Eventually, the novelty of my new coffee pot will wear off and I'll blog more about other things! Tomorrow I will be working at a coffee shop (probably Starbucks) and will very likely blog about that!! For now, though, the variety of k-cups are the freshest thing on my mind and I can't help trying 1-3 new kinds each day, though I am running out of new things that I haven't tried while I wait for a shipment to arrive!! I have 3 new varieties (and some new blends) that I have tried since the last post.
Gloria Jean Hazelnut flavored coffee. This was quite delicious. I tried it on the 8 ounce setting and it was perfect. I later tried it on the 6 ounce setting mixed with the Van Houtte French Vanilla discussed previously also on the 6 ounce setting. This combination was yummy, a little bolder, but not as strongly flavorful as I would have liked. If you tasted it, you would not immediately know that it was hazelnut and vanilla.
Caribou Coffees Caribou Blend. I found this one to be quite delicious. Not too bold, not too weak. It did not taste at all watered down on the 8 ounce setting. It had a good flavor. I think this was a good everyday coffee.
Donut People Donut Shop Coffee. This was weaker than some of the other varieties that I've tried, but did not taste watered down on the 8 ounce setting. It was, like the Caribou Blend, a good everyday coffee. Unlike the Caribou Blend, which had some distinct flavors, I found this coffee to be generic.
I also tried brewing the hot cocoa (discussed previously) on the 6 ounce setting and then adding to it the butter toffee (also discussed previously) on the 6 ounce setting (though there was not enough room in the cup for all 6 ounces of the coffee). I added a touch of sugar, but I don't think I really needed it. It was AMAZING. It tasted like a caramel or toffee mocha. It had a phenomenal chocolate and buttery toffee taste. I loved it. I plan to try it with a bigger cup to get more of the butter toffee coffee in the cup, rather than wasting some!
