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…
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,…
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…
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…
You know me. I’m a sucker for limited edition/seasonal coffees. In the past Starbucks has produced some pretty interesting seasonal options. I’m a big fan of their various blonde roasts and several of their fall and winter varieties. So when I saw their new Spring Day Blend on the store shelf, I knew it was…
It’s a brisk winter morning here in the grotto. Before settling down for a nice long gaming session I found myself mulling over my collection of various coffees. Recently, I came across a limited edition blend from Starbucks; Blonde Sunrise. In the past, I was pleasantly surprised by one of their other blonde roasts, so…
Merry Christmas! I just couldn’t let the Christmas season come and go without sampling some kind of seasonal coffee. Usually, there’s any number of holiday varieties available on the store shelves – gingerbread, peppermint, etc. But this year, I found the options at my local grocer to be rather slim. But at least they did…
December is here! Yes, that does mean Star Wars but it also means there’s a plethora of tasty seasonal coffees lining the store shelves. Last year, I sampled and reviewed three different seasonal coffees. This year, the options are not very different. But Starbucks can always be relied on to provide some variation to the theme….
Ok. I’m going to give Starbucks’ a chance to redeem themselves. While I was not a big fan of their Pumpkin Spice Cafe Latte, I did enjoy their 2017 Fall Blend, and last year’s Holiday Blonde Roast was simply amazing. For this review, I picked up a box of their new Toasted Graham coffee. Let’s…
