Gevalia Caramel Macchiato
I don't drink my coffee with sugar. I do like flavored coffees but still enjoy them without the added sugar. When I decided to give Gevalia's Caramel Macchiato a try I had my doubts and when I read the instructions I doubted the success of this product even more.
The instructions said to pour the "foaming" packet into my cup. Just that dry packet into an empty cup. No way was this going to create a foam. Then you simply make your coffee using your Keurig as you normally would. Well, I was wrong. It did foam.
Now for the taste test. I was wrong again. It was delicious, sweetness and all. And the foam that I thought would never show itself lasted all the way to the last swallow. For me as a non-sweet coffee drinker this could easily become my dessert drink. Something that I would drink on a cold day instead of hot chocolate. Plus it comes in, so far, 2 other flavors... Cappuccino and Mocha Latte. Can't wait to try both.
So how do I rate this product? On a scale of 1 - 10 I give it a 10!

Peet's Coffee
I've tried 2 of this company's coffees. The first,Cafe Solano, which is a medium roast. The beans are a blend of vibrant and aromatic beans from Africa, the Americas and the Indo Pacific. When they say this coffee is Lively and Aromatic - they weren't kidding. This coffee was very pleasing. On a scale of 1 - 10 I give this coffee an 8. I don't know if I've ever drank a 10.
The second coffee was Cafe Domingo which is also a medium roast. This coffee come from three Latin American beans giving it a smooth taste with a hint of toffee sweetness and a clean crisp finish. They described this one perfectly! I love my flavored coffees but sometimes the flavor is simply too strong. To correct this I mix my flavored coffee 1/4 to 3/4 with regular. This gives me just a touch of flavor. With the Cafe Domingo, the hint of toffee is so light and delicate that there is no need to dilute. This is a great morning as well as evening coffee. On a scale of 1 - 10 I give this one an 8.
I will continue to buy both.
