My favorite cup of coffee in the morning is the Caribou Daybreak Morning Blend. I love the citrus tones that balance nicely with the mellow nutty undertones added to the delicate floral notes of this coffee in the morning.

I keep a couple of boxes of k-cups for my Keurig Brewing System as a standard in my pantry. Even my husband who generally doesn't like the lighter roasts prefers the Daybreak Morning Blend by Caribou for his first cup of coffee of the day.

Don't have a Keurig brewing system? Not to worry, you can still start to enjoy this wonderful morning blend with your regular coffee maker. Amazon will soon have the Daybreak Blend in 12 oz bags for you to purchase and have on hand in your kitchen or office.

I think you will be pleased with the great flavor of this light roast coffee for morning or all day long. It has just the right blends to tickle your taste buds.

A little history about Caribou Coffee. The idea for the company was conceived by newlyweds John and Kim Puckett on a trip to the Denali National Park in Alaska in 1990. The couple started their first store in 1992 in a Minneapolis suburb and now the chain is second only to Starbucks across the United States.

If you are shopping for a nice light roast coffee for your morning cup, try Caribou Coffee's Daybreak Morning Blend. You won't regret it!

Until my husband and I switched over to the Keurig Coffee Brewing System, we made our coffee like many do with a 12 cup coffee maker. We usually made a half pot in the morning, each of us drank one cup and poured out the rest before we left for work. Now that just seems so very wasteful. Rarely did we ever make another pot of coffee when we came home.

What I love about my Keurig Single Serve Gourmet Coffee System is that we are now drinking more coffee and less sodas. Our single cup brews in less than 60 seconds and we don't have to fuss over the type of brew we want. He has a tendency to like the stronger roasts and I usually pick a milder blend. Problem is solved with the k-cup pods.

Now in the mornings I can choose a mild roast and he has a stronger blend for himself with no waste. We are enjoying coffee so much more and find that we have at least one more cup of coffee in the evening. That is usually when I like to have a flavored coffee.

We have the B70 platinum model which also allows us to make a cup of hot chocolate or tea with the k-cup pods and we can make iced coffee with this coffee maker too.

We love the variety and we love our Keurig Coffee Brewing System.

The inspiration for my change of focus on this blog came from a lady that admire very much. Her "Morning Coffee" art that can be applied to coffee cups, invitations, posters, cards, and tee shirts woke me up just like the caffeine from my favorite brew would. I know that probably doesn't make a lot of sense but the way my mind works doesn't make a lot of sense to most people.

As you can see from the coffee mug above, Paula is a pretty terrific artist. Was it the painting that inspired this change? Well, partly. It did make something click in my foggy old brain.

Paula was giving advice to a group that we belong to and how that group could help all of us. She talks about her morning routine which involves a morning cup of coffee and that is when the idea became so clear in my head for the change of direction of this blog that had been floundering at best. How Professional Squids Can Benefit You might not be of interest to coffee lovers but it provided the right motivation for me to step out of my box just a little and write about something that I love...coffee.

So thank you, Paula, for the inspiration! I'm pretty stoked (probably has something to do with the amount of coffee I've consumed!) and am looking forward to sharing a lot of information about my favorite brew and the thing that go along with it.

Bevs Coffee Break started out as a blog where I was talking about just about everything other than coffee. So today, I'm changing the cup I've been drinking out of and starting over with a new method of using my break. Instead of talking about all sorts of things, the blog will now focus on something I have a passion for....coffee and all that goes with it.

From this day forward I'll be sharing my favorite coffee flavors along with coffee makers, coffee cups, and even some coffee art from time to time.

I won't erase the posts that came before this one as they do have some relevance in my life. I apologize to the people who have been following this blog for other information. If you aren't a fan of coffee, I understand that you may not want to follow this blog anymore.

But if you are a fan of coffee and all the things that go with it, please come back soon and see what things I've found to share with you about where to buy coffee, k-cup coffee, coffee machines, arabica coffee beans, and more.

Until next time, I'm off to drink my next cup of coffee.
