Maxwell House "House Blend" K-Cup Review

-





Good afternoon. It is finally a warm sunny day here in N.Y.C. I have so many reviews and posts to catch up on since I have been so busy working. But I have a great review for you today. It is Maxwell House's House blend kcup. Now I will be honest since we are all such good friends. I really did not expect Maxwell House K-Cups to be good. Their regular ground coffee in the can is mediocre at best. So I was expecting the K-Cup to be watered down or taste weird. But I was wrong. Which I am so many times in life ;) The coffee was a very nice medium blend. It tastes strong in the sense that there is no watering down of this K-Cup. The coffee is fresh. 100% Arabica. No after taste. No gritty taste. No flavor. Just plain old good drink till the last drop coffee.
I had one cup yesterday and was so excited to have another today. I even told my mom about them. What made me even more happy was that my local Key Food grocery store had them in stock. A few years back when I first got my Keurig, I could only find K-Cups at Bed Bath and Beyond or my local Kmart actually. But then little by little ( I guess since Keurig is so damn popular and it's literally taking over the world) my grocery store starting adding a whole line. When I went in the other day I saw Gevalia and Maxwell House. My husband being the sweetheart that he is, saw my emotion and right away dropped them in our cart and got them for me:) ( love you babe). And the rest is history.

I really would urge you to try the Maxwell House House blend. Even if you didn't like their coffee in the tub or can, I think this will convert you to the brand. This is the same thing that happened to me with the Folger's K-Cups. I always hated Folgers regular coffee. But the gourmet line and the K-Cups I LOVE. So I'd give it 4 coffee cups out of 5. The box sells for $7.99 for only 12. That's the only downside. But once in a while I will pick one up at the grocery store on impulse. Usually I buy on Bed Bath and Beyond because they have coupons and free shipping.






Has anyone ever tried these yet ? Do you agree with me or think they stink ???

    Those K-cups I've had before and they're pretty good. I usually can find them for cheap on CoffeForLess's website.

Cafe' Bustelo Review

Well this wasn't my first time trying Cafe' Bustelo. I read online it was the number one cuban coffee in America. All people drink it not juts spanish. But I know the spanish people rave about it. I have yet to meet a spanish person that doesn't have a brick of Bustelo in their cabinet. LOL. So I wanted to try it really bad. Well the first time my father in law made me the instant version in a regular drip coffee maker. YUCK. It was so bad couldn't even drink it. . Second time was last week. I got the regular vacum packed version. It was supposed to be the "espresso blend". I made it the authentic way with the stove top moka pot. I thought it would be good. It had a nice fine consistency so I was thinking great. This will be perfect for espresso. I really wanted to love it... But once again I was let down. It had a really bitter taste during and after drinking. Honestly , I didn't even finish it. Which the worst thing I hate doing is wasting anything in li...

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...
