For all of the followers of K Cup Coffee info I have decided on a new format for the coffee reviews that I have been doing. I will try to write at least two K Cup reviews a month(down the road we might change this, since nothing is set in stone as of right now). Each review will be an informal type of review that consist of two to five coffees. I thought of making the reviews formal but decided against it, as I want the reviews to beneficial for the everyday coffee drinker. If you have any suggestions for this site feel free to leave a comment and I will see what I can do to accommodate your requests. Now that I have gotten that out of the way, lets move on to what coffee I have been drinking lately. Over the last few days I have been enjoying my morning k cups fix,  from Tully’s Coffee.  I picked coffees from similar origins and the results were surprisingly different. Hope you enjoy!

Tully’s Coffee

Having the privilege of growing up in the northwest one of my favorite cities for drinking coffee, has always been Seattle. I have visited numerous coffee shops in Seattle and have found many I enjoy and frequent as often as I can. One that I have tried on more than one occasion is Tully’s Coffee. Tully’s Coffee opened their first store in 1992 in the Seattle area and have been roasting great coffee ever since. They are small batch roaster of specialty coffee and take pride in their Seattle coffee heritage. Tully’s has always been obsessed with uncovering the true potential in each and every coffee that they roast. Just recently I received the opportunity to try out some of their K- Cup Coffee. Here are some notes of the coffees I was able to taste.

Tully’s Breakfast Blend

The origins of this coffee comes from the countries of Colombia and Uganda. Upon the first taste of this coffee I experienced a rush of floral and light sweet undertones tones. I felt this coffee faded a little in the finish, but overall was a pleasant cup. I would definitely not have a problem starting my morning out with this coffee.

Tully’s Madison Blend

This blend of coffee is made up of coffee from the regions of Colombia, Uganda, and Guatemala. This is an uniquely balanced cup that is deep and rich in taste. This a bold coffee with a great mouth feel and a lingering after taste that made me want a second cup.

Tully’s French Roast

The underlying common coffee in this review was Ugandan, and this blend is no different. The regions that the beans originate from in this blend are Uganda and Guatemala. This coffee is roasted at a french roast level and is bold bold bold! From the first sip you can detect a smokey taste that is very intense and lingers a long time. The most amazing characteristic about this coffee is it has a silky finish that is very pleasant. For all you dark roast lovers this k cup coffee is for you!

Coffee People

One of the newest manufactures of the K Cup is a company located in Eugene Oregon called Coffee People. Having grew up in the northwest I am very familiar with the Coffee People brand as it is wide spread through out Oregon. Having experienced their coffee before made the decision easier to try their k cups out. I was definitely impressed and would recommend their coffee to anyone. Here are a couple of my favorite coffees from the Coffee People.

Black Tiger- Black tiger is a full bodied coffee, roasted on the dark side. Lots of earth tones in this coffee, which I am a big fan of. This coffee definitely had a caffeine kick to it. I also found it on the web listed at $12.95 for a 24 count box making this coffee affordable. What a great morning coffee! Try it out today.

Donut Shop- This coffee is advertised as a morning coffee but I could drink it all day long. It is a medium roasted blend, that is a sweet tasting, full bodied coffee. I did not get the caffeine kick from this coffee like I did with the Black Tiger, but nevertheless I enjoyed it even more. I tend to be partial to coffees that are sweet and pleasant to drink throughout the day. If that is what you are looking for then this coffee is for you.

Caribou Coffee

Caribou Coffee was founded in 1992 in Minneapolis Minnesota.  Today this the second largest company owned coffee franchise, with over 500 locations in 16 states as well as a few locations outside of the United States. When Caribou Coffee came out with their k cup coffee line I figured I had to try  some coming from one of the leaders in the coffee industry today.

Colombia- Once I took my first sip of this coffee I was hooked! In the Colombia state of Huila nestled in the southern region is the town called Timana. Timana is know for its wonderful coffees and this coffee roasted by Caribou is no different. From the first drip brewed you could smell a delicate floral aroma that permeated the air. Upon tasting this medium bodied coffee you could taste sweet caramel notes followed by smooth roasted nuts. Truly one of my favorites to say the least.

I will be continuing my K Cup reviews of different blends of K Cup coffee . I hope you look forward to trying these coffees out as much as I do. Until next time.
