I have never been an at home coffee drinker. I have always been one of those crazy people you see shelling out the dough in the Starbucks drive through – spending $5 each time I needed a coffee fix.
Recently I was approached by Keurig to see if I would be interested in being part of the K-Cup Ambassador program. I had heard some of my friends talk about how much they love their Keurig’s and K-Cup’s so I thought it would be worth checking out.
Our Keurig and a variety of K-Cups arrived a couple of weeks ago and I have turned into a “non at home coffee drinker” to one of those people you see who always has a cup of coffee in her hand. The Keurig makes it so easy to brew a cup of coffee… in a little over a minute I can have a tall cup of coffee, tea, hot chocolate and more, made the way I want it. Plus, I don’t have to get all flustered in front of the menu board as I try to decipher what size or flavor I want my latte to be.
Over the next twelve months I’ll be sharing Keurig and K-Cup giveaways and promotional discount codes special for Dine & Dish readers. In the month of May, use the code AM0001-3571 to receive a 15% discount plus free standard shipping off Keurig Home Brewers when you purchase from www.GreenMountainCoffee.com.
You can tell by my cheesy video that I’m in love with my Keurig… way more than I ever thought I would be!
Do you have a Keurig? What is your favorite K-Cup variety?
This post is sponsored by Keurig and K-Cup. However, I love my Keurig and would be shouting about it from the rooftops to share its greatness with you anyway!

Kristen, I think I was one of those friends waxing poetical about my Keurig to you. I couldn’t live without it. My favorite flavor is the Pumpkin Spice, which is a seasonal Autumn flavor. I could drink it every day though, and am hopeful that with enough love, we can turn it into a year round flavor, just like was done in the past with the Blueberry coffee I know you love so much. It was originally a Spring-seasonal flavor.
The video of you and Leah is TOO cute!
Such an adorable video! So glad you like the Keurig… 🙂
Such a cute video Kristen, I love it!! And I am loving my Keurig too. I had the same facial expression as you when I brewed my first cup…pure bliss. 🙂
What a cute and yes a tiny bit goofy but in a good way video, ha! You know I love ya so I am allowed to say goofy 😉 I have been so curious about that machine since I too have friends who have one. I usually only have coffee at home on the weekends because that is the only time my hubby makes it. During the week he is gone by the time I am running out the door so instead I do the drive through and buy my coffee a few times a week. Ahh, the stuff I could buy with that $! I have a birthday coming up so maybe I can convince the hubby into getting this for me 😉 Thanks for sharing!!
Absolutely adorable video! I do have a Keurig and I love it!
Love it!
We’ve got a Keurig, it rocks.
I love my Keurig too! I wish they would send me one! I just had to buy my second one since the first one wore out from so much use. lol!
I love our Keurig…..we have had it about a year and I rarely go out to get a latte any more….my favorite right now is the donut shop coffee and timothy’s italian roast. Also would like to try the iced coffees soon.
ok, that was just the cutest video ever!!!!!! I would LOVE a Keurig!!…I though I drink about a pot a day, but a nice fresh cup each time would be awesome!!
Oh if I had one of those I’d be even more addicted. I have 4 cups a day without one, imagine WITH one!? 🙂 Glad you love yours!
YOU and your daughter are so darn CUTE, Kristen!!! Now I want one!!!
Loved your video!
Cute video, Kristen! Do you know if any of the k-cups come with organic coffee? I’m a nature nut and like to get coffee that is grown sustainably 🙂 If not, maybe you could encourage them to consider it… xo
yes they do have organic. If you go to keurig.com you can look at all their choices! If you scroll down the left side of the page there are several ways to filter your choices.. organic is one of them!
I have a mini-cup Keurig…a present from my mom. LOVE IT. Though it hasn’t stopped me from getting those expensive coffees from you know who (Mocha Coconut Frapp anyone?) I use it all the time on weekends when I’m too lazy to get up and go outside.
My fav is “Donut Shop” coffee which I can order off Amazon.
That is the cutest video and you are right, our chidren are the best reason to drink coffee- I so need that extra energy! I love your Cafe de Doyle sign too, adorable!
I go back and forth between wanting one of these single cup machines and balking at how much more money each of the individual packs costs versus a few scoops of what we currently use. Not to mention the extra packaging and waste they generate. Even if they’re recyclable, that’s the last of the “3 R’s” that we should focus on. And I’m not even a big green advocate. But part of me thinks that if I got one of these for free I’d probably love it too.
See, and if I were an at home coffee drinker in the first place, I’d probably wonder the same thing. Right now, I’m saving money compared to my old habits 🙂
However, Keurig does have a reusable K-Cup coffee filter that would be perfect for those of you who enjoy your own scoop of ground coffee… and it the key to reducing waste. http://www.amazon.com/Keurig-K-Cup-Reusable-Coffee-Filter/dp/B000DLB2FI
That makes sense. We don’t drink much in the way of $$$ coffee (except when Starbucks offers their pumpkin spice latte – YUM!). But we do each drink a cup or two at home every day. Looking at the reviews of the reusable filter, it doesn’t look terribly useful. Lots of problems with the quality of the coffee and the product itself. I guess it’s all still pretty new. At some point something might come out that provides consistent quality without the cost of individual packets.
check out the K-kaps…http://www.my-kap.com/MYK/… I love them!! I can use the cups about 6-8 times before having to throw them away. It takes a little time to rince them out but to me it is worth it. You can use any coffee.. and reuse the cups!
