Keurig Coffee costs $130 a kilo
With holidays coming up and coffee and coffee machines being the most popular kitchen items these days, why not go shop at a Montreal coffee institution open since 1910? Stopping by Cafe Union today, I found all kinds of small to big coffee items you can offer up for the holidays.
Made-to-measure coffee has brought java lovers to this business all these years. At around $20 a kilo, it’s quite a deal when you consider that Keurig costs you $130 a kilo.
This wholesaler roasts the coffee right here, so you can choose one or a custom blend from amongst the espresso, melange maison (regular and strong), french press, Kenya, Panama, Columbia Supremo, Fair Trade, decaf and Swiss washed decaf.
Those who like flavors can buy Bavarian chocolate, Irish cream or hazelnut vanilla or one of the 30 flavored syrups (vanilla, hazelnut, caramel, etc.) to add in.
They sell espresso machines (Saeco, Gaggia, Rancilio, Pavoni, Breville, Quick Mill, Jura, La Spaziale) and teapots, too.
For smaller stocking stuffers, the Cafelat line of barista accessories, tamping mat, knockbox for grinds, milk pitcher for the froth as well as Urnex washing products for pots, grinders and frothers are there.
How about buying a Keurig re-usable coffee container so you can put your own blend of coffee (for a Lot less) into a Keurig machine? Nespresso makes blend-your-own containers.
Drink products like iced cappuccino, chai latte concentrate, Twinings teas and Mighty Leaf tisanes now line the shelves. Free delivery is offered for 5 pounds or more. Repairs to coffee machines are available.
