SAN FRANCISCO BAYCompostable Coffee Pods - Jamaica Blue Mountain Blend (10 Ct) K Cup Compatible including Keurig 2.0, Medium Roast

I've written several reviews for the varieties of San Francisco Bay coffees that I've tried, yet Amazon only posts the most recent review regardless of coffee flavor. So, with that being said, here is now an all encompassing review for all varieties of these K Cups.Overall, San Francisco Bay has by far the most superior coffees on the market. Their varieties will satisfy a wide array of tastes. They are also environmentally conscientious. Their cups are 97% biodegradable but that in absolutely no way compromises the quality of the coffee or the quality of the actual cup itself. Some reviewers complained of beans pouring into their cup or damaged cups. I've never had an issue with either and I've been using San Francisco Bay for about 7 years now.On to the different flavors. Following, are my favorites and why.French Roast - my wife and I love a nice strong cup of coffee. The French roast provides a robust flavor while minimizing any bitterness. For a good water-upper this is the coffee for you. Even with a dash of creamer. It still maintains its strength of flavor.Breakfast Blend - a milder coffee with still great flavor. This is a good cup for blonde coffees if you prefer creamer. It's also the best flavor for freezing if you enjoy iced coffees. I'll use these coffee ice cubes for both Breakfast Blend and French Roast iced coffees.Espresso roast: This is an excellent cup of joe. I would rate this second only next to the French Roast. It's not as strong is the French Roast, but is has a slightly different yet still pleasant aroma and flavor.Kona Blend - Kona is an expensive bean and rightly so. It's by far the best coffee available, however because it's so expensive it's usually provided in a blend form to keep this costs down. So SFB cups provide a really good Kona cup that pairs well with cream and sugar or flavored creamers. It's slightly stronger than Breakfast Blend, but it the accompanying bean does give it a slight bitter bite.Fog Chaser - this ties with the two previous coffees. It's a strong coffee flavor but doesn't pack the punch that French Roast does. It's the second strongest, in my opinion, and keeps its coffee flavor through the addition of cream or sugar.Hazelnut Creme - back in my Army days I drank coffee black. My wife introduced me to hazelnut creamer and I loved it. Since then my coffee preferences matured (thank goodness!) and now I like great tasting coffee. I've all but stopped using hazelnut creamers in favor of more milder non-flavored creamers. So when I saw hazelnut coffee I thought it would be fantastic. Not so much. I love hazelnut, but this coffee is unusually bitter and has a strange aftertaste. I don't buy this cup anymore.Donut shop - something weird about it. It tastes like watered down coffee. My wife agrees with this statement. It's very weak and if you add creamer to your coffee you're basically tasting creamer with a bit of coffee. But if you don't need a strong cup of coffee and just want a casual drink, this might work for you.When I provide a product with five stars it means I won't look anywhere else if I need it again. I've tried dozens of different brands and different coffees over the years and no one comes close to San Francisco Bay K-Cups. Pick a flavor profile you like and you won't be let down.

WOW! As soon as I opened the inner bag the smell of my mom's fresh ground 8 o'clock coffee from the A & P back in the 50's hit me! This is TRUE coffee! I can't live without it now. Coffee connoisseurs join me in a perfect cup'a!

Great cup of coffee especially from a pod

I like that the pods are packaged in an air tight bag, it keeps the coffee fresh.

Always great coffee. Just have to be observant whether 100% Kona or a Kona blend. Not the same. Read the fine print.

These little babies really make for a delicious cup of coffee! Definitely 100% Kona, and they're definitely kept fresh inside these pods. As all Kona is, they're not particularly inexpensive, but that's okay - I've been "treating myself" to these but then find the Starbucks Verona ones I have severely lacking by comparison. I think I may just have to step up to being a "Kona everyday" snob, and these are a relatively inexpensive and convenient way to do that! I'll be buying more when they run out.Also, I'm not a composter, I live in an apartment, but I do appreciate any effort to reduce our environmental impact, so I will point out that they come in 3 compostable, sealed bags, which is nice, as the actual pods are of a different design than typical and have open little mesh things on the bottom, so would probably get kinda stale if they were all in one box.Edit* I tried someone's suggestion here to use the same pod twice, and it definitely doesn't have enough flavor a second time, at least on my machine (which I bought because it has a "strong" button that takes longer but that I use every time.)

Love the way the pod is constructed and that it is organic but not plastic. The mesh is a lot better choice in my opinion than the plastic. Great flavor and aroma too!

Great coffee. Compostable pods. Used to be a decent value as well, but the cost has increased significantly; hence the 3 stars instead of 5.
