I have had my Keurig Brewer for several months now…and I love it as much today as when I first got it. It makes the perfect cup of coffee each and every time with no guess work involved. No measuring or guessing how much coffee grounds to use, no measuring or guessing how much water to use. It is wonderful.

No matter what your taste in coffee happens to be, there is a K-Cup that you will love with over 200 different varieties available. They also have teas, hot chocolates and ice teas and coffees available. We are loving the iced coffee blends since it has already been so hot this summer.

You may be asking yourself why a single cup brewer is better. The main reason for me is that I can’t make a decent pot of coffee to save my life. The Keurig saves me time, hassle, money, and sanity. That folks is why it is better for me. And it truly is a better way to enjoy a gourmet cup of coffee. Especially for folks like me that do not have a coffee shop nearby. Or if you want to save some money. Or if you just like to sit on the back porch to drink your coffee. Ok, so you get the picture…it’s just better in so many different ways.

One of my most FAVORITE things to make using my Keurig is Coffee Milkshakes. Yummmmmy!

To get started making a coffee milkshake of your own, brew a fresh cup of coffee. (I used a French Vanilla K-Cup…one of my favs!)

Once your coffee is finished brewing add 2 Tablespoons of sugar so that it can dissolve.

While your coffee is cooling, get your blender out and set up.

Measure out 3 cups of vanilla ice cream (or any flavor that you choose) and place in blender.

Add 1 cup of ice cubes

1 TBSP of Vanilla

1/3 cup of milk

And last add 1 cup of coffee

blender

Blend all together until smooth and has the consistency of a milkshake.

I am officially a thief. I stole a page out of a magazine at the Doctor’s office. I couldn’t help myself and I tried not to do it…but well, I did anyway. I did look around really carefully to make sure no one was looking but I think the ripping sound of paper probably gave me away. The sad thing…I could have gotten it online. But I didn’t know that when I stooping to the low level of stealing. This is from McCormick’s Gourmet line and oh my goodness, you have got to try it!
