Announcing New Series: The Daily Dunk

A few weeks ago I was munching on some Cheetos and instinctively  reached for my coffee cup and took a sip. During that time I was checking out Jason’s @CoffeeCupNews forum, reading about the strangest things other people have eaten with their coffee. I realized what had just happened and added mine to the list of banana, muffins and popcorn. Little did I know what this would turn into.

A couple  days after, Jason began to joke, on his live streams, about my addition to the list and to dunk a Cheeto in my coffee. Thoughts of a soggy cheesy snack made me resistant. I took his joke as a dare the next day.

Watching the stream, I set up the Cheeto bag and mug by my laptop. Took a picture dunking the Cheeto. And another eating it. The expression on Jason’s face was priceless. You have to watch that weeks episodes to see for yourself. Everyone got such a kick out of this, it gave me an idea to finally start a daily series.

I give you the “Daily Dunk”.

Personally, I have never dunked anything into my coffee before that day.  Sure, many people dunk donuts and what not but it never occurred to me to dunk anything in my coffee. But I think it’s time to start on a regular basis.

So, for the month of July, I will be pairing coffee with various treats then dunking it. This will not be a coffee or food review. My goal for this series is to help you pick your own pairings for different coffee and develop your pallet. After the educational part, I’ll dunk the item in my coffee for kicks and giggles.

I’m not sure where I want this little series to go so I will begin with only a month. So if you like what you see, feel free to make suggestions to turn this into a long-term thing.

QOTD- What do you like to pair with coffee?

    I've never been fond of Bran muffins, but sure sounds good. Will have to give them another chance.

    I like to dunk bran muffins, preferably homemade ones, in my coffee…the spice of the muffin and the full body of the coffee are a match made in heaven, IMHO. I guess the only other thing I have dunked in coffee has been biscotti and I like that a lot too but bran muffins remain the favorite dunk of them all. Ciao, Ardee-ann

    It's all about bringing out different notes in the coffee. From the more complex and vague notes to the overpowering notes and how to balance it with food.

    Absolutly looking forward to see what you will pair in this series of the “Daily Dunk”.Sounds awesome to me, and I have dunked alot of things in my coffee over the years and it is a treat for sure, though not always the best pairings made but still worth the try :-)
