Taste

Pros:

  • "This coffee was absolutely delicious!"
  • "It truly has the taste of regular coffee."
  • "It's surprisingly a VERY GOOD CUP of COFFEE."
  • "McCafe Venice is absolutely my favorite pod flavor to date! Dark but not bitter, smooth and has actual flavor to it."
  • "This is one of the smoothest medium roasts that I've tried in a long time."
  • "Good medium to strong coffee with a very pleasant scent of cinnamon and coffee."
  • "This decaf coffee is delicious with a full-body flavour you would think it was a caffeinated coffee."

Cons:

  • "The McDonald’s Apple pie coffee smells good but the taste is not that good."
  • "It's to the point I get a headache from lack of caffeine in my coffee when using the mcd k cup."
  • "The worst stuff ever. Can't return it. Will not give it away."
  • "This coffee is awful, unless you like your coffee bitter with a slight hint of tasting like it has been sitting around for hours on a coffee warmer at work because no one wanted to throw it out."
  • "YUCK! Sooooooo bitter! And none of that great coffee flavor like I got in the decaf pods."
  • "Horrible taste!"
  • "This is the worst tasting coffee I have ever had it is thick high Acid content. It has the worst smell ever not to mention the better terrible flavor with the terrible aftertaste that you cannot get out of your mouth what a complete waste of money welcome to the trashcan disgusting coffee come on McDonald’s!"

Convenience

Pros:

  • "The convenience of the K-Cup Pods has made our mornings easier."
  • "The Keurig version is just more consistent, though if you get a really fresh cup from the restaurant it is a little better."
  • "Ordered the night before and it was here before 7:20 the next morning."
  • "The convenience of the K-Cup Pods is also a plus - they're so easy to use and make brewing a cup of coffee a breeze."
  • "Delivery is always on time."
  • "The convenience of the cups is great."
  • "These pods are affordable."

Cons:

  • "I love the coffee, however, every pod I put into my machine busts open, and I get full cup of coffee grinds."
  • "This particular order had a broken pod in the box. Coffee was scattered all over the other pods."
  • "Some of the K cups actually push through some coffee grounds on a few of them."
  • "I don't have a storage container that holds full size K-cups very well so its been a bit of an annoyance since receiving these."
  • "Every one of these k cups has leaked grounds into my coffee mug."
  • "I have ordered many boxes of these exact Kcups. The last two 84count boxes I got have about 30-40% defective pods."
  • "Pods burst in the Keurig getting grounds EVERYWHERE."

Environmental Impact

Pros:

  • "These pods are recyclable, but according to the pictures, the coffee needs to be dumped out of the pod, and then they recommend checking with your local recycling company as to whether or not the empty pods can be put in your recycle bin."
  • "I will give them credit for using less plastic than the Starbuck's coffee pods, but unfortunately more plastic than the San Francisco Bay biodegradable pods."
  • "These pods are made from recyclable materials, contributing to a healthier planet, which is a cause close to our hearts."
  • "However, the pods are recyclable, so if you're conscious about your environmental impact, you can make an effort to recycle them properly."

Cons:

  • "One thing to note is that the k cups are not the most environmentally friendly option. They are single-use and end up contributing to the waste stream."
  • "The box says the cups are 'recyclable' but we all know where those end up - in the ocean."
  • "K cups, of course, make drinking coffee easy, but I do hate the waste they leave behind and I'm conflicted every time I use one."
  • "We all agree on the weird taste and feel the K-cup design is wasteful."

Value

Pros:

  • "Not too dark and a good price for the bulk quantities."
  • "A reasonable value when offered at about $47 at the time of our review for the 72 count offer."
  • "Now I can have the great tasting coffee as much as I want and I can stop buying those small boxes at the high prices."
  • "At 20¢ - 35¢ a pod, you can't go wrong."
  • "The price is very reasonable."
  • "But when I calculated the cost of these in the 84 pack the price was very reasonable per serving."
  • "The price is much less for the K-cups as compared to what you pay retail."

Cons:

  • "The price is a bit steep at $61 for 96 count so I took a star off for that."
  • "Everything is just to high these days."
  • "I love this flavor of coffee, it is now a staple of my morning routine! I hope they do not stop making it. It seems to be hard to find this flavor in the stores. Love the toffee taste. However it is expensive."
  • "The cost of Coffee pods is just ridiculously high as much as i love the ease of making my coffee fresh with every cup i have to watch my budge."
  • "Love this coffee. But it's usually priced too high to bother."
  • "At it's regular price, in the mid $30 range, it is not worth it."
  • "I ordered this for about $25 believing it was 60 k cups because that is what the picture shows. It took almost a month to get to me. It was only 10 K cups!"
