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…
Hey there, everybody! I hope that all of you are doing well and keeping warm, since we are heading into winter, cold weather, depending on where you are from. Speaking of where you are from, I would love to hear where you are from (do not give the exact location, but a region, or at least a hundred or so miles away), and how the weather is over there in the comment. Some of you already know that I am from the eastern part of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, near the border with West Virginia in the Appalachian Mountains. The weather here in winter often surprises us; one day it feels like summer, and the next it’s freezing with snow. For instance, a perfect example of a weather surprise is the flood a day after Valentine’s Day this year, 2025, which has become the second-largest flood since 1977. The great flood of 1977 submerged most of our cities, and that happened again almost 50 years later on February 15th, 2025. It was unbelievable to witness, because where I reside, by a river, the river became pretty much a lake, with my house becoming an oceanfront. I, along with my mother, was very fortunate that my house is on a side of the mountain, but unfortunately, all of the houses below…
I know it has been a long time since I wrote a snippets article; a few things prevent me from finding the time to write an article or even a review for anything. In the summer is when I usually barely find any time to write anything, but as the fall season approach and then the winter is when I find the time to write more often, which is why if you take a good look at all of my articles or reviews written on here you would see that I write more often from fall to spring then slow down a lot in the summer. During the summer, there are always conflicts in my schedules for anything, not just my media company/blog but also other works such as photography since I own a photography business and my time for anything such as spending time with family or friends. I always struggle with trying to find any time that has no conflict with others in the summer. Still, from fall to spring, especially in the winter, it becomes easier on me, so this year should not be any different than many years in a row, so I should be back writing more articles or reviews as the fall approach or more so when the winter is nearing. Before I start…
