Joined the Keurig Klub; K-Cup Pod Recommendations?
Some mornings, I don't feel up to my french press routine; just bought a Keurig maker. Can anyone recommend pod brands? (I don't care for the flavored stuff.) Thanks.

I buy the same stuff I would otherwise buy. I get a lot of compliments on Duncan Donuts coffee and Twinings tea. Amazon carries several "sampler" boxes that have a lot of choices to sample. Pretty good value to let you sample a lot of savoring.

I like a bold/dark coffee. I’m a fan of the Green Mountain line. “Dark Magic” being our favorite. Their “Nantucket blend” is also quite good. For a medium roast, try the Breakfast blend. Costco’s “pacific Bold” is made by KDP and is quite good. Honorable mention to Starbuck’s Sumatra, and Frenchroast.
My wife works for Keurig/Dr. Pepper so I’ve been fortunate enough to have tried many. I stay away from the flavored stuff, but that’s just me. Also a fun fact, many people don’t know that the lighter roasts actually have MORE caffeine than the dark roasts.

Been a Keurig guy for 10+ years now - got indoctrinated at work ...
Also not into flavored coffees. Caribou is one of my all time favorites - just the straight up medium roast - consistently outstanding. I am also a fan of Seattle's Best Portside Blend, Gevalia Dark Royal Roast, and Lavazza Classico Medium Roast. There are many good ones out there ... enjoy the journey! ~ Paul

We like a mild, unflavored brew in this household so we use Eight O'Clock Original.

Newman's Own was always the best tasting to me. My wife loves the Cafe Bustelo varieties.
Since I started roasting my own 2 years ago, I don't drink Keurig cups any longer. Wife still likes the convenience in the morning versus my pourover or french press ritual. I can wait that extra 5 minutes, but then again, I'm retired. Got plenty of time.

I don't like most packaged K-cups. You can buy an attachment and put your own ground coffee into it. That way you get fresh coffee instead of old dried up junk.

Which is where we are blessed to have the wife working where the beans are roasted, ground, and k-cups filled just days before she brings them home.

I buy whatever is on sale. Yes,some taste much better than others,but since I only drink a couple of cups a day now I don't mind.

Ex-Keurig user here - I remember Newman's Own being very good, but Emeril Big Easy Gold was even better, along with Peet's Major Dickason.
