Realizing that Keurigs are not the best coffee available, but they are the most practical - - I wanted to start this thread on which k-cups people like.



A few of my favorites:











also liked these two but they both seem less than full strength, like there's not enough coffee in the pod or something (which is odd because they both have teh same non-standard k-cup pod that is eco friendly)






I've tried all kinds, but these have been my favorites. The Donut SHop brand is good, but there are a slew of knock-offs that are not the same. Starbucks was overpriced in my opinion.


So while I may prefer the medium to bold roasts, curious to see what others recommend and enjoy?

The San Antonio blend is a new fav in our household.

Black Rifle Coffee Company CAF and Just Black are also great.

They're a monastery in Wyoming or one of the Dakotas who roast really awesome coffees.

Most practical? Do you consider paying $50 for a pound of coffee practical?

Practical is not completely a financial metric.
  • No mess.
  • Easy to get to just a single serving.
  • Easy to get two cups quickly when you have people who want dramatically different blends

Obviously it is not the cheapest format, but you never have wasted coffee. You don't need filters. There is almost no clean-up. And it offers a wide wide variety of pretty good quality coffees. So yeah, that's practical.

I typically get k-cups for $0.50 each. That's not super cheap, but way less than Starbucks or even McDonalds. So there's that.

Community coffee is the best I've found. I go for their Cafe Special. With any K-cup, don't brew more than 6 ounces. If you want more coffee, brew two.

San Francisco Bay. Their french roast is the only non-starbucks K-cup that will brew a strong enough cup. $.30/each at Costco.

We drink Cafe Bustela now. I only drink one cup per day so I want good strong coffee.

Usually, price is the trade-off for something that's easy/convenient/practical. So yes, it can expensive but practical.

These are great! It's the Brooklyn Beans variety pack, their flavors are really strong, my wife didn't even add sugar to them for once. $21 for a 40 count makes it even better.

San Francisco Bay was mentioned earlier. Their Fog Chaser blend is my go to. Strong, bold, smooth, and cheap. Just like I like my women.

I rarely drink coffee but the wife does so we have a Keurig. She likes Angelino's so we have a subscription that we can turn off and on at will. We usually buy 2 boxes (24 per box) so the total for each order is $24.95 shipped. I think we have a referral code that can help us both if anyone is interested. I'll go find the referral code and post it. They also have a sample pack offer for about $5.
