Favorite Keurig Pods?

[Neal]

I'm out of k-cups. What are your favorite brand/flavor k-cups (pods)? Off to the store tomorrow to stock up.

The coffee mecca of San Francisco awaits you where they brew a cup of coffee one at a time and charge 4.45 cents a cup. The line is out the door usually. Crazy. Being a coffee aficionado, I like SBUX and Peets K cups. If you want something that is tasty and inexpensive, Amazon has their own house brand but they send you a 100 pods. Comes in Kona and Colombian flavor.

At .30 a pod, the price is right.

Found my favorite Coffee about a year ago...Eight O'clock Coffee. Comes in grounds and K-cup. really like this flavor and I've tried them all over the years.

Me neither. Guess it comes down to anything except Starbucks. I hate someone who has been able to convince people that coffee is worth that much.

In my recent trip to the Grocery store I decided to tour a few countries. I got K-pods from Ethiopia, Columbia, and can't remember who else if more. This morning I tried Ethiopia, was delicious, a dark chocolaty richer flavor. Columbia was a little less rich with mediocre flavor (to me). Now for the coffee aficionados, I know this is keurig and whatever dried nonsense they put in the pods but so far just experimenting with this.

Another option that some do is they make a separate filter that allows you to grind the beans and use your particular machine. Just make sure it’s compatible with your particular model. I agree the pods are simpler.

Ethiopian Yirgacheffe is one of our favorites; just finished a cup. If you get a chance to try Sumatra Mandheling, you may like it as well; we do. We do like the bolder flavors rather than the lighter ones like those from Central America.

Thanks - yes I do have one of these and use it at times too. Sometimes the French press sometimes the Keurig.

Not sure why old thread was closed. I was asking this question myself as I was searching for better tasting coffee.

My latest tries were Black Rifle, Just Black, and AK Expresso. The former seemed a little bitter, whereas the latter was pretty good black. The Just black, seemed to need creamer for a better taste.

I recently ate at Outback and they had Paul deli a coffee, which was absolutely delicious. I will have to get the empty pods to try this, as it is not available in pods.

I also have Peet’s which was not bad (similar to Black Rifle AK Expresso but did not have the rich taste of the deLima.

Will update as I try others

Anyone find a good durable reusable kcup that does not get grinds in your cup?

 

[Neal]

I think reusable or not it's possible in either. I don't recall having any issues with the reusable k-cups I've used in the past but it's been a while.

We have been using this coffee pot since last Dec.

Has worked well and does ground coffee for me as well as pods for the wife that only drinks one cup a day.

Ninja Pods & Grounds Single-Serve... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C29LZNLD?tag=rvf01-20

For the grounds I use these filters and three scoops of the ground I am using (Seattles Best dark roast normally).

MUCXNIIY 1-2 Cup Brown Coffee... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BNGF4WTY?tag=rvf01-20

Has worked well for us and grounds go in the trash easily. Filter holder is a permanent screen so any that come out of the paper are still not in the cup.

 

[AbdRahim]

Ok. Tasting Peet’s dark roast Dickason’s blend. The taste is very similar to the Black Rifle Just Black, but slightly less bitter. All initial tastings are black, nothing in it. Both are fine with creamer, or a favorite protein drink, which is what I use for creamer.

@TJ&LadyDi: I ordered some Ethiopian Yirgacheffe. Will taste it shortly.​

 

[AbdRahim]

Today, I tried the Ethiopian Yirgacheffe. It is better with creamer and a small touch of sweetness (never sugar). This has a unique flavor, but not the flavor of the coffee in the good steak houses. Perhaps one cannot get this in a kcup.

So far my favorite may still be Newman’s Own.

I used to like Newman's, but, thanks to someone on a different forum, I tried and now love Community Coffee & Chicory.

Don't be a hater! Some people LOVE StarBucks. I agree with you. I could drink it everyday at work as we have a free StarBucks coffee machine. Can't stand it. But thats why they make different brands!
Convince people? Might convince you to try it but to like it?
You either do or you do not!
