Tempting Cocoa In K-Cups

The Keurig brewers make coffee using K-Cups while Tassimo uses T-pods and the other brands use coffee pods. By far, the largest variety of coffee is vacuum packed in K-Cups. This, undoubtedly is just one of the many reasons why Keurig outsells all other brands. In addition to having the largest selection of coffee, K-Cups are also available with cocoa and quite a large number of teas. Well respected names like Celestial Seasonings, Twinings, and Bigelow have packaged many of their best selling teas in K-Cups. So you can enjoy coffee in the morning, tea in the afternoon, and a delicious cup of cocoa at bedtime – all made with your Keurig brewer.

Green Mountain Coffee has just introduced two new cocoa k cups. Great for indulging anytime, either of these two is bound to hit the spot and both are brimming with the smooth, creamy flavor of chocolate.

1. Café Escapes Dark Chocolate Hot Cocoa is rich and decadently full of dark European chocolately flavor.
2. Café Escapes Milk Chocolate Hot Cocoa is the newest cocoa from Green Mountain and it’s worth waiting for. This creamy, indulgent treat has a smooth flavor, luscious, and satisfying.

Green Mountain Cocoa was developed especially for use with the Keurig brewer and makes a great mocha coffee when mixed with a K-cup blend. In a review from www.singleservecoffee.com., the comment was “We liked the fact we can use our Keurig to whip up a cup of the cocoa from a K-Cup…”

There are other brands of cocoa now packaged in K-Cups and you’re sure to find some new favorites. Take a look at these chocolate treats:

• Timothy’s White Hot Chocolate has been a best-seller for years and www.schoffee.com says its “…a favorite of hot chocolate lovers everywhere. They make a rich, creamy steamy cup of white hot chocolate –not available anywhere else.” A coffee fan on www.qwowi.com/2008 tried Timothy’s and says “…it’s thick and creamy and full of white chocolate flavor when brewed at the 7.25 setting. I could not have been more pleasantly surprised by Timothy’s White Hot Chocolate…It’s one tasty cup of white chocolate – “deliciosity!”
• Bellaccino Gourmet Hot Cocoa has a deep rich flavor with the intense lingering chocolate experience so cherished by true cocoa lovers.
• Gloria Jean’s Hot Cocoa in a K-cup is a rich creamy blend, sure to satisfy so the hot chocolate lover has quite a few to choose from – and they are all delicious!

For Best Results In Making Cocoa With A K-Cup:

• Store the K-Cups at room temperature.
• Shake the K-Cup before brewing.
• Use the 7.25 or 8 ounce setting on your Keurig Brewer.
• First, run a hot water brew cycle – without a K-cup.
• Then, just pop a K-Cup in your Keurig Brewer and, in less than a minute, you have a delicious cup of steaming, hot cocoa.

Top your cup or mug with a dollop of thick, sweet whipped cream and a dash of cinnamon or mound on the yummy marshmallows. What a luscious treat to enjoy any time of the day or night!

Kenya AA from Green Mountain
This is a full flavored coffee of the finest AA beans from the slopes of Mt. Kenya of Africa. It is a rich, full-bodied blend with a tantalizing aroma and smooth finish  that will make it one of your favorites. Says one enthusiast,” This is by far my favorite coffee.

Once you start drinking this coffee, it becomes a very important part of the morning. “I drink two 9 ounce cups in the morning, two in the evenings; my wife the same…Since we had this brewer (a Keurig Platinum), it changed my schedule a lot. I used to go out to drink coffee at Dunkin Donuts but not any more.” Another echoes those sentiments,” I was a Dunkin Donuts fan until I tasted this!” The raves continue,”This is an excellent coffee in the morning or any other time of the day.….”, ‘This coffee is great for breakfast since it’s nice and smooth.”

Fair Trade Island Coconut

Nantucket Blend
Green Mountain’s most complex blend creates a cup of exceptional character and flavor. It has a loyal following that have been drinking this blend for over 20 years.

I’ve tried many brands and blends and this is by light years my favorite. Nantucket is now more than an island in the region; it is the name of my morning state of mind. This coffee will be your favorite at first taste!” Just like the fan of Nantucket Blend said, that first cup of coffee in the morning can become your morning state of mind! So make sure it’s a good one!

Now You Can Use Those Coffee PODS with Your Keurig Brewer

Now say you’re one of those coffee lovers who bought a single serve coffee maker that was NOT a Keurig brewer – and then you saw the light. Now you have a Keurig machine that uses K-Cups but you’re stuck with boxes of coffee pods designed for the other machine. Waste no more! There’s a solution to the problem which lets you use up those pods with your Keurig brewer. Plus, if there is a very special flavor or roast that is available only in a pod, that you just must have, you can continue enjoying it.

