|---|
When we opened our front door on Saturday morning to run some errands, we discovered the package from Keurig had arrived. Excitedly (1, it was a coffee delivery and 2, it was a FREE coffee delivery), I tore into the box and discovered 4 varieties of Keurig K-cups nestled inside.
If you haven't been keeping up, the Internet Marketing Manager from Keurig spotted my excited LJ review of my new Keurig coffee brewer a couple weeks ago, and contacted me to offer a selection of my choice of free K-Cups (the individual coffee pods you select from when making coffee with the Keurig machine) for having given such a glowing review.
Of course I agreed, and thus the box of Keurig K-Cups on my doorstep.
Anyway, I'd mentioned ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) evilbutcute's Blueberry coffee suggestion, and asked the wonderfully nice lady from Keurig to pick the other varieties out of the more "unique" coffee flavors Keurig offers. I'm sure this was not that easy, because Keurig offers 190+ varieties of K-Cups to choose from.
The varieties she ended up sending were:
- Wild Mountain Blueberry
- Southern Pecan
- Cinnamon Pastry
- Butter Toffee
Surprisingly, these were the 25-cup packages, instead of the 18-cup boxes we'd seen at the store, so... yeah... 100 free servings of coffee...
Of course, even though I'd already had a yummy cup of coffee that morning, and even though we were sort of rushing out the door, I took a moment to prep the Keurig machine (this happens when you turn the unit on, and it takes less than a minute), pop my travel cup under the brewing spout, and brew myself a cup of Wild Mountain Blueberry. Adam chose Southern Pecan, and then, quickly shutting off the machine, we dashed out of the house.
The coffee was delicious. I am very impressed by the blueberry flavored variety, as I wouldn't have thought of it at all if I were left to create coffee flavors, but it is awesome. It smells heavenly too. Adam's Pecan coffee smelled wonderfully nutty, though I passed on tasting it at the time - I was too busy enjoying my blueberry stuff!
We ran into some friends in the courtyard of our complex, and the first thing one of them said was that our coffee smelled soooo good. We raved again about our Keurig machine and invited them over for coffee (at a later time, of course) so they could try it out.
One of the errands we had to run was to return to Bed Bath and Beyond to add some items to our Bridal Registry because we'd thought of some additional things we'd like to ask for. While there, I told the manager of our experiences with Keurig, including the contact from them and the free K-Cups, and he was very impressed. Later, while waiting to speak with another associate, another set of customers walked by and mistook us for BB&B employees, because they'd overheard my Keurig story and found it very helpful in deciding which coffee maker to buy. Glancing over, I saw they had the same Keurig machine in their cart as the one we'd received as a gift. I know they're gonna love it as much as I do.
Well, in addition to a ton of other stuff, Adam and I have added to our registry the reusable K-Cup filter that allows you to use the Keurig machine to brew any type of coffee (thus I'll still be able to have my Cafe Du Monde yumminess), and a K-Cup carousel which will allow us to display on an attractive wire rack the different varieties we have to choose from. Yay!
Upon arriving home, I made myself a tasty cup of Cinnamon Pastry coffee. The scent was heavenly, and it tasted oh so lovely. This morning I'm having a cup of Butter Toffee. I made some chocolate chip cookies last night and have been dipping them in the coffee between sips. Mmmm. Coffee love!
Honestly, I don't think I'll meet a Keurig coffee I wont like. What's not to love?!
Thanks, Keurig, for giving me a reason to look forward to my mornings! |
