March 14, 2012.

Today is Pi Day (3.14)! As such, we are craving some delicious baked goods topped with vanilla ice cream! Just take a second to ponder that. The warm aroma, the sweet vanilla-y goodness. Well, we don’t have any pie (boo), but we have a vanilla coffee that’s sure to knock your socks off (yay)!

One of the best french vanilla k-cups on the market is Vanilla Francaise by Wolfgang Puck. We just got word that these k-cups are going to be discontinued in the very near future…quite the grim message to receive on Pi Day, indeed.

This french vanilla k-cup has loads of vanilla flavor AND aroma! The air was immediately improved with fragrant caramel and vanilla scents! It is truly a unique k-cup.

We added two little packets of Splenda, but this cup of coffee is even good all by its lonesome (or with your favorite cream and sugar). This k-cup’s days are apparently numbered, so get some while you can at Alpine Valley Coffee!

How Much is K-Cup Coffee Per Pound?: A Rebuttal.

Mon, 05 Mar 2012 15:05:00 -0500

There’s been a lot of raucous lately surrounding this article from the New York Times which states that K-Cup Coffee is way more expensive per pound than, say, a bag of artisanal coffee.

The claim is that a pound of coffee from Keurig K-Cups would cost roughly $51 per pound…and while mathematically that makes sense, that is looking at coffee through the lens of “by the pound” drinkers.

Consider this, in the last year alone, over 4 billion cups of Starbucks coffee were consumed. Also consider that most people who go to Starbucks are paying upwards of $4 per cup of the black stuff. And continue to consider that a cup of coffee from a single k-cup is roughly 60 cents per cup!

(You could drink the Starbucks k-cup and save BIG)
Granted, a single k-cup is usually not a foofy beverage with chocolate chips, caramel drizzle, whipped topping, and a logo’d cup for nothing more than bragging rights—but the point is this: We live in a world where people want the convenience of a single cup of coffee, and there is a price for that. K-Cups come in some really great varieties, and at 60 cents per cup, it makes a lot more sense than spending 99 cents at the gas station for really gross coffee, or $4 for a frozen beverage that sort of resembles coffee if you squint hard enough.

Don’t believe the hype! As always, Alpine Valley offers the cheapest k-cups on the net with quantity discounts, free shipping levels, and sales all the time!

The Keurig Vue System: What You Need to Know.

Wed, 15 Feb 2012 11:08:00 -0500

2.15.12

Keurig announced today that they will be debuting a new Keurig Machine in the coming weeks/months called The Keurig Vue.

This machine is not compatible with K-Cups and is most certainly a completely new system. Watch the video HERE!

While the Vue promises to make up for some shortcomings Keurig fans have addressed in the past (coffee temperature, coffee strength), it is unclear how this will affect current k-cup users. The patent for K-Cups and K-Cup Portion Packs ends September 16, 2012, so many are speculating the Vue Packs potential to replace the demand for K-Cups.

What we do know in the meantime is that here at Alpine Valley, we are still selling K-Cups and at a new super low rate of $13.95 per 24-count box. As low as $12.75 per box when you buy in bulk! Try some today at www.alpinevalleycoffee.com !

Huge Tassimo Recall -- Single-Serve Alternatives for Users

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 13:37:58 -0500

As many of you well know, there was a HUGE recall of Tassimo single-serve brewing systems due to machine malfunctions resulting in burns.

As an alternative to using those machines, we urge you to look into CBTL (Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf) Brewers and Keurig Brewers. These top-of-the-line brewers have a track record of excellence and competitively priced coffee per cup!

The best place to purchase these products (and for more information) is at www.alpinevalleycoffee.com

Golden French Toast K-Cups--A Review

Wed, 18 Jan 2012 09:06:00 -0500

January 18, 2012.

This is the first installment of “WWDW” of 2012. Happy New Year! If you’re still keeping your resolutions this far into the year (or if you’ve already tapped out), we’ve got a scrumptious alternative take on a breakfast favorite!

Sometimes you just want something warm, sweet, and syrupy in the morning. Sometimes, too, you just want to fit into your favorite jeans. Keurig has come up with a seasonally appropriate compromise!

Golden French Toast k-cups have a strong aroma and are a delicious light roast blend with the most accurate flavoring in a k-cup we’ve ever tasted! It’s no surprise that these cups are our most popular seasonal flavor.

This is the perfect “cozy-up-in-a-blanket-on-a-chilly-winter-night” coffee! We adore this flavor with cinnamon creamer and whatever sugar or sugar substitute you prefer! Unbelievably delicious!

Golden French Toast K-cups are a limited time product so if you want to try some, get them HERE!

What's the Difference Between Bold K-Cups and Xtra Bold K-Cups?

Fri, 30 Dec 2011 11:04:03 -0500

If there’s one extremely confusing thing about K-Cups for Keurig Machines, it has to be the distinction of K-Cups as Bold or Xtra-Bold.

As you know, from reading our helpful article about bold coffee, bold is not about the roast of the bean but about the flavor therein. There are mild bold coffees and dark roast bold coffees. Bold describes the robust flavor of a cup of joe.

