Relaxing with Café Escapes® @cafeescapes K-Cup® Portion Packs #YourPerfectCup

February 4, 2012 By Momstart 371 Comments

As A Keurig K-cup Portion Pack ambassador I have had the privilege of trying all kinds of different k-cup portion pack brands and flavors. This month’s supply was from Café Escapes and they illustrated the decadence and indulgence of the Keurig.

I tried all the flavors and my favorite flavor is the Cafe Escapes Chai Latte K-Cups for Keurig Coffee Machines – 16 Pack. Café Escapes also come in Mocha, dark hot chocolate and milk hot chocolate. I’m usually quite the chocolate fan but mocha or coffee flavored chocolate has never really worked for me.

With this K-Cup® Portion Packs campaign we’re teaming up with Birchbox. Birchbox is an innovative and new way to try beauty products before you buy them. You get to sample them because Birchbox provides its subscribers with monthly deliveries of samples from well-known beauty brands.

Barista Prima Coffeehouse K-Cup Portion Packs & GreenMountain Discount Code

November 26, 2011 By Momstart 2 Comments

This month I received the Barista Prima Coffeehouse® K-Cup® portion packs from GreenMountain as part of the Your Perfect Cup Ambassador program that I’m part of and for the first time, I really didn’t like the coffee very much. Now, before you X this coffee brand off your list you need to know why I don’t like it because it might just be your next coffee brand. You see, this coffee is STOUT, strong, deep, rich, it’s not a sweet cup of Joe. I like sweet, my husband on the other hand, he likes a stronger cup of coffee than I do so this has been his month.

the Barista Prima Coffeehouse® K-Cup® portion packs from GreenMountain are an exclusive collection of the world’s finest Arabica coffees roasted in the tradition of Europe’s most celebrated coffee houses. They are designed for the passionate coffee lover, the richest, darkest varieties for the Keurig® brewer are now available at the touch of a button.

· Barista Prima Coffeehouse® K-Cup® portion packs are available in four varieties:

Colombia

Medium-dark Roast
High-altitude treasure from a land of legendary coffee
Accented by wondrously bright, bold fruit notes and a distinctive hint of walnut, this deeply roasted cup elevates satisfaction into a realm all its own

House Blend

Medium-dark Roast
The timeless perfection of your best-loved coffee house cup
Classically balanced with a lively splash of citrus, subtle hints of bittersweet chocolate and a well-rounded, toasted-nut finish

Italian Roast

Dark Roast
A deep, dark-roasted delight, done right
This robust, heavy-bodied cup with its ripe fruit and berry notes epitomizes the time-honored Italian tradition of dark-roasted coffee house brews
Subtle hint of smokiness and a bright clean finish

French Roast

Darkest Roast
Sweet, smoky love song to the cafés of Paris
Daringly dark, smoky-sweet brew with a surprisingly light mouth feel
This intensely bold, elegantly-bodied cup provides indisputable proof of our roast masters’ consummate artistry

Out of these four blends the only one that I kind of liked was the House Blend, the next one I would drink would be the Columbia but I really gave all of these flavors to my husband because for me to like them I had to have half a cup of creamer with them. Really, I like my coffee sweet! I’m a sugar girl.

Barista Prima Coffeehouse can be purchased online at www.BaristaPrima.com and www.Keurig.com, as well as in select grocery stores and specialty retailers nationwide^®.

COUPON CODE:

AM0015-3602. Use this code on www.GreenMountainCoffee.com to receive a 15% discount on the entire store as well as free standard shipping. This code is valid now through December 15^th, and may not be combined with any offer or discount including Café EXPRESS.

If you Could Drink a Donut What Would Your Flavor Be? #YourPerfectCup

September 7, 2011 By Momstart 20 Comments

Having used the Keurig Coffee machine for years now I’ve narrowed down my favorite flavors and brands. My favorite brand is the Donut House collection followed closely by the Tully’s Brand. The Donut House® Collection captures the warm familiarity of your neighborhood diner in its delicious brews. Within the next week, you will receive four varieties of Donut House K-Cup® portion packs. Each results in a reliable, straightforward cup that never disappoints.

