Gloria Jeans Cappuccino Kcup Review..

Gloria Jeans coffee just rocks ! Every time I would go to the mall where I used to live, I would always love to go into the Gloria Jeans store. Great coffee. Great atmosphere. Such quality products, but not stuck up like Starbucks. Well now that I have the Keurig, I have tried some of the kcups. And so far I love them all. Newest one being the cappuccino. The cappuccino is so good. It is a light/medium roast. No bitterness or aftertaste. Always my favorite. Lightly sweetened, but not really that much that you would say it's a sweet coffee. Just perfectly balance. I even make it with some whipped milk ( I use a milk frother with half and half and there you go whipped frothy milk) So it makes it like it really is a cappuccino :) I just love it for everyday. Or at night if I want something special. I give it 4 coffee cups out of 5. Can't think of anything bad about it ! So definitely give it a try .. .Questions of the day ... How was your weekend ? Any new blends are you drinking

Lactose free coffee creamer

http://www.lacremeyogurt.com/all-creamers.aspx I saw this on a commercial on T.V . I was definitely interested to try this since it's lactose free, and sometime's too much milk bothers my stomach. I usually use soy milk ( not in coffee) but still I try and limit how much milk. So I am dying to try this. If anyone has given it a whirl let the coffee diva know.. I'd love to hear some reviews...

Gevalia Espresso Roast Blend Review

Hello and here's to a special coffee weekend review ! Today's review is of Gevalia's Espresso Roast blend. Now I am partial to my Italian lover Lavazza espresso. That I love and reviewed it on my blog. But I did have this in my pantry, and it was next up to open. So here goes... I had gotten a special 3 boxes of Gevalia coffee for like $3.00 . It was a promotion, and I said you know I want to see what Gevalia is all about. I had heard of it before. The first box, I forgot what it was I think Creme' brulee decaf, ,and I love it. It was great for at night, or when you can't or don't want caffeine. The second box I opened was Vanilla Nut. Which I absolutely hated. Just for me at least. Mom and hubby liked it . Now I just finished my Italian espresso the other day so I decided to open my last box of Gevalia which was the Espresso Roast. It was friggin amazing !!! I even bought a little battery operated milk frother to make the rich creamy milk so I could do cappucci

Happy Friday coffee lovers ! I hope your week was as productive as mine. Today was very beautiful here in NY. It felt like spring. Just nice fresh air. Today I took the time to paint a few walls in my living room. Ultra white. To go against a red accent wall I have across from it. My colors in my living room are gray/white/black/ red. All complimenting each other. So literally from 1:30 until 4:30 I have been painting. I took a break now ( dizzy from the fumes lol) to rest. What are your plans for this weekend? Hitting up any new coffee shops? I have shopping, nails, cleaning, working, etc. Well all this week I have been off the caffeine ( hormones). And the two decaf coffee's I usually drink , just weren't cutting it this week. I miss the taste of regular coffee. The decaf just tastes horrible to me. The only decaf I truly liked was the Timothy's decaf Columbian kcup. Are you like me and certain" times of the month" you are supposed to lay off the caffeine ? But
