a blog about coffee <3 (and a giveaway!)

Hi.
Soooo.
I love coffee. So much.

When I was given the opportunity to review Brooklyn Beans variety pack of K-Cups, I was pretty excited… because coffee. But I was also kind of nervous… because Keurig. It’s definitely not my favorite method of coffee consumption, but when someone offers to send you FORTY CUPS OF COFFEE for free… well let’s just say… here we are.

I LOVED pouring out all of the cups and looking at the different names and pictures on each individual cup. “Variety pack” is a very accurate term – there were so many different kinds!

 

I don’t know if you know this, but Christmas is SO BUSY in The Salvation Army, where I work. Late nights doing kettles, early mornings signing people up for Christmas assistance… to say that I’m tired is a complete understatement. EXHAUSTED is a better word. And sometimes, let’s just be real… I don’t even have the energy to grind up beans for a pot of coffee. And when it’s night time, I don’t even WANT a whole pot. All I want is one little cup of coffee to sip on as I reflect on my day.

Enter the Brooklyn Beans Variety Count Coffee Singles.

One of the reasons I’m not a huge fan of k-cups is that I can’t control the “brew to taste” aspect. I’d rather have a cup of too-strong coffee that I can alter with creamer than an ultra watery cup that – as far as I’m concerned – cannot be saved. But there were plenty of options in this variety pack that met my standards (especially the Cyclone and Express-o ones).

Look. at. that. coffee. Hearts out my eyes emoji here.

Every night for the past few weeks I have had a piece of delicious coconut/banana bread and a cup of Brooklyn Beans Roastery coffee before bed, sitting by the fire with my cozy socks on and unwinding from the day. I am slowly dreading the day I use my last one, and I am seriously considering buying another box so that I am always prepared for the moments when I want coffee but have very minimal coffee.

And just so you know. Coffee is reeeeaaaaal important to me. SO important. I even made this nice picture to prove it 🙂

Luckily for all of you, Brooklyn Beans is also giving all of you a chance to win one of these packs to try yourself! If you live near me and you win, you must promise that I can come and drink one of your Express-o ones. Good luck 🙂
