Green Mountain Revv and Revv Pulse Coming to CoffeeRocket.com!

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

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.

Green Mountain Revv: A New K-cup!

Monday, March 8th, 2010

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 Releases Tassimo PRO for Small Offices

Friday, March 5th, 2010

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!

Flavia Coffee Costa Rica Review

Monday, March 1st, 2010

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!

Nescafe Dolce Gusto Cappuccino Capsule Review

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

Working for a coffee company certainly has its perks. Over here at CoffeeRocket.com, our break room is chock full of single serve coffee makers. We have the latest Flavia coffee machine, the latest Keurig single cup coffee maker, the Tassimo by Bosch T65, the newest Krups, and a lovely red Nescafe Dolce Gusto coffee maker. Now with all these choices, we can pretty much drink whatever kind of coffee tickles our fancy. With that said, if any of us is craving a cappuccino, we’re going with the Nescafe Dolce Gusto Cappuccino capsule.

Having the ability to perfect your drink by using the hot/cold water handle on the Nescafe Dolce Gusto machine provides you with the freedom to customize your cappuccino. Perhaps you like it a bit milkier or maybe you more intensely enjoy the espresso flavor? Either way, this machine produces an exceptional cappuccino. The Nescafe Dolce Gusto Cappuccino is creamy without losing the coffee flavor and has a subtle sweetness that can be enhanced with a little sugar or left alone. Since this beverage uses two capsules, the barista-like drink costs around $1 per cup, but it is well worth it and definitely rivals the coffeehouse. Give it a shot. It was created to satisfy you and with such a low price it can help take some of the strain off your coffee bills! Check out the whole line of Nescafe Dolce Gusto capsules at super low prices on CoffeeRocket.com.

Nescafe Dolce Gusto Mocha Capsule Review

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

Nescafe Dolce Gusto is a fine brand, indeed. Though, they’re drinks are geared more toward rivaling what you would drink at the specialty coffee house then just a plain ol’ drip brew. They have a capsule for that too, of course, the Nescafe Dolce Gusto Caffe Lungo. Personally, I prefer the Nescafe Dolce Gusto Machines more for their specialty drinks previously mentioned. They are pretty fantastic. That brings me back to the capsule that has two of my favorite things: coffee and chocolate. The Nescafe Dolce Gusto Mocha capsule is awesome. You can control the amount of chocolate/coffee capsule in relation to the milk capsule and get a seriously thick chocolately mocha or a creamier milky version depending on your taste. This capsule is one of those things that will make you feel like you’re treating yourself to a little snack because it’s so yummy. To make the best mocha beverage you can, make sure you make it as a 7 oz. drink. The Nescafe Dolce Gusto single cup coffee maker comes with a free 8 oz. glass, but whenever the company does demonstrations they use a 7 oz. glass which may skew the flavor you intend on getting. Overall, the Nescafe Dolce Gusto Mocha is awesome. To try to whole line of Nescafe Dolce Gusto capsules at a discounted rate (who doesn’t love that?) check out www.CoffeeRocket.com where the drinks are hot and the prices are even hotter. (I know that was kind of lame, but it really is true!)

Tassimo Gevalia Espresso TDISC Review

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

Alone as just a shot of espresso, the Tassimo Gevalia Espresso TDISC is a bit acidic and definitely needs a bit of sugar. However, it certainly delivers on taste and body for milk based drinks such as cappuccinos and lattes. One of the fantastic features on the Tassimo T-65 Hot Beverage Systems is that it reads barcodes on TDISCs and perfectly dispenses the right amount of coffee. So, without having to change any dials or adjust cup size, the Tassimo Gevalia Espresso TDISC comes out as one perfect demitasse espresso shot, just as it should. For a single cup coffee maker, the Tassimo Gevalia Espresso TDISC is a good espresso, but better in the form of the Tassimo Gevalia Latte TDISC or the Tassimo Gevalia Cappuccino TDISC.

Keurig K-Cups: How Green is Green Mountain?

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

Recently, I read an article about the environmental impact of Keurig K-Cups. Keurig, which was bought out by Green Mountain in 2005, has taken over the single cup coffee market. They offer hundreds of options for coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and chai drinks, but at what cost? Although many of the coffees offered by Green Mountain are Fair Trade or organic, they are all still placed in non-recyclable K-cups. Though Green Mountain has been trying to develop a way to create a “greener” K-cup, so far they have only invented the My K-Cup Reusable Coffee Filter. This reusable coffee filter allows you to use any kind of coffee you want in your Keurig single cup coffee makers. The idea is clever, but doesn’t this seem to deter Keurig users from buying more K-cups and instead filling it with grocery store coffee brands?

Here’s an except from EarthPM.com about the amount of K-Cups that end up in landfills:

Last year alone, over 1.6 billion (yes, billion!) cups were used. My calculations say that this is enough K-cups to circle the earth one and a quarter times. And they all go into landfills after their seconds of use and stay there for hundreds or thousands of years. And that’s just Keurig. There is also Tassimo, Senseo, and others. Further, the forecast for K-cup sales are 3 billion in 2010 and 5 billion in 2011. So now we are talking about a chain of K-cups from 2009, 2010 and 2011 made up of 9 or 10 billion units and circling the earth eight times!

How do you feel about this? What do you think they can do to improve the “green-ness” of K-Cups?
