The red, white, and blue Popsicle has made its way into a coffee pod. And yes, the flavor list is cherry, white lemon, and blue raspberry.
Java Factory sells Popsicle Firecracker flavored coffee as part of its Ice Cream Truck collection. A 12-count pack was listed at $12.95 when checked, which works out to about $1.08 per pod before tax and any shipping.
That familiar rocket-shaped ice pop is the inspiration. What goes into your machine is flavored coffee made with Arabica beans, in pods the company says work with Keurig K-Cup brewers, including 2.0.
They actually used the Popsicles to develop it
In its September 22 flavor-development notes, Java Factory says its team tasted the actual Firecracker Popsicles alongside coffee samples while working on the blend.
The tricky part, according to the company, was the lemon. It says using a lighter touch helped that note fit with the roast instead of taking over the cup. The goal was for the three flavors to register together as Firecracker.
There’s a Klondike version, too
If chocolate and vanilla sound more like your morning coffee situation, Java Factory also sells Klondike flavored coffee. The company describes milk-chocolate and vanilla-ice-cream notes inspired by the original bar.
That one is also $12.95 for 12 pods, with the same listed Keurig compatibility. So the choice here is a fruity ice-pop flavor or a chocolate-and-vanilla one, without a price difference between the two packs.
Both are listed as limited-edition Flavor52 releases. They can be bought individually through Java Factory, and each listing offers a one-time purchase. Check the current price and availability before ordering, especially if one particular flavor is the reason you’re there.
