Bring On Halloween: Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice From Green Mountain Coffee
The Drink: Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice From Green Mountain Coffee
Type: K-Cup
Overall Rating: 3.5 Out Of 5 Coffee Mugs
My birthday is on Halloween and October is one of my favorite months, but I’m not usually a fan of Pumpkin Spice coffees. I wasn’t expecting to like Green Mountain Coffee’s Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice, but I did.
As it was brewing Keurig, I was worried that I wasn’t going to like it. Writing negative reviews are never fun, but it turns out that I had nothing to worry about this time. I took one sniff of the finished product and my mind changed. The aroma smelled like a delicious spicy pumpkin pie that was fresh out of the oven.
The first sip had a smooth, nutty flavor that mixed with a scrumptious pumpkin spice taste. It tasted darker and heavier in the after taste. I’m not usually the kind of person that adds milk or cream to my coffee, but a little bit of milk really completed the taste this time.
A 24 pack of Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice from Green Mountain Coffee costs $9.95 at 1 Quick Cup.
Overall, I liked the Pumpkin Spice from Green Mountain Coffee and it earned a solid 3.5 on the Daily Shot Of Coffee K-Cup scale. (The K-Cup rating is versus other K-cups, not whole bean coffees). It was better than Pumpkin Spice coffees that I’ve tried in the past and I would have no problem suggesting it to someone that’s looking for a flavored K-Cup.

Interesting… I’ve only tried once a ‘pumpkin flavored’ coffee before, I believe it was couple years ago when Peet’s Coffee brought out a seasonal version of it. It wasn’t that great, but after reading your review I’ll like to give ‘pumpkin coffee’ a shot, especially in this autumn season.
Have you tried any other pumpkin ‘commercial’ brands (available in supermarkets or mainstream coffee stores) that you would recommend?
Not off the top of my head. Most of the ones that I’ve tried were on the subpar side of things.
i really can’t remember other pumpkin drinks that i tolerated well Mike.
i DO enjoy pumpkin seeds and pumpkin pie but putting that
taste into something as a side or minor key flavor really isn’t
doing it for me.
now…coffee with pumpkin pie?
mmmmm!
I could go for some pumpkin right about now!
as an aside…i do love that photo of what looks
to be a very large pumpkin loving spider all wrapped
around the k-cup.
Thanks, I’m passing the word along to my girlfriend. It was her idea.
very scary coffee beasts… great gift idea!
I’m pretty excited that you had to test this and not me, I like Pumpkin pie and seeds but the crazy ice creams and coffee’s eeeek. Not interested.
