San Francisco Bay K-Cup Coffee Pods Flavored Variety Pack (40 ct), Includes Hazelnut Crème, Caramel, & French Vanilla, Commercially Compostable Single-Serve Flavored Coffee Pods

Love this coffee. 3 types: French Vanilla, Caramel, and Hazelnut Cream.

I lost my taste for Keurig brewed coffee a few years back & it was solely due to the waste of plastic to make shot glass shaped “pods.” Not only is the waste of plastic troublesome as it wrecks our environment & health, the plastic pod also leaches the flavor of the plastic into the beverages made w/ it. As we were expecting guests the 1st time I’d tried these, I was delighted to find they do NOT use the extra plastic cup/pod. I gave the French Vanilla a try, not expecting much as I know that there’s no way to guarantee that the box I’d gotten was “fresh” & the many negative experiences I’ve had w/ Keurig “pods” killed any positive expectations so my finding the coffee rather tasty & not bitter was a surprise! I tried the Cinnamon Crumb Cake next & again, surprisingly pleased w/ the results. It doesn’t have that weird chemical taste that accompanies a lot of cinnamon flavored coffees. The Hazelnut Creme/Cream is a more subtle flavor than the usual Hazelnut flavored coffees & was a favorite of guests & my husband. Lastly, the Caramel coffee has got to be 1 of the tastiest caramel flavored coffees I’ve ever had. Very clear taste & I am delighted that they’re not light blend as most flavored coffees are. For the price, this was definitely worth it & as we come back for more, I’m comfortable recommending others give it a try too.

UPDATE: have tried all flavors - Caramel and french vanilla were my favorite. Very light flavor, which I like. Hazelnut is okay but its so strong and has a very distinct aftertaste. I did not like the cinnamon at all -waaayyy too strong flavor for my taste. Like drinking an actual cinnamon stick. So if you like flavored coffee that has a hint of flavor without being overbearing - caramel and french vanilla are it. If you like the synthetic super strong flavor taste - hazelnut and cinnamon are it. I learned that these are super convenient for making cold brew. I pop 2 of them in a 16oz mason jar with sugar and water and then leave it in the fridge for 24 hours. Ive tried hazelnut and caramel so far and both are good. they claim to be compostable, but its super hard to find an easily accessible commercial facility that will compost them, so theyre not really good in that regard.

This coffee is great and great environmentally.

Wanted to try a more environmental and healthier K-Pod product and I am glad I did. These are great and the coffee is even better, I love the variety back I got! I'll be ordering more in the future!

Pleasantly surprised, taste and smell good

I like the convenient packaging to get 4 flavors in one box (each in it's own bag), and that these use less plastic than other K-cups. I find the flavor to be fine - not too strong. I also like that the tops are easy to peel back so the used coffee can be composted. Note - while they claim the rings are compostable, that's only true if you live in a place that accepts that type of compost, but at least it's easy to get the coffee out without making a giant mess of coffee grounds.

Unpopular opinion…this coffee is very bitter. I bought this flavored coffee because I like to drink coffee without having to add anything to it and I’m trying to reduce my environmental impact with plastic K cups. Disclaimer, I do not like the taste of Starbucks black coffee - too bitter for me.
