K Cup recommendations

[76GTFan]

Just wanted to get some ideas for some good coffee.

I currently drink the following:

Mostly Green Mountain Coffee:

Dark Magic
Double black diamond
Newman's Own Organic
Espresso

I prefer the Extra Bold coffees or dark roast. Any others worth trying?

[jonumberone]

I'm loving Timothy's San Lorenzo Dark right now :tu

[VTDragon]

I like a large cup of coffee, so Donut House in the Travel Mug size and Kona Blend extra bold

[688sonarmen]

Obsidian- Full bodied dark roast with a strong dark chocolate taste. I have only seen it at Target.

[AD720]

For Dark roast:

Black Tiger
Mahogany (very rich)
Jet Fuel

[Springsman]

Where you guys buying your coffee...our Walmart here stopped carrying the few that they did carry, and the only other place i've found that has a decent selection is bed/Bath/beyond... :(

[jmsremax]

Outside of what has been said already I also enjoy Tulley's Italian Roast

I use Big Cat Coffees but I order like 500 at a time. If you want to try smaller amounts of different blends they do sampler packs. 50 cents per is what I shoot for price wise.

[mosesbotbol]

Try something from Peet's Coffee.

[Dave128]

My B&M sells boxes of K-Cups at $12.99/24.

[wayner123]

IMO, the list you have is pretty good. The Newman's Own Organic Extra Bold is my favorite of any of the KCups right now.

[Chainsaw13]

My favorite right now is the GM Kona Blend. Their Sumatran Reserve is good too.

Bed Bath and Beyond is great and you can use 20% off coupons that they incessantly send in the mail. You can get them for less than .50 cents a cup with the coupons.

Hopefully Amazon comes to their senses and puts the prices back to what they were before the holidays. The boxes of 50 were ~$22, so less than $.45 each. Even less if you signed up for the auto deliver.

Thats who I use and have been very happy, my favorite right now is doughnut shop.

[taltos]

coffeecart.com is a great source for k cups. My current list of full bodied coffees includes:

[Gargoyle]

For Dark roast:

Black Tiger
Mahogany (very rich)
Jet Fuel

:tu:tu for the Coffee People k-cups. Just got the office to stock Jet Fuel!

[Christiel49]

I am enjoying GM Kona right now. Like the Donutshop, and Coffee people Jet Fuel......I have tried a lot and these I like the most

Open to any suggestions.

[TBone]

My favorite right now is the GM Kona Blend. Their Sumatran Reserve is good too.

Ditto to the GM Kona Blend, I also like these:

Caribou blend
Newman's own Extra Bold
Duncan
GMC Nantucket Blend

[Dave128]

I recently bought an 80 count box of Newman's Own extra Bold (a good buy at BJ's @ less than .50 a cup). I enjoy it very much. I also like Kona, Sumatran Reserve, Black Magic, Double Black Diamond and Espresso Blend.

[Aero95]

I recently got all my coffee through Kohl's with a 30% off coupon and the Kohl's cash. They have a good selection online.

[LasciviousXXX]

My work just purchased a Keurig machine for the office. I generally drink Espresso but it isn't easily available at work LOL. So I'm going to pick up some Kcups to try 'em out. I don't use sugar or cream in my coffee so I love full flavored cups of coffee. I will try out some of the ones recommended in the thread. However, are there any specific rec's for someone who generally only drinks Espresso?

Thx

[Dave128]

I too enjoy a strong cup of coffee with no cream or sugar. The Green Mountain Espresso Blend fits the bill for me.

[Blak Smyth]

I use to buy K-cups until I started buying my coffee from a friend who roast his own beans. I bought the screen kit for my Kuerig. I tried it with regular coffee and it didn't seem to work well. With my friends home roasted blend it works perfect, I think because it is a bit more coarse. Now that's all I use.

The style I use:

This style might even be better?:

[baddevildog82]

This is a great thread guys. My wife and I are planning to get a Kuerig because she is switching to decaff and we only drink one or two cups a day. This will help us with blends to try and places to get them.:cf2

I bought two of these off Amazon a month or so ago. They work awesome. Easy to fill, not bad to clean and I think you get a better tasting coffee than the normal k-cups. Plus you can use whatever coffee you like.

I find that a coarse grind works great in this.

[Blak Smyth]

I find that a coarse grind works great in this.

That's my experience as well. The finer grinds just seem to get pushed out of the way with the water pressure. The coarse grinds seem to stay in place and allow the water to mix better.
I think that aftermarket red one above might fix that problem as it appears to fan the water flow out more.

[JohnnyFlake]

I have tried a lot of different K-Cups, I mean a lot and the ones I like best for consistent richness of flavor are:

Newman's - Own Organic Extra Bold
Coffee People - Donut Shop
Coffee People - Kona Blend
Wolf Gang Puck - Breakfast in Bed
Tulley - Kona Blend (I've been told and have read that this is discontinued)

[nofeardiver]

Caribou blends
Lake and Lodge
Mountain Blueberry
Kona blend, I was told that green mountain wasn't going to be making it, but I still see it in stores!

These are my rotation, also Donut House is a great coffee, my favorite right now is the Caribou Daybreak Coffee, if you want bold go with lak and lodge or Kona!

ThxI would suggest Green Mountain Dark Magic, FTO Espresso and Double Black Diamond for the dark and intense flavor that you are seeking.

[nofeardiver]

What isnthat jetfuel like, is it similar to donut house or dark strong?

[xlc12rf]

Give Timothy's Parisian Nights a try. I love that one.

I'm also a fan of Sumatran Reserve, Caribou, Dark Magic. I plan on trying Mohagany, and black tiger.

What is jet fuel like?

[Mr.Maduro]

Having a cup of Dunkin Donuts original blend from a K Cup. It's good, but not worth it... $11.99/14.

To be honest, it tastes a little like Green Mountain's Our Blend.

Thanks for the heads-up on the Dunkin Donut K-Cups. I was getting ready to buy a pack, but I was having a hard time pulling the trigger at the price they're asking. Now, I can save the money!

The Coffee People's - Donut Shop Blend is one of my 3 favorites. I find it hard to believe that the Dunkin Donut Blend could be any better.

[Angry_Pirate]

I like the chocolate glazed donut and rev pulse..

[wayner123]

I wanted to add that if you have a Lowes nearby you might want to check them out. They had 4 or 5 varieties I couldn't find anywhere else.

[FrankJohnson]

Hmm... If your going for a dark blend I would go with:

Timothys Coffee Extra Bold Parisian Nights
Caribou Coffee Mahogany
Caribou Coffee Sumatra
Coffee People French Roast

I also would probably go with that order as well. There are so many different types that it can be quite hard to narrow it down. If your looking for any good place to buy I really like Coffee For Less (http://www.coffeeforless.com).

[taltos]

For a dark blend with some strength:
Tully's French Roast
Emeril's Easy Dark Bold
Van Houtte Eclipse
Green Mountain Double Black Diamond

I find the Eclipse to be the strongest of the group. As may be noted, I have no Coffee People coffees on the list since they all taste burned to me.:tu

I'll bet you do seeing as you either work for or own the company.

Interesting....how did you find Coffee For Less? I have never heard of them before.

[JohnnyFlake]

Has anyone tried the Hot Apple Cider K-Cups yet?

[bdgile]

Love the Kona Bold!

[688sonarmen]

Has anyone tried the Hot Apple Cider K-Cups yet?

Yup, it's not bad for the price. About 9.00$ for the box.

[688sonarmen]

BTW Starbucks K-cups are finally out for those of you that admit to drinking Starbucks:tu
