My Single-Serve Coffee Favorites

Whether winter, spring, summer, fall…I’m going to enjoy a cup of coffee! Sharing some of my favorite single-serve coffee, because sharing is caring! Drink up! 

My Mom was a first grade teacher, so I attended the same grade school she taught in. Occasionally, she would have to stay home for a sick/personal day, and of course I wanted to stay home with her. Welp! That didn’t happen. I would beg and plead only to end up riding with another teacher who lived in our neighborhood.

I’ll never forget Mr. Bailey. He drove a pick-up truck that was a straight-shift (stick-shift for the young tendas). He ALWAYS kept a tall, Thermos filled with blazing, hot coffee. It smelled soooo good as we rode down 150 to head to Valley Elementary. He would drink it like it was water. That’s when coffee first piqued my interest. It wasn’t until I was in my mid-20s that I actually started drinking it on the regular.

Working in an office setting, there would always be a pot in the workroom. One day I decided to grab the little 8 oz styrofoam cup and give it a try. Shortly after that, I discovered this amazing invention called the Keurig. That was it! I was going to become coffee drinker! Here it is almost eight years later and I love coffee more and more each day.

Although I’m a fan of Starbucks, I’m not part of the cult. I will drink any kind of coffee as long as it’s good. Even my church has some of the best coffee, which is brewed from a local coffee shop. I also realized owning a Keurig saved me lots of money. Especially when it came to $3+ coffee or $5+ lattes. So why not share my favorite single-serve coffee cups, pods, or whatever you want to call them. Most of them are for the low!

Here goes…

Café Bustelo, Espresso Style

Get a perfectly brewed cafecito in less than one minute! With new Café Bustelo K-Cup® Pods, you can enjoy the bold flavor of our Espresso Style blend. Brew and enjoy the rich, full-bodied flavor that stands up to milk and sugar, like no other.

I wanted to try Café Bustelo, Espresso Style. Someone posed it once (can’t remember who), but thank goodness my Soror/Friend Kurlylicious posted it again! I immediately added it to my grocery list, and picked up some later that day. I tried it that night, which I rarely do on a weekend night — and I became an instant fan! No seriously, I’m in LOVE! It’s in a tie for the #1 spot!

You can also buy Café Bustelo K-Cups in bulk from Sam’s to save some coins!

Two other flavors I like, especially for fall/winter is the Cafe Con Leche and the Cafe Con Chocolate!

Great Value brings together the richness, sweetness and boldness of three types of chocolates into a coffee blend that can create a spectacular mocha. Just top your coffee with a dollop of cream to make a mocha that rivals the one from your favorite coffee shop. This delectable blend of coffee and chocolate oozes flavor in every sip and will definitely make your everyday coffee experience so much more special.

Great Value’s Triple Chocolate coffee gives me the feels of hot chocolate without all of the sugar. Add a splash of Coffeemate’s Italian Sweet Creme Sugar Free creamer and you have yourself a winner. This flavor creamer does not have an aftertaste, while adding the perfect sweetness to coffee drinks. I also opt for Stevia (to taste) in my coffee over sugar. GV single-serve pods are probably the least expensive that I’ve found outside of Publix’s BOGO sale.
