The Keurig brand has had a great reputation and it’s growing every day. Because of that, I’ve wanted one for the last few years because I’ve heard many great things about the brewer and to be honest, I’m really the only person that drinks “coffee maker” coffee since my husband is an instant coffee drinker, yuk, I know.  So,  whenever I made coffee in the coffee maker, I had to throw the rest  away because I only wanted one cup.

So, when I found out that www.Shoffee.com will be giving me one to try out, I was truly excited and so glad. Joe from www.Shoffee.com sent me the Elite brewer with a cute travel mug (that hubby takes to work everyday) and a huge amount of k-cups; different brands & flavors of coffee, tea and hot chocolate. I was shocked and grateful to receive all of this:

My opinion on the Keurig Elite Brewer:

I love it!  I can’t stop talking about it and I drink a cup or two everyday. The absolute best thing about it is that there is no more wasted coffee and it’s so easy.  All I have to do is pour water in the side container, press the power button and wait a few minutes. After the water is heated, there are 2 indicator lights (small mug – 7.25 ounces and large mug – 9.25 ounces) that blinks telling me that it’s ready.  Once the unit is heated, you can have hot, fresh coffee (or tea/hot chocolate) in a matter of seconds.  Just like that!

I loved all the varieties of coffee that were sent to me but my favorite is the Pumpkin Spice by Green Mountain Coffee and Timothy’s Decaf Colombian coffee.   The pumpkin spice reminds me of the holidays and it’s smells and tastes really good, kind of like a pumpkin pie.  The decaf, believe or not, tastes like regular Colombian coffee.  I can’t drink too much caffeine because of my nasty little thyroid but I do drink it occasionally.

OK, now onto the best part, THE PRIZE .  Here is what one lucky reader will win: Read the rest of this entry →

When I heard about this study, I became really ecstatic because I love coffee. I could drink coffee several times a day. It gives me the extra needed boost I need through out the day and it tastes really good.  A little sugar & cinnamon makes it extra special for me.

There’s about 20 studies out now that coffee, both regular and decaffeinated, lower the risk for Type-2 Diabetes.

Other studies show that coffee may also lower the risk of Cancer, Liver Cirrhosis & Parkinson’s Disease.

So, if you’re a coffee drinker and feel like you should be limiting your coffee intake, remember these facts and savor and enjoy your java.

I have been on a Starbucks strike for almost 4 months.. I know some of you are like what??? Lisa is on a Starbucks strike?? That can’t be! I know, I love coffee, Starbucks and everything about coffee but you’ll understand why after you read my post. 

Anyway, one of the reasons why I’m on a strike with Starbucks is because I love the coffee my Senseo machine makes.  It’s so good, I don’t need to go to Starbucks anymore.  The Senseo is my new Starbucks at home. You can get so many different types of coffee, it’s great.

*Could it be that the new baristas are not trained well enough? 
*Could it be that they don’t know how to make coffee? 
*Could it be that they need a bit more training?

Am I wrong to feel this way?  Do I need some type of Starbucks therapy? If you’ve had a bad experience with a coffee shop, let me know! I would love to hear about it!

Stay tuned!
