Now I consider myself to be pretty knowledgeable in the coffee and tea beverage area. I won't mention the name of the restaurant that I was a Training Manager at but I had to be quite saavy in the beverage department. I prepared gourmet coffee beverages, Italian sodas, and dessert beverages daily. After leaving this company I still have the taste for the same drinks (without of course the cost).
I hate going to places like Starbucks or the Coffee Beanery everyday to get a yummy snack. The costs are ridiculous! So what do I do? I create them at home like everyone else is forced to do (especially to save money). I am by all means not a coffee addict like some who need it to function, however, having the Keurig makes it easy to make something different each day!
Last year I was able to work with the brand Brooklyn Bean Roastery and I absolutely fell in love! Their coffee was amazing. Thankfully they agreed to work with me again and sent me over a box of their Vanilla Skyline this time around. We were obviously thrilled to have another opportunity to review such a great coffee brand and had to try it the moment it arrived.
Unfortunately, this time around we felt this blend was a weaker and completely bland roast. While you could taste the vanilla, it was such a weak coffee and sweetness that I felt I was drinking a watered down coffee. We've actually been mixing this with a stronger blend to give it a good flavor in the end. While, I know this was meant to be a subtle flavor, I didn't enjoy it as much as the rest of the blends Brooklyn Beans has to offer.
I definitely don't want to discourage any of my readers from this brand. Brooklyn Beans offers a massive variety of flavors, roasts, teas, and hot cocoa's. They currently are not Keurig 2.0 Compatible but will be by end of February!
Available to purchase/Cost:$20.33 Brooklyn Beans Vanilla Skyline Single Serve Coffee Cups, 24 Count
Recommendation: Seems expensive especially if you drink coffee like a fein however, its worth the cost if you enjoy savoring a cup just the way you like it. This is only $1 or 2 more expensive than the stuff you buy in the grocery store and of a better quality if you ask me.
