Sip Into Fall with Green Mountain Pumpkin Spice Coffee!

October 13, 2012 by Momstart 13 Comments

One of my favorite flavors in the Green Mountain Coffee selection is also one of their most popular seasonal flavors – Pumpkin Spice. I received a box from them because they wanted to review it. I already knew I liked it because I just purchased a package at the grocery store before they sent it to me. I LOVE it, plus Target was having a sale, if you buy two boxes then you get a $5.00 Target gift card. WOOT. You can also purchase it on-line at GreenMountainCoffee.com.

Pumpkin Spice offers a seasonal experience of fresh-baked pumpkin pie with the traditional flavors of cinnamon and nutmeg baked in. It’s available in both bags and K-Cup Packs. I love using my Keurig, but I think I love this coffee enough to have a whole pot a day so knowing it also comes in bags is getting me ready to make an on-line order at Green Mountain Coffee. This really is one of my favorite flavors and I just found a 50 count box on Amazon.com so I’m super excited now!! Time to STOCK UP!.

We received samples to taste and to give to charity. I’m a Green Mountain Coffee Blog Ambassador.

Green Mountain Naturals and New Keurig K-Cup Pack Flavors #YourPerfectCup Coupon Code

September 15, 2012 by Momstart 4 Comments

This month in my coffee delivery from Green Mountain everything I received was part of the Green Mountain Naturals. I received the Hot Apple Cider which is already a family favorite. The kids love it and so does my husband. It’s a treat we’ve used two years in a row while going out to look at Christmas lights together as a family.

The Hot Apple Cider Description:

Made with real apples and a total of only five simple ingredients, Green Mountain Naturals® Hot Apple Cider contains no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives – just honest apple goodness with a hint of brown sugar and just a touch of cinnamon.

The Green Mountain Naturals^®Lemonade Description:

The first ever lemonade in a K-Cup^®pack, Green Mountain Naturals^®Lemonade combines the refreshing, sun-splashed flavor of freshly squeezed lemons with the convenience of the Keurig^® single cup brewing system. This variety also contains no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.

Both flavors are quite delicious and I see the lemonade becoming another great family favorite.

Green Mountain Wild Mountain Blueberry Coffee Smells Like Doughnuts #YourPerfectCup

August 25, 2012 by Momstart 6 Comments

Wild Mountain Blueberry™ is just one of the many coffees from Green Mountain Coffee^® and I think it smells like doughnuts. Brewing a cup of it smells much like walking into a doughnut shop and makes me imagine having a plain glazed doughnut as I’m drinking it.

It’s not a strong flavor, so it’s not my favorite. It’s good if you like a light coffee with some sweetness without adding any sugar or creamer. I like to add vanilla creamer and that ads to the flavor, I think it actually brings out the flavor of the blueberries. When Green Mountain sent me the samples to try out this month they also sent me a basket of Lemon scone mix and Lemon curd to top them with. They were very good scones and would pair well with the Wild Mountain Blueberry Coffee by Green Mountain.

Save on coffee this month with the code:

YUMMY-8150. This promo code offers 15% off all Green Mountain Coffee^® flavored coffees available in K-Cup^® packs – including Brew Over Ice. The code will be active from August 9 to September 12 on GreenMountainCoffee.com.

Green Mountain Coffee® K-Cup Portion Packs at Church #YourPerfectCup

July 17, 2012 by Momstart 10 Comments

At church we have brewed coffee on Sunday morning but during the week there is hardly ever brewed coffee available. Everyone that works there comes and goes quite frequently so the reception desk and a few other positions are the only ones that are there every day. I’ve been volunteering at the reception desk and helping the preschool leader with planning and you all know about my coffee addiction. I have a cup of coffee every time I go in there and I’m afraid of drinking all the coffee. So this month I’m taking my Green Mountain Coffee® K-Cup Portion Packs sampler pack that I received being a Green Mountain Coffee K-cup portion pack ambassador to church. Then I won’t feel so guilty about drinking all the coffee. Next I might have to start taking my own creamer in too.

