Flavored K-Cups are great. You don’t have to make a whole carafe of coffee, like you do with a regular drip brewer.
When you have a Keurig brewer, you make just one cup at a time.
If at some point at the day you just love the idea of having a Hazelnut coffee, you can add a K-cup to your brewer, press one button and you’re done.
You don’t have the whole pot of coffee waiting for you, so for your next cup you can choose a regular brew, a decaf, or a different flavor.
What could be better than that? No wasted coffee, and no guilty feelings about not finishing the pot.
Best of all, if there are two or three coffee drinkers in your home, you can each get a pack of your favorite flavor.
Choose from a selection of flavored K-Cups, or buy a variety box...
More and more you'll find a lot of choice in your local supermarket. Failing that, Amazon.com offers an amazing variety of flavored K-Cup variety packs.
The variety pack is great, because it gives you the chance to try several different flavors, without having to buy a lot of different boxes.
Why flavored coffee, and not flavored syrups or creamers?
The simple answer is that buying flavored K-Cups makes life easier. Yes, you can buy regular K-Cup coffees and then buy syrups or flavored creamers. But that's just more stuff you have to buy and find a home for in your kitchen.
If you want to experiment with different flavors, get yourself a variety pack. (It makes for a great gift idea too.)
Once you have found your favorite flavor, you can buy just that one.
In our house, my wife likes Hazelnut and my daughter is developing a passion for French vanilla.
