Never Run Out of Coffee with the Cross Country Cafe Subscribe and Save Program and Coffee of the Month Club!

While perusing the Cross Country Cafe blog recently (did you know that they have a blog? You'll find all sorts of recipes, reviews, information, coupons and more!) I came across a 'coffee quote' that got right to the point:

For anyone else who is a coffee addict, you know the feeling! It's not to say that we don't love our families and friends and more, but the idea of starting the day without coffee, well, that's just nonsense.

Which is why just thinking about running out of coffee sends a shiver down my spine. Reaching into my cupboard and not finding a K-cup ready to pop into my Keurig? No. Just... no.

Café Bustelo Espresso and Colombian Coffee Now Available in K-cups!

After the amount of time that I've spent getting to know companies and brands over the years, it often takes a lot to grab my attention. But one surefire way? Introduce me to an unfamiliar company that offers delicious coffee!

Can you ever have too many amazing coffee options? I think not.

Therefore, thanks to Cross Country Cafe, I was thrilled to learn about Café Bustelo and their debut of Café Bustelo Espresso style blend and Café Bustelo Colombian roast K-cup coffees!

Started by Gregorio Bustelo and his wife in the Bronx in 1931, Café Bustelo is now world renowned as having been expert gourmet espresso coffee roasters for more than 80 years. They are now the number 1 selling Cuban coffee in the U.S.!

As Café Bustelo is a favorite of coffee-drinkers from coast to coast, the introduction of K-cups and the ability to taste their sophisticated Cuban coffee right from the Keurig has been met with overwhelming happiness from fans everywhere.

How was it possible that I had been out of the loop for so long? It was time to try out Café Bustelo for myself!

Right away I was intrigued by the colorful designs and packaging of the Café Bustelo boxes. Combine that with the way that both flavors of this coffee were receiving rave reviews left and right and it didn't take long before I was pulling out K-cups to begin brewing.

Immediately I appreciated that the Café Bustelo Espresso roast is able to provide a dark, flavorful blend without any sort of fancy espresso equipment. You can almost taste how robust and strong this is just by looking at it!

I always worry that dark roast coffees might be a little bitter, but this Espresso roast somehow blends the dark with the medium in their grounds and ends up with a smooth, robust taste that is full-bodied without being too strong to enjoy.

In fact, once I had added my usual cream and sugar, I found that the flavor of this coffee was so amazing that it instantly had me addicted and I found myself tipping my mug to get every last drop. LOVE!!

For a slightly less intense cup of coffee, however, the Café Bustelo Colombian provides more of a classic flavor that is medium roasted to perfection.

Full-bodied and strong, medium roast, irresistible aroma, and a substantial, delicious flavor? I really couldn't ask for much more and love that Café Bustelo has made it so easy to enjoy an amazing cup of coffee like you would expect from a coffeehouse, but instead is made right in your own kitchen in a minute or two!

Whether you strictly enjoy your coffee in the morning or reach for a cup or two (or more) throughout the day, you'll love the ability to have sophisticated tasting Cuban coffee anytime thanks to Café Bustelo Espresso and Colombian K-cup coffees. I am definitely joining the ranks of super-fan now that I have had a chance to experience exactly why everyone loves Café Bustelo!

Head over to Cross Country Cafe to give them a try today!

Cool Off with Delicious and Affordable Iced Coffee and Tea from Your Keurig!

As much as I love my coffee, with the heat of the summer upon us, I'll admit that a steaming hot cup doesn't always sound quite as appealing as it does as when the weather is cooler. Not exactly what I want to treat myself with in the middle of the afternoon when it already feels like 90° out, you know?

Fortunately, Cross Country Cafe has plenty of ways to take your Keurig to the next level with Brew Over Ice K-cups for refreshing ice cold coffees and tea!

A consistent favorite of coffee-drinkers new and old, iced coffees and iced teas are the perfect way to enjoy the smooth, delicious flavors for hot weather.

But why spend a fortune (not to mention the time and hassle of) going to the coffeehouse when you don't have to? Instead, pick up a box of Keurig K-cups and you'll be prepared for icy tastiness whenever the urge strikes you!

The Original Donut Shop Coffee has been brewing rich, delectable coffees for years. Therefore, it isn't a surprise that Donut Shop has provided a way to create a perfectly brewed, perfectly sweetened, perfectly creamy iced coffee to enjoy all summer long.

These Sweet & Creamy Nutty Hazelnut K-cups are just so simple! Pop one in your Keurig brewer, brew over ice (instead of into your mug) and enjoy! The result? A delicious iced coffee fresh from your kitchen without the wait, the drive or the huge price tag!

