Welcome to our first installment of Keurig K-cup Kwick reviews.
We are all busy, that is why we choose to use a Keurig brewer in the first place. We don't have time to read long drawn out descriptions of K-cups using strange coffee snob terms that we don't understand. We are here to offer you quick reviews of Keurig K-cup coffees that will actually tell you what the coffee or tea tastes like so you can find you favorite or a new K-cup coffee to add to your collection. Have we made purchasing Keurig K-cup coffees easy or what?!
Ready? Lets get started...
The first coffee in this series will be Donut Shop Collection Cinnamon Roll K-cup coffee.
Cinnamon Roll is a light roast, flavored K-cup made by Green Mountain Coffee. There are 4 choices in this line of Donut House Collection K-cup Coffee; Cinnamon Roll, Chocolate Glazed Donut, Donut House Regular and Donut House Decaf.
The most notable feature of this coffee is despite being a light roast, it has a nice deep color in the mug. Most light roast K-cups are somewhat translucent, not this one!
I brewed on the middle water setting of my Keurig Brewer, my mug was filled slightly over half way. In general, I would drink this coffee using the highest water setting simply because I prefer a larger mug and this coffee can stand up to the extra water without tasting watered down.
Even after adding a dash of milk, the body remained thick and dark:
The aroma is more coffee than cinnamon, which leads me to believe that the flavor will not be overwhelming.
The mouth feel of this coffee is pleasing, creamy and full bodied.
The taste is a nice smooth combination of mild coffee with hints of cinnamon.
I would describe the taste as the corner donut shop, or local mom and pop diner coffee with a dash of cinnamon. That may seem over simplified and you could easily determine that from the name of this K-cup but, those names don't always ring true. With Donut House Collection Cinnamon Roll the name is reflected well in the taste.
Do you know that feeling of your first sip of coffee first thing in the morning? That is how this coffee makes me feel... satisfied.
I would recommend this as a K-cup to the following coffee drinkers:
-Those who enjoy a mild flavor in their coffee. The hints of cinnamon enhance the coffee flavor quite nicely.
-I would qualify this as a medium roast K-cup despite it's light roast label. If you prefer a little more coffee in your coffee but, are not ready to take the plunge into the dark roast K-cup world... this is a good one for you.
-If you enjoy cream in your K-cup coffee you will be pleased with Cinnamon Roll's ability to maintain its body with a significant amount of cream added.
Donut House Collection Cinnamon Roll K-cups are a great all around coffee. It is easy to drink. I found nothing in this K-cup coffee that I felt would steer anyone away from it.
Have you tried Donut Shop Collection Cinnamon Roll K-cup coffee? Please describe it in your own terms and who would you recommend it to.
~Life is short, enjoy your coffee.
