K-Cup Challenge – Green Mountain Spring Revival Blend
Yup…I’ve managed to sustain another huge gap between K-Cup Reviews. It’s not like I’ve been slacking or anything, I’ve just been caught up with other projects (day job, 2nd sorta-job, yard work, and most importantly playing a lot of golf). So yeah, I’ve lost track of the coffee thing for a bit, but thankfully my [...]
Green Mountain Revvs Up Your K-Cups
Earlier this week I told you about Green Mountain’s new Travel Mug Sized K-Cups. While the feedback I’ve heard about that has been extremely positive (people really want a bigger cup), I’m not actually much of a travel mug guy myself. The thing is, I’ve got just short of a 1 hour drive [...]
Green Mountain Wants to Fill Your Tavel Mug (the whole thing)
I got home on Friday (actually, I didn’t, my wife did, but anyway) to find a box of K-Cups from Green Mountain sitting on my doorstep. Normally a box of boxes of delicious K-Cups from Green Mountain isn’t a huge surprise. As you probably know, I’ve worked when them quite a bit over the last [...]
Shoffee Launches 3rd Annual Shoffice Pool
It’s March Madness time again, which means it’s time again for Shoffee’s 3rd Annual Shoffice Pool. This year the prize pool is bigger than ever. Granted, 3 years isn’t a long time to track these sort of things, but never the less…our friend’s at Shoffee are offering some pretty sweet prizes for coffee-loving basketball fans [...]
K-Cup Challenge: Coffee People Tree Hugger
Before we get down to the actual review, there’s a few things I’d like to say. First; Happy New Year to everyone. Second; Welcome new Keurig owners, and K-Cup lovers who are discovering Qwowi Coffee for the first time. Thanks for the e-mails you’ve sent me, and I’m certainly glad you’re enjoying the site. Finally, [...]
Holiday Savings from Green Mountain
How’d you like to save 10% off you entire order at Green Mountain Coffee?
Now until the end of December (otherwise known as the “Holiday Season”), Green Mountain is running a little family and friends deal for their Coffee Ambassadors; guys like me who can’t stop talking about how good Green Mountain Coffee is. Occasionally, I’ll [...]
The K-Cup Challenge: Green Mountain Donut House Coffee
Pretty much since the beginning of K-Cup time there was Coffee People’s Donut Shop Coffee. Then earlier this year, Timothy’s announced (and then released) their Original Donut Blend. Apparently this made for a little bit more unchallenged Donut than Green Mountain was willing to swallow, and so they quickly responded with the K-Cup equivalent of [...]
The K-Cup Challenge: Coffee People’s Santa’s Buzz
I’ve been dragging my heals on this review for a while now. I don’t know if it’s a lack of Christmas spirit that has prevented me from reviewing this holiday seasonal, or if the simple fact that my day job boss, and my full-time wife (with her never ending stream of home renovation projects) have simple kept [...]
K-Cup Challenge: Gloria Jean’s Holiday Traditions
The end of fall means a couple of things here at Qwowi.com. First it means the end of the golf season in the northeast, which makes me generally miserable. On the upside it means that the seasonal winter blends are starting to trickle on to the market. Last year I reviewed Green Mountain’s Holiday Blend, [...]
The K-Cup Challenge: Timothy’s Original Kahlua
If you follow Shoffee on Facebook at all you already know that there’s been a fair amount of buzz…well…buzzing around the release of Timothy’s new Kahlua original. Of course, the truth of the matter is that Timothy’s is in fact, NOT the original Kahlua blend K-cup (that distinction belongs Coffee People’s now discontinued Kafe-Lua [...]
K-Cup Showdown: Pumpkin Fight!
Not that long ago, my friend Joe over at Shoffee.com asked me if I’d be interested in doing a head to head comparison of the 3 Seasonal Pumpkin varieties currently available in a K-Cup footprint. Without too much thought about it, I agreed. Of course, a few days later it dawned on me that not [...]
The K-Cup Challenge: Timothy’s Original Donut Blend
I’ve been a Keurig guy for about 2 years now (give or take), and have been doing this K-Cup Challenge thing for a while now. I’ve seen new K-Cup come, and sadly, I’ve seen K-Cups go. What I’ve never seen is the buzz and eager anticipation that’s surrounded the launch of Timothy’s Original Donut Blend. [...]
The K-Cup Challenge: Green Mountain The Perfect Peach
To me the words “peach” and “coffee” belong together almost as much as “peanut butter” and “tuna fish”. Sure, they’re both edible, and sure, they both go well with other things, but together…call me skeptical. Skepticism aside, when Green Mountain releases a new flavor, especially a limited edition seasonal, I feel almost obligated to give [...]
The K-Cup Challenge: Green Mountain Fair Trade Summer Safari Blend
Well, this is a first for Qwowi Coffee. I’m actually posting a review for a seasonal coffee, fully knowing that it’s probably completely sold out for the season. If we’re all lucky, we might see Summer Safari Blend again next summer, or better yet, maybe we could persuade Green Mountain to add it as a [...]
The K-Cup Challenge: Gloria Jean’s Mudslide
I spend a decent amount of time browsing Shoffee.com trying to decide what I’d like to review next. With 200+ varieties to choose from it sometimes can be difficult to select only a few at a time. Every now and again, however; something really grabs my attention. I’ll read the description and get to thinking [...]
The K-Cup Challenge: Emeril’s Big Easy Bold
While getting ready to pick a winner in our Keurig B60 Brewer giveaway I sat down with a cup (ok, lots of cups) of Emeril’s Big Easy Bold (which I’m fairly certain is made by Timothy’s). Just like our Keurig giveaway, my review of Big Easy Bold is sponsored by the Internet’s favorite coffee shop, [...]
The K-Cup Challenge: Tully’s Breakfast Blend
My buddy Kevin (who I’ve mentioned before) insists that he can’t tell the difference between one cup of coffee or another. Every now and again I’ll give him a sample of something new, and pretty much without exception he tells me it tastes like everything else. For all intents and purposes we’re talking about a [...]