Using the 6-oz setting that Donut Shop recommended (you can, of course, also choose a different size depending on your strength preference), I love that these K-cups provide the rich and creamy flavor of coffee but with the cool, refreshing addition of ice.

These K-cups include a dash of cream and sweetener (you can always add more, of course!) and definitely have an unmistakable, strong hazelnut flavor. For those people that are fans of nutty flavored coffees, this will surely be a hit!

All together, Donut Shop has provided a cup of fresh, flavorful gourmet iced coffee that is great to start the day, kick back with in the afternoon or wind down with in the evening. They're a little too nut-flavored for my liking, but again, fans of flavored coffee should give these a try for a tasty summer treat. Here's to summer!

If you're already a fan of The Original Donut Shop and their flavored coffee, you'll love that their delectable K-cups are made to brew over ice for summer enjoyment. Or, if you haven't tried iced coffee (or iced tea) at home with your Keurig before, I highly recommend picking up one of the many varieties available from Cross Country Cafe to give it a try today!

Green Mountain Summer Sunrise Blend Limited Edition K-Cup Coffee {Review}

For decades manufacturers and artists have tried to capture the essence of nature to put it into products for consumers' enjoyment. Paintings of bolts of lightening or the wonders of outer space, candles with the aroma of ocean waves or tropical jungle mists, sound machines depicting a bubbling stream or the croak of a bullfrog, and more.

But what about the taste of nature — in particular a sunrise? We can close our eyes and imagine the beautiful colors, hear the early morning crickets or even smell the warming of the dew on the grass, but taste? How what sort of flavor would that early morning scene provide?

There's no doubt in my mind that Green Mountain Coffee has accomplished it spot on with their Green Mountain Summer Sunrise Blend limited edition K-cup coffee!

A limited edition, fair trade certified coffee, Green Mountain Summer Sunrise Blend is a seasonal roast that only makes an appearance in late spring. We all know the feeling of fresh, bright sunshine to start the day, so why not embrace the same cheerful warmth in our favorite mug?

I was intrigued to try Summer Sunrise Blend simply after hearing the name, but then when I saw that it is medium roast, is made from 100% Arabica beans, and that it contains citrus notes and provides a sweet, clean finish, I was even more excited to start brewing.

I'm the first to admit that I'm not always the most cheery person in the morning, so taking a deep breath of this aromatic, seasonal blend has been a great way to make me feel a little more sunny.

I love that Green Mountain Coffee created this special coffee to reflect the best aspect of the season and that the essence of summer is found in each sip!

Mmm, mmmm! Full-bodied, medium roast, rich aroma, and a smooth, almost-creamy flavor with the tiniest hint of sweetness? I really couldn't ask for much more and am looking forward to waking up to these K-cups for as long as they are available!

If you're already a fan of Green Mountain Coffee (who isn't?), make sure to pick up some Summer Sunrise Blend delectable K-cup coffee (head over to the fabulous Cross Country Cafe for a great deal!) for easy and delicious brewing in your Keurig. I'm telling you, it's like a slice of uplifting sunshine right in your mug every morning!

Eight O'Clock Dark Italian Roast and Colombian Peaks K-Cup Coffee {Review}

In the same way that my kids get excited when we discover a new brand of toys, when I'm introduced to an unfamiliar company that offers delicious coffees, life is good. Can you ever have too many amazing coffee options? I think not.

Therefore, when I heard that the one and only Cross Country Cafe had debuted two new additions to their collection of Eight O'Clock Coffee, there was no doubt that I needed to give their Dark Italian Roast and Colombian Peaks K-cups a try!

Known for crafting their whole bean and ground coffees using only high quality, 100% Arabica coffee, Eight O'Clock has been serving up deliciousness since 1859 (making me wonder yet again how it took this long for me to hear about them).

It was time to brew up a mug or two to see just how much expertise Eight O'Clock master roasters truly do have!

Right away I appreciated the rich aroma of the Eight O'Clock Dark Italian Roast and, as soon as my Keurig stopped, it was evident as to why Dark was in this coffee's title. You can almost taste how robust and strong this is just by looking at it!

I tend to be hesitant over many dark roast coffees, as I often find them a little bitter. But that wasn't the case with this Dark Italian Roast at all, as it instead has a smooth, robust taste that is full-bodied without being too strong to enjoy. I added my usual cream and sugar and couldn't have been much more pleased with the result!

On days when I am in the mood for a slightly less intense cup of coffee, however, the Eight O'Clock Colombian Peaks has quickly become my go-to K-cup. This medium roast coffee is a winner from start to finish!

