More k-cup flavors

Because the Keurig is new to me, I will devote several blog posts to all the new flavors that I try for the first time!! I had already posted on the Coffee House Chocolate Glazed Donut, which I had said fell in the category of wishing the flavor was stronger. This morning I tried another flavored coffee in this same collection. It is the Coffee House Cinnamon Roll flavor. This was surprisingly strong in the cinnamon-bun like flavor. It surprised me immediately. I absolutely love this one, it is probably my new favorite!!

The other new k-cup that I tried today was the Tully's Extra Bold Kona Blend which is labeled extra bold, but is a medium roast (on the scale of light roast to dark roast). As you may have noticed from earlier posts, I use cream and sugar in my coffee as a regular practice, unless I am having a cappuccino or latte. I used the same amount of sugar that I would normally use for an 8 ounce cup, but may have accidentally used slightly more cream. I brewed it into a cup that normally holds about a cup and a half (I got it on sale at Starbucks and it is one of my favorites). The cup has a leaf design inside the cup and I usually pour my coffee to the bottom of the leaf and my cream to the top of the leaf. Because the 8 ounce portion does not come all the way up to the bottom of the leaf, I have to guess by the color if I have put in enough cream. So, because this coffee is darker than the lighter roasts I typically drink, I may have put in more cream. I loved this coffee as well. Even though it was "extra bold" and medium roast, and therefore stronger than my usual coffee, it was not in any way bitter. It had a great flavor that I could tell was stronger, but tasted amazing. I haven't had that many strong coffees that I like so this was also a pleasant surprise.

As you might have noticed, I make sure to name the brand of the items I'm posting about. I do this primarily so that there is no confusion. Lots of companies probably make a "breakfast blend" or "French roast" k-cup and I may love one and hate another and I want to make sure it is clear which one I'm talking about. Also, all the k-cups I've talked about so far are affiliated with Green Mountain Coffee. In the very near future, look forward to a blog post about my experience ordering directly from the Green Mountain Coffee website.
