Amazon Brand - Solimo Variety Pack Light and Medium Roast Coffee Pods (Kona, Breakfast, Donut), Compatible with Keurig 2.0 K-Cup Brewers, 100 Count

I first bought this when Amazon put it on sale for half what I paid for it this time. I expected the price to go up after the introduction of it, but was hoping they'd continue to offer it at a better price than what it's become. Still, we've tried just about every nationally familiar brand of K-cups out there, and all of the three grinds in this package easily stand up to the biggest brand names you can think of. I don't even have a favorite; they're all good. Just pick one up, pop it into the machine, and I know it's going to be good. Something else: a LOT of the national brands sold by the Great-Big-Warehouse-Stores-I-Won't-Mention have raised their prices to close to that of this product, but have reduced the number of K-cups to 94, sometimes 96. Apparently they believe people will continue to buy less product for more money. This is a full 100-count box of assorted coffee pods, delivered to the door, decent price, good flavor. I'll take it.

I roast my own beans...have for 24 years now...so I am picky. I don't use pods much, but I bought these for my roommate who does. Flavor matters to me, so I always brew "low and slow". Low temperature so I don't extract all the bitterness, and Slower (stronger) brew to increase seep time to extract more of that un-bittered flavor...and I usually only brew 4-6 oz at a time. This is what I recommend for ANY pod. Longer time is OK if it has more grounds to compensate, but there is a limit, as brewing can cause streams of water inside the pod, so brewer design matters since pods are pods (more number of injectors is a HUGE plus, BTW). So, I was not worried when reviews state that the flavor goes away after 8 or 10 ounces...this is always the case. In fact, it's more likely the case with better beans, since better beans don't have as much bitterness to extract, so when you pull a typical bean for a long draw, you get additional horrible flavors. EXPERIMENT YOURSELF: do a 12 oz pull, and continually change out cups so that you only get ~ 2 oz per cup. By the 8th oz of any coffee, you tongue will be cringing. ALL THREE were smooth, with pleasant flavor. Sure, the flavor was not "bold" by my standards, but it also was not weak. In fact, it was pretty good for a mild-medium roast, and on my scale of coffee flavor, that is better than most you will encounter. Certainly better than Starbuck's or Peet's, both of whom have perfected there roasts and bean selections to give a lot of flavor for a long draw. No coffee connoisseur would ever call their coffees complex or pleasantly aromatic, or anything better than minimally OK. So, I'm not saying these are wonderful coffees. There are only the best Pods I've encountered yet, and a great bang for the buck for someone who brews small cups.

A solid choice if you’re looking for an affordable everyday coffee option. The flavors are smooth and mild, making them easy to drink without being too strong or bitter. It’s a nice variety to switch things up without committing to just one flavor. For the price, the quality is better than expected. The pods work well in a Keurig and brew consistently. While they may not have the depth of more expensive brands, they’re perfect for morning coffee or when you want something light and simple. Overall, these coffee pods are a great value and a budget-friendly option that still delivers good taste.

This is what I should have ordered again instead of what I did order because the other one that I just ordered was nasty it has an old taste to it like it's been sitting in a warehouse for over a year and the coffee has got old 🥵😩🤮

Good for price

We bought this coffee because I drink about 4 cups (pods) each morning, and wanted to see if we could find something cheaper than the McCafe brand we have been buying--and LOVING--for about a year. This Solimo (Aamazon) brand had enough good reviews that we gave it a shot. First; the flavor. It is pretty good. The different blends are distinctly different enough that you can tell them apart, and the flavor is consistent. But, it doesn't smell up the house like coffee should. With the McCafe brand, I can make a cup of coffee downstairs and it will wake my wife up on the 2nd floor with the sweet, strong, wonderful coffee aroma wafting through the entire house. With this Solimo brand, you can be standing 10 feet away from the brewer and not smell anything happening. The weakness of the coffee can further be seen--literally--by looking into a freshly brewed cup in a white mug...because you can see all the way through the coffee to the bottom of the mug. Second; the caffeine. I use coffee as my pre-workout stimulant every morning, having 3 to 4 cups before--and during--a 2 hour session of lifting weights and doing cardio. There is a very noticeable difference in the amount of caffeine. The Solimo brand doesn't give me the same levels of energy, because it just isn't as strong. Lastly; value. For me, the value is not worth the difference in price. I actually am not saving enough money to justify the level of disappointment in flavor and aroma strength. Plus, the savings is negated if I need 6 cups to give me the same level of energy I was getting from 4 cups of the McCafe brand. On the other hand...my wife ended up liking this coffee enough to continue buying it. But, she only drinks decaffeinated coffee. So, to her, the lower amount of caffeine is not a factor. Plus, she only drinks ice-lattes with lots of sugar-free flavoring and steamed almond milk, so the coffee flavor strength is not even noticeable to her. Conclusion. For me; I will be returning to the McCafe brand--at least until I can find something cheaper that is just as tasty and caffeinated. My wife will continue to use the decaffeinated Solimo brand, which saves us a bit of money. We hope this helps.

This is really a great brand of coffee. My mom absolutely loves it!

Good coffee and great value
