We often wonder how to display the different K Cup choices when we have a dinner party, and now we know. The K-Cup spinning carousel displays 27 assorted coffees and teas and is chrome-plated. The unit features a lazy-susan base for simple rotation and fits easily in a regular kitchen cabinet to store when not in use.

Keurig, Incorporated and Caribou Coffee Company, Inc. announced a partnership today to market Caribou’s gourmet coffees in Keurig K-Cup® portion packs. Keurig coffee lovers will now have eight Caribou coffee varieties to choose from both at home and in the office.

Caribou Coffee K-Cups will begin to be available in Q2 of calendar year 2007 in the following varieties:
- Caribou Blend: This signature blend balances a big-bodied, syrupy taste with a clean, snappy finish. The secret is a rich, hearty Indonesian bean, perfectly proportioned with Central and South American varieties for lively fruit tones.
- French Roast: A combination of coffees from Costa Rica, and Papua New Guinea is blended and brought to a traditional French roast for a decadent, bittersweet flavor with a smooth, heavy body.
- Daybreak Morning Blend: A blend of coffees from the Americas and some fantastic East African beans are roasted to chocolate brown for this light, fruity blend that has a slightly nutty finish.
- Sumatra: Coffee is collected from small landholders throughout the beautiful island of Sumatra, one of the nearly 14,000 islands that make up the Indonesian Archipelago. This coffee has a syrupy, sweet rich body and cedarwood spice notes.
- Fair Trade: Caramel sweetness with deep grape and pecan notes and a note of a crisp, chardonnay finish characterize this sustainable blend.
- Colombia: This coffee is full of sweet caramel flavors, smooth roasted nut notes, and delicate floral nuances.
- Caribou Blend Natural Decaf: (all natural, no chemical decaffeination in our process)
- Decaf Sumatra:(all natural, no chemical decaffeination)

So check out the My K-Cup Reuseable filter and if you need more info - you can read our full review here.

We received two boxes of the Diedrich Coffee French Roast K-Cups this holiday season and we like them. Though we've been very loyal to our Tully's French Roast K-Cups, the Diedrich Coffee French Roast K-Cups are really good as well. Expect not as bold a flavor as a Tully's, but the flavor is very rich for a morning cup of coffee.
Packed 18 to a box and available from Amazon.com at $9.99, these K-Cups will work in your Keurig Elite B40 Brewer, Keurig B50, Keurig Special Edition Ultra Elite B60, and the Keurig B70 Brewer.

If you like Sesame Street, NOVA, Frontline, and other amazing shows on PBS then you know the quality that PBS has in programming. We imagine the PBS Blend K Cups will also have the same quality in "coffee programming".
The PBS Blend is grown in the lush, tropical rainforests surrounding the El Triunfo Biosphere in Mexico. The PBS Blend is sweetly balanced and smooth, with full flavor and a rich finish. With this Fair Trade Certified™ organic coffee, PBS invites "viewers like you" to enjoy great taste while preserving both natural habitat and one of America's greatest national treasures.

What's not to like about a rich and delicious coffee with hints of caramel, vanilla and custard, and is perfect for warming up these long winter days ahead? That it only comes out in the Winter. If you haven't been to Winter Carnival in Quebec, Canada - then this coffee is the only substitute we can think of. We've been enjoying the Winter Carnival blend over the past few days and the Thanksgiving Holiday, and find it to be a perfect cup of coffee in the morning and in the evening paired with a little desert. We love the sweet notes of the blend, and the hints of vanilla are amazing. These K Cups will work in your Keurig Elite B40 Brewer, Keurig B50, Keurig Special Edition Ultra Elite B60, and the Keurig B70 Brewer.

Readers are always writing in asking the Single Serve Coffee staff how much the different single serve coffee systems cost to own and operate and especially how much each cup of single serve coffee will cost. We think the questions "what's best", or what's "cheapest," or what's "least expensive" all fall under this category of question as well, but starting with what type of coffee you'd like to make and how much it will cost is a good way to find out which single serve coffee maker is the least expensive to own and operate.
Are Senseo Coffee Pods, Tassimo T-Disks, K-Cups or Nespresso Coffee Capsules the best option for you? Which system falls in your price range? Does the single serve coffee maker or system match your coffee drinking habits? These are all good questions that go hand and hand with the price per cup.
The guide below should give you all the detail you need to know on what coffee system may be right for you. Depending on which type of single serve coffee maker you choose, be it coffee pods, k cups, t discs, or nespresso capsules, you'll be choosing the type of coffee you can get per system and also how much per cup your single serve coffee will cost, and how flexible that cost can be, and what types of coffee the single serve coffee maker can prepare.
If you look at the four major type of single serve coffee you can purchase there are essentially 4 main types:
- Coffee Pods - work with a variety of single serve coffee makers including: Senseo, Bunn My Cafe, Melitta One:One, Grindmaster, simplehuman, and Krups Home Cafe. Coffee pod brewers are the "open standard" of single serve coffee makers, with the largest variety of coffees available reaching over 250+ varieties of coffee pods.
- K Cups - work only with Keurig brewers. Models include: Keurig Elite B40 Brewer, Keurig B50, Keurig Special Edition Ultra Elite B60, and the newly released Keurig B70 Brewer. You can expect to get in the 150+ variety range for K Cup types of coffee as well as tea.
- T Discs: works only with the Tassimo line of single serve coffee makers. You can expect to get 30+ different coffees and teas for your Tassimo brewer.
- Nespresso Coffee Capsules: works only with the Nespresso line of single serve coffee makers. On average there are 12 regular varieties and 3-4 unique varieties per year.
Given the run down of each of the different types, how much does each cup of single serve coffee cost per system?
