Gevalia Kaffe

So I was FINALLY selected from HouseParty.com to host the Gevalia For The Love Of Foam At Home house party. I couldn't wait to dive right into the kit as soon as it arrived. It contained 3 boxes of K Cups for the Keurig ( cappuccino, caramel macchiato & mocha latte ), 2 coupons for free additional boxes, plus $1 off coupons for guests ). I had to just had to know exactly how they taste, so over the next 3 days I tried each one. I considered trying them all on the same day, but I'm a little lactose intolerant, and every single one of these is made with real milk. Though individually I had no issues.
So first things first everything they have in common. They all taste great. As I stated they are all made with real milk. You use the froth packet then brew your espresso k cup over it as you normally would. I like to then give it a light stir to make sure everything melted. You will generate a  good amount of foam this way too. They retail for about $8-12 depending on the box count. Available both online, and in most supermarkets.
Now to the differences. Cappuccino is probably my favorite. It's the least sweet of the bunch. My guests who tried it said that they thought it needed additional sugar. I didn't think so. It's smooth, not sweet, and lightly roasted.  This is for the true coffee connoisseur. Second is the caramel macchiato. It is sweet, but not overly sweet. Very rich, and creamy. It definitely tastes similar to the more expensive Starbucks variety for a fraction of the cost. This was also the second favorite of the majority of guests. Third was the mocha latte. It's a little too sweet for my tastes. It reminds me of hot chocolate more than coffee. It's has a very velvety finish. However, most of my guests who sampled this loved this one the best. It was the only one I didn't have any left over from.
So all in all the party was a success. I found another brand of coffee that I love ( would be my favorite if it was fair trade ). It's easily found in my local store. Inexpensive. It's like a little escape in a cup. For the few minutes I drink my coffee in the early am, I feel relaxed. I bask in it's warmth and deliciousness. As if transported to a café with my own private barista.
Now the actual date of my party is not supposed to be until November 16th. I will have one then, but I already had a pre party too! That's how great this line is! Everyone is talking about how much they LOVE Gevalia Kaffes.
