I<\/span> am crazy busy this week. I don’t have time for Internet drama (but oh, there is drama) and I don’t have time for the forecasted 30+ cm of snow between now and Friday (seriously!) and I really <\/em>don’t have time to talk at any length about coffee. But as we discussed on Twitter this weekend, it’s a simple fact of life: coffee sometimes trumps all.<\/p>\n

I just got a press release from Tim Hortons. I am still not sure I’ve forgiven them for their Christmas cup faux pas<\/a>, but I wanted to put this out there for your opinion. Apparently, they’ve broadened their coffee cup line so that starting next Monday a small is now an extra-small, a large is now a medium and an extra-large is four ounces bigger than it used to be.<\/p>\n

From the press release:<\/p>\n

Tim Hortons announced it will be brewing its biggest cup yet, with this month\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s introduction of a brand new extra large cup. Beginning January 23rd, the new cup will offer coffee lovers across Canada a premium quality, extra large coffee at a value price. To accommodate the brand new cup, the names of the other hot cup sizes have shifted: the original small is now extra small, the medium is now small and so forth. The change in names of the hot cup sizes will apply to all hot beverages – guests will still receive the same amount of coffee for the same price, only the name of the size has changed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m happy that they didn’t drop the small entirely, as since my last post <\/a>on the subject of Tim’s cup sizes (hey, what can I say, I’m obsessed) I’ve grown kind of fond of the kiddie-size small — soon to be known as the extra-small. But do we really need to buy our in coffee 2\/3 of a litre containers? I’m a hard-core coffee drinker and even I’m not sure I’d have many occasions to order THAT much coffee at a time. <\/p>\n

What say ye, bloggy peeps? Do you need your entire daily recommended dose of caffeine <\/a>in one 24-ounce hit, or is there such a thing as too big a cup of coffee?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
