New England Coffee K-Cup Tasting Notes
New England Coffee boasts a wide array of K-Cup flavors.
Hazelnut Creme is New England Coffee’s most popular K-Cup and combines nutty hazelnut with traditional roasted coffee, though the hazelnut flavor is artificial. This K-Cup is a medium roast with a somewhat complex flavor (nothing to write home about) and harmonious body and acidity.
New England Coffee favors the medium roast with these five additional K-Cups:
- Breakfast Blend: African, South American, and Central American blend. Your morning pick-me-up.
- Blueberry Cobbler: Artificial flavors of sweet, plump blueberries with a pinch of spice.
- Colombian Supremo: Colombia’s top-grade Arabica beans. Punchy flavor and a pungent aroma.
- French Vanilla: Medium roast coffee combined with sweet, smooth French vanilla.
- Butter Pecan: Butter and candied pecan flavor. Rich and sweet.
If you’re partial to lighter roasts, try the Donut Shop K-Cup. It’s subtle, it’s silky, and it’s sure to satisfy those sweet cravings. This lighter roast has brighter acidity and a lighter body.
The French Roast K-Cup provides a dark, sensuous experience. Abandoning the natural, subtle flavors of the coffee beans, this K-Cup takes on powerful, caramel flavors. It’s rich but not exactly smooth and sort of overpowering.
Colombian Decaf offers the traditional smoky flavor of South American coffee without the caffeine kick. It’s a pleasant medium roast with a soft mouthfeel and uses 100% Colombian Excelso beans.
New England Coffee K-Cup freshness is only so-so, which is an issue with almost all K-Cups. To really enjoy a fresh cup, consider brewing a New England Coffee K-Cup clone using fresh coffee and the DeliBru Reusable K-Cup.
Not only will your coffee taste better (seriously, it’s a night-and-day difference) but you’ll save 50% on every serving.
New England Coffee K-Cup Caffeine Content
New England Coffee K-Cups vary in caffeine content with most around 100 mg per serving. Darker roasts like the French Roast K-Cup will have less caffeine, as the roasting process denatures caffeine molecules, and lighter roasts tend to have more caffeine. Of course, if you’re looking for a decaf option, New England Coffee has that with their Colombian Decaf K-Cup.