Full-bodied, medium roast, rich aroma, and a smooth, velvety flavor? I really couldn't ask for much more!

But, wait. How about winning some of this amazing Eight O'Clock Coffee so that it can be enjoyed for FREE? That's exactly what you can do by entering Cross Country Cafe's K-cup Coffee Giveaway... and not only will the winner receive one box of Colombian Peaks, but FOUR.

What are you waiting for? This giveaway is only on through April 30, 2015, so go enter today!

If you're already a fan of Eight O'Clock Coffee, you'll love that their delectable coffee is available in K-cups for even easier brewing. Or, if you haven't tried these before but are a devoted Keurig user, I recommend picking up a box (head over to the fabulous Cross Country Cafe for a great deal!) to give them a try today!

Guilt-free Indulgence with Krispy Kreme and Cinnabon K-cup Coffees {Sale!}

We all have our strengths and our weaknesses when it comes to avoiding sweets and eating healthy. But no matter if you can't say no to anything chocolate (me!), crave salty snacks 24/7, or simply find yourself returning to the vending machine for one more candy bar throughout the day, we're all left with the same feeling of guilt.

What's the deal, taste buds? Why do you have to go for the things that make my brain (and waistline) so unhappy?

Fortunately, there is a happy solution that not only satisfies my sweet tooth but my morning coffee addiction in the form of the rich and delicious Krispy Kreme Smooth and Cinnabon Classic Cinnamon Roll light roast coffees from Cross Country Cafe.

No, your eyes are not deceiving you.

If you didn't know that you can have the delicious taste of Krispy Kreme's famous coffee or the freshly baked cinnamon rolls at Cinnabon made right in the comfort of your own kitchen, you've been missing out.

I'm telling you, the aroma alone from these K-cups is enough to start anyone's day off right and if you are assuming that they might taste sickly sweet and flavored, that's not the case. They're delicious!

What is it about donut shops that they seem to also know how to brew the best coffee?

Krispy Kreme is definitely not new to the world of coffee (a fact known by the masses of mega fans that they have from coast to coast), but their partnership with Keurig to debut their coffee in K-cup form has made coffee-lovers everywhere rejoice!

Currently available in regular and decaf, Krispy Kreme Smooth is an aptly-named light roast coffee that delights your senses from the first sip.

The aroma is strong and divine, the color is rich and deep, and the flavor is delightfully smooth. I always add a bit of cream to my coffee and found that the addition made this cup even more velvety and creamy than it began. I absolutely love it!

At the same time, I've been thrilled that Cinnabon partnered with the experts at Green Mountain Coffee to produce Cinnabon Classic Cinnamon Roll Keurig K-cup coffee since its introduction. The collision of tastes in every cup goes perfectly with the ease and convenience of single serve coffee!

I love the way that the cinnamon/sugar/vanilla flavor is smooth and tasty but not overpowering enough that it is too sweet to be enjoyable. This light roast coffee has just the right amount of Cinnabon cinnamon, brown sugar and frosting swirled throughout that the result is pretty much irresistible!

If you're a fan of Krispy Kreme coffee or the deliciousness of Cinnabon, you'll love that these coffees are available in K-cups for everyday or special occasions. But you know that you don't spend more than you have to, right? Instead it always makes more sense to head over to Cross Country Cafe!

As well as their low prices ensuring that you'll always get a great deal, they're currently having a sale on these exact Krispy Kreme and Cinnabon K-cup coffees!

Valid through March 31, 2015 or while supplies last, just enter the coupon code 15offkkcinn313 and you'll receive an extra 15% off. That makes your coffee taste even better, now doesn't it?

Warm Up Winter with Green Mountain Coffee Golden French Toast K-Cups {Review}

While I don't always believe the phrase Absence makes the heart grow fonder as being completely accurate (I've "lost" clothes in my closet and typically don't yearn more for them, I just forget that I own them!), I do think that it is quite apt when it comes to foods.

After all, would pumpkin spice lattes be so incredibly popular if they were available all year long instead of just in the fall? Would you really be so inclined to have a glass of eggnog during the holidays if you could also have it in June?

Similarly, while I'm typically a standard, unflavored coffee drinker, when winter rolls around my taste buds know that it is time to get excited for Green Mountain Coffee Golden French Toast K-cups!

Perfect for getting a jump on a cold, blustery weekday or for enjoying on a lazy weekend morning, Green Mountain Coffee has created a much-loved flavor that is in high demand year after year. If you think that Limited Edition doesn't mean anything, don't get in the way of someone on the hunt for their Fair Trade Golden French Toast K-cups!

