They were on sale



A few months ago, through a client we acquired a Keurig single cup coffee brewer. Yes, yes I know bougie as all get out but it was free, mainly because the little holder for the K cups was missing (someone probably threw it out by mistake) and the person had just went ahead and bought a whole new unit instead of waiting around for that small little piece. SO we got a come up, "Go team Venture" we of course ONLY having to buy that little piece didn't have that much outline (it was like under 10 bucks) and as we are all coffee drinkers have been enjoying various K cup coffees(or making bleh faces, cause not all are winners) ever since. Now yes, I know if you have known me for any amount of time you will now that I USED to say "I HATE COFFEE," Hot Chocolate, sure. Tea, definitely wanna add a color to it:Black, green, white, red well lets gone ahead and party. But coffee nah, not over here pahtnah.

Then the Ex Spouse started working at a satellite of a big chain coffee shop inside a nice sized chain big box establishment, granted she wasn't the ex at the time so of course I tried to find something said chain sold, which I did find. A mocha latte with a few shots, a couple of pumps here and there and viola, a daily morning favorite is born. Of course just because I have a favorite doesn't mean I can always get to it. I for all intents and purposes work out of my car/vehicle, Always moving around but not always moving towards my morning caffeine. Which can leave my less than cheery morning demeanor to be down right ogreish(and anyone who impugns my character to say I am always ogreish can get stuffed), which is why the K cups can come in handy. Now I have found a few that I like:


  1. Hot Apple Cider
  2. Chai Latte
  3. Caramel Latte
  4. Caramel Cappucino
  5. Hot chocolate
Which of course lead me to todays adventure, I was out getting some almond milk(unsweetened, vanilla) for the house when I noticed that the local Kroger was having a sale on SOME of their K-cups. and while I was looking around I saw this on sale
Gevalia K cup
Now of course this wasn't the ONLY type of K cup on sale in fact most of their varieties were but this one looked like it was right up my alley so I decided to purchase it. I am of course a K cup newbie so I haven't done ANY 2 step cups before this one but hey in for a penny in for a pound right. Now some might ask: If you drink a lot of coffee why would you get the small box? Because while it was on sale which of course allows for me to try it out without spending full price which to me is always the way to go, I mean free is always better just in case it is nasty or you don't like it but reduced price is also a good option. So anyway I read the instructions you pour you packed of powder(which becomes FROTH) into your cup, place the k cup into the holder and brew away. I wasn't sure how it was gonna turn out but hey, fortune favors the brave or some such jazz right so I picked it up and decided to try a cuppa even though it is late but A) coffee doesn't work on me long maybe an hour or so in which time of course I will already be gaming and B) if it was nasty I wouldn't be finishing the cup anyway.

I had to find a cup of course, and since I wanted to see what it looked like through the process I picked a clear glass one(which I will show in a picture later), checked the water level in the Keurig, and got everything set up. Now for my adventure into Gevalia
