We recently dug through our K-Cup stash and decided to revisit some Pumpkin Spice K-Cups we had left-over from a previous season, so we figured why not review another seasonal K-Cup which has been hiding in our ever-growing repertoire? This time around, it’s Timothy’s Winter Carnival K-Cups which grabbed our attention. We purchased these K-Cups [...]

Senseo was kind enough to send over a sample bag of their new 10% Kona Coffee Blend coffee pods to review, and we’re glad they did. We’ve been anticipating how good these coffee pods would and could be, and are pleased to say up front – pretty darn good (think Larry David saying that). Kona [...]
