Coffee Break!!!!


I have to be honest here, I am, luke warm when it comes to this new coffee company, Boca Java gourmet Coffee and Tea, that I discovered.
Perhaps my expectations were to high to begin with.........My first order seemed like it took about a week to arrive............That was very disappointing since the other coffee company I use, takes less than 24 hours from the time I make the phone call, till the time it arrives at my door and FRESHLY roasted. The second order took almost two weeks, just not acceptable.............I did receive their lastest newsletter and in it was an apology to their consumers for the delay of shipments due to the fact that they were moving into a new facility.
OK but I am just not sure I will order again...............

On the other hand, I admire some of the causes this coffee company is involved , with..........Mostly, Operation Million Cup- From, those at home.
This company is donating countless bags of coffee to our young Men and women who serve in our armed forces................"Kudos are well deserved here."
For every bag of coffee that a customer donates, Boca Java matches the donation and sends an equivalent bag. To date they claim more than 716,000 cups of coffee have been sent to troops.
"I think that is pretty impressive.........!"
I do enjoy their newsletter it comes with recipes and fun coffee facts
For example;
Espresso has less caffeine than the average cup of coffee and a serving of espresso is comprised of only 24 coffee beans.
Used coffee grounds can be sprinkled in your garden soil. It acts as a fertilizer and insect deterrent.
I did have to try one of their recipes (of course)
This is called "However you like it" Hazelnut
1 Cup cooled Boca Java Coffee, brewed strong (they recommend Palm Beach Passion)
1 Cup Chocolate Syrup
1 cup milk
1/4 cup Southern Hazlenut Mix ( available through their website)
Mix all ingredients together. Serve over ice or warm it in the microwave. They also recommend, this wonderful concoction can also be poured over a scoop of your favorite ice cream.
I really did like the Palm Beach Passion coffee, it was bold, but still mellow, there was no bitter after taste at all.
The Southern Hazelnut syrup, I won't buy again, I just did not like the consistency.
Put together, this coffee does make a nice presentation and it did make for a nice coffee break.............................

More whipped cream please! That's exactly how I love my coffee, lots and lots of whipped cream on top! It's great to know that the company is doing it's part to help out those serving in the military..I'll look into it and see if they can ship to me, too!
