I Have Found Heaven In My Keurig!

Do you like coffee but your husband likes tea? Or do you like tea and your wife likes hot chocolate? Or better yet, do you like coffee and your kids like hot apple cider? If you answered yes to any of these questions then the Keurig is for you.

I am the only coffee drinker in my house and my husband will occasionally drink tea, apple cider, or hot chocolate. I always hated trying to make a pot of coffee in the morning for just me or trying to make just a small amount so it wouldn't go to waste. The coffee never tasted right when I tried to make a small pot no matter how much I measured!! I just could never get it right. That is until I got my Keurig. Now every cup is perfect and the best part...NO WASTE!

I debated for a long time before I actually made the purchase. My husband never thought he would use it AT ALL! Turns out he uses it almost as much as me now. We often say that it is one of the best purchases we ever made!!! If you are still on the fence like I was about making the purchase, read on and maybe I will convince you!

Your New Best Friend!!

A K-Cup is a small cup that is placed into the Keurig to make your hot beverage. They come in a large variety of coffee flavors as well as a large variety of tea flavors. You can also find K-Cups in hot chocolate and apple cider. You are sure to find a great variety for not only you but for your entire family. If you can think of a flavor, you can probably find it in a K-Cup. Some of my favorites are: Our Blend (Green Mountain), Donut Shop, pomegranate green tea, white hot chocolate, and eggnog. My husband also loves the apple cider.

Celebrate the holiday season with this winter k-cup favorite!! Sit by your fireplace, cozy up with a warm blanket and get ready to enjoy the aroma and sensational taste of the eggnog k-cup

Here are some great tips for other uses for your Keurig. One thing you should remember is that you don't need to buy the fancy K-Cups to enjoy hot chocolate and apple cider. The pouches you find in the stores in the regular supermarket work just fine. Simply pour the mix into your mug and then open the top of your Keurig (leave it empty since you will not be using a K-Cup) and close the top. Select your size and the water will come out. That is the process for running a pure water cycle. Follow those steps to do the other tips below.

My husband loves oatmeal and he uses the Keurig to make his insant oatmeal. You can also use it to make farina or any other instant breakfast that requires hot water.

I often use it while I'm cooking when I need hot water. For example, I use chicken or beef bases that often requires hot water to make a broth. So, I use my Keurig to give me instant hot water when I need it. I'm sure there are other great uses that I haven't thought of yet, feel free to sign the guestbook and add them. I would love to add more ideas to this section.

Here is a great tip from a guest to this lens: she uses her Keurig to make Jello!! Fabulous, wouldn't have thought of that one on my own! Great idea! What a time saver!

Find a way to store all your K-Cups

I started off with a small carousel for my K-Cups but am completely out of room. I plan on upgrading to a unit that stores more K-Cups. I love to have an assortment of flavors for when I have company. This way all of my guests can chose, regular, decaf, extra bold, tea, flavored coffee, hot chocolate, apple cider or what ever they want. Of course when selecting your storage unit you need to consider how much room you have, but believe me you will be eager to try new flavors.

Coffee or Tea??