Here’s where the confusion comes in: Xtra Bold K-Cups. Xtra bold k-cups simply refer to the weight in grams of coffee per k-cup. Remember the days of “Mr. Coffee” when if you wanted a stronger cup of coffee you’d put an excess of the ground coffee into the filter? This is the same situation. We aren’t quite sure why Green Mountain and Keurig decided to use the term “bold” to describe it, but we have a few photos to demonstrate what the difference really is:

Though it is still hard to tell in the pictures, the product labeled “Extra Bold” is heavier and has more grounds per k-cup than the bold coffee on the left. So now you know!

Halloween Coffee Recipe!

Fri, 28 Oct 2011 13:04:00 -0400

As you should be well aware, Halloween is this coming Monday. What you should also be aware of is that Halloween is fun AND exhausting. Want to add a little less fear and a little more fun to your work day? Try this spin on a delicious cup of joe:

Ah yes, fun sized candies. Is there anything greater in the world? They give you all the sweet nostalgia of Halloweens past, but don’t add much to your waistline (It’s Halloween, treat yourself)!

By simply adding two fun sized Milky Ways (or other fun sized candies of your choosing) to your cup of coffee, you create an 80 calories beverage (not too shabby) that is filled with caramel, chocolatey, nougat-y goodness!

We recommend putting the candy bars in the cup before you brew, and helping the melting along with a spoon or fork. There will be some nougat chunks, but we like to think it only helps! Give it a shot and have a Happy Halloween!

Do You Need A Keurig Machine? Things to Consider Before You Buy!

Tue, 25 Oct 2011 15:30:00 -0400

Keurig is the big kid on the coffee campus right now, and with their ever-expanding line of delicious k-cups for Keurig brewers, it might be tempting to jump the gun and buy one for yourself or as a gift. Before you buy, check out our check list of factors to consider if you’re in the market :

1. How many people will be using your machine?

The Keurig machine is great for most office and home sizes. Keurig carries a wide variety of machines—from the single pour over B31 (perfect for college students or cubicles) to the B200 (fantastic for offices of 15-30 people). There are sizes in between as well.

2. How much do you currently spend on coffee, tea, or hot cocoa?

If you go to one of those chain coffee shops, you’re looking at spending upwards of $4 per cup of the black stuff. Keurig is a great alternative! For roughly 60 cents per k-cup portion pack, you get a hot delicious cup of coffee. If you like your drink a little more “foofy” (technical term), purchasing a gourmet creamer and sugar/sugar alternative will still be less expensive than what you’d shell out over a year’s time at a fast-coffee establishment.

3. How environmentally conscious are you?

Unfortunately, Keurig K-Cup portion packs are not yet biodegradeable. However, if you are interested in going a more eco-friendly route, Pods might be a way to go! Pod machines are priced similarly to Keurig machines and the pods actually run cheaper and come in a slew of flavors. Get both at Alpine Valley Coffee

4. How strong do you take your coffee?

Objectively speaking, if you want a strong cup of coffee or prefer espresso strength, Keurig is probably not right for you. The coffee that Keurig produces mostly appeals to the medium roast drinker—the most commonly found coffees in offices and homes. If you need something a bit bolder, we suggest the CBTL machine and related capsules. The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf machines make a delicious espresso with a very impressive crema. The CBTL also has tea capsules and hot chocolate sachets.

5. How much space do you require?

Keurig machines provide an economical use of space and can fit most dorm, home, and office kitchen areas. If space is your concern, worry no more!

If you’re ready to make the leap into the single-serve coffee world, don’t hesitate to check out Alpine Valley Coffee!

What is pink?

Pink is what happens when red meets white. It’s what happens when the darkness meets the dawn. It’s what happens when Breast Cancer meets its match. Today, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month starting, we’re drinking Pink Hot Chocolate from McSteven’s!

This hot chocolate is actually white hot chocolate with a little bit of pink thrown in. If anyone ever asks you what pink tastes like, after drinking this, you can tell them, “DELICIOUS!”

We’d like to also mention that this pink hot chocolate is not just for women. Men love it too! And there’s nothing more macho than a man proudly supporting Breast Cancer Awareness and drinking pink hot cocoa.

You can get some truly NOM-worthy Pink Hot Cocoa for just $6.95 for a 5 pack at alpinevalleycoffee.com!

And with Fall in full swing, you’re going to want something chocolatey and delicious to warm up to in the morning. This is that beverage!

Inbru Coffee Flavorings: A Review!

Thu, 29 Sep 2011 10:56:05 -0400

We’re welcoming INBRU coffee flavors to our inventory! You’ve never had flavored coffee like this before! Made from Natural California Rice Hulls, the tough parchment surrounding and protecting each grain of rice as it grows and develops—Inbru Coffee Flavors are a truly unique treat!

Adding just a small amount of Inbru to the ground coffee in your brew basket is all it takes to flavor a cup or a pot of delicious coffee at home or work! Each jar contains enough Inbru to flavor 80 five to six ounce cups of coffee. The hot water and gentle agitation of the brew process release the Inbru flavors as the coffee is extracted. Inbru doesn’t dissolve in the coffee—it remains in the filter with coffee grounds. Inbru is brewed flavor!

An added bonus that we love here at Alpine Valley is that the PET plastic container, scoop and lid are completely recyclable!

We have 6 delicious flavors available including Danish Pastry, Chocolate Fudge, Crème Caramel, Vanilla Bean, Hazelnut, and Butterscotch Drop! Add some inbru to your favorite coffees today!
