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

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!
