5 Stars …added a delicious richness to my daily life.
I love coffee! With the economy the way it is I am tightening my belt in a number of ways, however I refuse to give up my daily cups of coffee. This video has helped me save money while significantly increasing my enjoyment of the coffee I brew at home. The practical secrets I learned for brewing the best cup of coffee at home helped me brew better coffee than what I had been buying at my local coffee shop! The video is both educational and entertaining. I learned about the history of coffee, advice on coffee bean selection, and many great tips for brewing the perfect cup of coffee. The video is set to some great music.

I found the panel of experts in the field of coffee to be so informed. It was an honor to hear them speak about their life’s passion, coffee.

What I learned from this video has added richness to my daily life! I’d recommend it to anyone who loves coffee.

5 Stars Coffee Brewing Secrets
I am no expert but thought I knew more than most on the subject of coffee brewing. This video showed me quite a few subtle details I did not know about each of the brewing methods I use. The information is detailed, informative for both the seasoned coffee geek and the people who are just discovering that there is much better coffee than the big box coffee shops sell. Its all in the choices you make when choosing and preparing the bean. Kevin Sinnott and his friends can show you how.

5 Stars entertaining and insightful
Living in New York, I go to Orens Daily Roast everyday for my cup of coffee. So it was very interesting to see Oren doing a demo of the chemex. All the demonstrations were done by people who obviously love what they are doing and their enthusiasm transcends the screen. Great buy for anyone who loves coffee.

Gloria Jeans Coffees K Cup Hazelnut Coffee for Keurig Brewers 24 Count Boxes Pack of 2

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great Tasting Hazelnut Coffee
Gloria Jean’s flavored coffee’s – especially the Hazelnut – are really good BUT you need to brew on the 7-8oz size. All of the K-Cups vary as to what size brew is best for them. It is not strong coffee, but brewed at the right size, it tastes really good and certainly does not taste weak. Everyone I have served it to has enjoyed it. It is not labeled as bold so I don’t think it is reasonable to give this coffee a poor review from people who only like strong coffee. This is a flavored “goodie.” Beats most of the flavored coffee’s I’ve tried to date.

5 Stars Much better then Green Mountain Extra Bold Hazlenut
Can’t say enough about this coffee. After slinging the glorified mud that GM passes off as Hazelnut Coffee (got the xtra bold variety b/c GM generally can’t make a 7oz cup w/ a regular K-cup – everything tastes like dishwater). Gloria Jeans actually makes a very tastey 7 oz cup of coffee, and the Hazelnut is no exception. I’ll not be sending my money up to Vermont anymore – Amazon and Gloria Jeans all the way !

4 Stars great flavor
this is a great all around coffee it has nice hazelnut flavor and is not a real strong coffee so its good any time of day this will always be something we have around I would suggest that if you have the different cup size try the middle size it might get to weak for you on the large setting

5 Stars Great coffee!
Coffee has a really nice aroma, great flavor, and makes a very satisfying cup of hazelnut coffee. Not too strong or too weak, even with a full 8 oz of water added. Actually, it’s the only flavor I’ve tried so far for the Gloria Jean’s coffees, but it’s one of my favorites. (Can’t wait to try the butter toffee flavor!) I just ordered the variety pack.

2 Stars Got wrong coffee!!!
I ordered Gloria Jean’s Hazelnut Coffee and was sent regular Gloria Jean’s coffee. It was quite a disappointment!!! I sure hope it doesn’t happen again, if I decide to take the chance.

Gloria Jeans Coffees K Cup Flavored Coffee Variety for Keurig Brewers 24 Count Boxes Pack of 2

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Nice Coffee
I enjoy the variety in this coffee pack. Some of the flavors are a little weak, but I love the strength and overall flavor.

4 Stars Nice Variety
This is a good variety of flavored coffee. It’s nice to have on hand when you’re tired of regular coffee.

5 Stars Gloria Jean’s Coffees Variety Pack
I found the assortment to be a good variety and all brewed at the strength that I like.

5 Stars My Kind of Coffee
This coffee is delicious. My wife and I love the Gloria Jean Flavored coffees because they are smooth and mellow. If you like the spoon to stand up by itself in your coffee, this is not the brand for you.

3 Stars Just OK
These are very average K-cup flavors and roasts. I wasn’t impressed like like I was with Timothy’s, Emeril’s or Caribou coffee. Still good, but not a great cup of coffee you should expect out of a Keuring. My favs – Timothy’s German Chocolate and Caribou Coffee Reg Roast. That’s what’s nice about the variety pack, try it.. you may like it.
