San Francisco Bay K-Cup Coffee Pods, Breakfast Blend (80 ct), Medium Roast, Commercially Compostable Single-Serve Coffee Pods

Favorite coffee. Easy to use and always tastes perfect. Smooth but great strength of coffee. Get it on auto delivery.

I am a coffee "aficionado" (read: addict) and I heartily recommend this product. I adore my Keurig - its convenience, the freshness of the cup, and, yeah, convenience are extremely important to me, but I hate how dang WASTEFUL and EXPENSIVE the K-cups are, and all the plastic most companies use when crafting them makes me a bit leery. Enter San Francisco Bay Coffee OneCup for Keurig K-Cup Brewers, Breakfast Blend. Their "coffee tea-bags" ARE a bit stronger in both flavor and body than I had anticipated (vaguely reminiscent of that "burnt Starbucks" aftertaste that I can't stand) but this is easily forgivable as I tend to prefer a "light" roast, and is very easily tolerable - I simply use a bit more milk and sweetener in my cup. There IS a wee bit of dark settlement sometimes left in the bottom of your cup, but hey, all you have to do to avoid that is just don't swirl your cup and you'll be fine. I love that the packaging is not only minimal (read: less annoying to deal with), but much less harmful for the environment AND my body (since certain kinds of plastics tend to leach estrogen compounds: "Most plastic products, from sippy cups to food wraps, can release chemicals that act like the sex hormone estrogen, according to a in Environmental Health Perspective" from the article "Study: Most Plastics Leach Hormone-Like Chemicals" found on the NPR website if you care to look.) So, although I'd prefer a slightly more "delicate" (less "burnt Starbuck-y") flavor, I have to say: great taste + less waste + less plastic + lower price = HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I will definitely be buying more from this company...*especially if they could mimic the strong-but-clean flavors of Gevalia's Light Roast and, well, the strong-but-clean flavors of their Stockholm and Royal Vinter (yes: Vinter, and I brew it a bit on the weaker side b/c that really IS a strong-medium blend/roast) roasts, too...and maybe Folgers Gourmet Selections Classic Roast...yeah...I love my coffee... *Part of all that MAY have been an understated hint to the San Francisco Bay Coffee company...

My favorite coffee pods. They brew a delightfully strong cup of coffee with a great flavor to them. Much less watery then so many of the plastic coffee pods with the huge cups and only a tiny bit of coffee inside. These pods are much more like a single serving of coffee wrapped in a coffee filter. Have a monthly subscription for an 80ct box as my wife an I both have at least one cup made with them each morning to start our day.

Echoing a few of the other sub-5 star reviews, I have also recently had an uptick in the frequency of pod blowouts. The first few boxes since I started my subscription for these towards the end of last year had no issues, but since the start of the year, it's gotten worse and worse. Initially it was maybe 1 in 10 that would burst, but in the last couple boxes, it's been closer to 1 in 5. Same machine (Ninja), same water, same settings; growing frustration with the leakage and general durability. I'm not sure if it's a glue problem, or the simple fact that the rim is only a couple millimeters wide, so it barely makes contact with the machine, especially if you don't center it just right. I know we're trying to reduce the environmental impact of the materials here, and the biodegradable aspect of these is exactly why I get them, but I think the rim needs at least another mm or two so that it can seat into the machine more securely. That all said, the coffee itself is excellent in the favor profile - bold enough to be pleasant to black drinkers like myself, while balanced enough to come through with cream added for the cream drinkers in my house. All in all a great product, but if the pod durability issue persists much longer, I may have to just go back to grinding my own beans. The convenience of these pods is largely defeated by having to spend 10-15 minutes cleaning blown out grounds from my machine every few cups.

I was initially shocked when I initially opened my parcel and found these very cool new San Francisco Bay Coffee One Cup for Keurig K-Cup Brewers, Breakfast Blend, 80-Count. First this is a great value at $33.00 including free shipping with my Prime Account. For those of you who have not tried Prime membership it pays for itself in between 60-90 days with moderate use and I believe Amazon still offers a 30 day free trial which is worth looking at to experience the benefits. I've had my membership for 3 years and its a great value! Enough for the the Amazon commercial back to the coffee. Price per cup is the lowest I have found anywhere at just under 42 cents. The normal K-cups are all plastic while these have a plastic ring with a fiber filter bag. Its not 100% recyclable but its a big step forward as the filter will break down quickly and the coffee grounds will then fall out allowing those to decompose as well. That leaves a small plastic ring (which looks recyclable) and foil top left. To assist to keep your coffee fresh you receive a reusable lightweight recyclable plastic tub with an airtight lid that holds about 8 K-cups for peak freshness. In addition each 8 K-Cups is sealed in a vented recyclable bag inside the box so you open one and put them in the storage tub after. Nice touch. This is a lively coffee with a velvet like finish, its gives me an average caffeine buzz, please note I am not big coffee drinker, more a 1-2 good cups a day guy and I like to have variety, thus my move to a Keurig system (which I love and have spread this to 6 others in my family as well as many at my office). This is a good coffee with nice flavor and I also like the fact its a little more recyclable and a good value. A++++
