A friend sent me another Trader Joe’s gift box this weekend, yea for friends who live near Trader Joe’s! Inside the box was a can of Illy coffee. I love coffee. And I’ve wanted to try Illy since Elaine blogged about it in December.
So this afternoon I cleaned the kitchen, cleaned the coffee pot and reached for the can. I unscrewed the top and found a "pop top" thingy. As I was pulling the ring, I notice the word "stop" in red letters. But it was too late to stop …
Before I knew it, I was covered in coffee. So was the counter. So was the stove top. So were the dogs.
Upon closer inspection, the pop top suggests releasing the air SLOWLY from the can. It does not say why you should release the air slowly. I will tell you why. Coffee explosion, that’s why.
How does the Illy taste? Pretty darn awesome, actually. One of the best coffees I’ve had in quite some time. I could get used to this coffee. Except for the explosion part.
I’m picturing you all covered in coffee. I’m so glad I’m not the only one who does things like that.
