With a young baby in the house and a part-time job, it's very, very hard to find "me time." But after I received some free samples of Café Escapes K-cups from BzzAgent, I was eager to make it happen!
I usually have some kind of coffee drink in the morning on my way to work. Having a Keurig brewer is great for when I'm running late and need a cup FAST! However, this BzzCampaign encouraged me to slow down and enjoy one of the new Café Escapes cups while relaxing. I thought that was a good idea. Here's me relaxing with my favorite mug - As you can see, I've got my hair pulled back, and sweatshirt on!
I had tried the Café Escapes Chai Latte before, and always found it a nice break from regular coffee. The new flavors from Café Escapes are no disappointment. Café Caramel seriously tastes like you're drinking melted caramel candy. It might be a little too sweet for some, but not me! That was my favorite for a relaxing afternoon treat. The Café Vanilla was equally good - kind of like the Chai, just with less spices. I don't have hot chocolate very often, but when I do, I much prefer dark chocolate, so the Dark Chocolate Hot Cocoa from Café Escapes is a great choice.
One thing people may not know is that when brewing a drink that contains powdered milk, like hot chocolate or any of the Café Escapes flavors, your Keurig machine needs to be flushed out afterwards. I learned this the hard way a couple years ago. I would make hot chocolate, then find that the machine kept clogging up and breaking! Luckily, the support person I talked to at Keurig told me what to do, and it's been fine since. After you brew a cup of any Café Escapes flavor, just remove the K-cup and "brew" a cup of plain water. That should clear things up enough for the next use.
I'm very glad I got to try the new (and old) flavors from Café Escapes. I will definitely keep several Café Escapes K-cups on hand for relaxing treats in the future!
