Timothy's World Coffee Noisette, Hazelnut-Flavored Coffee, Decaffeinated, K-Cups for Keurig Brewers, 24-Count Boxes (Pack of 2)

Customer Review: Nice K-Cup coffee
We have found k cups tend to make weak coffee, but Timothy's is better than others. We like the hazelnut flavor
Customer Review: Hazelnut Decaffeinated Coffee
I have purchased a Keurig Coffee maker this Christmas for my family who all like different flavors of coffee. We also have a Keurig at work and my company supplies another brand of Hazel Nut Decaffeinated which I drink daily. After researching K-Cup coffees online, I found Timothy's World and because of the great rating from users, I purchased it. Well, it is great tasting,flavorful and I enjoy it more than the brand we have at work. I will continue purchasing this coffee for home and I recommend it for others to try. I can't drink caffein, but I am guessing that the regular Hazelnut is even more flavorful.


How to make organic free trade coffee? It is amazing to me how many people do not know how to make coffee. And seeing how this is the most drank morning beverage in the world, one would think it would fairly obvious to make. It is really based on ones tastes. Whether you like the coffee strong, per se, or light, will depend on either the number of scoops or amount of water.

Here is a quick ratio:

1. 1 cup of coffee is only 6 oz. (not the 8-12 oz like many people think).

2. Coffee grounds, per scoop, is measured in Tablespoons.

3. To get the full flavor of coffee (or strong as some call it), use 2 Tablespoons of coffee per 6 oz of water. So, for example, if you are making a full pot of coffee, which is about 10 cups of coffee, you would need 20 Tablespoons of coffee.

4. For the lighter side of coffee, either use 1 Tablespoon of coffee per 6 oz of water.

5. For stronger coffee, use 2 Tablespoons per cup, then make the pot of coffee, then add water to adjust the taste if it is too strong.

Also, if you use cream and sugar, this will greatly affect the strength of the coffee. I personally do not drink coffee with any cream of sugar. Straight black for me. I love the aroma, and then the taste of coffee, piping hot. I like mine at about 180 degrees.

For the best cup of coffee, you should buy organic free trade coffee as whole beans, and grind the beans right before you need them. When they are in the bean form, they preserve all of the freshness inside. Many coffee beans also have an oily exterior, which will also protect the flavor and freshness. Grinders can be bought for less than $10.00.

It is a trial method. The coffee will vary in taste according to the number of scoops, the type of coffee maker you have, if your water is filtered, and especially the type of coffee you buy. Just try out a few methods and you will soon learn how to make organic free trade coffee.

And of course, if you don't really want to make it yourself, just find a local Starbucks or Barnes and Noble and get a fresh cup of their Free Trade and Organic Coffee.

Keurig K-Cups

Keurig B50 Gourmet Single-Cup Brewing System

The word "Keurig" is derived from the Dutch word for excellence and Keurig epitomizes the appreciation for excellent coffee that's simple to make. Keurig was founded by coffee lovers who believed that coffee should always be served fresh, whether at home or at the office, just as in a gourmet coffee house. They noticed that people were constantly leaving the office in search of a fresh cup of coffee and asked themselves: "Why do we brew coffee a pot at a time when we drink it a cup at a time?" From this question, the revolutionary concept of Keurig K-Cup portion pack brewing was born.Introduced in 1998, Keurig's innovative single-cup brewing system lets coffee lovers brew perfect coffee, one cup at a time, in less than a minute. Affectionately called the K-Cup system, the Keurig B50 Gourmet Single Cup Coffee Brewer is designed for simple, easy use at home. This patented single-cup brewing system lets you brew a perfect cup of gourmet coffee in less than a minute without the hassle of grinding beans, measuring coffee, handling filters or cleaning up. Keurig takes away all the guesswork from brewing a consistently great cup of coffee and, as a lover of great coffee, you deserve it. Unit Dimensions - 13H 10W 13.25D Voltage - 120VAC 60HZ / UL and c-UL approved for Household use only
Customer Review: Kreiug
I have had the B50,B60, and B70. Every brewer has not lasted over a year before some malfunction has occured with the unit.. so thats now $600.00 in 3 years...I could have had a good coffee maker by now.. Instead all their coffee makers have the same internal parts which are proven not to be a well built product. They have finally partnered with another company Breville, but I am finished buying trash.
Customer Review: Love my coffee!
I purchased this coffee maker in January of this year and love it. At fist I wondered how I'd keep up with the cost of K-cups. But, I've just ordered through Amazon's K-cup subscription and this will work well for me, financially. Look into this, folks. What a wonderful way to get your coffee at a better price and with 0 shipping charge! Now I'm enjoying great coffee at a very affordable price. Way to go, Amazon.com!


