Treat yourself with the NEW Van Houtte Specialty Collection
I love my coffee. It’s pretty much an addiction for me – I start my day with one and end it with one too – and usually a few more in between those two. I usually drink my coffee black but every now and then I like to treat myself to a specialty coffee from a coffeehouse. There is just something about the frothy sweetness of a specialty coffee to make me feel like I am really indulging and enjoying life. Honestly, it feels a thousand times better than sitting down with a piece of chocolate cake.
Thanks to the Van Houtte® Specialty Collection, and my Keurig 2.0, I am able to enjoy some of my coffee house favourites, such as cappuccino’s, moccaccino’s, caramel macchiato’s and vanilla lattes, right from the comfort of home.
The Van Houtte® Specialty Collection is available in boxes of 6 or 12 and each beverage makes use of a packet along with a K-Cup® pod.
The instructions are simple enough:
- Empty packet into your favourite 10 oz (296 ml) mug.
- 2Brew your K-Cup® pod using the 8 oz (236 ml) format on your Keurig® K-cup® brewer.
- Stir well & enjoy!
I did find that I preferred to use the 10 oz format rather than the 8. I also noticed that I achieved a smoother consistency and better froth if I stirred vigorously while it was brewing rather than after. When I stirred after, especially if I left it for a few minutes first then the powder from the packet wouldn’t dissolve as nicely. Of course, I would start by just following the recommended instructions and go from there as your experience may be different from mine.
The result of each flavour though is a delicious hot beverage that tastes like it came straight from a coffee house. I think my favourite flavour is the Vanilla Latte, although I seriously am enjoying all four flavours. I just can’t get enough of the creamy, perfectly sweetened specialty coffees from Van Houtte® Specialty Collection.
Vanilla Latte – Prepared with rich coffee, Vanilla latte unveils the sweet flavours of vanilla bean with a silky froth finale.
Mocaccino – Chocolate and coffee marry perfectly, uniting the round flavours of fresh coffee, slightly sweet cocoa notes, and a luscious swirl of froth.
Caramel Macchiato – Decadent Caramel Macchiato blends a fresh coffee flavour with the irresistible taste of sweet, buttery caramel with a touch of froth.
Cappuccino – Prepared with rich coffee and the perfect quantity of froth, this Cappuccino is subtly sweet and deliciously creamy.
I love how easy and convenient the Van Houtte® Specialty Collection is, and that I can enjoy a specialty coffee any time of day or night without ever having to leave my house.

I just finished VH vanilla latte! I add 4 oz water to dry and mix it up before the 8 oz STRONG coffee addition… LOVE IT!

I am going to have to pick some of those up! They sound awesome.
These flavors sound wonderful! I love caramel and chocolate together. Yum!
All of these flavors sound delicious. I’m a huge fan of flavor in my coffee. It’s a great way to start the day.
This sounds really good. I am a big coffee lover myself. I don’t have the new 2.0 system so my questions is do they make it for the older system?
I actually enjoy this brand of coffee! It looks so good in your cup too!
Okay, they all sound amazing but that mocaccino sounds amazing. I haven’t seen these but will be on the outlook for them. They sound delicious.
I’ve never even heard of Van Houtte but I really want to try it! I have a keurig and I am obsessed with coffee so it feels like a perfect fit! 🙂 I cant wait to have the cappuccino.
Ooh I haven’t managed to try any of these yet. I need to pick some up!
These sound great! Hubby has a singer serve machine at work… I”m sure he would love to try these out!
This is fantastic coffee. I will have to pick up some Caramel Macchiato to try. There are so many delicious flavors to choose from.
The final latte would be right up my husbands alley. We have a Kuerig so I will have to check these out for Father’s day.
I know so many people that are just crazy for their gourmet coffee! They will absolutely love this!
I’m not a big coffee drinker. I love the way it smells though.
Wow, I hadn’t heard of this collection yet! Sounds like I need to. I want to try the caramel machiatto first!
I don’t know what I’d do without my Keurig! I need it to live!
That Caramel Macchiato looks delish. Such a great way to entertain guests with class! Love these flavors.
Mmmm, I love the Van Houtte line. I love the Caramel Machiatto and now I want a cup!
All of the specialty coffee’s are so awesome… I actually like them all! But if I had to pick just one I think it would be the Caramel Macchiato.
These flavors sound so delicious
