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 [...]
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, [...]
New K-Cups Coming Soon
For K-Cup lovers craving something new, I have some very good news for you. My friends at Green Mountain and Shoffee have some new samples on their way to me, I should have everything by the end of this week, which means you can expect reviews to begin trickling out early next. What makes these [...]
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: Green Mountain Cafe Escapes Hot Cocoa
While it’s not quite the K-Cup showdown we had when Christine compared all of the Earl Grey K-Cups available for Keurig brewers, I got to thinking that writing side by side reviews of the two new hot cocoa K-Cups from Green Mountain was really the only way to do it. I say this, because, as [...]
Green Mountain Launches Cafe Escapes, Starts Selling Caribou Coffee
I’m a little late in getting this information out (I’ve been busy), but there’s some pretty cool stuff happening over at Green Mountain Coffee Roasters that I wanted to make sure to mention before I get back to the K-Cup Challenge next week. If you read my review of the original Green Mountain Hot Cocoa, [...]
The Keurig B40 – Entry Level K-Cup Brewing
I used to get up every morning and brew a half of a pot or pot of coffee and be bored with it after the first cup. I whined to my wife about it and kept bugging her to ‘let me’ get a k-cup brewer. “We have a coffee pot already … why do you [...]
The K-Cup Challenge: Van Houtte Madigascar Vanilla Nut
How’s this for irony; a French-Canadian coffee company using vanilla from Madagascar in their coffee? Maybe Van Houtte knows what I’ve known to be true all along: big curly mustaches are cool, also French vanilla, especially in coffee, sucks. There I said it. Now I’m fairly certain my friends at Keurig would prefer it if [...]
The K-Cup Challenge: Gloria Jean’s Oolong Tea
Let me preface this review of Gloria Jean’s Oolong Tea by stating that I am an Tea drinker. I mostly purchase home grown loose leaf Teas from a local shop that specializes in production of therapeutic Teas; yeah, I’m hardcore. The tea shop was a gem of a find, but I can’t always get [...]
Qwowi Review: Brewing K-Cups with the Keurig B30 Mini
As you can probably figure out from our K-Cup Challenge, here at Qwowi we talk a lot about Keurig K-Cups. And while with the exception of my review of the B140 office brewer, we haven’t said much about the machines those K-Cups go in, but when Keurig adds a new model to their lineup, I do get a [...]
