CoffeeCow Reviews Newman’s Own Special Blend Organic Coffee K-Cups

Newman’s partnered with Green Mountain Coffee to develop Newman’s Own Special Blend Medium Roast Extra Bold Coffee; a strong, yet smooth blend that has been grown and processed according to the strictest organic standards. The result is K-cup coffee that is Fair Trade Certified and pleasing to your palate.

At CoffeeCow, we’re all about saving the planet and contributing to the greater good, but we also demand a great cup of coffee to start the day. We brewed some on a manic Monday morning and our verdict is below.


The Test: We’re a bit moody in the morning. Some of us want a dark roast coffee to awaken or senses and get us moving while some of us need a bold yet mild coffee, and some of us want a bit of both! Our coffee dream is to find one coffee blend to hit all of our moving targets.

We popped a K-cup into our Keurig coffee maker and immediately the aroma made our taste buds perk up in anticipation of the promise of a cup of coffee infused with favorite flavors of vanilla, chocolate, and caramel.

The cup couldn’t brew fast enough, but it was worth the wait! At first sip, we were immersed in a study of flavor contradiction: bold yet refined, strong yet smooth, hearty and full-bodied, but no bitterness. We’re in love!

We can drink this blend black or with a favorite flavored creamer. We can save time and money stocking up because no matter whom we’re entertaining at home or the office, Newman’s Special Blend coffee is sure to satisfy.

Best of all, there’s no bitter aftertaste so you won’t have to rush to brush your teeth to combat coffee breath.

The Result: On a scale of 1-5, we give Newman’s Own Special Blend Medium Roast Extra Bold Coffee a 4.5. This coffee woke us up with its tiny bite and amazing deep flavor. This blend is a large crowd pleaser! Light roast coffee fans may not appreciate the smoky, almost dark chocolate overtones while dark roast coffee fans may not appreciate the splash of dried-fruit sweetness.

General Information: Each box of Newman’s Own Special Blend Extra Bold Coffee K-Cups contains 24 single-serve cups for your Keurig K-Cup brewer.

CoffeeCow Reviews Cinnabon Classic Cinnamon Roll K-Cup® Pods

If you love the fall weather and all the smells and flavors that come with it, then there’s a pretty good chance you also love cinnamon. From food to pine cones, and of course coffee – a little cinnamon sprinkled on top is the perfect complement to the season.

Today, we’re taste-testing  Cinnabon Classic Cinnamon Roll K-Cup® Pods to see if this coffee should be another addition to your must-have fall flavors list.

General Information: Each box of Cinnabon Classic Cinnamon Roll K-Cup Pods contains 24 single serve cups for use in your K-Cup brewer.

The Test: Alright, time to stock up on everything cinnamon to get in the mood. We light our cinnamon candle, take our cinnamon K-Cup Pod and pop it into our cinnamon coffee brewer – our Keurig, of course.

Once the brewing commences, even more of that glorious, spicy cinnamon aroma that we love fills the room. Upon first sip we notice a smooth taste and attractive mouthfeel. Cinnabon Classic Cinnamon Roll K-Cup® Pods are not bitter with an exceptional and noticeable cinnamon flavor.

The Result: On a scale from 1-5, we rate Cinnabon Classic Cinnamon Roll K-Cup® Pods a 3.5. This light roast coffee is like drinking an actual cinnamon roll – but if you’re not a cinnamon fan, this coffee may not be for you.

CoffeeCow Reviews Green Mountain Caramel Vanilla Cream Coffee K-Cups

Green Mountain has gone and done it again – they have created another coffee flavor fit to be a stand-alone dessert…or have they? Our coffee connoisseurs are ready and willing to find out!

Today, we’re taste-testing Green Mountain Caramel Vanilla Cream Coffee K-Cups to see if there’s really anything at all to fuss about.

General Information: Each box of Green Mountain Caramel Vanilla Cream Coffee K-Cups contains 24 single serve cups for your K-Cup brewer.

The Test: We don’t need much preparation for this taste-test; we just need to be in the mood for dessert. Done – now that didn’t take long!

