Eww gross. Trump K-Cup coffee exists.

At least it’s not soup.

It’s from “Trump Marks Fine Foods LLC” in case you’re wondering. And here are a whole bunch of other Trump marks in case you’re hungry.

Which of course, you will be if you rely on Meals on Wheels or after-school programs for your children.

“We can’t spend money on programs just because they sound good. And Meals on Wheels sounds great — again, that’s a state decision to fund that particular portion to. But to take the federal money and give it to the states and say, look, we want to give you money for programs that don’t work — I can’t defend that anymore.”

…and:

“They’re supposed to help kids who don’t get fed at home get fed so they do better in school. Guess what? There’s no demonstrable evidence they’re actually doing that. There’s no demonstrable evidence of actually helping results, helping kids do better in school.”

Congratulations! It’s Friday! Look at all that coffee you drank at work during the week! That’s The Caffeine Craver’s Colossal Coffee Cup! Now it’s time to relax! Hopefully during the weekend your head and large overworked hands will have a chance to deflate! TGIF!

Who needs a cup of coffee? The answer apparently, is owls. No wonder they stay up so late! Especially that double espresso caffeinated owl up there. He looks like he needs a biscotti to peck at.

Everybody needs to expand their horizons every now and then. Even the monsters amongst us. Perhaps especially the monsters amongst us… and considering how some of us feel before that first cup of the day, that might be a lot of us.

The ICUP Cookie Monster Big Face Ceramic Mug is sure to put a smile on coffee-needing faces. Especially since the Sesame Street Cookie Monster Om Nom Nom Nom Mug doesn’t seem to be available anymore.

Using a dripper to make a make a mighty fine cup of pour-over coffee is about as old-school as it gets. Using the Starbucks Premium Pour-Over Brewer to brew said cup, not so much. Sure it looks nice, but does it look $100+ nice? Maybe — eye of the beholder and all that. But the question still remains: how does anyone afford Starbucks coffee after purchasing it?

Product Description:
Bring beautiful, functional design into your home with this Premium Pour-Over Brewer, handmade by Darin Montgomery, founder of Seattle-based urbancase, a furniture and product design studio. Made from Corian solid surface material and domestic walnut, this elegant pour-over brewer reflects the aesthetics and functional design principles that contribute to living – simply – well. The single-serving ceramic pour-over cone regulates water flow to allow for the full extraction of coffee flavors. The cone sits on top of the handmade brewer stand while your favorite mug or tumbler fits underneath. With proper care and maintenance, this premium brewer should bring years of use. Ceramic cone is dishwasher safe. — Important Care Information: Do not immerse in water. Clean with a damp sponge. A mild detergent may be used. Corian is maintenance free but the walnut will require some care. Over time the oil/wax finish will need to be refreshed. Use a food-grade penetrating oil available at most kitchen stores. Avoid using vegetable oils.
