As many of you already know, I’m a surrogate and currently in my second trimester. One of the things that I miss most with being pregnant is my morning dose of caffeine. I don’t drink, I don’t smoke and caffeine is my one guilty pleasure. But since I can’t enjoy it like I once could, I have to find other things that help to fill that void.
As a K-Cup Ambassador, I get the opportunity to try all different varieties of K-Cups and each month I look forward to the arrival of the next shipment. My husband gets to enjoy all the coffee and I get to enjoy all the specialty drinks. Although some of the specialty drinks do contain caffeine, it’s not nearly the amount that I would consume in a cup of coffee.
This month I received a sampler pack of Cafe Escapes K-Cups that included Café Caramel, Café Vanilla, Mocha, Milk Hot Chocolate, Milk Dark Chocolate and Chai Latte. The first one I chose was the Milk Hot Chocolate and my husband chose the Mocha. Within minutes of making our choices, we had a nice hot drink ready for us to enjoy. I honestly don’t know how we ever made without our Keurig machine. It makes enjoying a nice hot (and cold) beverage super simple and super fast.
At only 70 calories or less, Cafe Escapes offers a rich, satisfying, and indulgent drink for you to enjoy each and every day, much cheaper than you’d get from your local coffee shop. And lets not forget you can enjoy it right in your own home.

I love the Cafe Escapes Dark Chocolate–it’s so good. I seem to have a new-found love of those flavored creamers now, so after my drink is done brewing from the Keurig, I top it off with a splash of peppermint creamer. It’s really good and comforting on a chilly morning.

I try not to drink too much caffeine, but my husband just turned me on to coffee a few months ago.
Nichol says
I just bought the milk hot chocolate not a fan:( Very watered down tasting to me
Crystal says
Did you do it on the right setting? I know it’s a silly question but I did ours on the smallest cup setting and it was delicious and not watered down at all.
Kelly @ A Girl Worth Saving says
I didn’t start drinking coffee until after I had my son and I don’t know how I would make it without it. This does sound tasty though.

Erin F says
I know that the cafe escapes doesn’t have as much caffeine as regular, but do you know where I can find the exact amounts? I love the Cafe Vanilla, but don’t want to overdo it on the caffeine. I’ve searched everywhere, but haven’t been able to find the info. Thanks in advance!
Crystal says
Hi Erin,
I do not know the answer to that but let me see if I can find out for you. I’ll update if I get an answer.
All the best,
Crystal
Crystal says
Hi Erin,
It’s me again. Sorry for the delay in finding you an answer on the caffeine amounts. I received a response back from the company and wanted to share it with you.
Milk Chocolate: Estimated at less than 10 mg per serving.
Dark Chocolate: Estimated at less than 10 mg per serving.
Café Mocha: Estimated at less than 50 mg per serving (approximately half a cup of Arabica coffee).
Chai Latte: Estimated at less than 5 mg.
Café Caramel: Estimated at less than 20 mg per serving.
Café Vanilla: Estimated at less than10 mg per serving.
**Note: In comparison, a cup of Arabica coffee contains 100-150 mg per serving.
I hope this helps!
Mitch says
Thanks so much for the caffeine info. I received my Cafe Vanilla as a gift. I figured there couldn’t be much coffee in the K-cups because the cups weighed so much less compared to a regular coffee k-cup when removed after brewing. Granted, the taste is great but in effect a person is drinking almost straight creamer. I am using mine up by combining it with a k-cup of regular coffee.