As the K-Cup begins to brew, we immediately notice the mouth-watering aromas of caramel and vanilla – a smell so divine we’re inclined to take a sip before the K-Cup brewer is done performing its magic! We close our eyes to take that first sip and our taste buds go crazy. Although the mouthful of this coffee is somewhat thin and watery, the swirling dessert-like flavors are just right.

The Result: On a scale from 1-5, we rate Green Mountain’s Caramel Vanilla Cream Coffee K-Cups a 4. This is a light roast coffee, so it may not be for our dark roast coffee fans.

And finally, to answer the question of whether this coffee could be considered a stand-alone dessert…well so far, we haven’t found a coffee that couldn’t.

CoffeeCow Reviews Green Mountain Fair Trade Pumpkin Spice Coffee K-Cups

Ready or not, here comes Fall…

It’s that time of year again – sweaters are back in the stores and in your drawers (depending on where you live), the kiddos are somewhat reluctantly making their way back to school, and just about everything is made of pumpkin… coffee being no exception! So as another Fall season begins to creep in, we wanted to take a moment to celebrate the turn of the season with the perfect coffee flavor. Today, we’re taste-testing Green Mountain Fair Trade Pumpkin Spice K-Cups to see if this coffee compliments the season or gives us “seasonal depression.”

General Information: Every box of Green Mountain Fair Trade Pumpkin Spice Coffee contains 24 K-Cups per box and works in K-Cup brewers only.

The Test: We’re going to make it feel like Fall and turn the A/C up as high as it will possibly go - 60 degrees sounds pretty good. Now, throw on your favorite sweater and let’s move on to the coffee tastin’!

Once brewing, a mouthwatering pumpkin aroma fills the air. The smooth taste, exceptional flavor and attractive mouthfeel leave you savoring every sip, right down to the last drop. The only con we see – if you like dark-roasted coffee, Green Mountain’s Pumpkin Spice K-Cups may be too light for your taste.

The Result: On a scale from 1-5, we rate Green Mountain Fair Trade Pumpkin Spice K-Cups a 5.1! Not only are they tasty but these K-Cups contain Fair Trade coffee and are an amazing treat anyhow, anytime, anywhere. So whether you’re admiring the changing colors of the season, venturing out to a nearby Fall festival or gazing up at the harvest moon – just remember to take a Coffee Cow tumbler filled with Green Mountain’s Pumpkin Spice Coffee along for the ride. We’re pretty sure you won’t regret it.

CoffeeCow Reviews Twinings Mixed Berries Iced Tea K-Cups

Thomas Twinings

When you’re appointed “purveyor of teas” by a Queen, you know you’re doing something right. That was Thomas Twinings in 1711 and, over 300 years later, people still refer to him as the “purveyor of teas.”

So what makes Twinings still one of the finest teas on the market? We’re taste testing Twinings Mixed Berries Iced Tea K-Cups today to investigate.

General Information: Each box of Twinings Mixed Berries Iced Tea K-Cups contains 12 single serve cups for use in K-Cup brewers only. Brew over ice and experience a refreshing blend of fine black tea and berries.

The Test: Not that you need to wait for warmer weather to enjoy iced coffee or tea, but isn’t it that much more refreshing? We grab a glass, some ice, and a Twinings Mixed Berries Iced Tea K-Cup. Now, let the brewing commence!

As the tea flows into the glass, the room is filled with a fruity aroma. The first sip is glorious – is that strawberry? Raspberry? Twinings Mixed Berries Iced Tea actually mixes four different types of fruit: strawberry, raspberry, cherry and red currant – and it’s a perfect, slightly sweet mixture.

The Result: On a scale from 1-5, we rate Twinings Mixed Berries Iced Tea K-Cups a 5! This exceptional tea hits the spot any time of day and we think it could even be served for dessert. Fruity beverages can sometimes be too sugary and sweet, but Twinings Mixed Berries Iced Tea is just right.

CoffeeCow Reviews Newman’s Own Decaf Special Blend K-Cups

I bought a decaffeinated coffee table…you can't even see a difference.  

