San Francisco Bay Compostable Coffee Pods –

Great coffee, rich taste, strong brew!
Makes a great cup of coffee. The box comes with 4 flavors, packed in two bags of each type. I put two of each into a container, and stored the rest for later. Definitely a good deal for the price. I like the compostable cups that can be thrown into the city green waste bin for recycling.

Bold Coffee, Less Plastic
The caffeinated French roast version of San Francisco Bay coffee is bold and robust, but not bitter.After trying many brands and “roasts” of K-cups, my wife and I have chosen this one as our favorite. I also drink the decaf version of this one.I like the fact that it’s made with less plastic and that the hot water flows through the grounds and filter, unlike a traditional K-cup — a plastic cup with a hole punched in the bottom.I’ll continue to buy this brand of French roast and will look for it in whole beans form also, for brewing pots.

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!

The taste is good. It has been the best tasting decafe coffee that I have tried to date.

Many questions by guests re brand and type of coffee. A definite favourite. Uses minimal plastic in the K-Cup which is an awesome bonus.
