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!

The days are getting shorter, leaves are falling like rain, and coffee is REALLY hitting the spot; Fall is here! And at Alpine Valley, we know nothing says “Fall” quite like Pumpkin Spice k-cups!

According to Green Mountain , you should, “Indulge in the fragrance and flavors of the season! Pumpkin Spice offers the experience of fresh-baked pumpkin pie — redolent with warm spice notes and creamy body — in this luscious Limited Edition coffee.”

This k-cup is completely amazing! The flavor is definitely more apparent and accurate than most flavored coffees and it really does taste like pumpkin pie! Enjoy this with a little big of cinnamon creamer and sugar (or sugar substitute if you so choose) and thank us later! For all this deliciousness and more, Green Mountain Pumpkin Spice K-Cups are What We’re Drinking Wednesday! Get some HERE!
We can’t wait to try this delicious recipe!
On Friday June 3rd Green Mountain Coffee announced that effective immediately, they would be increasing prices on all brands of K-cups by another 15%. Because this is the 3rd substantial price increase in 9 months, I had a very unsettling weekend. Didn’t they just increase their prices just a few short months ago? Who does this price increase affect? What is Green Mountain going to do with the prices on their website? Who made these decisions? Their letter offered the usual explanations: that coffee is at an all time high and other costs, like freight, are increasing. Are these valid reasons?
As details unfolded shortly after the receipt of the email, I learned that this price increase was happening through every distribution channel including Retailers and Keurig Authorized Distributors like Alpine Valley Coffee. In addition, I also learned Green Mountain had in fact increased their K-cup prices on their Internet site to $16.49 for a 24-count box. While the fact that “everyone is in the same boat” made me feel better temporarily, I realized that a). We have to go through the undesirable task of notifying you about a change in our prices and b). Once again, we have to roll up our sleeves and figure out the best pricing structure for our many valued customers. Our mission is to continue to keep all of our valued Alpine Valley Customers happy for years to come. Some of you like to buy at our 4-Box Price Level (the minimum quantity to receive the free shipping at $45), and some like to buy at our 12-Box Level, the best pricing available anywhere on the internet! Keeping everyone satisfied at all levels is our number one priority.
The following will be our new pricing structure as of June 20th:
1-5 (24 packs): $14.95
6-9 (24 packs): $13.75
10-11 (24 packs): $13.25
12+ (24 packs): $12.75
The good news for you, as Alpine Valley Coffee Customers, is that if you are looking for alternative single-cup brewers, we will be rolling some out very soon! Stay tuned as Alpine Valley will be announcing the addition of two great alternatives to the Keurig! While the Keurig is an incredible coffee machine and the K-cup has dominated the single cup market the last few years, I know that new, innovative brewers are being introduced. If you prefer a less expensive cup of coffee, or you simply need a stronger taste than the K-Cup Coffees offer, you will want to look into these new products!
Thank You very much for your business. Please don’t hesitate to give us your thoughts or concerns—feedback is always welcome.

Sincerely, Charlie Hall, CEO Alpine Valley Coffee
