I know K-Cups don't produce the best coffee, and I can always use my disposable kcup with nicer coffee grounds etc etc.

But I do use my Keurig more than anything and am always in a rush.

Any recommendations for really good, quality (relatively speaking) KCups?

Might help if you let people know what you have used in the past and didn't like.

I buy the Costco Dark Roast K Cups "Kirkland Pacific Bold". Fine by me and cheap in comparison to other brands. I don't know if a real coffee finatic would love them.

I like all the community coffees and Rouses has a Blue Mountain Jamaican Coffee that is excellent.

I’m curious what you are buying that isn’t good? I mean, I know it’s not some fancy French pressed coffee but there are plenty of options they are just fine.

Most KCups are just alright. Been buying different ones online. Just looking for the best.

When we had one we used the reusable k-cups and put our own coffee in.

Any of the SF Bay k cups are excellent. They come in a different style cup that doesn't give the plastic taste that some seem to.

You really can't beat the community cafe special or breakfast blend considering you can buy it in bulk at Sam's or Costco.

Agree 100%. When my office coffee machines were all k-cup, we tried everything and anything. The SF Fog Chaser ended up being my favorite. A dark roast, and bonus is the compostable cup, so you're not feeling bad about the (3rd, 4th, 5th) cup of the day and plastic waste.

Yes, Peets French Roast, House Blend, and Major Dickason Blend are all excellent.

I like the Lily Forte Extra Dark kcups, but you gotta add cream and sugar.

I’ve tried numerous brands and types of K cups and I’ll drink Black Rifle coffee, Member’s Mark Donut Shop, Green Mountain Breakfast Blend but my first cup every morning and the one I prefer the best is Newman’s Own Newman’s Special Blend, it just has the best, smoothest, most consistent flavor I’ve found, bold and kinda strong but not sharp or bitter or overpowering.
