Can anyone suggest a source for some of the milder coffees mentioned in this previous thread? We have a Keurig, which we use primarily when guests are here, but we are not big coffee drinkers, and most of the K Cups are too strong and/or bitter for us. We would also like to find some K Cups that are sugar free - teas, chocolate, etc.

I'd like to find some of the milder versions, but checking stores around us, there just aren't any.

Your help in find some locally would be wonderful. We have Sams, Winn Dixie, Target, etc. but all they have are the usual blends. Nothing special. Or we could order if necessary. Thanks!

We love milder coffees as well and I remember finding Light Roasts but they seem to have gone away. We now buy the super-box at Sam's Club of Green Mountain Breakfast Blend Medium Roast. It's perfect for me, but DH still dilutes it with water and then he's good.

I used to buy Donut House in the Medium Roast for the longest time but Sam's Club stop carrying it. I refuse to buy the small boxes (which have skyrocketed in price) and get the largest box from Sam's Club (around 70 K-cups for approx. $40)....

Good luck... also go on Kurig's website and look specifically for Light Roasts or Breakfast Blends.

LovememyKeurig....

Our bed bath beyond has one of the largest selection of k-cups. I was amazed at the variety of flavors they have. Maybe check online as well.

The widest variety is at Keurig.com. I think you would like Green Mountain Coffee Our Blend it is probably the mildest they have.

Normally, orders over $45 get free shipping, but if you sign up for their e-mail list or like them on Facebook, you will get notice of special offers several times per month. They also sell some small sample packs of many coffees, allowing you to try many varieties.

We do not like strong coffee either. If you belong to Costco they have the Kirkland brand of breakfast blend-light roast. Very mild and great price. It works out to about 0.37 a cup.

Krispy Kreme Smooth is very good.

Almost any Archer Farms (Target's brand) K-cups are very, very light roast. Almost any flavored coffee sold anywhere is a light roast.

The Keurig site has the absolute most selection but not the best prices. Bed Bath & Beyond (including online) has good prices and good variety. Amazon has great prices, pretty good variety, and many of their coffee vendors have "packs" of all light or dark or flavored.

Long time lurker, infrequent poster but I had to chime in here. I recommend the Gevalia Signature Blend K Cups of you like a lighter blend, even though they're described as a medium roast. I frequently see these on the Target Cartwheel app for 10-15% off and usually in the store they're already on sale for a buck or two off. That's when I picked up a box about a month ago and am waiting for a sale to get more.

Walmart carries a few I mentioned. You can find them online cheaper, but sometimes I just want to buy some without hunting for the best price.

If I do buy online, I shop for the cheapest price. That is not necessarily the same place each time.

Hubby and I always loved Eight O' Clock coffee and we use the Keurig version. I've found using 10oz of water per cup makes a better cup of coffee for us - more like what I used to make before the Keurig. Any less and the coffee is too strong.

Thanks, everyone. We have company coming through Tuesday and I'm going to check out both Target and BB&B. They're local, as is Sams. Shopping tomorrow.

Another vote for Green Mountain breakfast blend.

I know you need local for Tuesday, but see my post #13. I get the best deals overall there.

starbucks blonde, I find flavored coffees to be mild. right now i am drinking gingerbread coffee with pumpkin spice creamer also look for "light" roast. also a creamer will take the edge off a strong coffee

Here's an idea for you if whatever you have/buy still tastes too strong--I run my K-cups thru the machine twice. I use a big mug and create one 12 oz cup of coffee by making 2 x 6oz cups.

Donut Shop comes in a Light Roast, Medium Roast, and Extra Bold Medium Roast. I usually prefer the Medium, but sometimes enjoy the extra punch of the Extra Bold and enjoy the Light as an evening coffee. I also like Green Mountain K Cups. Most of the K cup beverages describe the intensity right on the box. Many described as breakfast blends will be light roast. As previously mentioned check out the flavors of K cups on the Keurig website as it's a good guide. You can find most of the brands on the site locally if you prefer not to purchase direct from Keurig. However, Keurig's prices are comparable to buying elsewhere, and they also have special deals regularly which they send out to email subscribers.

Again, thanks everyone. I'll find something for Tuesday, but then I'll check out all the other non-local sources. I think there's hope now of finding something we'll enjoy! You're the best!

You asked about Sugar Free K-Cups. As a diabetic, I've had my eye out for anything sugar free in this regard, especially for chocolate cocoa but haven't found anything... if someone has, please let us know...
