I am really anticipating drinking my first cup of Tully's Coffee Bellaccino Cinnamon Stick coffee! It will be available on Amazon in k-cup form soon. I've signed up to be notified as soon as it is open for ordering and you can, too.

I haven't found many coffees that have a good cinnamon taste to them which has been a bit of a disappointment for me.  From the reviews that I have read Tully's has not disappointed with this bold and sweet flavor. I've seen it compared to the taste of those fiery red hots I used to love as a kid. Makes my mouth water just writing about it.

So far every flavor and roast that I have tried by Tully's has been a superb cup of coffee. So, I'm really looking forward to the release of the Bellaccino Cinnamon Stick. 

Personally, I would enjoy cinnamon coffee all year round but I can see that some might enjoy it around Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. How about Valentine's day? I guess we don't associate cinnamon with the day for lovers but I'm thinking about those red hot candies and those make me think Valentine's Day. If you have a coffee lover in your house, perhaps a box of Tully's Bellaccino Cinnamon Stick would be a great gift idea.

For those of us who are fans of the delightful beverage of coffee, we generally have our favorite coffee mugs. Receiving a new mug as a gift for our birthday, Mothers Day, Fathers Day, or even at Christmas or Hanukkah are always appreciated. Coffee mugs are generally not very expensive. When giving a gift of a mug, it can be a stand alone or you can fill it with little treats like fudge or even a small bag of (what else?) coffee.


When picking out the coffee mug as a gift for that special someone we have all sorts of options. We can get a mass produced mug that follows a specific theme that our recipient will enjoy, that is pretty easy to do. We can also look for a coffee mug that is more unique and unusual, one that fits the personality of the person we are gifting.

The mug can relate to the time of the year we are giving the gift too. A winter scene, hearts for Valentine's Day, their zodiac sign, or something that really defines the person who will drink out of the coffee mug and think of us when they do. Perhaps your person loves birds, a coffee mug with an original drawing of a bird like the one below would really be a memorable gift.


The next time you have a gift to give, consider a cool coffee mug filled with something special.

As the holiday season is upon us we can enjoy special flavored coffees with specific flavors for this time of year. There are a few flavored coffees that we enjoy in our home this time of year. Candy canes are a favorite of ours so having Van Houtte Candy Cane K-Cups  near the coffee machine has become a tradition in our kitchen.

If you enjoy vanilla and caramel flavors then you might like Timothy's World Coffee Winter Carnival as a choice to have during the entire winter.

And if you are not certain which flavor might satisfy your taste buds you can always try a variety pack such as the Keurig Holiday Coffee Collection as an option.

The wonderful thing about having the K-cups available is that when company comes you can offer them coffee with flavors that are oh so special during the winter and holiday season. Then again, it is a nice treat for yourself on a cold winter morning or evening.

Two flavors that are a winning combination for me are coffee and chocolate. Not just regular old coffee or plain old chocolate but the good stuff. Now let me tell you, I've tried many a blend of coffee that was supposed to have a chocolate flavor but found them lacking. There wasn't a good chocolate body to any of them. In fact most of the time, I couldn't taste any chocolate at all. Not until I switched to drinking k-cups that is.

I've found a wonderful coffee that has a great chocolate flavor in Van Houtte Spicy Mayan Chocolate K-Cups. A medium roast combines the rich flavor of chocolate more like the Mayans drank some 2500 years ago. Oh the aroma of chocolate that wafts through the room while brewing. The added little spice is a touch of cinnamon. My goodness this is just the best dessert coffee I've ever had! Just about every night after dinner and my little chores are complete, I sit down with a cup of this luscious brew. It is simply divine!