The Perfect Pod Holster has been designed especially for the Keurig machine, making it the only single serve brewer that is able to use THREE different coffee brewing methods:

• K-Cups
• Reusable My K-Cup Filter with your favorite gourmet coffee
• Perfect Pod Holster using coffee pods

You can use any pod that is 55 mm or larger. The holster has a self-tamping spring which helps extract the coffee. You can also make your own pods using the Perfect Pod Maker. The coffee brewed with the Holster is good and the system is quite easy to use.

How To Use The Perfect Pod Holster

• Remove the K-Cup holder from the brewer. This is not difficult as it pops right out, leaving a space for the Perfect Pod Holster.
• Make a mushroom-like cap of the coffee pod.
• Place the coffee pod into the Perfect Pod Holster.
• Put the cap on the Holster.
• Make sure the coffee pod is pressed tight against the cap.
• Place the Perfect Pod Holster into the Keurig brewer just like you would do with a K-Cup.

• Allows you to use any coffee pod in the Keurig brewer.
• Easy to use
• You can make more pods with the Perfect Pod Maker
• Economical as it offers different options

The Perfect Pod Holster has attracted many fans who enjoy its versatility and ease of use. Says one, “HATS OFF to the genius who figured out how to put a coffee pod into the K-Cup coffee maker! I was a little skeptical but the Pod Holster WORKS! Now the coffee costs about half as much as before, it is still incredibly tasty and convenient and everything that goes in the trash is biodegradable…” Another says, “Great alternative to making coffee and using existing single tea bags! I bought this along with the Perfect Pod Maker and LOVE it. I can create pods using my own coffee. It works great on my Keurig  B60.”  So this option allows you to use both K-Cups and coffee pods and enjoy even more flavors and blends.

Great smell and taste.”

Also, Decaf Caramel Vanilla Cream is now available. You can enjoy an after dinner cup or crawl into bed with a big mug of this tasty blend. You can splurge on a sweet bedtime treat and never have to worry about night time jitters or sleeplessness. Plus, no additional night time load of calories!

Coffee drinkers agree that Mocha Nut Fudge is a smooth, creamy blend with an enticing aroma. Says one fan, “Coffee and fudge always go well together, though, often,- the flavor of chocolate coffee misses the boat. Mocha Nut Fudge has the perfect balance of chocolate and delicious nuttiness, and is awesome when blended with Raspberry Rhapsody.”

Fair Trade Raspberry Rhapsody is bursting with a smooth raspberry flavor that has captivated many. It is a Limited Edition coffee from Green Mountain Roasters, and like the berry, it appears only during the summer. Says one coffee fan, “I absolutely love this blend of coffee! Wish it wasn’t a limited edition. I’m stocking up.” It’s delicious both served black or with a dash of cream and sugar. One coffee devotee says “As a burly, manly man, I’m a little embarrassed to tell you how much I love Raspberry Rhapsody over ice. Somebody get me some whipped cream and a cherry – make that a raspberry! It’s SO good!”

This is just a sampling of the delicious treats available in K-Cups. Great as a dessert, mid-morning snack or bedtime indulgence. Stock up your pantry shelves with these tidbits, full of  flavor – but not calories.

A Rite Of Spring

Fair Trade Spring Revival coffee is back – just in time to welcome the first tulips and daffodils – and brighten your Spring mornings. This seasonal blend has just been released by Green Mountain Coffee and it’s a pure delight. Full of sweet, floral aromas with touches of mellow honey, this coffee is as pleasant as a sunny meadow in May. Rich,  ripe fruit notes with a dash of citrus and fragrant spices, this coffee is bound to brighten that morning cup.

Spring Revival is a blend of beans from Mexico, Peru, and Rwanda which makes for a smooth but complex blend. This is a Fair Trade Certified coffee and some beans come from a cooperative in Mexico, the Union Regional de Pequenos Productores de Café in Huatusco, Mexico. This cooperative was formed by a small group of farmers who realized that by working together there was hope of raising their tiny village up and out of extreme poverty. They have had remarkable success and, today, this co-op has a membership of more than 1,908 small coffee farmers. The group includes 600 women, which is a big step forward to helping them and their families. With the increased money that is earned as Fair Trade farmers, the members of this co-op are working to build schools and regional health care centers for their small villages.

The coffee from Peru is also Fair Trade Certified and was produced by small farmers who are organized into the Frontera se San Ignacio Coffee Farmers’ Cooperative. This group was able to raise or borrow enough funds to purchase a coffee mill located on the Pacific coast of northern Peru. By actually owning the mill, the co-op will lower its costs for milling and will be better able to standardize the quality of its coffee. This will benefit the farmers and, also, improve the quality of YOUR cup of coffee.

