Treat Dad to SingleJo Coffee and Come Join the #HavaJava Twitter Party

June 10, 2014 by Kathryn 43 Comments

It’s no secret that I absolutely love coffee and because I’m the only one in the house that drinks it, I also love my Keurig machine. Making the exact amount of coffee I want a cup at a time means that I always get a drink that’s fresh and delicious, whether I’m having my first early morning drink or a mid-afternoon pick-me-up. I choose my coffee with a lot of care and so I want the brew I drink to be tailored specifically to me.

That’s why I’ve fallen in love with SingleJo. This Canadian coffee company makes discovering new coffee blends easy by providing a convenient and personalized online shopping experience. Choose from delicious coffees from around the globe and for every 12-cup box you purchase, you’ll also receive one individual sample pack so that you can discover new brands to love too! And if you’re just not sure which variety to try first, take the SingleJo quiz to discover your coffee profile and get suggestions about your perfect coffee! [Read more…]

Mornings are Better with Folgers Gourmet Selections Mocha Swirl Coffee-Giveaway

December 19, 2013 by Kathryn 364 Comments

There is nothing that I love more than a cup of coffee in the morning, and since I got my Keurig machine last year I’ve been trying so many different varieties that I wasn’t aware of. A few months ago I discovered Folgers Gourmet Selections Vanilla Biscotti K-cups and with the first sip, I knew I had found my new favourite coffee. That is until I got the chance to try the new Folgers Gourmet Selections Mocha Swirl – I didn’t think any other flavour would compare, but boy was I wrong.

Folgers Gourmet Selections K-cups are available in a variety of tempting flavours including Vanilla Biscotti, Caramel Drizzle, Black Silk, Lively Colombian Regular or Decaf, Morning Café, Classic Roast and the new Mocha Swirl. I have to admit, Mocha Swirl wouldn’t have been a variety I necessarily would have chosen myself, but I was pleasantly surprised when I brewed up a cup! The chocolate flavour is rich but not overpowering and blends with the coffee so nicely. With a little cream and my favourite sweetener, it’s like dessert in the morning!

Coffee Creates Less Waste with Canterbury Coffee OneCoffee Single-Serve Cups-Giveaway

August 27, 2013 by Kathryn 135 Comments

I absolutely adore good coffee and since I’m the only one in the house that drinks it, I’ve started to use my Keurig almost exclusively for preparing coffee each day. I love being able to make as much or as little coffee as I want and the fact that each cup of coffee I drink is always fresh and perfect is a huge plus too.

But all those little K-Cups do create a lot of added waste and so when I heard about the new OneCoffee cups from Canterbury Coffee, I was intrigued. Not only does the company produce Keurig-compatible single-serve cups in a variety of organic, fair-trade coffees including Breakfast Blend, French Roast, Decaf Dark, Columbian, Peruvian, Sumatran, Ethiopian and a Variety Pack, each of the pods contains 40% less plastic than traditional K-cups and is 90% biodegradable! The concept sounded amazing and I couldn’t wait to see what OneCoffee was like.

Brew Up Your Favourite Beverage Any Time with a Keurig Brewing System from Staples

May 13, 2013 by Kathryn 4 Comments

I love coffee but since I’m the only one in the house that drinks it, I often find myself miscalculating how much I want and then wasting coffee as a result when I make a pot. I have a specialty coffee maker that’s great for creating individual lattes and cappuccinos, but what I really wanted was a way to make a single cup of good coffee so I could have one when I wanted without wasting.

Recently, Staples Canada came to my rescue by giving me the chance to review the Keurig Elite Single Serve Brewing System. This single-serve coffee maker brews a variety of tasty beverages ranging from coffee to tea to hot chocolate. I was excited to see how it compared to my other machines and I had it filled and ready to use within an hour of receiving it.
