Do you enjoy single serve coffee at home or work? I have a Keurig in my kitchen and the hubster goes to work and uses one there every day. And I don't know if you're the same way? I'm pretty picky about the K-cups I buy.

A while back, I worked with Peet's Coffee to share with you about their delicious, ground coffee. I ended up brewing it through a special filter on my Keurig. Thankfully, their coffee is much easier to use as it now comes in single serve sizes.

This month, Peet's has been taking votes on their Do You Give A Cup page. The questions were silly but helped decide along the way where they would be handing out free samples of their single serve coffee as they traveled across the nation.

Now there are 5 flavors of Peet's Single Cups to try: Decaf House Blend, Cafe' Domingo, French Roast, House Blend, and Major Dickason's Blend. Personally, I'd buy the House Blend and Cafe' Domingo up!

What kind of coffee do you enjoy?

Keep up with Peet's Coffee on Twitter and Facebook so you can see if they'll be doing something fun in your area!

 I'm a BIG fan of the Holiday Season. I love shopping for the perfect gift for people on my list. {I'm just one of those who love shopping and giving.} This year, I've been given the opportunity to give some delicious, Peet's Coffee Holiday Blend coffee to two people. {YAY!} 

Immediately, I thought of my son's preschool teacher and her assistant. I'm almost positive that two people who give such great care and energy to a class of 4 year old children could really use a good cup of coffee. Don't you think?  Alex was very excited about this idea too and he just couldn't wait to head out to the store and choose items to add to their gift baskets.

I don't want you to miss out on our shopping fun! Please take a look at our Google+ album. 

 Alex was so excited to fine baskets at the store that match his teacher's favorite colors. And since this was a gift from Alex to them, I didn't even blink when he said he wanted a purple basket for one of them. {She once told him that purple is her favorite color.}  :) He also had fun choosing mugs for each of them, a candy treat, an ornament, basket wrapping, ribbon, and basket filler. We were more than ready to put these wonderful gifts together.

Once we put everything in the baskets, we were ready to wrap them up and make them festive. I purposely left the ornaments Alex found out of the baskets to use as a "gift tag" of sorts. Alex was thoughtful enough to pick an ornament for each teacher that had their first initial on it. They've been teaching him so much about letters that he was able to find which ornament went to which teacher all on his own. :)

Wouldn't you just love to receive a basket like this? I think they look so sweet and yummy!

 There...now they're all wrapped up and ready to go. For now, the gift baskets are waiting under the Christmas tree but Alex will be taking them to his class' Christmas party and giving them to his teachers at that time. He's very proud of himself and he admitted that it's going to be difficult for him to keep these baskets a secret since he's so excited about them.

And now the fun part for me! I get to give ONE OF YOU some Peet's Coffee Holiday cheer!!

THE GIVEAWAY!!

Yes, it's true. I finally was able to get my hands on the new, Medium Roast blends from Peet's Coffee. I'm sure you remember me talking about Peet's Coffee before.

Just for fun, I was looking for a creative way to share this new coffee with someone else. I kept my ears perked for an opportunity...a simple request for coffee...and took the first chance I had to share some.

Last week, after a long work day, the hubster and I had to pack the kiddos up in the van and take them to a charity event that my son's preschool class was participating in. I saw the look in my husband's eyes when he said "I think I may just need another cup of coffee to get through this night".

"Say no more, hun. I'm on it!" was my reply as I headed straight to my new coffee.

I grabbed a travel mug and made him a large coffee "to go" by brewing the new Cafe' Solano blend from Peet's Coffee in my Keurig brewing system. I added to it a bit of pumpkin spice creamer and let him know it was ready to go.

The hubster sipped on his coffee on the way to the event and I made sure it made it inside the school building once we got there too. {He really needed this coffee. He was so tired, the poor guy.} Throughout the night, he thanked me for making him coffee and told me he was feeling better. He really liked the flavor of the coffee {I do too!} and I'm willing to bet he's glad he didn't have to grab a Styrofoam cup of whatever non-coffee, coffee they were serving up at the school. ;)

we were busy making cards and packing a shoe box full of goodies for one little boy who would otherwise receive nothing for Christmas

Once again, I can't really compare the flavor of this coffee to the regular blend we normally enjoy. We buy a great big canister of ground coffee. Although it is a name brand coffee, it's definitely not a specialty blend and it's certainly not anything that could even hold a candle to Peet's Coffee.

I've put together an album of photos so you can see what we were up to with our charity event and how Peet's Coffee fit in to that evening by clicking here.

Now, I'm sure I've made someone curious enough to try the new medium roast blends from Peet's Coffee. If I'm talking about you, make sure you visit the website to get your coupon and save $3.00!

So, it's been a few days since my first Peet's Coffee Post and I wanted to fill you in on what I think about it at second glance.

First, I want to tell you about my experience during the #NationalCoffeeDay and Peet's Coffee twitter party. While I was there, I met many coffee lovers {like myself} and we exchanged thoughts on the way coffee is woven into our day-to-day lives. We also learned more about the Peet's Coffee website and some of us {not me} even won gift cards just for chatting. It was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed the conversation had.

Back to the coffee drinking in my home. I've started enjoying Peet's Coffee every morning and still really like it. And since I knew how I felt about it, I wanted to see what others thought as well. One day, I brewed a cup for the hubster and asked what he thought. His response? "Now that is a good cup of coffee." I also shared some with a family member when she was over. I was quite impressed with how quickly she drank her cup 'o joe and although I didn't ask and she didn't say it, I could see that she really liked it too.

Yes, I'm thinking that Peet's Coffee fits into my every day just right. I'm still loving it and I absolutely prefer it to the other brand I buy from the local grocery store. Don't forget to visit the website to see where you can buy your own and grab your coupon while you're there.

As I'm sure you can guess with all the "Coffee" references on my blog, I'm a coffee lover. Although, I wouldn't consider myself to be a coffee snob at all. I just love coffee and I think it loves me right back.

However, I'm sure you're well aware of the ruts one can get stuck in when purchasing something like coffee. For us, we always purchase the same brand at the grocery store because it's inexpensive but it's not cheap enough to taste gross. Have you been there?

Collective Bias {thank goodness} asked me to shop for something new and different and share with you what I think about it. The brand of coffee I'm currently drinking as a part of this opportunity is Peet's Coffee. Are you familiar at all with this brand?

Well, I had never heard of Peet's Coffee and there's literally only one store in the area where I can buy it. Usually, we visit this store for produce. But I'm pretty sure we're going to have to visit for produce and coffee after this taste test.

I was sent to buy some Medium Roast Coffee as this is the newest addition to the Peet's Coffee line-up. As you'll see in my thisMoment story, I couldn't find any in my one, local store and decided to try a different blend. Believe me, the coffee I bought is good and I can only imagine that their new flavors are just as rich and full tasting in nature.

Now, being that I'm pregnant, I only have one cup of coffee a day {my doctor says I'm OK to do that}, but when I'm not pregnant, I enjoy a cup in the morning AND a cup in the afternoon. I just like that mid-day pick-me-up. I normally use ground coffee brewed in my Keurig and I always use flavored cream in my coffee. How do you take yours?

For this review though, I decided to buy whole bean coffee and grind it. I thought it would give me the truest flavor and I thought I could better form my opinion that way. {By the way, the smell of freshly ground coffee is enough to make me smile in the morning. I love that smell!}

Bottom line, my coffee {Garuda Blend} is quite tasty and I'm intending on savoring every last drop of it. That is, until I make the trip out to the store to purchase more.

Why don't you look over my thisMoment story and find out more about my shopping experience? There's a coupon in there!
