Cafe Escapes Chai Latte K-Cups, 16 Count (Packaging May Vary)

Please note, this review is separated in terms of the product itself (which I recommend), and then why not to buy the Keruig System if you as basing it completely off of this product as my wife and I did. Café Escapes Chai Latte Product Review: This product is my wife's favorite K-Cup for our Keurig coffee machine. As such, this bulk packaging allows it to be sold for a cheaper price when compared to in-store purchasing. I highly recommend this product on flavor alone. The shipping did take a bit longer than expected, but the product arrived undamaged and ready to brew. Therefore, if you don't mind waiting for it to be shipped, then this is a great deal. Why Not To By A Keurig System For This Product Alone: Reason #1: Not a Good All Purpose Machine First off, as mentioned above, my wife and I bought this machine mainly off of trying the Café Escapes Chai Latte Product at a friends house. We have tried other good K-Cups too, but this product really stood out in our minds. Once we learned you could buy filters to brew your own coffee grounds in a Keurig system too, we decided it would make a great addition to our kitchen. However, after we got it, the system seems to brew the grounds to quickly to properly maintain the flavor, even at smaller cup settings. As such, we find ourselves utilizing our old machine (Brewing Pot System) more. It saves on wasted coffee grounds and creates a more flavorful cup of coffee. Reason #2: Costs Add Up = Expensive First off, a good multifunctional Keurig System is not the cheapest system. When you start adding K-Cup after K-Cup to your daily routine, this system really does add up in unexpected costs overtime when compared to an older pot brewing system. Reason #3: Not Reliable We have had our Keurig System for 4 months now. It has already clogged up 6 times after utilizing products like this Café Escapes Chai Latte Product. The powdery contents seem to get stuck in the hot water distributor. As such, if you do not run a test of "hot water only" both before (to make sure previous contents did not somehow solidify and clog the lines later) and after (to make sure the lines are cleaned out) each cup you make, you can most likely expect your lines to clog and send a reduced stream of stagnant water into your new K-Cup. This basically ruins the contents of the K-Cup and places strain on the system's water line. However, this issue seems mainly attributed to the powder filled K-Cups like this each cup you make, and not the Coffee Ground and Tea K-Cups. Reason #4: The Machines Might Be Getting Phased Out Soon Recently, my wife and I noticed a new Keurig system that was introduced called the Vue. These cups are not sized the same as the K-Cups and thus lead me to believe our system might be replaced later in the future. Therefore, if it does get phased out, and not K-Cups are made later, the system will only be good for the filter K-Cups when brewing your own coffee grounds. However, as I mentioned prior, the system does not make a good cup of "Coffee Ground-Based" coffee when compared to the original pot systems. Therefore, they would basically be useless at that time. In understand supply and demand, and I know companies need to maintain profits, so if this machine and the K-Cups are phased out in a few years, that would not surprise me at all. Once again, my wife and I love this Café Escapes Chai Latte Product; so much that it was one of the major factors when purchasing the K-Cup Keurig system. Therefore, in terms of the product by itself, it is a great deal if you already own a Keurig system. However, the only issue we have is with the Keurig system itself. Therefore, if there is an amazon costumer considering the Keurig System because of this product, I hope this helps in your decisions.

We love it!

If you like Chai Latte, this is the best one for Kuerig’s!

I love these! I add a little milk and cinnamon to the cup prior to brewing. Will definitely purchase again.

Love it

I ordered this not expecting TOO much, but definitely HOPING for a beverage that was not only delicious, but that looked good in my favorite floral penis mug. Café Escapes Chai Latte coffee definitely delivers and is a product that gives you great bean for your buck. The flavor for a small mug is full bodied with a pleasant after-taste. It has a flavor split of 80:20 (Chai : Coffee), which is perfect in my opinion, but your mileage may vary depending on your genetics and taste preferences. The scent is pleasant and although I indulge in obscene amounts of whip sometimes, it also has visual appeal swirling and steaming in your container of choice. My biggest issue was that if I used the larger cup setting, the flavor was watered down significantly unless I doubled up on the K-cup on the 'small' setting. Oh, and my wife kept drinking all of it, which absolutely sucks. Beware, buyers - your house/flat mates WILL raid your box - don't say I didn't warn you.

LOve the Taste
