Some products land squarely on my radar for a JoshiesWorld review, and supporting small businesses is always one of them. One such brand is TruBiz Coffee Co., which kindly sent over one of its coffees for review. The product featured here is Kiss-Fist French Vanilla Coffee (Ground, 12 oz.). Before diving into taste, aroma, and overall experience, it’s worth sharing a bit about the company behind the coffee. TruBiz Coffee Co. is a Latina- and Deaf-owned, family-run small business founded by Phil and Bregitt. The brand focuses on specialty coffee produced in small batches and shipped fresh. Their lineup includes core blends, flavored coffees, and seasonal or holiday offerings, available in both whole bean and ground options. While TruBiz Coffee Co. is family-run, the coffee reviewed here was roasted and shipped by their California roasting and fulfillment partner, Temecula Coffee Roasters, based in Temecula, California. They specialize in roasting, packaging, and drop-shipping specialty-grade coffee for private-label brands. In this case, the coffee was roasted and shipped directly from their facility on behalf of TruBiz Coffee Co. Taste and Brewing Experience I brewed the Kiss-Fist French Vanilla using a standard drip coffee maker—one of the most common methods in everyday households. Coffee flavor is shaped by several factors, including roast level, bean quality, and added flavorings such as vanilla, which remains…
For many months, I have been using my iPhone as an alarm, relying on its vibration, or haptic feedback, to wake me up as a Deaf person. Not only did I have my phone to vibrate, but I also always had my phone’s sound on the highest setting possible. Using a phone as an alarm clock is acceptable. I am sure many people now rely on their phones for this purpose, rather than having a traditional alarm clock. However, these devices aren’t always effective for heavy sleepers. Speaking of heavy sleepers, I am one of them, combined with being Deaf, so there were the times that it failed to wake me up, and I always had the phone laid beside me on the bed, especially that the phone was either on my arm or my shoulder because as I said I am Deaf so to wake me up is feeling the vibration from my phone. Those times when it failed to wake me up were building my frustration up because I am not a fan of sleeping in for more than four hours. For many years, my bones have, for some reason, not been able to tolerate sleeping or lying down for too long. Ironically, it is said that as you get older, you want to sleep longer, but for…
Before I start doing a review on the product, which is the Fifine X3 Over-Ear Wireless Headphone, I would like to thank Fifine for reaching out to me about sending one of their products, which in this case is their Fifine X3 Over-Ear Wireless black headphone for me/JoshiesWorld to do a review on it for them. Before I decide to do a review on them, I make sure that they understand and agree that any products I have received from them or any other company would have an honest review on them without any influence from them. Yes, in other words, if I find anything wrong with their products, I will point them out, and if any of the products that a company sends over for a review aren’t good, then I will say so. They can do nothing about it, which means my principle when reviewing products is that they have to be honest reviews as they are. Fifine understood that and agreed that it is important that their products be reviewed honestly. So, by agreeing with that, they say how much they care about their products and what anyone has to say about them so that they can listen to what their customers would want from them with their products. After receiving the Fifine X3 Over-Ear Wireless headphones,…

Another last is Clubs, which has the #19 Pickleball Club, #10 All-American Club, and #11 Subway Club. If you ask me what is up with these series, numbers, and names, it is sports such as NFL players customized subs; they tell Subway what they would like to have for their sandwich, and then what would they name it? Then, put them on their menu as a series and let the customers have a taste of them, especially if they wonder how their favorite players like their sandwich at Subway. You can check out what these have, such as toppings, what kind of bread, and…
