Here We Go Again!
Last Update: That should be it. Except for a tweak here and there. Hope it works for you. One last thing: Stop by and visit the newest member to my blog family. It’s not much yet but it will be. Smoothie Blend … I’m sure I’ll get some caffeinated smoothies going on there before long.
Update: Didn’t want to make a new post with this. I am currently working on this theme. Some things are missing and design may change while you are on here. I’m working on it as fast as I can. Thank you!
Upgraded WP to 2.6 and what happens? My current theme, my pretty SEO opt. theme is not compatible. It just freaking went blank. Here’s the old one, please bear with me while I find another one I like and work on it… again.
Keurig Elite B40 Coffee Maker Review
Review in Coffee Makers on the Keurig Gourmet Single Cup Brewer - B40
I’ve tried several single cup coffee makers but actually have only managed to review two of them. One is actually considered a press while the other is a single cup brewing machine. I thought since I do have the Keurig Elite B40 sitting on the counter, I should review it.
Do I like it? Well, yes, I do but I have yet to find one that I want to tell you that I love and can’t do without. The main thing that I have a problem with is the coffee taste when I compare it with a full brewed pot in a different coffee maker. One should be able to love a single cup not just tolerate it. I exaggerate though. The difference is very small and only one who wants their coffee to sprout legs and walk on its own would notice that difference. It really is a bit more than tolerable. And with all the newest k-cups on the market, I am certain that you (and myself) can manage to find something to your liking.
Just considering the coffee maker its self, I do love it. It is simple to use and makes a cup quickly. I can have a fresh cup within a 30 seconds from start to finish with the water pre-heated and about 60 seconds if you have had the machine off and need to wait for the water to heat. And that is perfect if you are in a hurry thus making the taste tolerable. It is very simple to clean. Once brewing has stopped, you can just remove the k-cup and throw it away wiping up any liquid that has drip onto the drip pan. You’ll want to clean the k-cup holder from time to time.
The Keurig Elite B40 has 2 brew sizes: 9.25 oz. & 7.25 oz. and removable 48oz. water reservoir plus a removable drip tray. It weighs about 15 pounds full and runs on 1500 watts.
You can leave the machine plugged in in order to keep the water pre-heated. Been somewhat green-ish though, I do turn mine off for the most part. The only difference is you’ll have to wait a bit longer for the cup of coffee to brew. Also, there is the issue of those empty plastic k-cup empties. Those can add up over time but I am sure sooner or later I (or someone else) will figure out something useful for those. Not as bad as diapers I’d say.
The cost is affordable. About $99 through Keurig with a free 18 count k-cup package and FREE shipping or get about the same deal through Amazon (see image in review here)
I do recommend the Keurig Elite B40 and I wish you many single cups of coffee love. ![]()

Good News on Coffee from Oprah’s Dr. Oz
Just thought I’d slip this quick thought in today. According to Oprah’s famous Dr. Oz, studies have shown, especially for men, that a reasonable amount of coffee can actually reduce liver cancer and to be effective with, or with symptoms of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Awesome! He suggests 24 ounces a day to be a ‘rational’ amount to serve up to yourself. Be careful of those side-effects. Migraines, nervousness, and heart palpitations. Certainly ‘good news’ for us coffee fanatics!
Easy Coffee Milkshake
Making a coffee milkshake from the bare essentials is a breeze and very tasty too! Just follow these simple instructions and you can enjoy a yummy coffee shake.
Place two scoops of vanilla ice cream in a blender. Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup milk and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla. Then add 1 rounded teaspoon instant (dark) coffee. Blend to suit. Add or take away the amount of milk. It just depends on how thick you like it. There you have it! A great coffee milk shake fit for a queen. Can’t get any easier than this. Unless you buy ready made coffee ice cream but obviously, this is something to do in a pinch. Enjoy!

Yay! Got the old blog publish issue fixed!
I’ve been down for a while. You could read but I could not publish. After toil and trouble though, I’ve fixed it (on my own no less) and can now publish. I have a couple of pending reviews to publish (see links in upcoming reviews above) and then…. I am ‘yet again’ changing the layout. I am having a fit trying to find something functional yet satisfying for my theme. Plus, I need to upgrade my blog software. That could be a disaster. lol Hang in there! ![]()
