Though this blog focuses primarily on bringing your attentions to the gourmet products that are out there, every once in awhile it’s nice to have something a little different. Most of these “other posts” are created because of links sent to me by friends or readers. Here is one that I found particularly interesting: A car that runs on coffee! Amazing! Though there are plenty of going-green-projects that are probably more deserving of press, it’s these kinds of articles that allow people to realize the endless possibilities. We’re only limited by our imaginations and lucky for these scientists from Manchester, we are able to witness something truly amazing. The graphic explains how it works, which is why it is such a large image. To break it down though, it takes about 56 shots of ground espresso to travel just one mile.

Now, I wonder if the stronger the coffee.. the faster the car? If that were the case then maybe these guys should try those new Green Mountain Revv K-cups (coming March 18) I’ve been raving about. That baby would FLY! If you plan on building your own coffee car–well, 1st off let us know! 2nd of all, feel free to peruse our large selection of “gas” in it’s glorious grounded coffee form over at CoffeeRocket.com.

So yesterday we announced the creation of Green Mountain’s new K-cup, Revv and Revv Pulse. Well, late-last night an email was sent to me with a bit more information, which you need to know about in order to get as hyped as we are about the arrival of these two new K-cups! Here is a quote from Lindsey Bolger, Director of Coffee Sourcing and Relationships at Green Mountain Coffee.

“Our goal was to create an intense and energizing coffee experience without delivering a shock to your system or taste buds. We’ve crafted revv to be every bit as flavorful and delicious as it is invigorating.”

While we can’t say for sure exactly what the new Green Mountain Revv K-cup and the new Green Mountain Revv K-cup Pulse taste  or feel like (energy-wise), we do know some descriptor details that are sure to make us rip open the packaging come March 18th when the new Green Mountain K-cups become available.

Both of the the Green Mountain K-cups, Revv and Revv Pulse are designed with more coffee in each K-cup than all other K-cups. These additional grinds crafted of a blend of 100% Arabica medium and dark roasted beans create a smooth smoky sweetness (try saying that 3 times fast!) that is sure not to overpower your tastebuds.

The new Green Mountain K-cup Revv only has that extra coffee in the K-cup, but the new Green Mountain Revv Pulse has Ginseng and Guarana (lead natural ingredients in popular energy drinks) to help you cultivate more focus and energy than just a plain ol’ cup of coffee.

We are sure that this new Green Mountain K-cup will take off as fast as Green Mountain is hoping for and we certainly cannot wait to review it! Check back for a full review after March 18! Until then, check out our extensive selection of other Green Mountain K-cups and other brands, such as Timothy’s K-cups, Coffee People K-cups, Gloria Jean K-cups and more at www.CoffeeRocket.com.

Well, well, well. What do we have here, Green Mountain? A new K-cup?! Here is a K-cup that has everyone super excited! Actually, there are two new ones: Revv and Revv Pumped…

After attaining Timothy’s Coffee, Green Mountain showed an epic slowdown in new K-cup productions. Known for their variety and ever-growing selection of flavored K-cups, it is about time for Green Mountain to shock the market once more with something new.

We are all well aware of the energy drink craze happening right now. So, how has Green Mountain decided to play into this market? Green Mountain took nature’s oldest ‘energy drink’ and decided to REVV it up. They have added additional caffeine and more coffee into the same K-cups you already love. More details to come as we find out more information. We just found out ourselves and wanted to share the excitement of Green Mountain’s New Revv K-cup and Revv Pulse K-cup.

How exciting!

Tassimo Hot Beverage System is a fantastic single serve coffee maker. The Tassimo Hot Beverage System uses Tassimo TDISCs that each have their own barcode. The machine is able to read the barcode and instantly prepare your drink the way it was meant to be prepared. There is no need to adjust strength of brew or cup size, the Tassimo knows as soon as you clamp down the TDISC into the system. Now, Tassimo has released the Tassimo PRO for small offices. Although, the regular sized TDISCs made for the Tassimo Hot Beverage System do not fit into the Tassimo PRO. A different TDISC is needed in order to fit. This was done to prevent theft in offices, so people were not taking TDISCs home to their smaller Hot Beverage Systems. It’s a beautiful and intelligent machine with a sleek design. While the Tassimo PRO TDISCs are not yet by CoffeeRocket.com, the TDISCs for Tassimo Hot Beverage System definitely are. Get your favorites, such as Gevalia Espresso, Starbucks Africa Kitamu, and Suchard Hot Chocolate! Enjoy!

Earlier this month, I wrote a blog about a new machine that had made its way onto CoffeeRocket.com. We’re talking about the Handpresso Wild Portable Espresso Maker. The Handpresso was crafted by the same individuals who sell Gaggia Coffee & Espresso Makers. In turn, those very same people are the creators of Gaggia Coffee (who would’ve thought?!) So, what better E.S.E pod to use in your Handpresso than a Gaggia E.S.E Pod? E.S.E stands for Easy Serving Espresso, which is exactly what it is. Gaggia Coffee Espresso offers three different types of Espresso pods. There is the Gaggia Intenso E.S.E pods, the Gaggia Arabica E.S.E pods, and the Gaggia Decaffeinated E.S.E pods.

Each pod is wonderful, but to truly get the best experience and crema from your Handpresso Wild, the Gaggia Coffee Intenso E.S.E pod is highly recommended. Each pod is meant for one demitasse shot of espresso and comes in a box of 20 individually wrapped espresso pods that are compatable with any single serve espresso maker that takes E.S.E pods. You can pick up a box of 20 or 150 of these creamy, delicious espresso pods from CoffeeRocket.com. Always low prices, always offering you the very best coffee and espresso. Enjoy!

After placing the Flavia Coffee brew pack in your single cup coffee maker, probably a Flavia Fusion Deluxe Drink Station if you are at home, you can take out the pack after the seal has been pierced and really smell the coffee grinds. The scent is sweet and strong, which is a great indication of freshness. Upon brewing the Flavia Coffee pack into your mug, the aroma smells of sugared almonds with slight earthy notes, like those from a tropical woodsy area.

This coffee is a medium to dark roast for sure and you won’t have to look at the package to know that. The rich chocolately color is lighter than the Flavia Coffee espresso, but much darker than a traditional breakfast blend, which by the way, Flavia Coffee makes an excellent one.

After slurping the first sip, the Flavia Coffee Costa Rica pack has a wonderfully thick mouth-feel. It’s not watery at all and feels like a hearty cup of coffee.  It’s smooth taste deliveres what you would hope for after smelling the aroma. It is sweet with balanced acidity that makes it full-bodied without tasting like burnt beans, but absolutely no bitterness is present. This Flavia Coffee is A+ in my book. I will not be adding cream or sugar. Flavia Coffee Costa Rica packs are one of the few coffees I always enjoy black. Pick some up at CoffeeRocket.com at a great price. Enjoy!

Sure, a lot of the posts around here are all about coffee, espresso, tea and the like; however, if you don’t have a mug to put them in…well, then you don’t have a drink, do you? So here is something found by a friend of mine. Please don’t be thrown off that it appears on BravoBride.com. This is a sincerely adorable way to get the message across to anyone about anything. At the bottom of these classic white mugs are your personalized custom message. Whatever you want to say..right there..on the bottom.. how creative!

So, the next time you are making a cup of coffee for your sweetie using a Flavia Coffee Fusion single cup coffee maker, or just shooting back an espresso shot of Segafredo Espresso Coffee, just remember this: the bottom of the cup doesn’t have to be so bad–you have the power to make the bottom the best part!
