  1. Sounds like a very cool coffee.

    QOTD – I used to do a lot of camping. When I was growing up, we’d drive across the country and camp along the way. My favorite place was in Adirondacks near Saratoga and Lake George, New York.

    I’ve only done camping for real once. I’m much more of a log cabin type of girl. Showers are an absolute must!

    Sounds like a good coffee….I’ve got the tassimo brewer though, so I can’t get this one!

    QOTD:

    I’ve been camping a few times during school, and I’ve had mixed reactions. Nothing beats fun with family and friends around a campfire…..but the lack of hygiene isn’t so cool. I’d rather have a cabin with running water…..then I can get all the nature I want…in controlled amounts :-)

    This sounds a whole lot better than the previous K-Cup coffees, but I’m still “old school.” Like the coffee experience – including the preparation and brewing; although the drinking is the best part.

    qotd? I’ve not been camping in a long time, but some of my best childhood memories are from times our family went camping.

    Makes me a LITTLE less wary of K-cups, but I am still not liking the idea of them “dictating” how much coffee comes out into my cup. =)

    QOTD: I live in New Hampshire, so of course I love camping! Best place around here is on the Kancamagus Byway-beautiful spot I found right on the Swift River. Ahhhhh….

    This is my morning brew and the best I enjoy so far. I use some cremora to just give it dark caramel look, no sugar. It’s a definite bold flavor and I just got rid of my pod maker in favor of this brewer. My next K-cup to try is Coffee People “Jet Fuel”!

    I love this coffee and maybe it is because it reminds me of the coffee we make around the camp fire. Like you said it has that sort of “ash tray” finish reminds me of the fire.

    One of my favorite place to go camping is Chautauqua Gorge in NY http://www.dec.ny.gov/lands/42257.html

    I received a Keurig for Christmas last year, and I absolutely love it. The Newman’s line is my favorite of all the K-Cups, has a very rich taste.