~Author Unknown 

Many people poke fun at the idea of drinking decaffeinated coffee, but there is a reason it exists. For instance, if you need to stay away from caffeine but simply cannot do without coffee in your life, decaf coffee can be your best friend. And with a great-tasting popular brand like Newman’s Own, you may just forget you’re drinking decaf entirely.

Today, we’re taste-testing Newman’s Own Decaf Special Blend K-Cups to see if decaf coffee is really a joke or so good it’s NOT a laughing matter.

General Information: A fair trade certified and organic decaf medium-roasted coffee, Newman’s Own Decaf Special Blend K-Cups come in 24 single serve cups per box for your Keurig brewer.

The Test: It’s late in the day and we’ve got a hankering for coffee but don’t want to be up half the night. Perfect timing to try Newman’s Own Decaf Special Blend coffee! We pop a K-Cup in our Keurig and begin to take it all in – the sights, the smells…well, the smells, anyway. This coffee has a pleasing aroma and a smooth taste upon the first sip. The only con we see is a somewhat thin mouthfeel.

The Result: On a scale from 1-5, we rate Newman’s Own Decaf Special Blend K-Cups a 5! It’s an exceptional cup of coffee, even though it’s decaf.

What Do Webcams & Coffee Have in Common?

Image of the
"Trojan Room Coffee Pot."

And it’s not a trick question! Webcams and coffee have plenty in common when you’re talking about the Trojan Room Coffee Pot. Get ready for a “Did you know?” question…

Did you know that the world’s first webcam was inspired by the Trojan Room Coffee Pot? It’s true! A live camera was installed in 1991 at the University of Cambridge, just outside of a room called the “Trojan Room.” The camera’s sole purpose was to broadcast the status of the coffee pot to people working all over the university. One could view the coffee pot from their computer and avoid wasting time on a trip if there was no coffee. Call it lazy, call it genius – whatever you call it, it’s just another coffee-inspired part of history.

Last image taken before the webcam
was shut off in 2001.

In 2001, the webcam was officially turned off, never to broadcast the status of the coffee pot again.

Those who still use the traditional drip coffee brewing system and run into the occasional empty coffee pot – we feel for you. Perhaps you can setup a webcam for your home or office…or maybe it’s time to make the switch to a single cup brewing system.

There’s a reason we consider ourselves to be your single serve coffee source - shop at CoffeeCow.com and choose from a variety of single serve coffee!

CoffeeCow Reviews Folgers Classic Roast K-Cups

"The best part of wakin’ up is Folgers in your cup!"

~Folgers slogan and jingle

Founded in 1850, Folgers Coffee has definitely stood the test of time. When Leslie Pearl composed the Folgers jingle and it debuted in 1984, without a doubt people everywhere were waking up with that little ditty stuck in their heads. In 2013, Folgers is still going strong and adapting to the single cup coffee demands with Folgers coffee K-Cups.

Today, we’re going to taste-test Folgers Classic Roast K-Cups and see if it still has the ability to get us jumping out of bed singing.

General Information: Each box of Folgers Classic Roast K-Cups contains 12 single serve cups for your Keurig brewer. These K-Cups feature a classic, medium-roasted coffee with simple yet gourmet aromas and tastes.

The Test: The real test is to see how this coffee stands up to the dreaded morning – duh duh DUH!

When the alarm goes off at the crack of dawn, it’s time to jump out of bed and start singing! Ok, that may not be the case, but it IS time for that first cup of coffee before the reality of the day kicks us into gear – and that first cup tastes so good.

We head to the kitchen, pop a K-Cup in the Keurig, grab a mug and put it in place, then press a button. The aroma of Folgers Classic Roast coffee is a bouquet of freshness and familiarity, like having upscale gourmet coffee with an old friend. The taste and aftertaste are clean, no unusual or pungent flavors. The only con - this coffee may not be for you if you like strong coffee.

The Result: On a scale from 1-5, we rate Folgers Classic Roast K-Cups a 3.5! With a taste, you can count on and a brand you can trust, we see Folgers sticking around for many years to come.

CoffeeCow Reviews Emeril’s Big Easy Bold Coffee K-Cups

“I am committed to using only the finest and freshest products. 

People have come to expect that, and I will never let them down.” 

