That reminded me that my mother in law gave me a pack of k-cup pods for Xmas that are the starbucks house blend. I tried one and it was horrible. I tried a second one just to make sure it was the coffee and not me. Nope, the second one was just as bad. I threw them in the garbage.

When we moved my wife brought home her Keureg that she kept in her office. She keeps a lot of Starbucks k-cups for it. While her and my daughter are huge fans, I can't stand it. It reminds me of the last bit of coffee in the pot.... if you forgot to turn it off and get desperate for a cup.

Pike Place is good though.

I picked 2 recipes to mix when I get to it. Next will be Crackers with Fruit and Guava Champagne.
Is Guava Champagne an actual flavor or just a combo of flavors?

NM. I thought you were mixing just one recipe and the title was "Crackers with Fruit and Guava Champagne". Me can't read good sometimes.

    It’s a combo that includes FLV Pink Guava and FA Wine Champagne.

    So I did order a fireluke 2 and 20 MX1 coils at MVS. Code H222 gets you $5 off $75 and I got free shipping. I’m excited. That was the only item left I really wanted to try.
    I'll be curious to see what you think?
    I didn't know about the code, thanks!

    I’m sure I’ll love it based on reviews and then I’ll have to order backups. :laugh: It never ends.
    I'm easily able to run 150ml of juice through a coil, so they may last longer than you think.
    You can rinse the coil in warm water and get another 50ml.

    I find the Raspberry Syrup a little sweet but nothing like the name implies. It’s actually a pretty good Raspberry. Given the sweetness I would probably use .5 of one of the tart flavors with. All in all, I’m happy with it.

    Is the crackers recipe based on the crackers recipe I found and posted?

    The House Blend was bitter and putrid. That was even after I topped the cup with water and added creamer and a sweet and low packet. I dumped it both times.

    No, my crackers one was actually written before you posted the one you did. It’s one of my older ones. I’m just getting around to mixing it

    I’ve never tried any Starbucks coffee. I was given a bag of Dunkin Donuts coffee quite awhile back. I liked that.

    I used to really like Starbucks breakfast blend but am not a big fan any longer. I do like the organic coffee I'm getting from Sam's quite a bit. It's just a bit of a pain to grind since the beans are dry or something and the grounds are almost statically charged after the beans are ground.

    Same, some say it's weak but I love Dunkin Donuts coffee. When we lived in Boston they had one on every corner... I mean literally. You could drive two miles and pass 4 Dunkin Donuts. It's evidently based out of Quincy, Massachusetts which is where I worked. One thing I noticed while living there is when you ask for coffee they automatically put cream in it. If you want it black you have to ask for it that way. Being from Miami we always had to ask for cream..

    We have 1 Dunkin local but they sell the coffee bags in all the grocery stores here.
