Coffee Madness: My name is Lily and I am addicted to my Keurig

My name is Lily and I am addicted to my Keurig Special Edition B60 Brewing System.  Yes, it is not cheap.  Yes, the individual K-cups are not cheap.  (Although Keurig also has a refillable K-cup - use your own coffee and save the environment!).  But I love having a variety of flavors of coffee, iced coffee, tea and iced tea at my fingertips and the ease of making only one cup at a time.  The picture below is my Keurig shrine - ahem, I mean coffee/tea bar.  In the far right corner of the picture is my Brew Over Ice tumbler - I love the Green Mountain Nantucket Blend Iced Coffee and Green Mountain's French Vanilla Iced Coffee (no extra calories!).  It's summer in Florida, so I have been drinking most of my K-cup beverages over ice! 


Picture:  My beverage station - a shrine to consumerism:




I believe the fact that I have well over 100 K-cups in my coffee bar definitely proves that I am an addict.  I have apple cider, several varieties of hot chocolate, iced coffee, decaf, half-caff, herbal teas, caffeinated teas ... it is K-cup mania!  Perhaps one day I'll have the Keurig Cafe One-touch milk frother, but it's a little too expensive for my coffee budget.


K-cups seem to be everywhere these days - Target, Bed Bath and Beyond (where I purchased the above super-awesome K-cup drawers) and of course at Keurig and Green Mountain Coffee.  My favorite go to drink is Green Mountain Island Coconut coffee, iced.  It is delicious.  For an added kick, I mix in So Delicious Dairy-Free Unsweetened Coconut Milk.  That is a very tasty treat!  I also find that Timothy's Lemon Blueberry Passion Tea K-cup brewed over ice tastes very similar to Starbucks' iced passion tea at a fraction of the price.  I'm my own barista!


What's your favorite K-cup flavor?

  2. Linda's DIL says . . . Lily is on the Lam because she's a Home Coffee Bar Copy Cat!!! But of course, Lily's added special touches make my Coffee Bar look pathetic now. Damn you, Lily.

  3. Imitation is the highest form of flattery -- but improving on the original is even better :-)
