Green Mountain Sumatran Reserve —

I have finally found a K-cup brand I like at my local store! Since i got my Keurig, I have either ordered Timothy's brand K-cups or used my pod adapter. The pod adapter has worked out pretty well, but I wanted to find a K-cup brand I could by locally. This Green Mountain Sumatran Reserve extra bold is the winner! I have tried other Green Mountain and been very disappointed. I have tried other brands as well and never gotten the rich flavor I was looking for.

Some things I like about this other than the great flavor is that it is organic, and that it is free trade. I also like that I can buy it in my town. Now K-cups are expensive, and wasteful as they go in the trash. But you can not beat the convenience! And when I am awoken at 6 am to feed the baby, I need a quick fix and I need it to taste good. Sumatran Reserve is a rich full flavored coffee with no edge or bitterness to it. I can also brew a full cup with it and it tastes perfect. Other brands I had to adjust the cup setting to get the flavor strength i needed and ended up with a tiny cup of coffee...not cool. I used twice as much with the other brands as with this Green Mountain blend.

GreenMountain Sumatran Reserve is a liquid heaven to me on a cold dark morning and I know my baby appreciates the calm alert state it puts me in!
