Alo Drink – Natural Aloe Drinks

by Fanny Posted on May 9, 2010

Last year, I discovered delicious yet nutritious Alo Drink at the Fancy Food Show. This all natural health drink now has new flavors from Asian fruits blended with aloe vera juice. And yes, you can drink aloe vera which is a clear liquid. Think “juice” not lotion.

Full disclosure: They sent me a case of Alo drinks to review. I won’t lie. I was quite “Elated” to receive a case of 12 Alo drinks, 3 of each flavor – Allure, Appeal, Enrich, and Elated.

Blue Bottle Coffee Drip Filters Coming Soon

by Fanny Posted on May 3, 2010

Breaking Food News: Oakland, CA – Blue Bottle Coffee will soon be selling their own branded porcelain coffee drip filters! They will be shipping anytime soon from Japan to the Blue Bottle Coffee roasting facility in Oakland.

I’m really excited and I hope you are too. I’ve been getting by with the Melitta plastic coffee filters. I will let you know when they’re in!

This is definitely one of the easiest and quickest way to make a good cup of coffee. I say this while I’m enjoying my cup of Blue Bottle Coffee made from Chapada Diamantina beans.The good people at Blue Bottle always give good recommendations on which beans to buy based on how you make your coffee.

How to Hand Drip Your Coffee

by Fanny Posted on March 17, 2010

Just went to the Blue Bottle Roasting facility in Oakland and bought a fresh bag of coffee beans, that was roasted the day before. I am in love with the fact that every time I buy Blue Bottle Coffee beans they are roasted either that day or the day before. Pretty amazing!

Being spoiled like that, you won’t go back to store bought beans from the supermarket bins. I had a bad experience with Allegro beans from the bin at Whole Foods. Two words – Continue reading →
