K Cup recommendations

76GTFan · 01-06-2011, 09:29 AM

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?

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

VTDragon · 01-06-2011, 09:38 AM

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

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

For Dark roast:

Black Tiger
Mahogany (very rich)
Jet Fuel

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.

Direct from the source: https://www.greenmountaincoffee.com/ . You can sign up for automatic delivery (their Cafe Express program) and you get free shipping (min 4 boxes) and $2.50 off per box.

Second that!

JohnnyFlake · 07-20-2011, 04:55 PM

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)

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.

taltos · 09-21-2011, 04:43 PM

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.

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.
