The K-Cup Addicts thread

nittanygirl · #1 01-07-2011, 04:00 PM

Because of all of the discussion in the "What do you feel like saying" thread over the past few weeks of K-cups & the Keurig I decided a thread would be nice so we can discuss flavors we've tried, what we like and what we don't, and our excitement over ordering new k-cups!!!

Today I had Timothy's Italian Blend & am very excited about my free samples of the new Barista Prima brand AND the holiday k-cups boyfriend's mom gave me the other day! Yay!!!

My favorite k-cup is: Donut Shop!!!

Also really like the Celestial Seasonings English Breakfast tea

I actually bought the "My K-cup" and use my whole bean coffee - currently Philz Tesora blend. Of the pre-packaged, I like the Caribou Coffee Morning blend best.

I'm VERY leery to try the teas as a k-cup - too much time spent in Ireland/England and enjoying the ritual of taking tea as much as a good cuppa.

I had hot chocolate this morning. I love the hot chocolate! I also love the hot apple cider.

Today in the mail I got French Vanilla and Caramel Vanilla Cream or something. Also more hot chocolate and the peppermint tea.

I love the flavored coffees and have been trying a bunch of my parents. So far from theirs candy cane is my fave.

too expensive so we don't have one. Neither wife and I drink coffee anyway. The whole concept seems pretty interesting though.

seniczip! I'm so jealous you were able to get the hot apple cider and peppermint tea. They were sold out when I looked!!! I'm glad the apple cider is good though it gives me something to look forward to!

I'm drinking the hot cocoa now with added raspberry syrup. Yum.

Apple cider was sold out when I ordered mine online but my parents found it at bed, bath, and beyond! The tea was in stock though so it was one of my buy 2 get 2 free coupon

I did sign up to get alerts when a couple were back in stock and I got one about the apple cider so it should be in stock now

^^^^Lmao, to tell you the truth I did too! But I want a Keurig so badly but am such an occasional drinker idk if I will splurge on it or not. They were doing free samples and demonstrations at Bed Bath & Beyond and I fell in love!

So did I but I wasn't nearly as enthralled as you apparently were.

Lol you know us GCers and our love of extra large bras!!!

Def might check out the cider thing at Bed Bath & Beyond once I get back to State College. I am pretty stocked up on kcups though at the moment and probably don't need anymore.

As for occasional drinkers, I don't really think a Keurig would be something I'd purchase if I rarely drank coffee (then again, I still received one as a gift). The tea does taste excellent (tastes like it was steeped perfectly) and there are cocoas, ciders, etc, but I really feel like it is more of a coffee invention and you can have tea from heating up a cup in the microwave anyways for 2 min.

DH has a Keurig in his office, and I do consulting work for his company, so I'm in the office maybe once a month. Recommendations??

We own a Senseo so I'd love to get recommendations for Senseo pods too.

If you like a plain coffee, I really do thing the Donut Shop or Donut House are the best ones.
If you like a flavored coffee, Emeril's Vanilla Bean is pretty tasty.
For non-coffee drinks, I do like the hot cocoa, and Celestial Seasonings teas.

As for today, I tried Caribou Daybreak from my sample pack and it's okay. Kind of weak for my tastes, but a nice simple coffee. Would be better with added flavor syrups.

I had Barista Prima Colombia today and it was terrible. I don't know why but it just did not have a good flavor to me at all. Like pencil lead.
Yuck.

IndianaSigKap · #14 02-02-2011, 10:13 PM

Love all the Celestial Seasonings teas!

ADPiTigergurl · #15 02-02-2011, 11:19 PM

I absolutely love my Keurig!!! She has a name it is Zoe, and my roomate and I consider her the 3rd roomate lol.

But I agree with everyone Donut Shop for the plain coffee, emerill's french vanilla for a flavor, and the other day i had golden french toast (or something like that) from a friend and it was wonderful!!! Oh and english black tea, i don't really care for it, but add some honey and it was the only thing that got my voice through recruitment week
