Best Flavored Coffee Pods for Keurig.. What Do You Like?

ciao_bella — Mon, 15 Jan 2024 00:18:05 GMT

I love my regular, bold, go to coffee pods from Costco. They're called Pacific Bold. They're dark roast, rich and bold. But, every now and then, I get a taste for a flavored coffee. I've tried a few flavored ones, but honestly they don't really have much flavor and taste weak. Have you tried any GOOD tasting flavor coffee pods for the Keurig coffee maker? I just ordered a 4 flavor sample off of Amazon for the brand "Victor Allen's" which has over 7,000 reviews and almost all 5 stars. We shall see.

Anyone have a good, bold 'flavored' coffee pod they can recommend?

I don't drink hot coffee. I only like iced, but I like French Vanilla and Toasted Marshmallow Mocha.

I don't like coffee at all but my husband loves the Don Francisco's Kona Blend pods.

He likes a more medium blend favor. He's tried all the different brands and like the DF the best. If you like a bold flavor this one might not be for you.

The other day he purchased the Don Francisco's Vanilla Nut flavor and he said while it wasn't bad he probably wouldn't buy it again.

The only brand he didn't care for at all was Peets.

All of the flavored coffee pods seem to be light roast, which is not what you're looking for. I suspect that you're going to have to stick with non flavored pods. I'll keep reading this thread to see if anyone has a suggestion. I'd definitely be interested in a flavored pod that is a darker roast, but that probably distorts the flavor that they add.

I have tried a few of the bold flavored pods because my DDIL swears by them, but my palate does NOT.😁 I LOVE the Original Donut House Nutty Caramel.❤ It is the only one I have found that does not make my coffee undrinkable when I add Vital Proteins Collagen Powder to it. It has just a hint of nuttiness, but the caramel flavor is not "bold". I still think you might like it.🤞🤞 It is however a medium roast.

I am curious to know what you think if you do try it! You will likely enjoy the "treasure hunt" for that perfect cup of Joe. Happy searching!😊

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

@ciao_bella- I make flavored coffee all the time. I buy whole beans from a few different brands and grind them myself. I believe I know why you’ve been disappointed with flavored kcups. Kcups are measured to make a 6 oz. cup of coffee. Trying to stretch one kcup to make a larger cup or mug of coffee will compromise and diminish the flavor. I am fully aware that it’s costly to do, but whenever I use a flavored kcup I use two and run two cycles on the smaller setting to make a mug of coffee. ☕️

I only drink my nespresso coffee now but when I used my keurig my favorite was the san francisco bay from costco, very strong like I like it.

I am not a fan of any flavored coffee. Flavored creamer is better if I was going to flavor my coffee at all.

I've never found a flavored K-cup that is any stronger than a medium roast and those are very few. The vast majority are a light roast. Green Mountain has a few, but none I remember enjoying.

For the record, I find Pacific Bold to be a little wimpy. I've have never tried the Victor Allen's flavored coffees but I have tried their regular bold and wasn't impressed enough to buy it again.

If you go to Keurig's website they list all authorized K-cups available.

@ciao_bella : Pacific Bold is my coffee of choice LOL......DH loves Starbucks French Roast all bought from Costco.

My Keurig has a brew strength on it for light all the way up to bold. So if I want a bolder roast it uses less pins to ****** the coffee strength.
Once in awhile I like a flavored coffee and I like Starbucks caramel or creme brulee. I also have the option for 6oz 10oz or 12oz
To make my coffee more flavored I use Ghirardellis Carmel syrup around the cup make a 10oz cup on the highest strength add coffee mate in plain and top with whip cream. Tastes just like Starbucks without the $$$

@SaveTheTurtles Same with me for about 45 yrs! When I changed my lifestyle with my husband lowering our carbs, it took me about 3 months to wean myself from those addictive coffee creamers...oy!

My favorites were the York peppermint patty, Coffee-Mate peppermint mocha and pumpkin spice and a couple of the Bailey's.

The process of weaning myself from all those creamers was painfully hard...I loved them (addicted to them) THAT much. Add on all those years I used them and the insanity speaks for itself.

I had to gradually use less and less of the flavored creamers and replace with heavy whipping cream. The 2nd step took even longer. I then had to wean myself from adding the heavy whipping cream so I could drink my coffee black. That took about 6 months. That last month I only allowed myself one cup of coffee a day with the heavy whipping cream (I drink about 5 cups of coffee a day on average)...the rest had to be black.

I've been drinking black coffee now for about a year and I'm finally used to it. Now I drink mostly flavored coffees...a few are various unflavored dark roasts. My faves are:

Starbucks

Toasted Graham

Holiday Blend

Gingerbread

Green Mountain

Toasted Marshmallow Mocha

Wild Mountain Blueberry

Gloria Jean's

Butter Toffee

Eight O'Clock

Pumpkin Spice

Chocolate Mint

DH and I are big coffee drinkers. We try all kinds but don't care for flavored.

Love the Starbucks Holiday Blend as well as other brands' holiday blends.

Once in a blue moon I may have a French vanilla creamer in my coffee.

Tea drinker here, but since you really love the bold roast and several posters are saying the flavored pods are light roast: Can you use a flavored creamer in your bold coffee? Just a thought.....

@jlkz That's what I've been using (flavored creamer) to add some flavor. I just thought there might be a really good, flavored pod, that could be used.

brandiwine — Mon, 15 Jan 2024 14:44:57 GMT

Gloria Jean and Green Mountain are the best. For a stronger flavor you need to use less water.

Amusing how when you ask for flavored coffee recs, you get:

" I don't like flavored."
"I don't like flavored, but here's a roast suggestion."
"My husband doesn't like flavored"
"Try a flavored creamer"
"I don't like coffee."
(Implied) "Not answering your question, JMO, FREE SPEECH!"

Never change QVC forum! /s

Flavored creamers and syrups have garbage ingredients.

@ciao_bella I have not seen a flavored pod that is more than a medium roast. DH won't go near a flavored coffee, LOL so I enjoy my bold dark roast Peets cup with him in the early morning. The Kuerig machine is mine and mine alone for my 2nd cup later in the morning and I have tried a lot of different pods. I always buy Starbucks Pumpkin spice in fall and I just finished my Starbucks Peppermint mocha ( a slight addiction) for the Christmas season so I recently purchased a multipack of flavored pods on Amazon from Peets. I have tried the hazelnut mocha and the vanilla, both of which are really nice flavors........today I'm going to give the caramel a try.

Interesting question, I enjoyed reading everyone's coffee preferences.
