Eight OClock Coffee Archives - Jen is on a Journey

I’m sure you’re familiar with the concept of food pairings. There is a wealth of information on what types of foods pair well together, or which foods pair best with certain types of wine, but what about breakfast foods? Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and, for many, it isn’t complete without coffee. Eight O’Clock Coffee brings more than 150 years of expertise to the breakfast table, turning this morning meal into an experience to savor – here are some breakfast and coffee pairings.

Oatmeal is a classic way to start the day – simple, filling and hearty. Topped with some fresh fruit and almonds or walnuts and honey, its flavor goes from bland to grand. This mild-flavored breakfast food goes well with a lightly roasted coffee like Eight O’Clock Coffee’s French Vanilla or Hazelnut. Eight O’Clock Coffee Roaster Brewing Tip: Mix half a serving of Ground Hazelnut and Ground French Vanilla to deliver a Sweet and Nutty flavor.

Sweet breakfasts cooked on the griddle, like pancakes, waffles and French toast, are usually topped with syrups, jams or whipped cream. To offset all that sweetness, go with the bold flavor of an espresso or dark-roasted coffee. Eight O’Clock’s Dark Italian Roast hits the mark and is perfect for espresso aficionados. Eight O’Clock Coffee Roaster Brewing Tip: Add a dollop of Whipped Cream in place of Milk or Cream and savor the European experience.

The traditional American-style breakfast of Eggs, Bacon, Sausage, or a hearty Ham steak is a match for Eight O’Clock Coffee’s Original Roast. Whether you like your eggs fried, scrambled or sunny side up, this medium roast coffee is an ideal choice to balance the savory flavor of egg dishes. Eight O’Clock Coffee Roaster Brewing Tip: Set aside a ½ cup of coffee to create a toast mopping red eye gravy to garnish the Ham Steak. Full recipe provided (Foodnetwork.com).

I’m in love!!! Seriously, I found the BEST coffee that I’ve had, ever. Over the weekend our family was away and all I could think about in the mornings was that I missed my Eight O’Clock Coffee!! Truly, I missed the great taste of this coffee, that I have only just learned of. Where has it been all my life, considering it has been around since 1859?

Every morning, I look forward to that first cup of piping hot coffee. Often, I look forward to it before I go to bed. The aroma, the taste, the warmth. Eight O’Clock Coffee is incredible, and after learning the price ($5.99 for a 12oz. ground bag), it’s the ONLY coffee brand I’ll buy in the stores!

I’ve tried the Original blend, a delicious blend of premium 100% Arabica coffee beans at a medium roast. It a taste that I enjoy, it doesn’t overpower my breakfast, and it leaves me completely satisfied in my morning drink.

The 100% Columbian Blend is just as tasty, and has a sweet finish to it. This is a delicious afternoon pick-me-up!

Now, my favorite has to be the French Vanilla. I mean, this coffee is a dessert in itself in my opinion! You don’t need pie, pastry, or cake to indulge with this one (although it compliments desserts and liqueurs fabulously). The sweet taste needs no added sugar in your mug, and has you licking your lips afterwards like you’ve just eaten frosting off a cupcake!