The thought of drinking a donut was at first a scary idea. Most flavored coffees fail unless it’s your favorite flavor, my favorite flavor is vanilla and I like almost every coffee with that flavor. Chocolate has always been a harder flavor to put into coffee with success in my opinion. So I tried the Donut House Chocolate Glazed Donut flavor a year ago with much skepticism. Guess what, We Love the Donut House chocolate glazed donut flavor, both my husband and I. And when we tried the Extra Bold Donut house we were equally surprised at how good it was being plane. It’s delicious. The Cinnamon flavor, my husband, he’s not a fan, but I enjoy it. With only four flavors, I find myself waiting for Donut house to try something new.

Here is a list of flavors you can purchase at Green Mountain or at Amazon.

Donut House Collection Coffee, Cinnamon Roll, 24-Count K-Cup Portion Packs
Donut House Collection Coffee, Chocolate Glazed Donut, 24-Count K-Cup Portion Packs
Donut House Coffee Decaf, Extra Bold – Light Roast, 24-Count K-Cup Portion Packs
Donut House Collection Light Roast Coffee, 24-Count K-Cup Portion Packs

If you do your K-Cup Portion Pack Shopping at Green Mountain Coffee use this code:

AM0014-3602.

This code will give you 15% off the entire store at GreenMountainCoffee.com and free standard shipping (no minimum purchase), and is valid from 8.15.11 – 9.25.11. This discount cannot be combined with any other offer, including Café EXPRESS discounts.

So….Here is the question?

If you could drink a donut what would your flavor be?

Ten Brew Over Ice K-Cup Portion Pack Treats #YourPerfectCup

July 30, 2011 By Momstart 9 Comments

The temperature is up, it’s hot hot hot around here and everywhere else is even hotter. So the thought of hot coffee is probably not very appealing for now. But don’t let that affect your indulgences. Just have it over ice.

1. Celestial Seasonings Half and Half Black Tea and Lemonade – This one is our favorite summer flavor the combination is a perfect sweetness.

2. Green Mountain Coffee French Vanilla Iced Coffee – I’m a big fan of French Vanilla, I love to add French Vanilla creamer to this one

3. Green Mountain Nantucket Blend Iced Coffee – I like to pair this coffee with Peppermint Mocha Creamer.

4. Celestial Seasonings Sweet Peach Iced Tea – I’ve been a long time fan of Peach tea and this one is no exception

5. Celestial Seasonings Southern Sweet Perfect Iced Tea – I’m from Texas and most people don’t consider Texas to be part of the south, but I must admit I’m a southern girl at heart and love southern sweet tea.

6. Celestial Seasonings Sweet Raspberry Iced Tea – The sweet Raspberry tea is perfect the way it is. No creamer needed

Flavors I haven’t tried yet but really want to

7. Celestial Seasonings Unsweetened Black Tea

8. Celestial Seasonings Berry lime Tea

9. Celestial Seasonings Tropical Breeze Tea

10. Celestial Seasonings Sweet Lemon Tea

I’m a Keurig Green Mountain K-Cup Portion Pack Ambassador and receive a monthly sample of free coffee. We’ve been using the Keuirg coffee machine for 5 years.

Making Hot Apple Cider with a Keurig Coffee Brewer

December 15, 2010 By Momstart 1,099 Comments

My husband and I have been using and loving the Keurig Coffee Brewer for about 4 years now, which I think is about when they came out. My husband loves gadgets and we used to waste a ton of coffee. A TON! We originally purchased the Keurig coffee brewer when I was pregnant with Zoe, I certainly wasn’t going to get up and make my husband a cup of coffee being as big and uncomfortable as I was.

We make coffee all day long and it’s fresh and that’s what I love about Keurig. We can make a cup of pretty much anything when we are ready for it. We don’t have to drink the same flavor or at the same time. We also love to give Keurig Coffee Brewers away as Christmas presents. Last year we gave one away to my sister in law.

I love holiday beverages, and the kids just adore hot cocoa and Hot Apple Cider. After a long wait, Keurig and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters have debuted Apple Cider K-Cups, which will provide you with a a warm, comforting mug of cider with a hint of brown sugar and just a touch of cinnamon. The Apple Cider K-cups are delicious. I think they got the recipe just right, sometimes I find Apple Cider to be too much on the sour side. The Hot Apple Cider K-cups do have just the right amount of brown sugar keeping me from making a sour face as I drink it.
