What mom doesn’t need a little caffeine to help get going in the morning? Maybe you’re one who goes to bed early and is bright and wide awake come morning time, but I’m certainly not. I need my coffee in the morning. If I don’t get that cup of coffee, I find myself dragging. And a cup of really good quality coffee can make a big difference.
Winchell Mountain Coffee is a small, family-owned coffee roaster based in New York. Their coffee is perfectly roasted to superb perfection. Here’s a few reasons why Winchell Mountain coffee is so great:
- Coffee beans are used from around the world and a shipment is not accepted until that harvest has been sampled repeatedly, both in its raw green and roasted form.
- Exclusive blends are crafted from rare single origin coffees like yrgacheffe, which is a region of Ethiopia and rumored to be where the first coffee came from
- Coffee is roasted using old old-world traditions – with only hands and heat
- Entire roasts will be thrown away if the beans are not sampled perfectly due to high quality standards
- One-way goglio valve bags pack the coffee so as to assure absolute freshness. Coffee will have a shelf life of up to 6 months.
The owners, Will Rivkin and Allen Ricca, take the art of coffee very seriously but that doesn’t mean their coffee itself has to be serious. They’ve teamed up with renowned cartoonist and children’s book author, Sandra Boynton, to add some fun.
Winchell Mountain Coffee has 15 varieties of hand roasted coffees that feature Sandra Boynton’s legendary characters and fun names like Not a Morning Person, Bob’s Diner, and Espresso Overdrive, just to name a few.
I received four varieties to try out: Beach Blend, Wide Awake, Country Morning, and their limited edition Valentine’s Day: An Affectionate Blend. You can choose ground or whole beans and I picked ground. This coffee is ground finer than any other coffee I’ve ever tried and its flavor really comes through. It’s amazing and such a treat to enjoy.
We try a lot of different coffee blends in our house and not just the boring grocery store blend. I have to say that Winchell Mountain Coffee is the best and our favorite.
I’m not sure which is more enjoyable: the delicious coffee or laughing at the whimsical Sandra Boynton characters. My husband, Nate, loves cows and he thinks the Sandra Boyton cow is pretty awesome. I’d have to agree; they are so cute and sure to put a smile on your face each morning. Winchell Mountain Coffee paired up with Sandra Boynton artistry is a winning combination.
I’ve come to look at my morning cup of Winchell Mountain Coffee as a guilt-free morning treat. I’m sure you will too once you try out this delicious coffee!

I would love to try to Valentines one. I love Sandra Boynton’s books, by the way! I read them to my son when he was little and now to my baby girl. The illustrations are awesome.
I’d try any of them, to be honest. We are a coffee-drinking household and have chosen to give up some other ‘luxuries’ to spend what money we have on good coffee!

Since I never know when the mood will strike me, and force me to brew a pot of coffee, the Bob’s Diner flavor sounds best for me — A Pleasing All-Day Coffee.
Beach Blend and the Perfect Harmony are two I would really like to try. I love coffee and drink about 4 cups every day but I don’t like a strong or bold coffee. I like one that has no bitter taste. The Perfect Harmony might be the perfect blend for me. Beach Blend is Mellow so I know that would be great for morning coffee for me. I want to wake up but not shake apart lol
Thanks for sharing another tasty review and giveaway with all of us~!

I wish I found this earlier. After hearing it was bad for my health so many times, I quit drinking it.
I read an article earlier this week about coffee and skin cancer. Surprisingly, it’s actually beneficial to people. Here’s a clip of what I found…
“According to new studies from the American Association for Cancer Research, drinking coffee may reduce your risk for developing basal cell carcinoma. Approximately one million new cases of basal cell carcinoma are diagnosed each year, making it the most common form of skin cancer. Particularly common on sun-exposed areas of the body like the face, scalp, and arms, basal cell carcinoma is treated by excising or freezing off the cancerous area. It’s rarely fatal, but it does put you at higher risk for other, more deadly kinds of skin cancer like melanoma.
These studies followed the health of more than 110,000 people from 1984 to 2008. Approximately 25,000 of these people developed skin cancer, 22,786 of which were cases of basal cell carcinoma. The studies showed that women who drank more than three cups of coffee a day were 20 percent less likely to develop basal cell carcinoma and men who drank the same amount reduced their risk by nine percent, when compared to people who drank less than one cup of coffee a month.”
Since my grandfather has skin cancer and I’ve already had some scary biopsies, I’ve decided to start drinking it again.
I agree. The cow is funny. Very cute. Thank you for sharing your review with us.
Plus, I like the smaller bags.
