We’re big coffee drinkers in our house, all year round. We LOVE our Keurig. Once the warm weather arrives RB really enjoys iced coffee, so he puts ice cubes in his coffee. I prefer iced tea and lemonade, so I end up drinking lots of beverages made from powders. I love the taste of freshly brewed iced tea but it just takes too long to make, it is not convenient or quick. When I heard that Green Mountain had introduced new Brew Over Ice K-Cups I knew we had to try them.
ABOUT BREW OVER ICE K-CUPS
A whole new way to enjoy your Keurig Brewer. Just in time for backyard barbecues and parties by the pool! Your Keurig Brewer now makes delicious, refreshing iced coffee and tea at the touch of a button. Our new Brew Over Ice K-Cups® contain more coffee or tea—the perfect amount to create a cool, breezy brew. They’re specially designed to brew directly over ice.
“People love iced coffee and teas, and our Brew Over Ice K-Cups make it easy to get a refreshing iced beverage right at home,” said T.J. Whalen, Vice President of Marketing for GMCR’s Specialty Coffee Business Unit. “Traditionally, consumers have thought about their coffee maker as delivering only hot coffee, but now Keurig owners can enjoy an entirely new array of great-tasting cold beverages with their Keurig brewer.”
MY THOUGHTS
We received samples of:
Nantucket Blend Iced Coffee
French Vanilla Iced Coffee
Southern Sweet Black Tea
Half And Half (Black Tea and Lemonade)
Using the Brew Over Ice K-Cups is easy. Place a large (16 oz) glass of ice under your Keurig brewer. Select the 6 oz or 8 oz button, depending on how strong you want the beverage to be. Press brew. When it’s finished, just stir. That’s it! The Southern Sweet Tea was as good as or better than most of the sweet teas I’ve had in restaurants around here. And it tasted much better than powdered tea. The Half And Half was better than I thought it would be, it a great combination of flavors. I liked both the Nantucket Blend Iced Coffee and the French Vanilla Iced Coffee, but hubby LOVED them. That makes sense considering he likes iced coffee a lot more than me. I am a lover of French Vanilla coffee and I thought it was great that you can actually smell the vanilla in the French Vanilla Iced Coffee. The iced coffees taste as good or better than those you get at the two local big name coffee shops, you probably know who I mean, but they’re much less expensive and you don’t have to leave the house and wait in a line. I’d recommend the Brew Over Ice K-Cups to anyone who enjoys iced coffee, as well as iced tea and lemonade.
The Half and Half and the Southern Sweet Tea aren’t the first iced teas for Keurig, four Perfect Iced Tea varieties including Sweet Lemon Black Tea, Sweet Peach Black Tea, Sweet Raspberry Black Tea, and Black Tea Unsweetened were introduced last summer. Cream and sweetener can be added to iced coffee. Perfect Iced Teas are pre-sweetened with all natural cane sugar and stevia and ready to drink. Go to www.BrewOverIce.com to see how it works, shop for K-Cups, and purchase special Brew over Ice plastic tumblers. Brew Over Ice coffee and tea K-Cups are available in national retail stores nationwide as well as online at www.GreenMountainCoffee.com or www.Keurig.com.
