A Most Eh?cellent Adventure
We're
visiting Timothy's World Coffee in Canada on our CoffeeWiz.com Family
Vacation
Well Summer is here and we're are
looking for fun ways to beat the heat, so Canada is our best choice.
We just love a country that uses
a coin called the Loonie and produces top quality talent such as
William Shatner, Leslie Nielsen and Martin Short to name a few.
Canada is the second largest country in the world by land mass and
touches three oceans, so there should be no shortage on sites to
see.
The bags are loaded in the station
wagon and we're ready to roll. To keep us busy along
the way, we can review a little Timothy's trivia. We
brought our camera hoping to see a few sales along the way...
Are
we there yet?
Timothy's started their first
coffee shop in 1975. Since then they have opened more than 130
stores across Canada making them the third largest specialty coffee
retailer. What helps set them apart is that Timothy's does their
own coffee bean buying and roasting
in their plant in Toronto. This allows
them to ensure big bold flavor in each
cup.
All this
trivia has got us thirsty, and since
Canada's all about the maple leaf, we decided to pour a cup of Timothy's
Sugar Bush Maple from our portable Keurig Brewer to enjoy
the big flavor of sweer maple syrup. Ah the aroma!
Quick out your window!! I think I
just saw a sale...
 All
Timothy's K-Cups Are On Sale This Month Only - $9.99 /box!
I Bet you didn't Know - Timothy's
was the official supplier of Canada's largest music awards show,
the Juno awards...Just the thought of Alanis Morrisette, Shania
Twain and Pamela Anderson enjoying a fresh hot cup of Timothy's
coffee made us pull over and to refill our water supply. We gotta
make more coffee...
We decided to pour some Timothy's
Noisette (French for Hazelnut). It's one of our personal
favorites and should help keep us awake at the wheel. A luscious combination of roasted hazelnut and French vanilla cream,
it is Timothy's
best-selling flavored coffee.
Come
on, what's NOT to love about a wagon?
French is the first
language of about 23% of Canadians with about 9% of the population
declaring French-only ancestry. Most government institutions and
many retailers reflect the equality of their two official languages,
French and English, by offering bilingual services, signage and
promotions. We speak a little French ourselves...Timothy's
French Vanilla Pods loosely translates: desirable hot beverage
with decadent flavor.
I just saw another sale!! Don't
miss it...
Timothy's
Pod Coffee is on Sale This Month Only - $6.25 /box!
Moose
for more coffee? I'll have some...
We just passed our exit,
lets pull off.
Speaking of getting
off the beaten path, did you know you can brew your favorite freshly
ground coffee in your Keurig machine? A bit unconventional, we know,
but it's a great way to enjoy a single cup of a ground variety that
has your allegiance.
We have a special going
on the Keurig
My Cup right now. Pick one up on CoffeeWiz.com and get
10% your entire order at CoffeeLibrary.com, our gourmet ground and
whole bean coffee superstore. The coupon code will be in your order
confirmation email. Check it out.
Another great brewing
alternative is trying the Tassimo Brewing System. The Tassimo
brewer scans a barcode on the top of the specially designed T-DISC
to ensure a correct brew each time. Capable of brewing many different
hot beverages including coffee, cappuccino, espresso, latte and
hot chocolate, it is a great way to enjoy a cup! Get your camera
ready, I feel another sale is close-by...
Tassimo
Twinings Earl Grey Tea Is On Sale - $5.25 a box!
We
stopped to ask this nice fellow for directions,
he didn't say
much - we had a feeling he was holding out on us.
Is that a
box of K-Cups he's holding? Can't trust a guy in red wool...
Speaking of Mounties...is
anyone tired of the mounting costs of buying a cup of gourmet coffee
at the local coffee shop? Consider single serve brewing. Gourmet
coffee in your home in under 60 seconds. That's something to get
excited about. No lines, no wait - Save on time, gas and money and
enjoy a delicious, fresh hot cup of Timothy's Pod Coffee or Tea
in your new Melitta Pod Brewer!
Wait...Yes! It is! Another
sale, they must have forgotten to spray for those this year.
All
Melitta Pod Brewers Are On Sale! Only $42.75. A Summer Blowout!
Every good vacation
road trip needs a tourist trap. We found
a great little bistro/coffee bar along
the way and you wouldn't believe what
they served! Timothy's on tap...we
must be close to our destination. We
were able to bribe the recipe for one
of their popular drinks from the server.. Pass it on!
