It’s a new dawn for my Nerd Fuel reviews. In short, I have leveled up from drip-style K-Cup pods. I’ve now fully embraced the higher-quality Nespresso “lifestyle”. You see, I’ve been a coffee freak ever since I was a teenager. Back then, it was not unusual to find me haunting the corner of the local…
Here’s a coffee review I never thought I’d be writing. Today I want to talk about my latest obsession… mushroom coffee. Yes. You read that right. If you’re like me, you’ve probably seen advertisements for this stuff online. The first time I saw the words “mushroom” and “coffee” together, the thought of such a combination…
It’s been a little while since I wrote a coffee review. To be honest, the reason it’s been so long is because I haven’t come across any new coffee varieties that I’ve wanted to try. That is until I found this on my local grocery shelf; Chocolate Dipped Pistachio from Green Mountain Coffee. It’s been…
My last coffee review was for a limited edition Starbucks release. So, I figured, why not try yet another Starbucks variety. That’s when I found a brand new addition to their core lineup sitting on my grocery shelf; Sunsera Blend. The reason this coffee caught my eye is because it is a blond roast. My…
You know me. I’m a sucker for new flavors and varieties. That’s why I get excited every time I come across a limited time release on the coffee aisle. Today’s review is no exception. Recently, I was browsing the grocery store and I saw a new limited edition coffee from Starbucks, their Mountain Blend. So,…
I tell you, it keeps getting harder and harder to find new seasonal coffees to try and review. But thankfully, Dunkin’ came through this year with a rather unusual offering – Ho Ho Honey Cinnamon. I found this flavor to be an interesting option. I’m a pretty big fan of cinnamon-flavored coffees. But I can’t say…
My hunt for new and unusual coffees is an endless passion. Several times a week I will take a swipe down the coffee aisle to see if there’s anything new and worthy of my attention. If you’re like me, then you may have noticed a new brand appearing on the shelf at your local Walmart,…
Just when I thought I was running out of interesting coffees to try, I stumble across one of the most intriguing names I’ve seen in a long time. I’m talking about Smoked Butterscotch from Starbucks. Starbucks coffees are always either hit or miss for me. They are either really REALLY good, or they do absolutely…
It’s not that I’m a coffee snob. But I used to really shun these “gimmick” K-cups. You know, the cups with the frothing packets or the ones that don’t actually contain ground coffee. But, a few months ago I gave in and tried one of the Donut Shop cappuccino pods and the results surprised me….
Recently, my oldest son took a school trip to London and Paris. During his stint in England, he visited Windsor Castle. Knowing my love for coffee, he purchased a box of java from the gift shop and brought it home. Supposedly, it is the same coffee that is enjoyed by the King of England himself….