~ “The Bam Bam Man,” Emeril Lagasse

At 6 or 7 years old, Emeril Lagasse began cooking – and he’s never stopped. Emeril continued to follow his dream (his love of food), becoming a celebrity chef and successful business man in the process.

It’s clear that Emeril knows food, but does he know coffee? We’re going to put him to the test and review Emeril’s Big Easy Bold Coffee K-Cups to see if his coffee is as good as everything else “The Bam Bam Man” creates.

General Information: Emeril’s Big Easy Bold Coffee K-Cups feature an extra bold, dark-roasted coffee. Each box contains 24 single serve cups for use in your Keurig K-Cup brewer.

The Test: At CoffeeCow, we think the best test of coffee boldness is the morning - does it kick you into gear or make you want to cuddle in your comforter? With that being said, we went to bed with the alarm set for an early morning.

Waking up groggy is no fun, but we’re looking forward to our first cup of coffee. Half asleep and still in our PJs, we find our way to the kitchen where our Keurig and K-Cup await us. It’s as easy as 1-2-3: K-Cup, mug, button (in that order) and BAM, coffee is served!

We experience a pleasing aroma and intense gourmet flavors upon first sip. Big Easy Bold has a good mouthfeel but seems to have a sharp acidity that can be a negative.

The Result: On a scale from 1-5, we rate Emeril’s Big Easy Bold Coffee K-Cups a 4! This coffee has a great combination of kick and gourmet flavor, perfect for any time of day, every day.

What Do Cats & Coffee Have in Common?

If you’re an animal lover, you know there’s nothing like sitting down with a nice, hot cup of coffee and a loving pet by your side. But what if you aren’t able to own a pet?

Answer: Visit a cat café!  in Philadelphia PA.

Cat cafés have been very popular in Japan and are now finding their way to London in May 2013. The owner of this up-and-coming café, Lauren Pears, saw a need for some feline therapy in London and came up with the idea. She explained that a large number of British city dwellers are often unable to own pets due to financial reasons, small apartments, or living in a rented home. Lauren decided to give some coffee and kitty lovin’ people their dream – a place they could go to sip gourmet coffee, spend time with good company, and relax, all while giving some felines a snazzy home!

So the cats don’t get too stressed out with the in-and-out business a café can bring, Lauren introduced a cover charge so that patrons of the café could stay as long as they like without feeling rushed and the cats can get to know the patrons. She even came up with the idea of allowing people to take care of the cats overnight when they are not able to afford the cover charge.

Not only are pets great companions, they can also help people cope with difficult situations in life. Dogs and cats can be brought in for “pet therapy” and help patients with depression, children with autism, and bring comfort to the elderly. Pet therapy has even been used to ease one’s fear of hospitals!

Who’s up for bringing the United States its very first cat café?

As always, check out CoffeeCow.com today for the best selection of K-Cups & Keurig brewers!

CoffeeCow Reviews Green Mountain Breakfast Blend K-Cups

“One should not attend even the end of the world without a good breakfast.” 

~ Robert A. Heinlein 

We agree with Robert – a good, balanced breakfast can make all the difference for your morning; even your entire day. Getting off on the right foot can help build confidence, motivation, productivity, and keep you in a generally positive mood. If breakfast can do all of that, think of what you can accomplish with breakfast AND a great-tasting cup of coffee! Today, we’re reviewing Green Mountain Breakfast Blend K-Cups to see if this K-Cup is the perfect complimentary beverage to your breakfast.

General Information: Green Mountain Breakfast Blend K-Cups feature a light-roasted coffee with a refreshing taste that adds a jump start to every morning. Each box contains 24 single serve cups for use in your Keurig K-Cup brewer.

The subtle nutty aroma and taste, accompanied by ripe citrus fruit notes, make for a clean and refreshing cup of coffee. The only con we see – the mouthfeel is a bit thin.

The Result: On a scale from 1-5, we rate Green Mountain Breakfast Blend K-Cups a 4! It’s hard not to love this coffee – the aroma, the taste, the magical capability to awaken the senses – how could you not love Green Mountain’s Breakfast Blend?
