It has been a few months since I sat down to write a new coffee review. Last time, I took the plunge and tried one of those new 1-Step Latte cups that have started popping up in grocery stores. Well, I was so impressed with it, that when a new seasonal flavor appeared on my store shelf, I knew I...

Usually when it comes to my coffee reviews I tend to stick with pretty basic products. Single origin, blends, and even flavored coffees. Very rarely do I venture into territory that some might consider “gimmicky”. However, the latest refresh at my local grocery store has brought about the introduction of some interesting new options that I just couldn’t pass up....

Any time I see a new coffee sitting on the shelves of my local store, it is almost impossible for me to resist picking it up and giving it a try. I’ve been doing better lately (which is why there have been fewer reviews). But when I saw a new offering from Black Rifle Coffee Company, I had to give...
When it comes to flavored coffees, I’m both a hard critic and a sucker. I can’t resist snapping up every new flavor that hits the store shelves, even though I automatically expect them to fall short of my expectations. Still, every now and then I’ll come across one that is particularly good. That was the case with my latest find,...
I typically reserve my December coffee reviews for some type of seasonal release. But this year, despite my best efforts, I couldn’t find a new winter-themed coffee that seemed appealing to me. But my local grocery store has started carrying a number of brews from Black Rifle Coffee Company. So, I decided to pick up a box and give it...
October is here! As I’ve mentioned countless times on this site, autumn is my favorite time of year. I love the crisp fall air, the crunching of leaves, and sitting on the porch at sunrise with a hot cup of coffee. Typically during this time of year I try to review a seasonal coffee of some sort. But this year,...
Wow! It’s been a few months since I’ve reviewed a coffee. This is because there just haven’t been any new coffee drops at my local grocery store. But with Fall on the horizon, the seasonal coffees are starting to roll out. This year, for whatever reason, Starbucks saw fit to include a Salted Caramel Mocha flavor with this year’s Autumn...
To date, the original Donut Shop is one of my favorite coffee blends. Over the years I’ve tried a number of their flavored offerings and more often than not, I’ve ended up disappointed. Still, any time I see a new variety on the store shelf, I can’t stop myself from buying it. That’s what happened recently when I came across...
A lot of my coffee reviews focus on special seasonal varieties or off-the-wall flavors. But sometimes it is nice to just sit down with a simple blend and enjoy the coffee for its natural flavor. That’s why when I found this Dunkin’ “Signature Series” box sitting on my grocery store shelf, I knew I had to grab it. One of...

One of my favorite things to do is try different seasonal coffees. Fall is probably the best when it comes to variety. Winter is a close second. But the warmer seasons of the year don’t get quite as much love. Maybe this is because coffee is traditionally served hot, I don’t know. Spring and summer coffees are often blended with...
