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....

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...
To date, the original Donut Shop coffee remains one of my favorite K-Cups. Aside from their signature blend, they’ve also produced a number of various flavors under their “Donut Shop” branding. Over the years I’ve tried several of these spin-off coffees and had mixed feelings about most of them. But still, I’m a sucker for something new and when I...
Happy Thanksgiving! It is my sincere hope that all of my readers have an enjoyable Thanksgiving holiday with their friends and family. I hope your day is filled with savory foods, tasty treats, video games, and nerdy novels. Sadly, I will have to spend the evening at work. In fact, I’ll be up past midnight making sure that Black Friday...
During my recent trek to find new K-Cup varieties, I came across a new Donut Shop flavor that I had never seen before; honey bun. Now, it’s no secret that plain Donut Shop is one of my all time favorite K-Cups. Also, of their flavored offerings that I’ve encountered thus far, only one failed to impress. With this in mind,...
It’s been several months since I sat down and did a new coffee review. To be honest, that’s been mainly due to two reasons. First, I have a new work schedule that’s been highly unusual. Currently, I find myself waking up around three-thirty in the morning and heading to bed around eight in the evening. Second, there’s really not been...
My last Nerd Fuel post saw the unseating of a champion. My long favorite coffee, “Donut Shop” was tossed from it’s top spot and replaced by Community Coffee’s Cafe’ Special. Despite no longer being my personal favorite, Donut Shop is still an outstanding coffee. To date, I’ve discussed both the Original Flavor as well as their “Dark” variety. But there’s...

So, there’s a lot going on in the next thirty days or so that will have my attention. Final Fantasy XV comes out in less than twenty four hours. Star Wars Rogue One is little more than two weeks away (and I still have the prequel novel to get through). So, I can foresee many late nights in the coming...
This is a feature I’ve been wanting to bring to the site for some time. Coffee reviews. Yes. That’s right. In addition to my video game, comics book and Star Wars literature reviews, I am now adding K-Cup coffees to the mix. Why, do you ask? Well, I have long had a deep love affair with coffee. For me, it’s...
