Keurig B30 Single-Cup Brewers are Available Now (Red Ones Too)

Keurig B30 Single-Cup Brewers are Available Now (Red Ones Too)

It’s hard to image the self-confessed Keurig junkie that I am would wait this long (hey I’ve been busy) to tell you about the latest offering in the Keurig single-serve coffee machine lineup, but I did, and now I’m making it right.
The K-Cup Challenge should serve as a testament to how much I love the [...]

The K-Cup Challenge: Green Mountain 10% Kona (Extra Bold)

The K-Cup Challenge: Green Mountain 10% Kona (Extra Bold)

It seems like forever ago since I received a shipment of samples from my friends at Vermont’s own Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, but here I am still reviewing samples from that original batch (although they have sent some of their season stuff in between).  Sufficed to say, I’m keeping busy, but it’s a labor of [...]

The K-Cup Challenge: Green Mountain Dark Magic Decaf (Extra Bold)

The K-Cup Challenge: Green Mountain Dark Magic Decaf (Extra Bold)

It took a few months, but we’ve finally arrived at the last K-Cup Challenge review for initial batch of samples my friends at Green Mountain Coffee.  I expect this one will move quickly, not because I don’t have a lot to say about Dark Magic Decaf, but mostly because there’s not a whole lot I [...]

The K-Cup Challenge: Green Mountain Pumpkin Spice (Limited Edition)

The K-Cup Challenge: Green Mountain Pumpkin Spice (Limited Edition)

If leaving home before sunrise wasn’t enough of an indication that the best days of summer are far behind me, my friends at Green Mountain have decimated any lingering delusions I may have had.  When Green Mountain breaks out their limited edition Pumpkin Spice K-Cups, you pretty much know it’s just about time to put [...]

The K-Cup Challenge: Green Mountain Sumatran Reserve (Extra Bold)

The K-Cup Challenge: Green Mountain Sumatran Reserve (Extra Bold)

I’m back from Alaska and slowly working my way back into the reviewing business. It seems like nearly forever since I’ve reviewed anything, including the Qwowi standby, K-Cups. Luckily, I’ve still got a bit of a coffee stash in reserve so at least there’s variety to help me get back into the swing [...]

The K-Cup Challenge: Green Mountain Summer Symphony

The K-Cup Challenge: Green Mountain Summer Symphony

The 2nd of two special limited edition summer blends the kind folks at Green Mountain Coffee Roasters sent me, the Fair Trade Organic Summer Symphony blend, is more of a traditional light roast than the previously reviewed Raspberry Rhapsody.  You won’t be overpowered by fruit aromas and fruit flavors.  Instead, what I’ve got in front [...]

The K-Cup Challenge: Green Mountain Raspberry Rhapsody

The K-Cup Challenge: Green Mountain Raspberry Rhapsody

Love them or hate them for it, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters has a habit of releasing limited edition seasonal blends.  You may recall one of my first reviews was of Green Mountain’s Golden French Toast Blend.  Well, if you’re craving a cup of it now, take heart, you’re probably only 4-6 months away from it [...]

The K-Cup Challenge: Newman’s Own Special Blend Extra Bold (from Green Mountain)

The K-Cup Challenge: Newman’s Own Special Blend Extra Bold (from Green Mountain)

My sample of Newman’s Own Special Blend (Extra Bold) is the last of 3 samples sent to me by my friends at Keurig.  As you may recall, I wasn’t a fan of the Gloria Jean’s Hazelnut that they sent me, but the Tully’s Kona was a top 5 coffee (so far anyway), and if I’m [...]

The K-Cup Challenge: Green Mountain Fair Trade Island Coconut Coffee

The K-Cup Challenge: Green Mountain Fair Trade Island Coconut Coffee

Let me start with a disclaimer, if you’ve read my profile then you know that I’m crazy for anything coconut, so I was either going to love this coffee or hate it. Green Mountain’s Fair Trade Island Coconut Coffee is a spring seasonal flavor that claims it will send you to paradise with it’s sweet, [...]

The K-Cup Challenge: Green Mountain Hot Cocoa

The K-Cup Challenge: Green Mountain Hot Cocoa

My sample of Green Mountain Hot Cocoa was provided to me as part of Green Mountain’s ongoing support for this little K-Cup Challenge project I’ve undertaken.  I was pretty amped up to try hot cocoa in my Keurig brewer, as was my wife, who’s a huge fan of hot cocoa in pretty much every sort [...]
