Smart and Final has introduced their own line of coffee to their stores and I am thrilled to share this news with you (There are several Smart and Final locations in San Diego County). Their new line of Ambiance Premium World Class Selections coffee is really reasonable and actually pretty good. They offer a variety of flavors – Kona Style, Gourmet Supreme, French Roast, House Blend to name a few. I have been drinking this coffee in place of my normal brand since the beginning of the year and am really satisfied with the taste and consistency of each brew. My favorite so far is the French Roast Coffee. It has been a good change to smell freshly brewed coffee from my kitchen and the best part is there are no lines to wait in. I have to opportunity to give one of my readers a chance to win a basket of assorted flavors of Ambiance coffee and a $150 Smart and Final Gift Certificate. Here are the details:

My favorite coffee moment? If it’s not having a creme in a cafe in Paris, it’ll have to be every morning with my Tassimo maker. Mmm. Now I want coffee!
My favorite coffee moment happens every morning when the that caffeine kicks in and I start functioning like a normal person.. 🙂
mmmmmmm coffee!!!!! my favorite coffee moments are cuddling up with a warm blanket, cup of coffee, and my kindle 🙂
Coffee has been a part of my life since the 6th grade! There’s many moments but I”ll say that the first time I had ice cream on espresso was neat.
I don’t drink coffee — but I do love Smart and Final so I am entering.
My coffee moment: I worked next to a coffee store in college. I could see the employees through the glass all day while I worked. I would signal for them to bring me a drink (hot cocoa). There was this guy, and he would bring me a drink in the mornings.
One day he asked me to marry him, and told me that he wanted to hold my hand in Russia as we danced all night and then watched the sunrise.
I turned him down (I didn’t even know his name). But see, coffee makes people happy!
Favorite coffee moment for me is early in the morning, before everyone else gets up!

I love that first cup of coffee when I get to work in the morning. This brand sounds good!
My favorite coffee moment is having coffee out on the deck with my husband at sunrise before the kids wake up. It’s our special time.

I love a cup of coffee at night while I read a good book
I’m not really a coffee drinker (but my mom would LOVE the gift basket), but I like my hot beverage while in the tub!
I’m the ultimate coffee addict. I have the coffee pot right in my bedroom a top a mini fridge to hold my milk (and some beer, lol!).

My favorite coffee moment is that first delicious cup every morning. It’s the inspiration I need to get out of my nice, warm bed!

My favorite coffee moment….my first cup every morning, before I have to get the kids and Hubby up and off….those few minutes of peace and quiet before the craziness!
I guess my favorite coffee moment would be that first cup of fresh brewed coffee in the morning, but I love coffee anytime

I like to have my coffee first thing in the morning at work…when it’s quiet and nobody’s there to bother me yet!
My favorite coffee moment is sitting down with my mom and drinking our coffee while we can chat and hang out with no need to hurry to get somewhere else.

I start work really early in the morning and I love that quiet hour in the office over a cup of coffee, before everyone else barges in!
My favorite coffee moment… probably would be the first few sips of something hot and delicious, especially when it’s cold out.

My favorite coffee moment? I’m stuck between 2010 in Florence, Italy with my fiancee and every morning, the smell of hazelnut coffee brewing while I make smoothies for myself and Carlos to kickstart our day.
My favorite coffee moment is at the end of a long day at work. I get to sit with my cup for 20 minutes and enjoy the news in peace.

One of my favorite coffee moments was occasionally getting a cup of coffee with a cookie at my grandma’s house when I was a kid. She told me stories about her life– miss those days!

My favorite coffee moment is Saturday mornings. That is when my husband and I get up early to make a fabulous pot of coffee and then spend the morning relaxing with coffee in bed and chat about the week. We don’t do much coffee during the week so this is really a treat for us both. Add working all week this is our chance to reconnect.

This one is a memory from when I was a child.
My mother had a Myna Bird.
After hearing my brother demand his coffee everyday….the bird picked it up and when someone came into the room, the bird would say “I want my Coffee”
It was so funny when guests would come over and not even realize who was saying this!
