Great Cup Of Joe!
I am a rather late comer to the K-cup world. I have always loved my the flavorful and bold ‘one cup at a time’ coffee faithfully brewed by my cherished Gaggia 90501 Titanium SS Super Automatic Espresso and Cappuccino Machine, Stainless Steel. After six years of faithful service my Gaggia developed an issue requiring it to be sent off for repair, so I purchased a Breville BKC700XL Gourmet Single-Serve Coffeemaker with Iced-Beverage Function. The Breville is intended to be an interim coffee maker while my beloved Italian Gaggia is sent off for repairs (a 3 month endeavor).I don’t think of myself as a coffee snob, but I will admit to being particular about the coffee I drink. I was now faced with the challenge of finding some of my favorite coffees in the new to me K-Cup containers. As I came to the realization that my old favorite beans were not readily available in this medium I turned to Amazon buyer ratings as my guide in this java quest. I placed orders for both Emeril’s Big Easy Bold 48 K-Cups and San Francisco Bay Coffee One Cup for Keurig K-Cup Brewers, Breakfast Blend, 80-Count as a starting point. The SFB Breakfast Blend arrived first. I read all about the Rogers SF Bay family coffee business philosophy and their social give back and thought it was pretty cool. I then looked at their K-cups (OneCups) and thought to myself, “is that how these things are supposed to look?” Their OneCups take a more Eco-friendly construction approach so that you see a rounded filter bottom rather than the standard shaped plastic cup bottom. It all seemed interesting, but how would it taste? I thought the Breakfast Blend was really a lovely cup of coffee. The smooth medium-dark roast Central and South American beans are very tasty indeed! I would venture to say that it is on par with any of the very best medium-dark roast coffees available. I would never turn my nose up at it, that is certain. However my personal pallet preference is for something a bit more dark and bold. Three days later I received the Emeril’s Big Easy Bold order and immediately tried it. It certainly delivered on all aspects of a robust dark roast with full flavor. It is a bold, dark, classic Parisian roast, in your face brew, just the way I like it. However I find it to have an ever so slight unpleasant aftertaste and a not too far away from, but not quite there bitter finish. Again this is just according to my palette, you may not think so. All in all it is a very good coffee.The SFB Fog Chaser arrived and I couldn’t wait to try it out. I cut the seal on bag and was hit with the scent of a strong dark roast. I placed the now familiar OneCup container in the machine and hit brew. Immediately the aromas hit my nose and let me know that I was in for a treat. Fog Chaser is a strong full bodied French Roast with an extremely smooth finish. It is certainly bolder than Breakfast Blend, but is not as bold as Emeril’s Big Easy Bold. The taste is full, smooth and well rounded without any unpleasant bitterness or aftertaste at all. I wouldn’t have minded if the yield had been slightly stronger though. My next order will be San Francisco Bay Coffee One Cup for Keurig K-Cup Brewers, French Roast, 36-Count to see how it compares to these three. Until that time, I give SFB Fog Chaser two big thumbs up!! It is currently at the top of my K-cup coffee taste experience.

A perfect cup of coffee!
This is the best decaf Kcup I have ever had. I like a strong cup of coffee without bitterness and this is perfect. Now I really look forward to my coffee in the morning and usually one more time later. I highly recommend this product!

I Love It But……
I loooooove Colombian coffee and these taste great! As you see, I gave it high marks except for the value and you will see why below.The reason why I bought them was threefold.1. My office did not have Colombian blend coffee as a choice.2. It is supposedly a better environmental choice as it is compostable.3. The price was fairly good for a compostable high-quality coffee.It is one of the few that supposedly works in a Keurig 2.0 machine.Well, unless you like cleaning exploded coffee pods out of your 2.0 machine, I recommend against it.They don’t explode every time you use them, but only at the most inopportune times, or that is just my Murphy’s Law experience with them at least. I’ll be going along the whole week without a hitch and then boom, I open the lid to remove the pod to find coffee grounds evvvvverywhere and have to carefully rinse out the pod housing.The last time it happened, I thought I had killed the company machine for sure. I didn’t want to explain to caffeine-deprived people that I broke their machine. It took so long to rinse all the grounds out. The seal on the pod doesn’t seem equipped to withstand the heat of the hot water that comes from the machine. That may be something QC wants to work on fixing.Alas, I can’t buy them anymore. SFB, your team has to work on that. It’s the only flaw. Your quality and flavor is on point.