Green Mountain Coffee Roasters supports the efforts of local farmers in coffee growing areas of the world. When a coffee is Fair Trade Certified, it means that the workers who raise and process the beans receive a more equitable portion of the sales price. To earn this certification, a coffee importer and the beans must meet stringent international requirements. In addition to paying the farmers more fairly, the importer must assist with the transition to more organic methods and provide them with much needed credit for purchases. Coffee importers, like Green Mountain, assist these farmers in their efforts to improve the health, education, and development of the people living in their small villages.

When you have a cup of Spring Revival coffee, be assured that you will enjoy wonderful, fresh flavor from beans raised by farmers, whose community will benefit from their sale. In 1961, the Pan American Coffee Bureau said, “Good coffee is like friendship: rich and warm and strong.” Spring Revival is a positive symbol of this feeling.

k-cups – A Taste of Paradise

Fresh as the morning air of Hawaii, fragrant with the sweet smell of coconut, this Limited Edition of coffee brings you a taste of Paradise. Available only in the Spring, once you taste Fair Trade Island Coconut coffee, you’ll want to stock up. This blend is one of Green Mountain Coffee’s favorites and the laments when it’s gone can probably be heard clear across the sea in Hawaii! Says one, “…It was the best coffee I ever had!!! I was so disappointed when I found out the flavor was no longer available for the rest of the season. I am now counting down the days until it is available again. Can you please make the coconut flavored coffee available year round?”

So a word to the wise – STOCK UP NOW!  Savor this delight year round. It can bring a bit of Island sunshine to those cold dreary days of Winter or add a mellow golden warmth to a Fall evening by the fire. Take a word of advice from the wise: “I love this coffee so much and wish that it was offered all year. When it does finally come out in March, it is a challenge to get it. So many people enjoy it that it flies off the shelves quickly. I try to stockpile it but it never seems as though I can find enough to purchase to get me through the months after production is halted.” Another pleads, “PLEASE…you really need to offer the Island Coconut flavor all year long. My mom and I are both huge fans of Green Mountain Coffee and this one is by far our favorite. We usually stock up and buy several bags every Spring because we know it will be gone too soon. It is really a shame. Obviously, there are MANY of us coconut lovers who would enjoy drinking this coffee all the time…”

Island Coconut k-cups is a blend of lightly roasted beans from Central America which meets the Fair Trade Certification standards. This means that the farmers who raise and process the beans receive a more equitable portion of the sale price. In addition, both importer and the coffee beans must meet stringent requirements and there must be a sincere, joint effort by the farmers and importers to support sustainable agricultural methods. This requires a transition to more organic practices as well as the extension of credit to accomplish these goals. Overall, it is a win-win situation for everyone, including, YOU, as the quality of your cup of coffee is vastly improved.

Fair Trade Island Coconut has a rich, mellow taste of coconut with the subtle sweetness of coffee. There are no artificial sweeteners or sugar used in this blend, which has a delightful aroma, and is delicious served hot or over ice, as an afternoon treat. Don’t miss out on this taste of paradise – and remember to plan ahead as this delightful coffee is not available year round.

Blueberry Cobbler
Mmmm – when this cup is brewing, there’s a wonderful aroma of rich blueberry pie or muffins, just out of the oven. When you taste it, there’s the  lush flavor of fresh blueberries with a dash of cinnamon and sugar, smothered in cream. The combination of coffee with juicy, sun-kissed blueberries IS unusual but delicious. Says one fan, “…Even if you don’t drink flavored coffee, do yourself a favor and try it, you’ll like it!!!!”

Mudslide
This great flavored coffee  brims with decadent chocolate, creamy vanilla, a dash of almond and is sure to satisfy your yen for something special. It’s great served over ice in a tall glass, topped with a big dollop of whipped cream. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon for a great afternoon pick-me- up. One devotee of Mudslide received it in an Introductory Pack of K-Cups with her new Keurig brewer. She says “…there’s one word that says how I feel about it –YUM! I used the 9 ounce setting, which worked well, and the smell coming out of the brewer was heavenly. It has a very rich chocolate taste that reminded me of brownies and fudge. I added a little vanilla creamer and a shot of Butterscotch schnapps- wow! It was so good I could have drunk three of them. Unfortunately, there was only one but there will be more in a few days when the two boxes I ordered arrive!”

Ginger Snap
This coffee is perfect for those who love ginger, with its piquant bite and fragrant aroma. It smells just like gingersnaps, warm and fresh, straight from the oven. There are buttery sweet notes, with mellow tones of molasses, cloves and spices, which grows richer with each mouthful. Brew a cup and top with whipped cream and a dash of nutmeg. You’re your time and savor these delicious moments. One fan of the Gingersnap blend says, “…The coffee itself is mild and not bitter or acidic. I recommend it as an after dinner treat with a little cream and lightly sweetened.”
