Keurig K-Cup Ambassador: Donut House Coffee
For the past four years, I've been harboring a not-so-secret addiction: my Keurig. If you know me in person, or follow me on Twitter at all, you already know my deep and unabashed love for all things Keurig and Green Mountain Coffee.
I've talked about them so much and so often that at a recent Home Event where Keurig PR people were in attendance, I kinda sorta got celebrity-like recognition. "Oh, Amber! Of course we know who you are!", I was told. It kinda made me blush!
It's important to me to do my part as a Keurig K-Cup Ambassador to tell you why I love their products. So let me tell you a story:
Four years ago, I was on a pot-a-day coffee addiction. Only, I'd get about 2 cups in, and the coffee would go kinda cold and greasy, even when I reset the burner on the coffee pot we had at the time. James had been doing a bunch of research, and was really pushing us to buy a Keurig.
"You're crazy!" I'd say. "It's too expensive!" - but he persisted, and that year just before Christmas, we bought a Keurig. I fell in love hard and fast, folks.
It's not too expensive, and let me tell you something: The fair trade and organic coffee, plus the freshness of that one-cup brewing? You're worth it.
One of my most favorite things about the Keurig is the matching relationship with Green Mountain Coffee. When you're a member of Green Mountain's Cafe Express (repeating scheduled delivery of coffee), they automatically warranty your Keurig for as long as you're a member. No matter how old that Keurig is, if something malfunctions, they'll help fix it or replace it - for free.
Last year, after nearly 7,000 cups of coffee brewed, our original Keurig had a few problems. It still worked, but it just wasn't happy about it. I called Keurig and GMC, and a few days later, a brand new B-70 arrived on our doorstep, free of charge. We didn't even have to pay for shipping. Now that's what I call customer service!
The other thing I love about this marriage of coffee geniuses is all the wonderful flavors available in K-Cup portion packs.
Today I want to highlight for you one of my top favorites: Donut House.

Donut House Coffee is meant to mimic your favorite donut shop flavors - the strong and steady blends that get served in those old chipped mugs at 3 a.m., plus some of your favorite donut flavors too.
I'm especially fond of Cinnamon Roll, and the Chocolate Glazed Donut really and truly does bring to mind a cakey, sweetly crunchy donut like you'd find at your favorite donut stop.
If it wasn't already clear, Keurig and Green Mountain Coffee are incredibly generous when it comes to their customers.

I'd love to hear what your favorite Green Mountain Coffee flavor is, or one you've been dying to try![wpurp-searchable-recipe]Keurig K-Cup Ambassador: Donut House Coffee - - - [/wpurp-searchable-recipe]
I definitely fell in love with cinnamon roll when you graciously sent me the overflowing box of K-Cups. I'm pretty certain it will be my go-to fall flavor!
Oh crap. Now I want a Keuirg.
I've looked at them in the store, but I couldn't justify the price when we have a 2-cup coffee maker at home.
But I'm pretty sure I'd kill for a Cinnamon Roll cup of coffee!
I remember when we first got our Keurig and I was thinking "okay, no big deal - just a new machine" and now we can't imagine our lives without it. We can go from a cup of coffee for Mike, to a cup of chai for me to hot chocolate for Alora....then back to coffee for....ME.
Haha we do the same thing. Caffeine doesn't really phase me, but it does James. So he can have all the decaf he wants, and I'm still brewing full strength strong stuff at 11 p.m. and it works for us!
I'm a Donut House gal ALL THE WAY. I feel about my Keurig the same way that you do!! It makes all other coffee's seem like brown bitter water!!
Gretchen, it's nice to know I'm not the only one! Thanks for your lovely comment.
Oh, if I only liked coffee I would have to have one of these. My friends that have them RAVE about them and tell me I don't know what I'm missing!
Andrea, they have other k-cup portion packs too. The hot chocolates and teas are divine, if you like that idea too. Plus it's great for just hot water when you want it.
SHHHHHHHHHHHH
All I need is another gadget in my kitchen! My husband will scream!
I share your love in all things Keurig! And, I'm definitely going to have to get me some of that cinnamon roll coffee...when I tried it at your place, it was glorious! Love!
It's pretty great. Especially turned into a latte with the Keurig milk frother 😀
Thanks for this!!
Katrina, you are very welcome!
I am now officially hooked on the Green Mountain Coffee 🙂
Mwuahahaha brought you over to the dark side 🙂
Ethiopian Yirgacheffe, whole bean, is my addiction. If the price is right, I order 40 bags at a time! Thanks for the coupon incentive!
Wow, that's commitment! You're welcome!
Ah, I lost my Keurig when I lost my job; it was a sad day indeed. Not for the job loss, but for the Keurig!
Awww Lisa. Treat yourself when you can and get your own.
I LOVE my K-cup machine too!
I just ordered off the site and used the code provided. I did receive 15% off but didn't get free shipping (2boxes) 🙁
Harley,
Dan from above let me know about that and I'm working with Keurig to get the code fixed. I said free shipping because they said free shipping when they sent it to me.
If you send me your order number in a separate email ([email protected]) I will get it escalated and try to get you reimbursed for shipping.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience! We're trying to get it fixed ASAP.
Thank you 🙂
The code should be working correctly now, and Harley - they fixed how they're charging your card so you won't pay shipping. Hooray!
i absolutely LOVE the donut house regular light roast. it's the only kind of coffee i'll drink in the keurig. i want to try the chocolate glazed donut flavor, but i'm afraid to commit to a whole box!
Jen, I think they do a Donut House sampler box that has like 4 of each in it, if you wanted to try to get that instead.
Amber, thanks so much for that information! I'll have to look for that sampler box.
My mom and boyfriend are obsessed with their Keurigs! Mom swears by the donut house coffee. I'm not a coffee drinker, but I love being able to brew just one cup for cooking!
Have you tried the teas and hot chocolates too? The dark hot chocolate is divine!
Who0-friggin-hoo! I've been needing to get some K-Cups for about a week now. I've been "rolling my own" using the Solofil and while I like it, nothing beats the simplicity of popping a cup into the machine. I really like the Chocolate Glazed Donut, although I was sure I wouldn't. I've been wanting to try the Cinnamon Roll and one of the travel mug sizes -- maybe this is my big chance! Thanks all around.
Daniel, order as many as you can of the travel sizes - they've just been discontinued. (And they're one of my favorites, boo!) I was sure I wouldn't like the Wild Mountain Blueberry, but it's grown on me. I like the Chocolate Glazed Donut even more than that one though.
I'm still itching to try the coconut Green Mountain Coffee, but it will have to be in my French press (I know, I know - I'm a loser without a Keurig).
