Brooklyn Beans Flavored Coffee Pods Assorted Gourmet Variety Pack, Compatible with 2.0 Keurig K Cup Brewers, 40 Count

In my quest for flavored decaf pods, I decided to try these and I am very happy with them. The flavors are great. These pods are mellow, smooth and just right to my taste. No bitterness, or stomach upset. They work fine in my Keurig brewer. Thus far I have not had any "exploding pods." I will be ordering a larger box soon. These are a great value and excellent coffee! I will share some advice I got from Keurig customer service a long time ago when I was having a problem with their pods exploding in my brewer, and it has worked for me without fail. If you examine a pod and the top is rounded and firm, that means there is pressure inside that pod and it could explode in your machine. This is how to avoid that unhappy situation: 1. put the pod in the brewer 2. with two fingers on each side of the edge of the pod, push down until the bottom needle that punches a little hole in the pod does its job. (take care not to tear the foil top) 3. Close the brewer and continue brewing as usual. Pre-puncturing the pod releases the pressure. I have never had a pod explode since I started doing this, and that was ten years ago.

Brooklyn Beans makes the best coffee for Keurig K-cups hands down. This variety pack has bold, medium, light, decaff and flavored coffees. When I was searching for new K-cups to try, I was looking for a brand I didn't see in stores, and a variety pack that had flavors I've never tried before and that's what I have found. Although, my variety pack came with a Red Velvet flavor instead of the Breakfast Blend Decaf, I don't drink Decaf anyway so that aspect was perfect for me. (UPDATE: Brooklyn Beans contacted me and explained that due to customer feedback they no longer put the Breakfast Blend Decaff cup in their variety pack. The Red Velvet is a seasonal k-cup and they like putting their seasonal flavors in place of the decaf when available, but they still include their Breakfast Blend Decaff in their Breakfast Variety Pack.) As far as favorites go, I'm a medium roast coffee man myself, but this variety pack had the first donut shop coffee k-cup that I wanted more of as soon as my cup was empty. The medium roasts in this pack are far superior than anything I've tried in my Keurig before and since buying this variety pack, I've purchased the 40 pack of their medium roasts (Columbian, Donut Shop, Boardwalk, and Brooklyn Bridge). The Flavors are spot on. I personally have gotten burned out on Vanilla and Hazlenut flavors and all k-cups I've tried of these flavors pretty much taste the same, although I did notice these k-cups were a little more flavorful. My absolute favorite was the Maple Sleigh. I highly recommend this flavor especially if you're eating anything with maple syrup and/or enjoy the taste and smell of maple syrup. It was very delicious. The Red Velvet, Coney Island Caramel, and the Cinnamon Subway were very sweet, but the flavors were spot on. The Oh Fudge flavored K-cup was probably my least favorite of the flavors. To me it tastes like hot chocolate and it just wasn't for me. I gave the other cup to my wife because she seemed to enjoy the flavor. The only light blend was the Breakfast Blend. I usually like light blends on the weekends and this was a very smooth wake-me-up coffee to have on those mornings I got to sleep in. The bold blends were outstanding to have on those mornings that I found myself struggling to wake up for work. It may have been because I didn't have one after the other or because I don't drink dark roasts/bold coffee on a regular basis, but I wasn't able to tell a lot of difference between the Cyclone and the Fuhgeddaboudit. The taste was bold and smooth. They didn't taste overwhelmingly bitter like most bold coffees I've tried and they did a great job of perking me up in the morning. The French Roast coffee I can't describe in words. All I can say is it tastes like you would expect a French Roast coffee should taste like. Not overly bold, not too light, not too smooth, but not too overwhelming. The Express-O Blend has been the first espresso flavored k-cup I've tried. I enjoy a the flavor of espressos, but the overwhelming hotness mixed with the small amount that you get from a coffee shop, had caused me to steer away from them. But the espresso k-cup in this variety pack was awesome. I could enjoy a strong espresso taste in a large mug without paying well over $5 for it. The variety had the following amount of each cup: Breakfast Blend x4 Red Velvet x2 Oh Fudge x2 Hazelnut x2 Vanilla Skyline x2 Maple Sleigh x2 Caramel Coney Island X2 Cinnamon Subway X2 Brooklyn Bridge Blend x2 Colombian x 2 Boardwalk Blend x2 Corner Donut Shop x4 Fuhgeddaboutit x4 French Roast x2 Cyclone x4 Express-O x2 Although, I received the Red Velvet instead of the Breakfast Blend Decaff that the picture above shows, I couldn't have asked for a better replacement. But I thought other buyers should be aware in the event that they want to try the Decaff from this pack. As I stated above, this variety pack is the best k-cup variety pack I've ever purchased. In my opinion, if you're new to k-cups or if you're looking for something that doesn't taste like everything else in the stores, this is where you start your search for great k-cups, and this is where your search will end.

overall very much liked and i will re-order individual flavors. my rundown of them for those curious. (note i brew a 12 oz cup in a cuisinart kcup machine) -maple sleigh needs to be renamed maple slay. it's the top one imo. -hazelnut is good, nice flavor -all the plain roasts light, medium, dark are tasty. if you don't like a roast level in general, i don't think these would convert you but if you like them you'll like these. -caramel smells nice but i don't get much caramel flavor in the taste. -cinnamon tastes like like dumped ground cinnamon in the grounds. meh. -vanilla is an abomination.

