoughts about coffee, the suppliers thoughts about coffee… In other words: there’s a lot of coffee going through our minds (rather literally). So when we find jokes about coffee, or little sayings…we get excited. We laugh. And we realize maybe we think too much about coffee, but hopefully you will love the below photo as much as we did!

Enjoy the coffeeology – with a cup of freshly brewed coffee, naturally!

Coffee Jokes

When you suffer from coffee obsession, when getting that cup of Java just right is part of your daily routine and obsessing about new options for your coffee loving clients, then it so also happens that you start joking about it. As with any big part of your life it ends up…a joke. Sometimes such a geeky joke you can’t even share it with non-coffee addicts as they just won’t get it. So we decided to gather some mainstream coffee jokes that every coffee lover can enjoy!

 

When I went to Starbucks for coffee they lied. It wasn’t Starbucks, it was four bucks!

 

Customer: Waiter, is this supposed to be coffee or tea? Waiter: What does it taste like? Customer: It tastes like gasoline! Waiter: Well, sir, that would be the coffee. The tea tastes like turpentine.”

 

A blonde says to a brunette, ”Excuse me, but each time I sip my coffee, my eye seems to hurt.”

The brunette says, ”Well maybe you should take the spoon out of the cup.”
Spouse #1: Honey, this coffee tastes like dirt.

Spouse #2: That’s not surprising, dear, it was just ground this morning.
I met someone in the elevator who was drinking coffee and complaining about how coffee made him nervous. I said why don’t you quit drinking coffee. He said, “because if I didn’t have the shakes I wouldn’t get any exercise at all.”
“I want you to drink a cup of hot water every morning,” prescribed the doctor. “You gotta be kidding, doc,” I’ve been doing that for years, but my wife calls it coffee”.

 

So those were some of the jokes we found out there. Of course one could also argue that if it wasn’t for coffee there wouldn’t be any jokes at all. People would simply be too grumpy. Worse still – they wouldn’t even care to get out of bed in the morning.

 

I bought a decaffeinated coffee table, you can’t even see a difference.
