Every morning, blurry-eyed and half-asleep, I stumble downstairs and head straight for the coffee maker. I can’t function without coffee.
Before I start my day, I must begin my daily ingestion (a vat) of coffee. The smell of coffee alone perks me up – it’s such a welcoming scent first thing in the morning.
I’ve had various coffee makers over the years – single cup, traditional brew, percolator, French press, I’ve ground my own beans, combined blends… I’ve tried many ways to get the perfect cup of coffee.
I enjoy variety with my coffee too; from regular to dark roast, flavoured to espresso, I can have coffee any way, any time! So when Folgers invited me to embrace mornings by waking up with a cup of the new Mocha Swirl Folgers® Gourmet Selections® K-Cup® for the Keurig Mini Plus Brewer, I had to try.
Of course the jingle, “the best part of waking up is Folgers in your cup” also has left an imprint on my brain!
I like that the Keurig brews one cup at a time, and guests can have their pick of flavours from the wide variety of Folgers blends. Folgers did a survey and it revealed that 84% of Canadian coffee drinkers who have tried single serve coffee enjoy it for the convenience (38%) as well as the variety it offers (27%).
As soon as I made my first cup with the easy-brew Keurig, my 9-year-old immediately said, “Mmmm smells good in here. Is that vanilla?”
The aroma of Mocha Swirl fills the room – it’s quite a pleasant scent. The taste is smooth, silky and chocolatey. That extra flavour truly was a lovely addition to my regular morning coffee. I didn’t know this, but one in five prefer to have a hint of sweet flavour in their coffee.
I really liked how the Keurig Mini brewed the coffee – the coffee was hot and flavourful. The worst part about brewed coffee is the bit left on the bottom – you can never really drink it and it’s just a waste. Plus after sitting there for a bit, the coffee doesn’t taste very good.
The Mocha Swirl K-Cup® coffee fills a large-sized mug, so I can enjoy without having to go for a refill in a few minutes. Also I can fill a travel-sized mug when I’m heading out for a meeting or longer drive.
I also enjoy having a mid-afternoon coffee and this is also when I really enjoy Folgers’ other flavoured blends, like the Caramel Drizzle or Vanilla Biscotti K-Cups. Creamy buttery caramel and vanilla cookie? Yum! Folgers Gourmet Selections K-Cup packs come in a variety of regular blends too, like Classic Roast, Lively Colombian Regular and Decaf, Black Silk (dark roast), Morning Café (light roast).

Coffee perks me up. I really don’t drink flavoured coffee. I try to stick to 1-2 cups per day; any more than that and I get the jitters. I’m usually enjoying my breakfast with my coffee. I love a dark roast. Coffee makes me feel awake – it gets me going in the morning!
I love my first cup of coffee in the morning. I usually drink coffee while reading my favourite blogs, like AMotherWorld.
I usually have 3 cups of coffee a day. First thing in the morning, at lunch and early evening.
I drink one coffee a day everyday and on occasion on in the afternoon. I like a strong but not bitter coffee.
I’m not much of a coffee fan, I do enjoy cappuccino once in a while, my husband is the coffee lover, he drinks 5+ cups a day
Thanks for hosting and letting me know it was going on! This is a well-suited contest for me.
A few years ago I cut back to only 2 cups of coffee a day, but both of those are before noon. I am not a morning person at all, and without coffee I am absolutely non-functional. I’ve recently moved into darker roasts too. Getting a big punch to keep me going all day long!
I prefer medium roast, unless of course I really need to wake up then I go for the dark
I always wonder about those who don’t like or drink coffee. I wonder how they function without it. I can’t. I know I’m addicted. If I miss a morning coffee, by 2-3:00 I have a terrible migraine and for that reason I try hard to never miss my morning coffee. I wake up at least an hour early just to sit and drink my coffee. After all, something so good shouldn’t be rushed, it should be Savoured!
I prefer a medium roast – coffee gives me comfort
I drink two cups of coffee a day, unless I need a boost then I will have a third. I love my coffee 🙂
Coffee helps me wake up each morning and be more productive.
I love drinking French Vanilla coffee and I drink 1 cup a day right now!

I usually have a couple cups of coffee a day. I like French Vanilla flavour.
Got to have my morning cup of coffee! It’s the perfect way to start the day! My fave is the breakfast blend, but on occasion, I like to have the hazelnut or vanilla flavoured coffees!
I love coffee, but I can only have one cup a day because of my stomach issues. I used to drink 3-4 cups a day. I am jealous of my hubby who drinks 6 lol

Coffee wakes me up and I enjoy vanilla flavoured coffee when I have it and I drink 1 or 2 cups a day if that. I like being on the compute and drinking my coffee.

I enjoy kicking up my feet and having a great cup of coffee…. well at least until the toddler realizes I sat down 🙂
I enjoy sitting down to relax for a bit while I have a cup of coffee. Checking out my emails and catching up on facebook while I drink my cup of coffee
I like regular coffee not any flavoured stuff.
I love my first coffee in the morning, it just tastes better right then.
My morning is never complete without a cup of coffee, it just warms me and gives me energy for the day.
I’m not a big coffee fan, definitely a tea girl!
My preference is light or medium roasts.
A morning coffee, newspaper and some sunshine make my morning worth waking up to
French vanilla is my favorite flavor and I drink about 3 a day 🙂
My fave flavour of coffee – french vanilla.
My favorite cup of the day is when I’m making dinner after a long day at work and I need one perk up!
I drink maybe 2 cups a day and I love hazelnut coffee!!
I love a nice cup of French Vanilla as a pick-me-up anytime of day!
I drink about 3 cups a day and I just wouldnt function right without it . I love my coffee
i like my coffee black, coffee is a morning ritual now, and I love it.
I like to start the morning with one of the large cups of coffee.
Being a mom of 2 kids under 3 coffee is a staple! On average I have 3 cups of coffee a day! Having a simple brewer would save me from making a full pot and by the time I get to it it’s cold! Or save me on a drive through which would put $ back into my wallet!
Coffee just let’s me sigh and relax, a pick me up with a boost of caffeine! I enjoy a variety of blends from a medium roast to a nice sweet cappuccino treat every now and then! I think a brewer like this would make the coffe more consistent rather then loosing count of my scoops!
I hope this contest wakes me up and says you won! 🙂
The first thing I do in the morning is make coffee. I am a flavour coffee addict and love most kinds of flavours: vanilla hazelnut, blueberry, cinnamon, Irish cream, etc. I drink several cups per day.
Thanks.
