If you’re a coffee addict, you might turn up your nose at single-serve options like K-Cups. But listen- that’s because you haven’t tried these coffee pods!
I’m here to tell you that convenience and great coffee can go hand in hand, if you pick out the right K-Cups. Check out our top picks for the freshest, most flavorful pods for great java at the push of a button. I promise- you’ll be shocked that these brews came from a Keurig.
Atlas Coffee Club Coffee Pods
Any coffee aficionado knows that freshness makes all the difference when it comes to coffee. Many K-Cup brands sit on the grocery store shelf, getting stale for weeks or months before they ever make it to your kitchen. Atlas Coffee Club K-Cups, on the other hand, are freshly ground and packed when they’re ordered, ensuring the best possible flavor for your totally convenient cup of Joe.
Atlas Coffee Club is also your official tour guide to coffee from all over the world. Each month, you’ll receive amazing micro-lot coffee from a different country around the world. It’s the perfect way to explore truly incredible, fresh, and varied coffee with minimal effort.
Wandering Bear Organic Dark Roast
Wandering Bear’s organic dark roast K-Cups offer a delightful combination of bold flavor and sweetness without the need for added creamers. We especially appreciate the absence of a bitter aftertaste. With 25% more coffee for an extra caffeine kick, these K-Cups are perfect for those who enjoy a robust and energizing cup of coffee. We also love that the easy-to-remove lid makes it easier to recycle these pods.
The Chosen Bean K-Cups
The Chosen Bean’s K-Cups are roasted, packed, and shipped on the same day, delivering top-notch coffee in a super convenient K-Cup form. The Costa Rica roast is a flavor fiesta with notes of caramel, dark chocolate, and almond. Plus, they’re eco-friendly superheroes with 99.95% recyclability – lid, filter, and the whole nine yards. Fair Trade and organic certifications round out a strong coffee game that’s also socially conscious.
Enduro Coffee
If you’re lifting the handle on a Keurig coffee maker in the morning, chances are good that you’re looking for convenience. In the case of Enduro Coffee, you can have your easy-to-make coffee and freshness, too. Just like all of Enduro’s air-roasted coffees, the K-Cups are freshly ground and packed just prior to shipping- no stale coffees here!
Two Brothers Coffee Roasters
Two Brothers Coffee Roasters offers a range of K-Cup options from light to dark, all packaged in recyclable pods with no aluminum foil to remove before recycling. Just like many of our other favorites, the coffee in these pods is roasted and freshly ground right before packaging. The company sells its K-Cups in packages ranging from a 12-count all the way to a 120-count, so even the most avid coffee drinkers can easily feed their caffeine habit.
Manatee Gourmet Coffee Pods
You can’t go wrong with any of the 5-star coffee pod flavors sold by Manatee Gourmet Coffee. This Florida-based company roasts 100% Arabica coffee beans for its K-Cups and times the roasting down to the second for perfectly balanced, low-acids brews. Your coffee purchase supports a great cause, too; Manatee Gourmet Coffee regularly makes donations to reputable organizations that serve to protect manatees.
Odin Cups- Death Wish Coffee
Many dedicated coffee drinkers find Keurig coffee to be too weak- not so with Odin Cups from Death Wish Coffee. Crafted from USDA Organic and Certified Fair Trade Arabica and Robusta beans, this coffee has a nutty and pleasant flavor profile. The brand calls them “strong enough to wake the dead and chariot them gloriously through the gates of Valhalla,” and that’s all this coffee drinker needs to hear.
San Francisco Bay Coffee Pods
K-Cups are convenient, but it’s undeniable that they produce a lot of plastic waste. San Francisco Bay Coffee tackles that problem with coffee pods that are 100% commercially compostable. There are tons of available flavors and variety packs for sale, too, so every coffee lover is sure to find something that is to their taste.
Angelino’s Coffee
Let’s talk Angelino’s Coffee. They source, roast, and pack their estate coffees with top-notch beans, cutting out middlemen and ensuring every batch is freshly roasted and packed. What’s even cooler? They’re all about fair play, paying higher prices directly to farmers through green coffee initiatives. With raw arabica beans imported from over 25 regions worldwide, from Nicaragua to Ethiopia, Angelino’s is your go-to for the freshest, tastiest, and socially responsible brews.
