Aldi's had "Cayman Coconut" this past week.  I was looking for a replacement for Wolfgang's "Jamaican Me Crazy" and this is darned close for a lot less $$!

I also got the 36 pack of Aldi's Single origin (Brazilian, Peruvian, Ethiopian, and Costa Rican) variety pack.  

I'll be back for more of the Barissimo Cayman Coconut sometime this week!

Amazon had a nice special on McDonald's K-Cups and I have to say they are very good.  I put them on subscribe and save I liked them that much!

mtc, I have to try the McCafe K-Cups!  I see them everywhere.  I really like McDonald's coffee, so I have no reason not to try the K-Cups.

I have to go to the market tomorrow morning to get water for my  Keurig at work.  I'm going to get the McCafe K-Cups and report back!

I hope you like them HB, I actually prefer them over the Dunkin Donuts ones I bought (don't think I'll be purchasing those again).

But I did score a huge win (for me) . . . the grocery store by me had huge, Costco/Sam's Club size boxes of K Cups and one of the brands was Gevalia which I LOVE! . . . really great price for them, I am set for coffee for the entire winter . . . .

Kalua Coffee K-cup with a tablespoon of sweetened condensed milk in it!

I don't know if anyone has an Ollies close by but I have been buying my k-cups there for the last year.  They are not a name brand but every bit as good.  They have all different blends and they come in a box of 80 for 24.99.  Equals out to about 31 cents a cup.  I have never had a problem with them and the coffee is just as good as name brand and they have a great guarentee, you can bring anything back with a receipt in a 30 day period, even food items, if you are not happy.  Like I said, I have been buying these coffees for a year now and have never taken any back.

I saw the Cayman Coconut when I picked up the 36 cup variety pack.  I can't wrap my tastebuds around coconut coffee, so I passed.

Have you looked in Marshall's for Jamaican Me Crazy?  I see that and Breakfast in Bed a lot.  I bought Breakfast in Bed last year and it's too light for my taste.

mtc, great call on the McDonald's coffee!!!!!  I picked up the medium roast this morning and made a cup when I got to work.  That was a NICE cup of coffee!

Thank you!!!!!

Congrats on the Gevalia score!

Just a FYI, for anyone who has a Keurig 2.0, or who is thinking about buying one but doesn't like the idea of being restricted to Keurig brands -

Check out San Francisco Bay Coffee Co's website. They give away free the Freedom Clip, which allows ANY K-cup to work in a 2.0 machine, and their own K-cups now work in the 2.0 machines even without the clip. Works like a charm.

They have sampler packs. You can also buy some of their K-cups in Costco and chain supermarkets.

I have ordered some of the new Keurig mug cups, and I'm presuming I'll have to take the clip out to use them - but then I can just stick it back in when done using those.

BJ's has $13 off of Green Mountain K-Cups.

I got a box of Caramel Capaccino K-Cups from Aldi's yesderday.  Quite nice!

Our absolute fab is Green Mountain Dark Magic. But the Kirkland brand Pacific Bold is a little less expensive.  We burn all burnables in our furnace. The only trash we have is cans and glass. All summer I save bits of bread in the freezer and feed our woodland critters along w/other food. Very little is wasted at this house.

ncascade, I was a bit concerned about buying k-cups in bulk since I like variety.  When Costco had a coupon, I bought the Breakfast Blend.  They lasted my almost a year and I still bought smaller boxes of other varieties.  I never got bored with them!

That's good that you burn your k-cups and other waste.  That's what the trash plants do to our generate electricity.  It's also much better than complaining about k-cups being non-recyclable.
