San Francisco Bay Variety Pack Medium Roast K-Cup Compatible Pods, 40 ct

I found out about San Francisco Bay (SFB) Coffee K-Cups from a YouTube video promoting NON-plastic K-Cups as being healthier. Regular K-Cups leach small amounts of plastic into the cup. So I bought a whole box of like 80 or so SFB K-Cups hoping they would be a good as the reviews. THEY ARE BETTER. They use a compostable mesh, not plastic, and most important is that the coffee is Rich, Smooth, and never bitter. Delicious Coffee! They are packed in bags of 10 to preserve freshness since exposure to the air is what "damages" all coffees. This is our "GoTo" coffee, and we use the Decaf.

I typically buy Fog Chaser blend. I inadvertently purchased this blend. And was pleasantly surprised. It’s a great rich taste but very smooth and no bitterness. Now I have 2 blends to choose from my SFB Coffee.. the best I have found and at a fair price!

UPDATE 2/20/2015: Rogers Coffee Company, who makes San Francisco Bay coffees, is now including their Freedom Clip FREE inside every box of their K-cups! This Freedom Clip allows you to use these K-cups in Keurig 2.0 machines because it overrides the DRM lockout that forces you to use only Keurig brand K-cups. I don't have a Keurig 2.0 machine yet as my older Keurig is still working fine. However, it's several years old so I've set these clips aside for a time when I must replace my current machine. This Donut Shop blend is still my everyday coffee and I have it on Subscribe and Save so I never run out. What a class act to include the Freedom Chip in every box. That's great customer service! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm a Keurig machine convert and, as such, am always looking for new flavors. This Donut Shop blend is one of my new favorites! This is a medium roast that is smooth, but still full-bodied. The packaging says it's designed for an 8 oz. cup, but I find it is still delightful when making a 12 oz. cup. If you like regular Starbucks coffee, though, this probably won't be your favorite because it's not as dark a roast so it's not as bold. I also purchased the Hazelnut Creme and am just as thrilled with it. The hazelnut flavor is not overpowering. You get a smooth, rich cup of coffee with a subtle hazelnut flavor instead of the other way around. The Hazelnut Creme is also a medium roast so it won't please dark roast lovers as much. The design of the cup is unique. It has a plastic ring with a foil cover on the top, just like an ordinary K-cup, but the plastic cup at the bottom is missing. Instead, there is just the soft filter pouch with the coffee inside at the bottom. It works just as the conventional K-cups do, but they take up a lot less space to store and there is less plastic for the landfill. They come in a sealed, clear plastic bag so you will need to put these K-cups in an airtight container when you open the bag to preserve the freshness. You won't want to store them in one of those K-cup carousels or counter top drawer units. A gallon sized zip lock bag or large Tupperware container work well for this. There are unfortunately a lot of really awful coffee K-cups - some that even contain instant coffee - but this one is stellar!

I love these, they are tasty and the coffee always smells so good!

This coffee is tasty, not too strong, and most of all it Swiss Water decaffeinated, not chemically decaffeinated. But after that first cup of decaf at 5am, I switch to caffeined coffee #2.
