Barista Prima Party






I had my Barista Prima Party yesterday. We had such a great time tasting the various blends of Barista Prima coffee - Italian Roast, French Roast, Colombian and House blend. The coffee is a bit stronger ( a lot stronger)  than I normally drink.  Very strong, but delish.  


Compliments of Barista Prim





 All of the  coffee products were compliments of Barista Prima and House Party.  I decorated the table with white linens with  brown/pink compliments.




 I purchased Acqua  Panna water, biscotti (the batch I baked didn't look so hot - lol), shortbread cookies, rum cakes (from a friend and our recent Bahama trip), chicken salad and a fruit /cheese tray.






 I served as barista - complete with my white shirt, black slacks and Barista Prima apron. I had sample cups so that each guest was able to sample and make notes in their notebooks.








 Once the tasting was over, each guest was able to have a cup or two of the one they liked best. We had a great time chatting and enjoying the great coffee and food.





 Each guest left with the tasting pack from the party as well as a few K-cups. Two of the guests are now planning to buy one of the Keurig single serve pots.  Maybe they'll invite me over for a cup.........

A Coffee Party




I signed up to host a Barista Prima Coffeehouse Coffee Party via House Party. I hope I am selected to host one of the parties. I have a ton of ideas for my party if selected.

 



One of the questions they asked was "What is a favorite coffee memory?" I have several, but mostly enjoy drinking coffee at home in my office while writing for my blog. Do you have a favorite coffee story? I'd love to hear it!



Also, if you'd like to sign up to host a party, you can do so here. Good Luck!