Kristen….we have one at work and I love it! Try the Gingerbread Green Mountian…Ross has one too if you ever decide to come back! :o)
P.S. Where did you get that cafe de doyle sign on the wall? Is there such a place or did you have it made? Love it!! I’m thinking I need a cafe de delynn for my new place some time down the road!
Looking forward to the Houlihan girls!!

My mom almost sold our Keurig AND our Kitchenaid mixer and I nearly DIED. I said “I don’t care if they live in the basement, you can save them for my future wedding someday but DO NOT GIVE THEM AWAY!” I love the Keurig. My work has one and my daily cup of joe is half hot cocoa and half hazelnut. It saves me the trip to the fridge to steal someone’s creamer that way 🙂
Cute! We have one. I’m not a coffee drinker, but my husband sure loves it!
Cute video. I have alway wanted one of those..but am too cheap to but one right now. I feel that I waste soooo much coffee with the tradition brewing method. Maybe someday I will buy one!
Ha! What a cute video and appropriate music choice, I like that last part where you take a big whiff of the coffee and smile.
I love my Keurig so much! I have had it for over 3 years. My favorite coffee is constantly changing so I keep a large variety of k-cups on hand and enjoy having a different flavor every day. One of my all-time favorites is Golden French Toast! And because it is seasonal, I stock up!
I’ve tossed this around for months now – whether it’s worth the $$$ or not. As a retiree, it would be fabulous to brew a cup whenever ~ Just wonder about the cost of the K-cups. Seems there are so many flavors plus tea and cocoa. Wow! Perhaps I’ll put one of these on my wish list. 🙂
Thanks for sharing!
We LOVE our Keurig machines. No way would I replace mine anytime soon. Although, I have wondered about getting one of the minis to put beside my bed. Now THAT would be luxurious!
We just got one last week! I gave it to my hubby for his birthday, but shhhh, don’t tell him I really got it for me. 🙂 We love it!!! Now I can have my flavored coffee and he can have his boring extra bold brew. We can both make iced tea and cocoa. And there’s no messy grinds to clean up and throw away. We’re in heaven and can’t wait to try all the different blends! Coffee never tasted so good. I’ll be on the look out for your giveaways and promo codes! Thanks, Kristen!!
BTW, I love your video! 🙂
Cute video!
I’m not a coffee drinker. 🙁
I am having some serious coffee envy at the moment! One of these days I need to cross over the “Keurig side” …think I’m one step closer!
Darling video Kristen!
We have one at work and I absolutely love it!
Where does the $5 Starbucks coffee myth come from? At my local store, they have one $5 item, the very large chocolaty coconut frappacino thingy that’s so big, it should be shared by three good friends. Their coffee is $1.50, same as McDonalds and Dunkin’s. In fact, nearly all of their beverages are cheaper than comparable drinks at McD’s, Dunkin’s, Einsteins, or anywhere else.
Sorry for the rant, but math — our society’s general phobia towards it and our innumeracy — is my exposed raw nerve.
Quick question: is the Keurig another low pressure machine, like the Senseo or Tassimo, or high pressure, like the Nespresso?
Cheers!
Hi Steve! I usually get a Grande Skinny Caramel Latte and it is $4.83 (so rounded up, 5 bucks). I wish it was only a $1.50 here!
I am so new to at home coffee, I’m not sure, but when I googled it it appears to be a pressurized machine.
Thanks 🙂
I love my Keurig!!
My favorites are any of the Green Mountain brand! Especially their breakfast blend and pumpkin spice!
KRISTENOMGILOVETHEVIDEOSOMUCH!!
Your girl is just a doll. Can I have her? (until she cries or asks for stuff–duh)
I have been DYING for a Keurig…I think you have talked me into buying one!!
I’m having “K cup envy”. They are adorable. I’ll have to put this on my birthday list, along with the Keurig and hope my hubby notices :).
These k-cups are so fun! I love there are so many varieties 🙂
Awww…I Love my Keurig! My family gave it for me for my B-day!:) We love Donut House variety pack! Awesome Cinnamon Roll, Chocolate Glazed Donut, and their regular Donut House & Decaf is EXCELLENT! *tip it’s great to heat up hot water quickly too for that jello/bouillon when you need just a cup! Beats waiting for the tea kettle!:) ENJOY! my fellow Keurig lover! 🙂
I LOVELOVELOVE (!!!!) my Keurig! My friend bought it for me for my 40th birthday and I started using it when we moved into our newly built house. I don’t know how I drank coffee before this! 😛 My favorite is Wake Up call, Cafe Mocha, Newmanns Organic, and English Breakfast tea; my husband won’t drink anything but Donut Shop. Honestly, best invenstion EVER. I can’t WAIT until Starbucks comes out with K Cups!
Walking on Eggshells is another great Landon Pigg song. Love the K cups – darling!!!
