I was on a road trip last week and survived thirteen hours in the car thanks solely to McDonald's coffee. I thought I was sacrificing by resorting to a fast food cup of joe but that was a galaxy away from the truth. Instead, I found myself back at the drive-thru for a second cup of McCafe.

I see it all the time. A massive collection of K-cup® pod boxes of various flavors, several are seemingly untouched, others are nearly empty. New Keurig® brewer users and veterans alike, tend to struggle with putting together a balanced ensemble of roasts to satisfy every type of coffee preference. This is a common phenomenon in commercial settings but, homes fall victim as well. Keeping a well-rounded variety of K-Cup® pods on hand is essential for a large family and entertaining guests. 

There is no denying it, Dunkin Donuts is a true icon in the coffee world. Pretty impressive for a company that started out selling donuts a mere 66 years ago. In that time I would venture to say that donuts are now playing second fiddle. It is no wonder with the consistent smooth characteristics their roasts bring, Dunkin Donuts coffee was destined to be a star from day one. 

 Cafe Bustelo K-Cups® are brought to us by the infamous roasting experts who proudly brought the name to America. This company is chock full of history and culture, traits that certainly stand out in their unique brew. Cafe Bustelo K-Cups® were far from a twinkle in the founder's eye when he inadvertently changed the face of not only our coffee culture but, Puerto Rico's as well. It all started when the Spanish-born Gregario Bustelo took a trip to Cuba. He found himself so entranced by the Cuban coffee scene that he simply had to be part of it. Soon he moved to the island and began working for a small roaster, gaining priceless knowledge. He eventually moved to Puerto Rico where he began to spread the joy of Cuban coffee along with the strong social bond that came with it. You see, in Cuba coffee is about far more than caffeine, it is a catalyst for family and friends to engage in conversation. it is a welcomed break from the busy day. It is a simple pleasure enjoyed with loved ones.