Four Yummy Flavors, One Great Price
I love coffee! I don’t overdo it, and usually have 2 cups in the morning all year-round and maybe another cup in the evening during colder months. I’m just a regular coffee drinker who loves a good, well-balanced cup of coffee.This variety pack satisfies that need for a good cup! I wish I could describe the flavors with terms a connoisseur might use, but all I can say is that I found each flavor satisfying, delicious and balanced. I will purchase again.The pods themselves worked great – – I had no grounds in my cup, no drips or mishaps while brewing, etc.The pods were packed by flavor in several sealed bags, making for easy storage and keeping them fresh.As for the actual coffee content, I found it to be generous and plentiful. The pods are full and the company is definitely not stingy.I like that these are easy to recycle and compost, and there is much more to compost and much less to recycle.I’ve been using my own refillable pods for the last two years, and I bought these more out of want for convenience and change ; instead, I found coffee that I like so much, I haven’t used my own refillable pods since I bought these, and I probably won’t for a while. (I plan to purchase this variety pack again, so I may have to give away a bag or two of what I have on-hand ; I don’t want to waste it.)The Fog Chaser had me worried – – would it be too strong or jack me up? Not at all! It’s perhaps stronger than the others, but deliciously so. My mother says this is her favorite, and she rarely likes a strong coffee. This is my favorite, too, at least for now. (I’m torn between this and the Rain Forest, but I truly enjoy them all.)The breakfast blend was bright, balanced, and lighter than the rest—but not too light. I can easily see this being a favorite of many, especially for those who prefer a milder cup. I did find this a little bolder than the average breakfast blend, but that’s not to say it’s super strong – – it’s not.Organic Rain Forest reminded me of a Costa Rica coffee I had years ago and loved. I compared it to the Rain Forest coffee we had on hand and to a Hawaiian Blend, and ours were both bland and tasteless in comparison. I won’t go as far to say it’s the best Rain Forest coffee I have had, but it’s quite tasty and stands firmly on its own as delicious.I haven’t tried the French Roast, but my brother did when he visited, and he said it was yummy. It sure smelled good! His girlfriend had the same type, and she enjoyed it so much that she had me send her a link so she could purchase her own packs.I’m so happy I took a chance on this purchase. I was a little hesitant to buy a large quantity of pods, but I had tried the brand before and recalled that I liked it (I think some pods came with my first Keurig, and I also purchased some of their other pods a year or so back before I stopped buying pods altogether ) , plus, the good reviews made me feel confident.Overall, I’d give this variety pack a solid “A” bordering on “A+”. I’ll definitely buy again, both this particular variety pack as well as some of their others.( I also plan to gift some.)One final thought : I can’t stress enough how much I love these pods. The coffee is great, yes, but I also love that there is so little waste. With the original Keurig pods, I felt guilty anytime I used them and saw all that plastic. I couldn’t keep doing that – – the waste and garbage was astounding. I can’t go look right now, but I’m pretty sure the top part of the pods is a thick paper/cardboard /foil and paper… something like that , and overall there is barely any plastic… if any at all, especially compared to other pods. Maybe just the little ring part that connects the pod to the top of the pod…? I’m not sure. I know that I feel much better about using these, and even though there is some waste when compared to the refillable pods, I can feel good about using these and about supporting a company who at least cares about reducing waste and tries. That’s important to my family, and it makes the coffee taste that much better. ;)TL; DR:This is good stuff…. Delicious coffee generously packed in recyclable pods. Buy it! It’s yummy!

I love that these pods are largely compostable. I usually use the grinds as a soil additive, but cutting down on plastic is always a good deal. I’ll be ordering more.
