The Keurig Vue System: What You Need to Know.
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 !
Golden French Toast K-Cups—A Review
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!

Wondering What the Deal is with “Bold” Coffee? We’ve Got You Covered!
Hey there! I’m Coffee Cup, and it’s a pleasure to bring to you my passion for my namesake—coffee!
I’m often asked about the different definitions used to describe my kind. We are very misunderstood in the hot beverage world. For instance, my friend Cupp’O Tea has very few terms associated with his family. They are described as bulk, bagged, sweetie,hot or iced tea. All are fairly self explanatory, and few questions are asked of them.
For me, it’s quite a different story.
We come in so many varieties, with so many different adjectives to describe us that it can get sort of confusing. We come in hot and iced, not to mention light roast, medium roast, flavored, or dark roast. You can order us in whole bean, drip grind, espresso grind, fine grind, Turkish grind etc.
The absolute most confusing term is BOLD. I get asked all the time “what is bold coffee”? I myself am a very bold cup, but it’s more than personality!
Does it describe a certain roast, or a blend, or a grind? Does it have more caffeine than regular coffee?
Bold coffee can come in many varieties, and has nothing to do with the roast, the blend or the amount of caffeine. The term “bold” describes an intense, rich and robust flavor that has a full body. Bold coffee is about the flavor. There are light and medium roast bolds, as well as dark roast bolds.
It’s all a matter of taste, and may take a few trials to discover your favorite. When you feel like you can outlast that familiar battery rabbit… you may want to switch to decaf, and there’s a bold for that too!
Green Mountain announces 3rd Price Increase in 9 months
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

There’s just about nothing cuter in the coffee world than k-cups for Keurig brewers. The uniquely colored lids really do brighten an otherwise neutral colored world of coffee. The appeal is sweetened even more when we receive seasonal k cups! Enter: Green Mountain Coffee’s Limited Edition Island Coconut ® Fair Trade Certified ™ K-Cups. They’re what we’re drinking today!
With an admittedly picky palette when it comes to coffee, I attempted to recreate a candy bar taste in this coffee. By simply adding some chocolate creamer, this summer treat transformed into a hot, delicious, liquid candy. Chocolate and coconut are a delicious pair, and are even more delicious with the taste of coffee. I will certainly be sad to see these cups go after summer! Get the K-Cups here: http://www.alpinevalleycoffee.com/green-mountain-kcups-fair-trade-island-coconut-10-pack-p-558.html and let us know what your favorite combinations are!
Coffee Cup is our resident guru of all things perk. This sassy cup of joe knows that the difference between Columbian and Brazilian is more than geographic— and will make sure that you know, too! We hope you take your coffee strong, because strength and knowledge is what she’s serving up! Have questions? Ask Coffee Cup!
Who We Are
The short answer is “Alpine Valley Coffee, Headquartered in Cincinnati, OH.”
The long answer is much more complicated. In this 21st century world, nothing is as post modern as our individual food and beverage choices. The idea that “if you don’t like what I’m drinking, you can get your own” is something that attracted our attention immediately, and has stuck with our business vision ever since. There is no “one size fits all” coffee out there, and with the help of single pod coffee products we have been able to help our customers realize their individual coffee needs. We have the lowest prices on the web for k cups, Keurig products, and other pod-products— and all of those deals (and some great sweepstakes and giveaway info) is located on our website at http://www.alpinevalleycoffee.com
On the local front, we do Office Coffee Services (OCS) to large and small companies alike. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, whenever—coffee is the best!
From the consistent recreational caffeine user, to the coffee newbies who are just getting their feet wet in the java world—Welcome! We have something for everybody.
We’re dedicated to keeping you in the loop with what we’re testing, trying, and loving here at Alpine Valley Coffee.
