Gevalia Coffee has released revolutionary two-step single-serve café-style coffee beverages – made from real milk – to empower coffee lovers to enjoy a Cappuccino, Caramel Macchiato or Mocha Latte from their Keurig K-Cup brewers at home.

I’ve got some boxes on the way to me and they are sending me some to use as a giveaway as well.

Keurig owners, and I know there are a lot of you, who enjoy authentic café-style beverages made from real milk can conveniently prepare them in their own homes with an existing Keurig K-Cup brewer; no special espresso machine or coffee shop needed.

This is going to get me addicted to my Keurig machine again because I really do love milk coffee drinks. Love Love Love them!!!!

In two easy steps, coffee drinkers become their own baristas by simply pouring the froth packet, made from real milk, into a mug. Then, brew the rich, never bitter Gevalia Espresso Roast single-serve cup in a Keurig K-Cup brewer, stir and enjoy!

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.

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:

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
