Caveman Coffee\u00a0is the smoothest coffee I have ever tasted.<\/h3>\n

No lie. No hyperbole. That was my first thought when I tasted the coffee. And every cup I have made since I have felt the same. Each and every coffee bean in the picture above was carefully accounted for to make sure not a single one was\u00a0wasted.<\/p>\n

According to Caveman Coffee's website<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Each bean is grown under the UTZ certification and Rainforest alliance protocols for sustainability and natural growing practices. No pesticides are ever used on the plants, and they are watered by nature alone. They are hand picked, only when ripe, and wet-processed for drying. This process produces the highest quality dried beans for roasting.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thank you, Caveman Coffee for sponsoring our Choctoberfest Giveaway <\/a>(ends on Friday night so get over there and enter already!)<\/p>\n

Let's talk\u00a0cupcakes<\/h3>\n

This recipe uses the Cake Mix in a Jar<\/a> I posted the other day but it is made with one very strong cup of coffee. You can get a printable version of the instructions here<\/a>\u00a0to attach to the jar.<\/p>\n

I actually boiled 1 \u00bc cups of coffee down to 1 cup to make it really strong. Then\u00a0I topped them with\u00a0a simple chocolate butter cream and sprinkles, because everyone loves sprinkles!<\/p>\n
