P250UA5What K-Cup coffee do you like for strong rich coffee?
My 2 go-to, both medium roast & good (to me) just black.
HEB: Houston Blend - Only available at HEB (TX)
Green Mountain: Colombia Select
HEB is my home option, Green Mountain at work.

lastmanstandingNice to see the votes for Peet's and even one for Caribou! We have contracts for distributing both brands. We probably have a dozen pallets between both brands at any given time in the warehouse. They are both hugely popular and great sellers in the retail stores. I drink Peets K cups every morning the blend don't matter to me I'm not a coffee afficionado in the least. I can't discern the difference between any of them really.

smschulzI don't use the pods but I switched from Black Rifle Coffee to Blackout Coffee.
I have to admit the coffee actually is fantastic - I love the
Morning Reaper Blend.
It is partially owned by a great 2A supporter who puts on the Guns and Gadgets YouTube and site.

AudioholicWe've got a Keurig 1.0 (heavy-duty office version) that has no brew strength adjustment. My wife uses it daily due to her lack of time in the mornings. 99% of the coffee I drink is from a Technivorm or a pour-over but I'll hit the Keurig occasionally.
The best tasting K-cup coffee we've experienced to date has been Black Rifle Coffee's Tactisquatch. It's one of the few K-cup coffees I've had that tastes like it didn't come from a Keurig. The Peets K-cups are great too (although better when on sale).

Run water through once, and its strong, bold. Not Cafe Bustelo, but good.
Run it twice (double the water), medium bold.

Agreed. Just a nice smooth cup of coffee. Period.

Appliance BradI keep BRC Beyond Black and Just Black along with Folger's Classic Roast here at the store. I find myself using up the Folger's faster than any other.

sig2392I used to use Starbucks and Tully's French Roast and Italian Roast. I also used to buy this stuff called jet fuel but it was discontinued.
I dumped the Kerig and went to a Nespresso and never looked back.
The coffee is better tasting, stronger and smoother.
Cost about 1.20 a cup but I think it is worth it.

jhe888None, because a Keurig doesn't make a very good cup off coffee. They are convenient, though.

armoredI tried them all and never found a Kcup that was very good. I have finally settled on 6'Oclock.

frayedendsI tried the Peets and Folgers today. Peet's wasn't much better than the Starbucks. Folgers was weak even on the boldest setting.
I've had good coffee from the Keurig in the past so I don't necessarily want to give up looking. Maybe my tastes have changed.
I am interested in the Nespresso. I had great coffee in Germany and when the Germans came here to help qualify our filling machine they brought a Nespresso machine with them. I never got to try it, but it was what they needed knowing our work coffee was shit.
These go to eleven.

SIGnifiedA Nepresso will make stronger coffee… My wife has one downstairs for guests who stay over. It’s effectively espresso for non-espresso people.
It’s not necessarily for me though, but I am kinda picky about my coffee. Santa just brought me a new Fellows conical burr grinder ODE 2.0

WarhorseWe have a Keurig, but it doesn't get put out and used anymore. Our main complaint was that we couldn't find a K-cup that was strong enough for our liking.

frayedendsWhen I was in Germany and France I was impressed by the coffee. It was basically espresso. Small espresso size cups and I never needed cream or sugar.
I've been told that I can't get that here without spending thousands on a machine.
I also have a small Moka pot that I've been thinking about trying out.

HRKThe pre-made K cups have factory filled levels of coffee, if you want stronger coffee you need the reusable K Cups. Fill them yourself, pack all the grounds in you like until you get the blend level you prefer.
We buy beans, grind them up and fill our reusable K cups, they have metal screens but you can get paper K cup filters too if thats your preference.
This way you can buy and grind your own, then set up the K cup with your preferred levels.

frayedendsI"ve found k-cups that are strong enough, just the flavor is off. It's muddy and doesn't taste like coffee. Hard to describe, but you know that coffee taste you get from coffee flavored ice cream? That's sort of the flavor I'm looking for. Years ago Dunkin iced coffee tasted like that, albeit a bit weak, but good flavor. Now it has no flavor at all. Maybe my taste buds are just dying.

That is what I do. Almost a pour over using your Kuerig.

odinPeet’s Major Dickinson’s blend
This is one of the coffee selections I have at work. However, I also have "Cafe Bustelo" available that is a quick mover. Bustello is an espresso-like blend....

ensigmaticA decent electric kettle--preferably one with an electronic thermostat you can set to the desired temperature (180°F), a decent burr grinder (the metal Capresso Infinity is adequate and economical), good whole-bean coffee, and an AeroPress is a hard combination to beat for many times the money.
It's a little involved to do it, but you can even approximate espresso with an AeroPress.
