Coffee For Less Blog

The Keurig Coffee maker has revolutionized the way that many of us make coffee. Having a perfect cup of coffee in under a minute after the push of a button is indeed a wondrous thing. On top of efficiency and quality, Keurig offers a mind boggling array of delicious, gourmet coffees packed into the mini miracle known as the K-Cup.

With so many different varieties to choose from I can’t help to but think that it is an arduous task for many to choose a favorite K-Cup. Upon reviewing the options one must decide, breakfast blend or French roast? Columbian or Italian? Flavored or not? I suppose having the “trouble” of choosing the perfect k-cup to start your day is a pleasure within it self, but for me there is no brick wall to hit when indecision strikes.

The coffee that I can always fall back on, always trust to come through with perfect flavor and never let me down is one of character and taste, that in my opinion few other coffees can compare.

Tully’s Kona Blend boasts a slight floral flavor that I have just never found in any other coffee. Although being a medium roast Kona is velvety smooth and relatively mild. Kona is my “go to” coffee as to how it is always enjoyable and very consistent K-cup to K-cup.

Being a bit old fashioned, I do not add cream to my coffee and prefer to drink it black. I feel that this is the only way to truly taste coffee. In my opinion cream dilutes and changes the flavor of the coffee, causing one to miss important nuances of the raw unadulterated black gold that is good coffee.

For those of you transitioning to enjoying coffee in this way, Kona is a wonderful coffee to experiment with as to how it is never bitter even when enjoyed without cream or sweeteners.

If you prefer a coffee with a bit more kick, try using the “half-cup” setting on your Keurig machine instead of the full cup option, this will allow the intensity of the flavor to be a bit more present. I find this works well with Kona and other mild coffees when I am craving a specific coffee but in need of a fuller bodied brew.

All in all, Kona has everything I am looking for in an everyday coffee. Something I can look forward to and never second guess. Kona boasts a mild yet thoroughly enjoyable flavor that is unique with out being to intense. A perfect way to start the day and a great choice the whole day through, Kona will provide you with a consistent and tasty way to add pleasurable moments to the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
