My Morning Pick Me Up!

Hello, my name is Lara and I am addicted to coffee. It's true. I start my day...every day... with a hot cup of coffee. And it's not just that I need it for the added caffeine boost, I actually genuinely enjoy the taste. I even drink my coffee black, so you know I'm a true coffee lover!

My parents recently got a Keurig coffee maker and I am dying to add one to my kitchen. It's the fastest and easiest machine to operate. They had a variety box of all different types of coffee, tea, and even hot chocolate! So I browsed through and found a french vanilla brew and simply popped it in the machine. In about a minute I was sipping perfectly brewed, piping hot, yummy yummy yummy coffee!

I was really impressed with the Keurig and the fact that you can make a variety of things. I even found hot apple cider K-cups! I wish they had some more flavors... I can't find a pumpkin spice blend anywhere... but they do have a nice selection from a variety of companies. And did you know Dunkin Donuts now makes K-cups?? They are my all time favorite!

And I love the single cup servings. I throw out a lot of cold coffee because I make a couple cups and get busy and never finish the pot. With a Keurig I could make them as I want them. And the clean up is easy because all you have to wash is your cup!

The machine my parents have is pretty sophisticated. It looks like you can set timers and stuff. I didn't explore too much since I was not going to be blamed for breaking their coffee machine! That would not be good. But I am looking forward to using it a lot more when I visit... and perhaps getting one of my own.

Do you have a Keurig? Do you like it? What's your favorite K-cup?

I"ve had my Keurig for about 3 years now! I got it right before it became really popular and I love it! I only drink Nantucket Blend and I am on the autoship program through Cafe Express :)Since I bought mine, my mother, mother-in-law, sister and sister-in-law have each bought one and they love theirs too!

I've heard good things about this one!

I have too! My first experience was a good one... but I wonder how it is long term.
