Caramel Vanilla Nut

Now that reads like an enticing coffee flavor; one you can imagine having just as interesting a taste, too. Today’s flavor is yet another blend by Timothy’s. This coffee reminds me of the rich flavors found inside a chocolate cherry cordial eaten on a warm summer day.

Of course with no cherry or chocolate mentioned in the name, you can imagine the surprise I received with my first taste … and it still tastes the same even after a few more cups as this is another specialty flavor I like to keep in our K-Cup carousel.

German Chocolate Cake

Yes, it is a coffee! This is one of those truly unique and pleasant surprises when tasting specialty coffees. Imagine if you will, the rich flavor of dark chocolate cake iced with caramel-coconut frosting … now imagine drinking that. There you have Timothy’s German Chocolate Cake coffee for the Keurig Brewing System … and my cup of coffee this morning. Although today is not the first time I have enjoyed this delightful brew it is definitely a good day to share it.

Enjoy!

Cinnamon Pastry

Hmmm … just like drinking a lightly-glazed cinnamon roll.

That was my very first thought when I tried the Cinnamon Pastry blend of coffee from Timothy’s for a Keurig single-serve brewer. This is one of my favorite flavors and my recommendation for today. This is especially nice on any morning when you simply want to savor a sweet pastry but are not awake enough to do more than make yourself a coffee.

Enjoy!

Sugar Bush Maple

Today’s coffee flavor … and the first post in a new category on the web site.

In October we purchased a Cuisinart Brewing System and have been very  happy with it; although, every so often it does not brew the drink the first time through its cycle?!

Now, back to the coffee … Sugar Bush Maple! As you would expect the coffee has a maple flavor to it, but let’s not stop there. Imagine, if you will, a mild sweetness reminiscent of brown-sugar based home-made “maple” fudge and now you are enjoying the taste sensation of this “new” blend of coffee from Timothy’s.

Coffee, Tea, or Keurig

I enjoy a good cup of coffee as much as I enjoy a good cup of tea. I also appreciate convenience and quality, too. You may be asking yourself why am I writing this? In a word: Keurig.

What is Keurig?

CHOOSE. BREW. ENJOY.®
It’s how we see the world. It’s how we work. It’s how we relax. It’s how we wake up. It’s how we power down. Welcome to Keurig. For coffee, tea, hot cocoa and iced beverages, the world has discovered Keurig and it’s how you brew. With over 200 varieties to choose from, it’s always easy to find the right one-for you.
from the Keurig.com website

My wife recently put in a great deal of time, energy, and extra hours at her work to help with one of their charity drives. One particular event this time was tea and coffee service brought to everyone’s desk. They used a Tassimo machine to brew the coffee and teas they served. As she was telling me about her day we started talking about the various “coffee machines” that use this “cup” system. That was about a week and a half ago.

After some online research and some personal opinions we started to seriously look at the Keurig brewers. The brewer and K-Cups are competitively priced but the true deciding factor was simply the abundant brands (read: choice of flavors) that support the system.

Friday night we went shopping. It had been a long week and a little retail therapy was in order. We decided on the Cuisinart Brewing System and as fate would have it our old drip coffee maker needed to be replaced after its six years of nearly daily use. The warming element had just recently became exposed, which I only noticed as I was cleaning it for storage. The timing was just right.

Now, it’s time for my morning coffee but I have a serious dilemma: what flavor do I brew next?

Manna From Heaven

My version, at least tonight, is a Filthy Chai Latte Grande no-water from Starbucks … what’s yours?

It’s really a rather simple drink, although it has taken a few explanations:

  1. You start with a Chai Latte … Grande;
  2. Add two shots (one shot is only Dirty) of espresso;
  3. and, no-water makes it just that much richer and flavorful.

That would be it. Try it yourself sometime … and enjoy both a tea and a coffee at the same time!
