San Francisco Bay Variety Pack Original K-Cup Compatible Coffee Pods, 80 ct

I love coffee! I don't overdo it, and usually have 2 cups in the morning all year-round and maybe another cup in the evening during colder months. I'm just a regular coffee drinker who loves a good, well-balanced cup of coffee. This variety pack satisfies that need for a good cup! I wish I could describe the flavors with terms a connoisseur might use, but all I can say is that I found each flavor satisfying, delicious and balanced. I will purchase again. The pods themselves worked great - - I had no grounds in my cup, no drips or mishaps while brewing, etc. The pods were packed by flavor in several sealed bags, making for easy storage and keeping them fresh. As for the actual coffee content, I found it to be generous and plentiful. The pods are full and the company is definitely not stingy. I like that these are easy to recycle and compost, and there is much more to compost and much less to recycle. I've been using my own refillable pods for the last two years, and I bought these more out of want for convenience and change ; instead, I found coffee that I like so much, I haven't used my own refillable pods since I bought these, and I probably won't for a while. (I plan to purchase this variety pack again, so I may have to give away a bag or two of what I have on-hand ; I don't want to waste it.) The Fog Chaser had me worried - - would it be too strong or jack me up? Not at all! It's perhaps stronger than the others, but deliciously so. My mother says this is her favorite, and she rarely likes a strong coffee. This is my favorite, too, at least for now. (I'm torn between this and the Rain Forest, but I truly enjoy them all.) The breakfast blend was bright, balanced, and lighter than the rest---but not too light. I can easily see this being a favorite of many, especially for those who prefer a milder cup. I did find this a little bolder than the average breakfast blend, but that's not to say it's super strong - - it's not. Organic Rain Forest reminded me of a Costa Rica coffee I had years ago and loved. I compared it to the Rain Forest coffee we had on hand and to a Hawaiian Blend, and ours were both bland and tasteless in comparison. I won't go as far to say it's the best Rain Forest coffee I have had, but it's quite tasty and stands firmly on its own as delicious. I haven't tried the French Roast, but my brother did when he visited, and he said it was yummy. It sure smelled good! His girlfriend had the same type, and she enjoyed it so much that she had me send her a link so she could purchase her own packs. I'm so happy I took a chance on this purchase. I was a little hesitant to buy a large quantity of pods, but I had tried the brand before and recalled that I liked it (I think some pods came with my first Keurig, and I also purchased some of their other pods a year or so back before I stopped buying pods altogether ) , plus, the good reviews made me feel confident. Overall, I'd give this variety pack a solid "A" bordering on "A+". I'll definitely buy again, both this particular variety pack as well as some of their others.( I also plan to gift some.) One final thought : I can't stress enough how much I love these pods. The coffee is great, yes, but I also love that there is so little waste. With the original Keurig pods, I felt guilty anytime I used them and saw all that plastic. I couldn't keep doing that - - the waste and garbage was astounding. I can't go look right now, but I'm pretty sure the top part of the pods is a thick paper/cardboard /foil and paper... something like that , and overall there is barely any plastic... if any at all, especially compared to other pods. Maybe just the little ring part that connects the pod to the top of the pod...? I'm not sure. I know that I feel much better about using these, and even though there is some waste when compared to the refillable pods, I can feel good about using these and about supporting a company who at least cares about reducing waste and tries. That's important to my family, and it makes the coffee taste that much better. ;) TL; DR: This is good stuff.... Delicious coffee generously packed in recyclable pods. Buy it! It's yummy!

I *finally* found the freshest, best tasting, quality coffee for a Keurig. Comes in separated sealed packs to ensure freshness and tastes life Coffee rather than coffee flavored water. My new favorite coffee brand.

For this review I tried each flavor black by itself, on the boldest (smallest) cup size, all in one sitting. Here's my thoughts on the 4 different types: #1 Breakfast Blend - I prefer light coffee in the morning, and this THE richest and smoothest k-cup breakfast blend I've ever had. It's light, but still gave me a good jolt of energy. Great taste, no complaints. #2 French Roast - A wonderfully balanced medium-roast, but a tad the light side. While the french roast smells great, it doesn't show up quite as well in flavor. Like the breakfast blend, it goes down extremely smooth. It has a great aftertaste and is a fantastic choice overall. #3 Rainforest Blend - The most bold out of the four -- I really like it. I'd say people who enjoy medium to dark roasts will like this stuff the most, but this may not cut it for the true bold drinkers. The flavors are strong without being too bitter or acidic, and it's very smooth. Don't let the green label fool you. This stuff is NOT decaf and contains quite a bit of caffeine. #4 Fog Chaser - Still smooth, but not my cup of joe. A noticeable bitter burnt aftertaste. For having so many great reviews, I was personally disappointed in both it's strength and flavor. I'd recommend you pick up the Rainforest Blend instead, but make no mistake - this is still quality coffee. The biggest win here is the price. At less than .50 per cup, this is hands down the biggest bang for your buck. Make sure these cups will work with your Keurig model -- so far I haven't had any problems with exploding grounds or design faults. Be aware that these have foil tops and filters underneath, unlike traditional plastic cups. I haven't had any problems like some users, but I do have one issue: I'm not sure if it's the biodegradable packaging, but immediately following brewing the coffee has a slight scent that is akin to the smell of burning rubber. You can't smell it in the beans, nor when it's brewing, but only when you're taking a drink and your nose is right up next to it. It would be easily masked by sugar/creamer. Either way, it fades after a few minutes and isn't enough to turn me off the product. I'd recommend buying the variety pack first so you can try each type out yourself. They're all great choices. But everyone's taste is different, and just because one flavor receives more rave reviews, that doesn't necessarily make it better. You also don't know who's been reviewing after adding lord knows what to their coffee. But I would definitely purchase this again, and recommend that you do, too!