After all, if one little cup can provide the flavor and satisfaction of a full plate of warm, buttered French toast sprinkled with cinnamon and drizzled with sweet maple syrup, how could you not get a bit addicted?

From the moment this coffee starts brewing, the air is filled with the familiar, comforting smell of French toast and, in less than a minute, one perfectly brewed cup of Golden French Toast coffee is waiting in my mug.

Mmm, mmm, mmmmm!

From the first sip, I always appreciate that the maple syrup flavor is smooth and tasty but not overpowering enough that it is too sweet to be enjoyable. This coffee truly embodies the essence of French toast without being so much so that I can't down my cup and want to return for another (and possibly another)!

Instead, this light roast coffee has just enough hints of cinnamon, brown sugar and maple syrup swirled throughout that the result is irresistible and a bit indulgent. Coffee drinkers could also easily customize a mug of Golden French Toast by adding any number of flavored creamers to change things up even more — vanilla, hazelnut, caramel pecan... the list is endless!

If you're a fan of French toast (are there people who aren't?), you'll love that this unique coffee is available now — but remember that it is Limited Edition this season so I recommend picking up a box to give it a try today!

But don't spend more than you have to, head over to Cross Country Cafe! Their low prices ensure that you can receive a 24-count box of Green Mountain Coffee French Toast Keurig K-cup coffee for only $11.99 while supplies last. That's quite a deal!

Are you excited for Golden French Toast coffee this season?

Spiced Indulgence in Twinings of London Chai Latte and Vanilla Chai Latte K-Cups {Review}

While I have made it no secret that I am completely addicted to coffee, that doesn't necessarily mean that it is the only beverage to ever fill my mug. It's good to have a little bit of variety in your life, right?

In warm weather, I might use my Keurig to brew up a tall glass of lemonade or a tasty flavored ice tea. But when the temperatures drop, I often want to turn to K-cups that will provide warmth and flavor, resulting in a tasty indulgence created at the press of a button (and for far less than it would cost if I was to head to a coffee shop).

Which is why I was excited to hear that Cross Country Cafe had made that even easier and more delicious with the introduction of two new flavors by Twinings of London: Chai Latte and French Vanilla Chai Latte!

Taking the steamed milk from a regular latte drink and mixing it with a spiced tea instead of the typical espresso, a Chai Latte ends up being the perfect mix of warmth, soothing, lightly spiced tastiness that tends to please both coffee and tea drinkers alike.

For me, Twinings is the quintessential pro at anything and everything that has to do with tea, so I couldn't wait to try out their Chai Latte varieties right at home!

I'm a fan of just about everything with vanilla, so I opted to try the French Vanilla Chai Latte first and brewed it using the largest setting (as I do with 99% of all of my K-cups).

In less than a minute, the amazing aroma of this drink filled the air and my mug was steaming with a mix of brown sugar, black tea, cinnamon, vanilla, cream, milk and more. The smell is truly divine!

If you prefer a more bold, deep flavor to your Chai Latte, I would recommend using the medium size brew option on your Keurig... but for me, this was just right!

I am not a spice expert by any means, but I found that Twinings had clearly found just the right blend of all of the flavors in their French Vanilla Chai Latte. I could distinguish the cardamom and cloves from the cinnamon and the addition of the vanilla flavoring (which was not overpowering) added just enough sweetness. Yum!

When I returned to give the traditional Chai Latte a try, I initially thought that I might not enjoy it as much without the vanilla, but was proven wrong from the first sip.

I'm not sure that Twinings could have made their Chai Latte any better! Again the spices were blended just right so as none were too strong and again the addition of the milk and cream makes the whole thing creamy and smooth. Whereas I only drink my coffee in the mornings, I haven't found a time of day yet that Twinings' Chai and Vanilla Chai Lattes don't hit the spot!

Added bonus? A single Chai Latte K-cup only contains 50 calories and a French Vanilla Chai Latte has only 60, so I don't at all feel guilty about indulging with either one!

If you're a Chai Latte fan, you'll love that Twinings has made both of these delectable types available in K-cups for even easier brewing. Or, if you haven't tried these before but are a devoted Keurig user, head over to Cross Country Cafe to give them a try!

Or maybe you'd rather WIN some instead? To celebrate the arrival of Twinings Chai and Vanilla Chai Latte K-cups, Cross Country Cafe is giving away four full size boxes of each to one lucky winner! Simply head over to their K-cup giveaway through January 31, 2015 and, with a few clicks, you'll be entered for a chance to have eight boxes of deliciousness on their way to you!
