• "The box it came in was perfectly fine as was the other item I ordered this with."
• "I often buy box after box at Target but I got tired of always having to run to the store to buy coffee. This was great for the value!"

Cons:

• "I’ve purchased these before and always received 6 boxes of 12 cups. This time 72 arrived in one large cardboard box. And the flavor is not the same."
• "Did not like that it appeared the box was not sealed properly, and the product was all over the shipping box."

• "This batch of pods must be defective! When the pods are poked grains of coffee go everywhere including into the cup of coffee."

Price and Value

Pros:

• "Better price than most of the coffee companies @ about 49 cents a cup."
• "Amazon Price is about 15-20% cheaper than local stores when I buy the big box."
• "It breaks down to about 50-60 cents a cup which isn't cheap, but is much cheaper than buying it out."
• "The bulk buy from Amazon makes them a little cheaper."
• "Great price. This is regular K-cups ... nothing fancy, same thing you buy in the store but with a MUCH better price!"
• "These are the only Kcups we buy. It’s great coffee and you can’t beat the price."
• "I like that this coffee is so affordable - you can't always find that anymore with other products..."

Cons:

• "I think K-cups are way too expensive, though!"
• "Unfortunately the price keeps raising on Amazon, so I don’t see a reason for purchasing online anymore."
• "Love the convenience, love the flavor, but the price is just soo high."
• "I have never had a problem with bad batches before, but throwing out 1-2 pods per package eliminates any cost savings I had buying on amazon."

• "Unable to return it as it has been more than 30 days since we purchased the coffee."

Cons:

• "I watched myself producing HUGE loads of PLASTIC WASTE that CANNOT BE Recycled."

• "But if you’re using pods because you are rushed or lazy, then you’re definitely not going to take the time to open, clean out, and recycle the k-cups like they recommend."
• "I am currently overloaded due to mixup per above. I have no problem keeping all shipped at this point."