I love the coffees, but I have had several where the filter blew out in it and I ended up with a bunch of grounds in my cup. It always seems to happen when I'm in a hurry and don't have time to strain the coffee😡

The cost is higher than many other pods but the flavor is full bodied, rich and delightful. I am a very thrifty shopper and price conscious. In this case I don't mind a bit of a premium cost for a premium coffee. It's worth it...

First of all, this is an unsolicited review. I'm just a regular guy who likes a good cup of coffee in the morning. Since these are relatively unique I thought I'd give my thoughts. I bought the 120 serving Variety pack. This comes with 30 servings each of 4 different coffees and are sealed in 12 vacuum sealed packs to keep fresh. Being that the pods don't have a plastic bottom portion like a normal K-cup (only a very durable filter) once you open each pack you'll want to put in a ziplock bag to keep fresh. If you have been using normal K-cups for any length of time and are like me, you miss the smell of a freshly opened can/pack of coffee. Well, you get this back again every time you tear open a new 10 pack! I like all 4 coffees in the variety pack but prefer the Breakfast Blend over the other three and probably will just buy that going forward. The French Roast was my next favorite. I read earlier reviews that they had issues with the cups leaking coffee grounds into the machines, but I've made about 40 cups so far and haven't experienced that so I guess they have that problem fixed. This really is a non-issue at this point. Here's my pros and cons lists. Pros - great tasting coffee at about $0.40 a cup - the smell of freshly opened coffee that K-cup users have missed so much - eco friendly containers that are mostly biodegradable (even the "plastic like" package you tear open states it is too!) Cons - each pack of 10 is the same flavor so if you get the variety pack, you really are drinking all 10 before opening another pack (this isn't an issue going forward if you settle on a favorite flavor) - these really can't be stored in a drawer made for K-cups being that there is no bottom and really should be put in a ziplock to keep fresh longer. The cons really don't concern me at all but may be a problem for some. As long as the pricing remains where it is, I'll be a regular buyer for sure!

So this is clearly an upgrade from regular Kcups. Environmental issues aside, the actual ‘coffee’ difference between these and what’s in plastic kcups is like night and day. I’m admittedly used to kcups—tried all the brands...they all give me my coffee/caffeine fix but if u compare it to Starbucks, it’s like plastic coffee water. I wound up trying this new eco-friendly pod-type bc my usual supplier is backordering everything. These were about the same price point as my typical kcups so I thought, seeing the good reviews, I’d try them out. Hugely different from kcups and are more like actual real barista-made coffee....in fact they have a stronger, smoother taste and mouth-feel...I’d classify these as more like espresso than coffee. I’m finding I’m preferring to use them like espresso...add some frothed milk and voila instant flat white. I have to say very strongly that if ur used to watery kcup coffee, prepare for a much stronger brew with these. I would go down one size cup u normally select so u can add whatever things u like while adjusting to the real actual coffee taste. I also suggest when u order, get a nice glass vacuum seal jar...these pods come in little packletts of like 7 or so...once u open the wrapper, they’re all gonna b exposed to air and lose flavor—plus make ur place smell really strongly of coffee, like a coffee shop. So def get a good glass jar to store each pack of pods. So far I’m only on the breakfast blend. I have a few other kinds(unflavored) to try in this box, but I’ve been really happy so far. It’s def a huge difference from kcups as far as taste goes...for me it’s been really noticeable bc I haven’t bought coffee out in like ages(too hot, too cold—I’m fussy). I didn’t realize how lousy kcup coffees actually are until now. The pod design is excellent too. I’ve tried pods before and stopped bc they clogged my machine, made a mess, and weren’t well designed. This new kind of pod is easily pierced by the keurig and the hot water can really get into the grounds without blasting them all over the inside of the machine. The entire pod is compostable and even the pod packaging is recyclable. Excellent design all around. I say, if ur looking to keep ur current Keurig but get actually great coffee out of it, this is the way to go. Plus ur doing the Earth a favor not using those ratchet plastic kcups. I give this product and company five stars! Definitely recommend!

We have tried many French Roast brands and San Franciso Bay is our fav!. Smooth, bright, rich and a bit of bite. We press repeat with this great coffee every time.

Es la segunda vez que pido esta caja. La primera vez fue hace un año. La caja vino bien y en orden. Me encanta que la cápsula sea con la menor cantidad de plástico y el sabor sea de calidad mi favorita es la verde.

I also like that the pods, and the freshness bags they arrive in, are compostable. I appreciate that I can just discard the pod when I’m done without me having to dismantle it, and make a mess. I generally like lighter roasts but this one is a delicious medium roast blend, without bitterness.

These pods are strong but beautiful tasting coffee. I love that they can be put straight into the compost bin ♥️

no entra correctamente a la cafetera, por lo que todo el cafe se sale de su unidad y se tira; inservible.

Super pack! Traten de tenerlos en un contenedor hermético una vez abiertos para que se conserven correctamente