At least I can take me new Keurig® travel mug with Contigo AUTOSEAL™ Technology with me so I don’t feel guilty about using the paper cups at church (I love the Contigo brand, we’ve used their cups for hot and cold drinks with the kids in the past. ). I don’t know why I feel guilty, I guess in a way I feel like I’m incorrectly using something that I didn’t pay for myself. LOL, I know I’m kind of crazy like that.

Green Mountain coffee offers over 200 varieties of specialty tea, coffee hot cocoa, iced beverages, fruit brews and more patented K-cups. It would take quite a long time to try every one they offered if you started today and only had one a day. I haven’t tried them all yet but I’m looking forward to trying to. How many have you tried and what’s your favorite?

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:

Green Mountain K-Cup Portion Pack Coffee Picks Pumpkin Included

November 6, 2011 by Momstart 5 Comments

I’m so excited that Green Mountain saw my request for a Pumpkin flavored coffee. Oh wait, I only wrote about that a month or two ago, that’s pretty arrogant to think they made this new coffee blend just for me, but let me tell you, I’m enjoying it. In fact, I’m out of what they sent me and will have to buy some more. I LOVE it. So to start off my Green Mountain K-Cup Portion Pack Coffee Pick list, Pumpkin is at the top.

Green Mountain Coffee Pumpkin Spice

Green Mountain Coffee Dark Magic, Extra Bold, Dark Roast

Green Mountain Coffee Caramel Vanilla Cream

Green Mountain Coffee Breakfast Blend

Green Mountain Coffee Nantucket Blend

Green Mountain Coffee Fair Trade Colombian Select

Green Mountain Wild Mountain Blueberry

Green Mountain Coffee French Vanilla

I also can’t wait to try out these two limited edition coffee flavors:

Green Mountain Coffee Golden French Toast

Green Mountain Coffee Fair Trade Spicy Eggnog

You may have noticed that some of the blends I mentioned above are Fair Trade blends. Fair trade provides a fair price to coffee farmers for their beans, resulting in high-quality coffee for coffee lovers, and a higher quality of life for coffee farmers and their families. Fair Trade builds economic independence for farmers by:

– Guaranteeing a fair price
– Providing affordable access to credit
– Promoting sustainable farming practices
– Providing access to consumer markets, cutting out unnecessary middlemen
– Enabling farmers to plan for the future

Learn more about the benefits of fair trade and Green Mountain Coffee’s efforts on the brand’s Facebook page. For more information about Green Mountain Coffee’s Fair Trade Certified coffees.

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?

Relaxing with Iced Tea

June 20, 2010 by Momstart 4 Comments

You all know that I can’t start my day without some form of caffeine in me and sometimes it’s just too hot for a hot drink. I am super addicted. I get head aches if I try to skip my caffeine fix. Summer time is all about iced tea, iced drinks, and cold coffee. My husband and I came up with a system to make me iced tea a few weeks ago but Keurig just made it even easier.

What we were doing:

We would grab a tea bag, steep some tea in a coffee mug, using water from the Keruig. Make some crushed ice and put it in a glass. Then after the tea has steeped add some sugar and pour over the ice. Not a bad process but we still had to wait for the tea to steep.

Now

We use the k-cups made for iced drinks. (do not use a glass cup as seen in my photos, glass can facture under this kind of heat and temperature change) Make a cup of coffee, or tea, put crushed ice in a glass cup, I added my creamer to the cup of ice. Let the coffee cool just a tad and pour over the ice. (You can brew it directly over the ice as long as you do not use glass)

Flavors that you can find iced beverages in k-cups:

French Vanilla Iced Coffee

Sweet Raspberry Black Tea

Sweet Peach Black Tea

Nantucket Blend Iced Coffee

Black Tea unsweetened

Sweet Lemon Black Tea

Southern Sweet Black Tea

Half & Half Black Tea & Lemonade

You can order any of these brew over ice flavors from Green Mountain Coffee.
