Coffee

When you have a busy and needy toddler on your hands, there are times when you realize that you have no idea what time of the day it is, or even what day it is, good that you succeed remembering a year we're living in. First world parenting problems :)
When you have a time to bake yummy muffins (click on link for recipe) and actually enjoy them with great cup of coffee (Folgers Caramel Drizzle), you know life is good and I shouldn't be complaining :)

That was yesterday though, today is a new day and a new coffee to review :)

So today's Keurig coffee choice was Van Houtte Midnight Express.

I was not impressed with this coffee. It's a dark roast, and I usually like dark roast a lot. Coffee with heavy body, strong and great aroma, but in my opinion has bitter after taste. I didn't taste promised fruity notes and didn't find it to be smooth. The best about this coffee is name. Unfortunately my review ended up to little bitter. I might give this coffee another chance another day :)

Relaxing evening with some tea

After a busy morning/day it's time for little relaxation with nice cup of tea. Moroccan Style Green tea from PC suits this day perfect.
At first I want to share my today's excitement. I spent my morning in audience for Marilyn Denis show. It felt so different to be on the other side of the TV. New and great experience with escape from everyday routine :)

So back to my tea report :)
Its a fantastic green tea with great spearmint, peppermint flavor. Very rich aroma, filled my kitchen in no time. Very refreshing and smooth taste with sweet aftertaste. Never thought that I would buy tea K-cups as I find them to be too pricey, but I got this one on sale and I'm very satisfied!

Coffeeeeee

Today's choice of K-cup is Timothy's Breakfast Blend.

This coffee has combination of Costa Rican and Guatemalan coffee beans. Has a little sweetness with smooth taste to it. Very classic breakfast blend. I prefer my coffee with little more boldness to it though. But overall good and very aromatic coffee. Kind of a blend that is safe to be served to your guests when you don't know their coffee preference.

Coffee time

Coffee of the day today is Van Houtte Colombian.

Good coffee to start your morning with. Medium roast, doesn't have boldness I prefer. But very smooth, balanced flavors and acidity. Has sweet-ish aftertaste. Great aroma. Overall very classic taste. Piece of dark chocolate with afternoon cup would compliment it wonderfully. Would recommend to give it a try. Cheers!

When the weather outside is frightful

Yeah, when the weather outside is frightful, I still make myself to wake up for Metro Life Fitness workout and put those muscles to work. With long weekend ahead of us, trainer Emma doesn't take it easy on us. I predict more sore muscles in my near future :) 

With extreme temperature in Toronto today, I thought that my sweat might freeze on me while walking home. I was fast enough though, got home before it could happen. Ha ha.

To celebrate Friday, my Keurig morning coffee pick was Van Houtte Vanilla Hazelnut. Coffee filled my kitchen with sweet and strong aroma, that scared me a little, as I'm not sweets biggest fan. What was I expecting, choosing vanilla hazelnut, I had to know that it will be sweet flavored coffee.. Oh well.

Thankfully I was pleasantly surprised that coffee didn't have that overwhelming sweetness to it. I actually didn't taste vanilla as much as I tasted hazelnut that overpowered all the other components. But it was good, smooth coffee with moderate sweet-ish aftertaste. I will probably have an another cup of coffee very soon, as it didn't give caffeine fix this early morning mamma needs so much :)

   

Coffee of the day

So today's coffee is from Folgers Gourmet Selection - Black Silk. Mmmmm, so far my favorite from K-cups. It's full-bodied dark roast with bold taste and smooth finish. Black silk indeed. Also has that addictive coffee aroma to it. Compliments to Folgers, this coffee got my attention :)

Happy Thursday!

Today's coffee (little late, I know)

So today's pick for my Keurig coffee morning was Green Mountain coffee Lake & Lodge Week-end.

It's not a bad coffee, more of an average every day rather than week-end.. Don't get me wrong, coffee is good, just nothing special (description promised me "that extra special something"). It's smooth dark roast blend that doesn't have bitterness to it. I think after reviews and descriptions I had read, my expectations were higher than satisfaction this coffee delivered.

Tomorrow is a new day and a new coffee to try! :)