If the idea of being your own barista in the comfort of your kitchen appeals to you, you will be impressed with Saeco espresso machines. The Saeco company was founded by Arthur Schmed and Sergio Zappella in 1981 in Bologna, Italy. Four years later, in 1985, Saeco developed a completely automatic household coffee machine, so that users could relax while the machine ground and measured beans and created single-serving cups of java. This revolutionary machine was followed in 1990 by the TWIN, a two-cup espresso machine. In 1998, Saeco's machines started featuring a digital display, and in 1999, Saeco acquired a new brand and Gaggia espresso machines became a part of the Saeco family.

Saeco automatic espresso machines, as previously noted, were introduced by the company in 1985. These machines essentially take all the steps involved in making a coffee beverage and complete them for you. You don't have to grind your coffee beans, or even measure out the grounds ... an automatic machine will do all these steps for you! Your used coffee grounds will even be deposited into a trash compartment inside the machine. The Saeco Incanto is one of Saeco's popular automatic machines. The Incanto is available in two different styles. The Incanto Classic has two beverage settings; if you are looking for a more luxurious machine, the Incanto Deluxe has three beverage settings. Both styles have a burr grinder that is built right into the machine. Burr grinders feature metal burrs that rub against each other to crush coffee beans into small grounds that are all exactly the same size. Burr grinders are typically considered to be superior to blade grinders because they grind more slowly, allowing for the better preservation of the flavor of the grounds. Another popular model was the Saeco Italia espresso machine. This model was sold at Starbucks and is no longer being produced; however, replacement parts and refurbished machines can be located online.

Perhaps you enjoy performing the steps involved with making a perfect cup of joe. If so, one of Saeco's traditional espresso machines will certainly be appealing. The Saeco Classico espresso machine was one of the company's traditional machine products. It has now been discontinued but has been replaced by the Saeco Aroma. This model includes a steam wand for frothing, and is available in stainless steel or black. If you enjoy the convenience of ESE, or easy serving espresso, cartridges, take note: The Saeco Aroma is ESE compatible! If you have never used ESE cartridges before, illy espresso pods are a great product to try.

It doesn't matter if you like to labor for your coffee or if you prefer to sit back and let your machine do all the work for you, Saeco espresso machines offer something for everybody.

A good travel mug is a must when you need to take your coffee or tea with you on the road. There are many different types of mugs available, so here are a few tips to consider before you purchase one.

Travel mugs are offered in both stainless steel and plastic with plastic being the least expensive.

Even though stainless steel initially costs more, it will give you much better value for your money.

Plastic mugs can break when dropped and they don't keep your coffee or tea hot nearly as long as the stainless mugs.

You can expect superior performance from a stainless steel travel mug keeping your coffee or tea hot for about an hour. If you are looking for the very best way to keep your favorite beverage hot or cold longer, look for a mug with stainless steel double wall insulation.

Stainless steel also cleans up easier than plastic and the plastic liner over time will absorb coffee or tea. This build up will affect the taste of your beverage and the only way to remedy it is to buy another travel mug.

If you still prefer a plastic travel mug, make sure it has a stainless steel liner. The advantages of these are you won't feel the heat on the outside of the mug and you have a variety of colors to choose from.

You should also decide if you want your travel mug to fit a cup holder in your car or if you want it to have a wide bottom for stability.

The advantage of a travel mug that fits a cup holder is you don't have to hold onto it. Just make sure the dimensions of the mug will fit your holder.

If you don't have a cupholder or don't like to use one, you need a travel mug with a wide bottom.

Look for a non-slip wide bottom because not all of them come that way. You don't want it to slide if you let go of the travel mug.

Next, what kind of a lid do you prefer? The lids that snap on can sometimes come off if the travel mug tips over or is dropped. Screw on lids are better because they stay on no matter what happens and that's the idea of a travel mug to begin with.

Also, consider how the beverage hole will be covered and uncovered when you want to drink. Do you like a flap over the drink hole that snaps shut or do you prefer a slide that stays open or closed? Then there is the Press'N'Sip lever design that opens when you push on the spring loaded lever and closes when you let go.

Travel mugs come in a variey of volume sizes too. If you only drink a small amount, consider a smaller 8 oz. travel mug. On the other hand, if you want a large amount of coffee or tea to drink, consider a larger 16 or 20 oz. travel mug.

Once you get the travel mug that is just right for your tastes, hand wash it instead of putting it in the dishwasher. Sometimes soap residue gets left behind either in the lid or in the travel mug and no one likes that kind of surprise. So be sure to rinse it extra good so all that you taste is the rich flavor of your coffee or tea.

If you leave your travel mug in the car while at work, store it away from direct sunlight. That way the hot sun magnified by the windows won't damage the rubber seals in the lid.

Keep these tips in mind the next time you shop for a travel mug so when you fly out of the door with your favorite hot beverage, it will stay in the mug and remain hot until the last drop.
