Up In Smoke

QuoteI haven't tried many decaf flavors but....  I mainly drink Green Mountain Dark Magic - both the regular & the decaf ----- and can't tell the difference between the two.
I have tried the Newmans own bold but it was a little too much for me.....so i mixed some hot chocolate in it.
WOW! talk about a cup of giddyup.

Some people are like Slinkies... They're really good for nothing.
...But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

I love the Green Mountain French Roast.  I have the older Keurig model in my cube at work and have always got a few dirty looks because of all the noise the pump makes.  Sounds like that one needs to come home and a new one for the office is in order.
I still have a lot of flavors to try, i kinda like the black breakfast tea too.

Really ;D ;D ;D ;D   how many gallons of water have you run through your Keurig ;D
15 gallons of water so far!
i have 2 more to go before i fill all the jugs again.
don't ask why but i am keeping track.

Well since that post we have switched to a Keurig special edition and have gone through 15 boxes of k-cups. I like the dark roasts Emerils bam and big easy bold, kona and allot of the green mtn.

Ok we joined the Keurig wagon.

I have the Platinum that allows you to make 12 oz cups. That size if good for brewing the bold, extra bold and dark roast varieties of k-cups; such as Newman's. I have a bunch of Green Mountain Dark Magic decaf that I haven't tried yet. I'll try a cup this morning. The reason I have so much is I don't drink decaf, and I keep getting them in the variety packs that I receive as gifts.

I mainly like the flavored coffees, and like to experiment with the new flavors as they are released. I just received the winter blend and French toast made by Green Mt. If you haven't checked out the milk chocolate by Cafe Escapes, you need to try it. It is a little more costly, but it is well worth it. It makes Green Mt. hot cocoa tastes like mud water.



     I
         don't
                   inhale.

I'm going to make a cup of the decaf now and let you know how it is. I may take a picture of my coffee station and post that later.

Like my coffee I like my chocolate dark.  I like the dark hot chocolate by Cafe Escapes.

I brew my Dark Magic on the 5 or 7 oz setting (usually 7)

UIS,

Do you have a Costco nearby?  Right now (and I hope they have for along time) I am buying directly from Keurig.  Costco has $100 of Keurig gift certificates for $79.99.  At the Keurig website I get a 15% discount (it's a club thing that you automatically get enrolled in & it doesn't take much to get to the 15% off level, plus you earn points towards a big discount off the platinum brewer) So right now the cost is averaging about 9.50 for the 24 packs using the gift certicates that I buy from Costco.  Plus, they have free shipping if you buy over a certain amount which I think is about 4 boxes. 

The other thing I like about Keurig is that they have boxes of 5, so you can buy a small quantity of something to try.  If you buy 4 boxes of 24 you get a free 5 pack also.

Costco also have big boxes of green mountain.  Not sure of the cost or what flavor - but do know it's not Dark Magic.....
