Remember when I mentioned here that if this teaching gig doesn't work out I'd love to own a coffee shop? Thanks to my in-laws I now have a mini coffee shop in my kitchen; A Tassimo! I'm the first to admit when these things first came out I thought they were a ridiculous waste of money but I've been converted. We only brew about 4 cups a week using the machine since we have a regular coffee maker and don't see a point in using the Tassimo for regular coffee. We use it for lattes, cappuccinos and specialty coffees. This weekend we headed to the GTA and hit up a great place called ECS Coffee Inc.. It is an online coffee store that has one showroom in Burlington, Ontario (that gives out free beverages! Any hot drink of your choice!). You should have seen the people there on Saturday. At least 100 people and every person walking out was carrying a box of goods. We dropped over $60.00 on coffee. Opps! They sell a ton of products including Starbucks coffee beans. We adore Starbucks Christmas Blend so we stalked up. One disappointment - - Cadbury Hot chocolate. Don't buy it! Instant hot chocolate tastes a million times better.
ECS Coffee Inc. offers free shipping on orders over $100. It has a huge selection of products including individual packets for $0.90 so you can sample before you buy (I should have done that with the hot chocolate!), and prices are a wee bit cheaper then regular retail stores. Check it out!
Cheers!

I've been to ECS and they are great. If you live in Toronto though, Home Coffee Solutions offers a very similar concept store -- free beverage of choice, customizable variety packs, great prices, excellent customer service, huge selection.
They have two locations 385 Front St W (Front/Spadina) and 82 Industry St (Trethewey/Eglinton).
