Keurig Coffee Pod Reviews: The 10 Tastiest K-cups you’ll ever find.
Single serve coffee or espresso machines are a dream come true for coffee lovers. The machines allow you to have a full cup of flavorful and perfectly brewed coffee in just seconds. By far, the most popular and highest quality machine is the Keurig home brewing machine. Keurig machines use K-Cups, which are single serve, vacuum-sealed plastic cups of blended coffee that serve a single, perfect cup each time. While all the flavors are good, the following is a top ten list of the best cups out there, ranked from #10 to #1 for the best cup.
# 10 Wolfgang Puck Chef’s Reserve Columbian Dark Roast
Another success by Wolfgang
Puck, this blend has a delicious chocolaty flavor that makes it an ideal
after-meal coffee. The flavor is very balanced, and you can taste the
flavor of the beans without the coffeehouse taste of burnt beans or
hickory.
# 9 Green Mountain Donut House Chocolate Glazed Donut Coffee
In many ways, this is the perfect morning cup of coffee. Somehow, Green Mountain has managed to capture the scent of chocolate donuts mixed with coffee in the K-cup. The flavor lives up to it’s name- the coffee tastes like a chocolate donut dipped in a cup of your favorite light morning brew.
# 8 Coffee People Black Tiger Extra Bold
The line of Coffee People coffee shops is very popular in the northwest, competing easily with other coffee giants from the same region. Their Black Tiger K-Cup is a very full bodied and earthy dark roast that will be popular among traditionalists. The cup is simply a strong, flavorful blend that reminds you of what pure coffee ought to taste like.
# 7 Van Housemate Sumatra Mandheling K-Cups Dark Roast
For coffee drinkers who just want a cup of great coffee without any fancy flavorings, this blend is perfect for you. The beans have the traditional Sumatran rich, earthy flavors with just a slight hint of a dark chocolate flavor. The cup has the slight acidity characteristic of a dark roast, but does not taste bitter. The flavor can best be compared to a mild espresso.
# 6 Emeril’s Organic French Quarter Roast K-Cups
Emeril’s offerings to the K-cup world are noted for their high quality and flavor, and this blend is no exception. French Quarter Roast is a traditional dark roast with hints of hickory and chocolate. This is a good coffee to help you wake up in the morning as it is very smooth for a dark blend.
# 5 Green Mountain Wicked Winter Blend Extra Bold
If you love a bold cup of coffee but hate the bitter taste that so many of them have, this is the perfect blend for you. It is a mix of Indonesian, South and Central American beans that creates a toasty, caramel infused taste with a chocolate underbody. The complex flavors make this a coffee that is perfect for savoring after dinner with a dessert, or for warming up with in the winter.
# 4 Wolfgang Puck Breakfast in Bed Medium Roast
Arabica blends such as this one are favorites for their smooth and subtle flavor, and this K-Cup is no exception. The blend is not weak the way some so-called breakfast blends are, but instead has more of a medium-bold flavor with nutty and earthy undertones.
# 3 Timothy’s Winter Carnival K-Cups
If you enjoy dessert flavored coffees, Timothy’s Winter Carnival is a great choice. When you drink the cup, you can taste hints of caramel and maple syrup that will have you craving a slice of pumpkin pie to go with your coffee.
# 2 Daybreak Morning Blend Caribou Coffee
Caribou coffee has a history of offering some of the best morning blends, their offering to the K-Cup world is no exception. The blend is light, with the presence of smooth Ethiopian beans clearly evident in its taste. It is a simple flavor that is good for novice coffee drinkers or people who like to wake up to a mellow tasting coffee.
# 1 Green Mountain Organic Sumatran Extra Bold
This is an excellent coffee if you love the pure flavor of coffee. The flavor of the cup is so rich that it has been compared to coffee made in a coffee press. The coffee is just slightly bitter in a pleasant way, dark, full-bodied, but not burnt the way coffee shop coffee can be.
