Holiday Coffee and New Producer

Tis the season for many flavored holiday coffees. If you check with your favorite suppliers you will note the flavored coffees that are now availble.

Also please note a new producer in the K Cup enviornment with Kuerig coffee. I have not tried any of these but will in time. If anyone does please let us all know how you feel about them - Barista Prima Coffeehouse -

Efficient Purchasing

Just a quick note today - I was able to purchase five boxes of 24 K Cups each for $50.02. This was through 11thstreetcoffee.com. They had a 5% and 10% promotion plus free shipping over $50.00. If I did my math correctly this works out to be about .41 a cup which is on the less expensive side these days. One word of caution is that they are somewhat limited in their choices, but for me have all the bold, strong, full bodied coffees that the Mrs. and I enjoy.

I also found that Pete's Coffee is looking around again to purchase a distributor which could be very good for us. Nothing better than getting that good Pete's Coffee in the K Cup enviornment.

Coffees we would never order

Since we are pure coffee drinkers I thought I would show you how that some folks enjoy coffee that in fact is unhealthy.

All the best and enjoy the coffee of your choice

Old Favorites Revisited

Lots of blogging lately - Too much time with too little to do - Below you will find some opinions about five coffees that I procured through my "make your own box" account with Bigcatcoffee.com

1. Coffee People's Tree Hugger - It is fair trade and organic. It comes highly touted but for me without much flavor, aroma, or enjoyment. I was expecting to be wowed but left me flat and looking forward to another brand.

2. Caribou Coffee's Mahogany - Think I got caught up with the name as for this K Cup lacks spirit, taste, and follow through. Could hardly finish my cup. Again my expectations were high and wanted to fully enjoy this coffee. Bland, tasteless, soft, and I am moving on.

3. Tully;s Coffee French Roast - Promoted as an extra bold coffee that lacks after taste, original bursting of flavor, and of many French Roasts out there found this to be lacking intensity.

Next you will find two that I could and would recommend that you try if you enjoy a good flavored full bodied and enjoyable morning respite with good coffee.

1. Timothy's Parisian Nights - A real nice coffee that I have tried prior but had been sometime since tasting. I like the aroma, taste and follow through. It is a dark roast but I did not find it overwhelming. Feels like a nice smooth jog through a park. Refreshing without being overbrearing.

2. Green Mountain Coffee's Sumatran Reserve - Fair traded and certified organic - An extra bold coffee that delivers. Nice aroma, good initial taste that, in fact, stays with the entire cup as you finish. Good enough to have a second or third cup that same morning. Not overbearing but a good strong bold cup of coffee.

I know this is alot of to read but you have the choice of not doing so. I would love to read your comments and more importantly let me know of K Cups you have tried and have an opinion.
