Sears Carrying K-Cups and Keurig Brewers Galore

We stopped by our local sears to pick up a small 5.1 cubic freezer, and what did we find? Tons of K-Cups and Keurig brewers. They had piles of the Keurig Elite B40 Brewer, and the Keurig Special Edition Ultra Elite B60. It's nice to see a retailer like Sears also take a little time to present the brewers and K-Cups with a little flair.

Barista Prima Coffeehouse K-Cup Portion Packs for Keurig

Barista Prima Coffeehouse part of the Specialty Coffee business unit of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. has launched a line of dark and medium-dark roast K-Cups. A rare combination of European coffee tradition and advanced brewing technology, Barista Prima Coffeehouse K-Cups reflect the consummate artistry and handcrafted care of the world’s most skilled baristas. Using technology that allows more room for more coffee, each Barista Prima Coffeehouse K-Cup is filled with select, hand-picked Arabica beans from the world’s premier coffee growing regions.

The current lineup includes four different specialty K-Cup coffees and is available to order now. All of the coffees are either a dark roast or medium-dark roast. We can't wait to try all of the Barista Prima K-Cups.

• French Roast (darkest roast): This intensely bold yet gracefully-bodied cup provides indisputable proof of our roast masters' artistry. The absolute finest Arabica beans are heated to the very edge of noir - then meticulously eased back to reveal their rich, full-flavored complexity. The result? A daringly dark, smoky-sweet brew with a surprisingly light mouthfeel.
• Italian Roast (dark roast): This rich, heavy-bodied cup with its ripe fruit and berry notes epitomizes the time-honored Italian tradition of dark-roasted coffeehouse brews. Bold yet ideally balanced, with a subtle hint of smokiness and a sweet, clean finish, Italian Roast is a hearty and flavorful testament to the art of dark roasting.
• Colombia (medium-dark roast): A prized coffee, born of the mountains in a land steeped in the coffee-growing tradition. Accented by bright, bold fruit notes and a distinctive hint of walnut, this deep-roasted cup possesses a sweet, full-bodied finish that elevates satisfaction into a realm all its own.
• House Blend (medium-dark roast): Classically balanced, with a lively splash of citrus, subtle hints of bittersweet chocolate and a well rounded, toasted-nut finish. Its roasty sweet, supremely satisfying taste evokes all the familiar comforts of a favorite coffeehouse.

The Barista Prima Coffeehouse K-Cups will work in your Keurig Elite B40 Brewer, Keurig B50, Keurig Special Edition Ultra Elite B60, Keurig Platinum B70 Brewer, Breville BKC600XL/BKC700XL Gourmet Single Cup Brewer, and other Keurig K Cup brewers including the Keurig Mini Plus and Keurig Mini B30.

Review: Wolfgang Puck Chef's Reserve Colombian Decaf K-Cups for Keurig

We continue our series of Wolfgang Puck K-Cup reviews with the Wolfgang Puck Chef's Reserve Colombian Decaf K-Cups in today's review. It should be noted that there's actually one major difference between the regular & decaf versions of the Chef Reserve Colombian flavor (no, it's not the obvious lack of caffeine)... the decaf is a medium roast while the regular is a dark roast. We can't recall the last time we saw a K-Cup manufacturer use a different roast for their decaf version, so this should make for some interesting nuances.

Upon brewing, we got a small waft of your typical medium roasts but then it quickly disappeared. We had to stop and check that our Keurig hadn't crapped-out half way through the brew... that's how bizarre it was. Once the brewing was over, we took our time to try and discern any outstanding scents but couldn't really smell anything other than a rather weak standard Arabica scent. There were no dark chocolate notes of the regular Colombian version here, nor any of the earthiness. A really weak & lacking aroma overall.

Review: Wolfgang Puck Breakfast In Bed K-Cups for Keurig

Next up in our series of Wolfgang Puck K-Cup reviews are the Wolfgang Puck Breakfast In Bed K-Cups for today’s review. Labeled as a medium roast, we wondered if Van Houtte decided to name this flavor based on the comforting qualities one finds in their own bed when they wake up each morning. While that remains to be seen, let’s just hope this flavor doesn’t make us want to hit the snooze button and go back to sleep like their Colombian Decaf did recently.

Upon brewing, typical aromas of Arabica were present, but appeared to border on a light dark roast in regards to earthiness. Flavor was surprisingly the same… which led us to believe this was more of a medium-bold blend than a lighter medium. Will be interesting to see how some of the other K-Cups in the Wolfgang Puck line-up turn out as there’s some which are in fact listed as medium-bolds. We detected faint nutty notes in the background along with some mild earthy notes found in the regular Chef’s Reserve Colombian we reviewed a while back.
