One-Year Anniversary

Today is the one-year anniversary of KCupBarista.com! It sure has been fun. Through this blog and KCupTrade.com, I’ve gotten to know and hear from so many great Keurig fans. It’s been a special time.
My goal was to try at least 100 K-Cups this year–I just did a count, and I’m …

The K-Cup Diaries

This post has been a long time in the making. If you’re like me, you sometimes just want to know “Is it good?”–not read a full-on review. So I decided to share my notes with you. Most of these are cups I haven’t reviewed yet, but a few have links …

Tree Hugger by Coffee People

What can I say about Tree Hugger? I was a little disappointed at first, but I’ve grown to enjoy it. Here are some of its good qualities: very smooth, chocolaty aftertaste, and good flavor at either 8oz or 10oz. I think I cracked the code on getting it just right …

The Tale of a Misunderstood K-Cup: Timothy’s San Lorenzo

This is a tale of a very misunderstood K-Cup known as Timothy’s San Lorenzo. Here’s a description from the Keurig site: This coffee, roasted in a very dark, tangy Parisian fashion, has an assertive flavor and is silky smooth. 
The trouble is that San Lorenzo is described as a dark roast but …

Tully’s Breakfast Blend

Sometimes I’ll realize that I haven’t taken any notes on a familiar K-Cup. This happened today. No picture, no notes for Tully’s Breakfast Blend. “This should not be,” I told myself.
While at first it does not impress, the longer I sip away at a cup of Tully’s Breakfast Blend, the …

Celestial Seasonings Sweet Raspberry Iced Tea vs. Half & Half Black Tea Lemonade

Is it the season for iced tea yet? For the last month, I’ve been brewing over ice again. I love how easy it is. The three Brew Over Ice teas I’ve tried  are Raspberry, Half and Half, and Southern Sweet. Since I’ve already reviewed the Southern Sweet, let’s have a …

Wolfgang Puck Hawaiian Hazelnut

I decided to brew this one at 6oz. I’ve been doing that more with flavored light roasts, and I’m usually glad I did. This way I can taste the flavor more.
I loved the hazelnut smell and the taste comes through quite well. It doesn’t have any unpleasant aftertaste either: very …

Van Houtte Midnight Express

This K-Cup is the closest match to Green Mountain Dark Magic I have tried. It leaves a little more tingle on the palate than Dark Magic, though, and has a lingering finish.
Midnight Express is very rich and somewhat sweet like DM …