I've had so many flavored cups. Some from more sophisticated brands. Some strange. Some typical. Look at my review history and you'll see what I've bought. But this one, by far, is the best in the market. It took me a year or more to buy this brand. Yes, I was skeptical. My artificial taste buds are very picky. But they were tricked. Each flavor mentioned came through in an enjoyable way. One or two did had a bitter artificial background taste, but it wasn't disturbing. I am more impressed by their dark roasts which I'm not a fan in general. But theirs in particular, are drinkable. Still not a fan or dark roast, but enjoyed the few moments I had to experience it. I'm very impressed with this company. I would recommend the variety mix with the darks, flavored, light roasts. One thing, they will come all dirty with grounds all over the outside cups so do wipe each clean before putting them in your k cup holder. I will buy this constantly. Just wish they had an Irish Cream for March. Pink Pumpkin: Awkward taste but passable. More like a vanilla bean tea. Lacking tons of the pumpkin flavor. I've had better pumpkin cups. Cinnamon Subway: Reminds me of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I've had other brands of cinnamon coffee and they don't come anywhere near as good as this. This has become one of my favorites! Vanilla Skyline: Too mild. This is the only one where I can taste the chemical background just a bit. Still much more tolerable than other brands for sure. Hazelnut: Strong roasted hazelnut flavor. I'm not a hazelnut coffee fanatic but this one is not bad. I've had worst. I'm very impressed with you, BB. Caramel: Reminds me when I used to make the caramel for my flan. No after taste like other brands. It's pleasant. I enjoyed this very much. Maple Sleigh: Oh wow! This is extremely delicious! One of my favorites here. Smells like I'm about to eat hot pancakes. This speaks nothing but maple everywhere. Makes the kitchen smell so good! Oh Fudge!: I've had other chocolate flavored coffees before and they were nauseating. This brand is so yummy! It's like adding instant coffee to hot cocoa. which I've done. So good! I have to remind myself that I'm having coffee not chocolate. Nothing artificial. Well done, BB! Breakfast Blend: Light and soft on the tongue without loosing it's coffee flavor or being diluted. Not bad. Express-O. I'm not a fan of dark or espresso, but this one, I actually like. It doesn't have that lingering smokiness on your tounge like extra bold but it's intense, more flavorful, rich. Reminds me of the sweeten Cuban coffee I used to drink back in the days. No "burning building" taste. This is one of my favorites from the intense department. I guess due the the fine grind? French Roast: Again, not a fan of the dark side of coffee. It's drinkable and not offensive to the nostrils. I enjoyed my 3 servings of this. Went well with just 2 sugar packets. I'm sure if you're a dark roast drinker, you will enjoy this and the other dark cups for sure! Fuggedabautet and Cyclone: Obviously it has that dark roast bite at the end but impressively, it's very tolerable with two sugars and a heaping TSP of creamer. I can drink this more than once but not on a daily basis. I'm just not a fan of dark roast. Colombian, Brooklyn Bridge, Boardwalk: They all are pretty much the same in strength. Perfect medium roast everyday coffee. Not too sharp and not to light. Donut Shop Extra Bold Medium: Not much different than the regular medium bolds despite having extra coffee. I like this as it has more caffeine without tasting bitter. For lack of sleep days.

Taste good and perfect

I absolutely love this coffee. I came across it at work, the decaf kind, but both are amazing. This will be the only coffee I drink. Very tasty.

Lecker, hat meine Erwartungen erfüllt, werde ich wieder kaufen

This coffee is delicious, it’s hard to find a good decaf coffee! Highly recommend.

I am someone who has one regular cup of coffee in the morning, and then I have to switch to decaf. It has been a real struggle to find a decaf that I enjoy, I also drink all coffee black. I recently purchased a Keurig single which I love, and tried this breakfast blend, and I'm enjoying my morning coffee again. If you like dark roast, or a very thick feeling coffee this is probably not something you will like. This is one of my favorites, breakfast blend generally seems to be what I enjoy the most with a full-on light roast being second. I use 10-12 oz of water for each cup, as I don't like strong coffee, either. I already purchased another box.
