Recently, one of my favorite coffee K-Cups was discontinued. It was the Dark Roast Hazelnut blend from Green Mountain, and I nearly cried when I found out it has been discontinued. And yes, I am just slightly addicted to caffeine. I was delighted to hear that Green Mountain Coffee Roasters has just introduced a new collection called Barista Prima Coffeehouse for those of us who enjoy a rich, dark roast. And I most certainly do – especially for my morning coffee ritual. I … [Read more...]
Congrats to the winner, Angie! Around this time last year, I reviewed the TASSIMO Suprema Hot Beverage machine by Bosch. It quickly became my favorite appliance in our kitchen home. The convenience of being able to brew a single cup at a time cannot be matched my any fancy coffee maker. Being the lone coffee drinker in our house, it saved me from wasting a lot of leftover coffee, but it became a time saver too. With a regular carafe-style coffee pot, I’d have cleaning to do … [Read more...]
The lucky winner is…Sue E.! When my Keurig arrived last week, my husband asked me, “Just how many coffee makers do you need?” It’s a pretty good question, actually. I own a regular coffee pot, one with a built-in burr grinder, a single serve system, and now finally, a Keurig. To answer my husband, I just had to know if the Keurig was better than all of the others. And yes, I just might be slightly obsessed with my coffee. Great gift idea for: the coffee lover on … [Read more...]
Contest closedDespite the warm weather, I still enjoy a hot morning coffee in the summer. But when the afternoon calls for another caffeine fix, I want something a little more refreshing. Iced coffee is a nice mid-afternoon treat that helps put a stopper in my energy drain while cooling me down. This is how I make my iced lattes using Green Mountain Coffee. First, get your coffee ready! I took out the Signature Sampler which includes whole bean bags of the customer … [Read more...]
When I wrote a review for the Tassimo single-cup brewer at the end of last year, it was only the beginning of my love affair with the machine. I’m still using it daily for my morning cup, my afternoon fix, and on really rough days, an evening jolt. The coffees are excellent, and coming from a person who previously only used whole bean coffee, that’s saying a lot. The packages are all vacuum sealed for freshness. My favorites are the Gevalia Skinny Cappuccino and the … [Read more...]
Contest ClosedIf you have been following along, you know that I am a coffee lover fanatic. I don’t function without my morning coffee, so if we have to leave the house earlier than usual, you’ll find me filling a travel mug to the brim. Most models have only proved to disappoint. Some are cheaply made, some leak when they shouldn’t, others pour from the seam instead of the spout. If you’ve ever spilled your coffee in your car or on yourself on your way to work, … [Read more...]
Before owning the Capresso Coffee Team GS, I would pour my whole beans into my grinder, insert a filter into my coffee maker, then dump the grinds in. There's nothing better than a pot of coffee made with freshly ground beans, but having to grind them in a separate container was messy. On almost every occassion, the beans or grinds would get spilled in the process, either on the counters, onto the coffee maker or on the kitchen floor.The Capresso Coffee Team GS is the first coffee … [Read more...]
When I was presented with the opportunity to review the TASSIMO Suprema Hot Beverage Machine by Bosch, I couldn't contain my excitement. I literally squealed with delight. My husband looked at me like I was crazy, but I didn't care. Not one bit. He just doesn't understand my affinity for coffee.I'd been dying for a single-cup brewer mainly because I am the sole coffee-drinker in our house. I hadn't even thought of the fact that it would also make my life easier. Up until now, my morning coffee … [Read more...]
