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

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

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!
