The Blueberry Coffee Crisis of 2025: A caffeinated confession with a fruity twist

I have some very distressing news about my newest obsession—yes, you guessed it: blueberry coffee.

After using up all the bags I (very discreetly) ordered, I figured it was time to restock. It’s a seasonal item, after all. I can’t imagine going months without it. So, I hopped on Amazon planning to grab two... or three... or maybe four bags. You know, just to be safe.

Only… it was out of stock.

Wait - WHAT?!

How could this happen?

A Search Fueled by Panic

Mild panic turned into full-blown “I need coffee” mode. I immediately Googled Blueberry County Door Coffee. (Gourmet Coffee Company | Buy Specialty Coffee Online)

With a relieved sigh, I found their official site. There was hope! I clicked the blueberry coffee listing and...

OUT. OF. STOCK.

No. No, no, no. This could not be my reality.

Desperately, I hit the search bar: blueberry coffee. Crossed my fingers. Closed my eyes. Whispered to the universe: Please let it still exist.

Hope in Smaller Portions

And there it was. Not the full-size bags, but a 6-pack of smaller ones— 1.5 ounces each. Not ideal, but I could make it work.

I clicked Add to Cart.

Then clicked it again. Paused for a moment of restraint... and added two more.

Desperate times call for deeply caffeinated measures.

Because honestly—how could I face a world in which blueberry coffee was no longer a part of my daily joy?

One Little Secret...

Oh, and Matt? Matt doesn’t need to know about this little obsession.

Let’s just say… some things don’t need to appear on our shared Amazon history. 😇

A Weekend-Only Plan (Sort Of)

To bring a touch of balance to this mildly unhinged moment, I’ve made a deal with myself:

Blueberry coffee is now a weekend-only indulgence.

This way, I have something to look forward to all week. A little ritual. A small delight. A fruity, bold cup of happiness.

PS - A Justified Purchase - I Swear!

Blueberry coffee has five stars from 582 reviews.

There is no way this many people could possibly be wrong.

PPS – It Gets Worse (or Better?)

Just for good measure, I decided to toss in a few bags of blackberry coffee, too.

I mean—I might want to mix things up.

Besides, I had to hit the magic number for free shipping, right?
