10 Best K Cup Coffees to Buy Online

The one downside of owning a Keurig Brewer is the dazzling choice of k cup coffees. I mean how much time can you spend drooling over stuff you want to buy? If you are like me, the answer to that is- plenty.

None of that time is wasted though. There are not many really lousy coffees that come in K-cups, though I avoid anything that says it is a capucino. I also have a thing about strong coffee so maybe I picked out more bold K-cup coffees in my top ten list than I should have.

I took advice on making this page though- from anyone who wanted to weigh in with an opinion. It's not hard finding someone with an opinion about coffee.

I also checked around the review sites to help cut out anything that might be just too quirky. None of the coffees on this page get anything less than 4 stars from coffee buyers online.

So, feel free to dive in and see what think. If you hate my choices let me know. I can take it. As long as I have an extra bold to keep me on the straight and level.

The 10 Best Coffees for a Keurig

Coffee People, Donut Shop and Extra Bold Donut Shop

OK, so these are probably the 2 most popular K-cups around and maybe I shouldn't have included them here. Almost everybody who owns a Keurig will have tried at least one. At the same time there will some people who haven't and this is recommended for them.

Coffee People K-cups are a bit special. For one thing they use the Diedrich kind of K cup that seems to get more taste from the coffee. The diagram below is how Diedrich explain what they do. It seems to make sense.

What really stands out, is that even really strong coffees from Coffee People have a genuine full taste. Too often the extra bold coffees are extra bitter and sometimes I wonder if they use some kind of coloring to get the darkness. This Donut Shop blend is strong because of the full range of tastes not just a full range of bitterness or acidity, Perfect for Starbucks lovers,

The fifty count packs, only available online (and only at Amazon as far as I know) will save you some money.

Emeril's Big Easy Bold Coffee

This one is guaranteed to open your eyes in the morning. It is thick very black and strong. I reckon I let slip my preference for Coffee People above but this gets more votes from more people who need strong and wont settle for anything less. It certainly has a great aroma.

It also uses 50 per cent Rainforest Alliance certified coffee so you are probably helping to save a tree, somewhere.

Timothy's World Coffee, Kona Blend

I would recommended this for anyone getting bored with their usual coffee. It has a pleasant, refreshing, slightly exotic taste. The coffee beans are grown in Hawaii and roasted in Canada so they have certainly seen the world before they sacrifice themselves for your taste buds.

The blend is kona coffee and arabica so don't expect a dark roasted, I've-been-shot -in-the- mouth type blast of coffee adrenalin. This coffee is medium strong, subtle and flavorful. Some people say it tastes of fruit and chocolate. I don't see coffee that way. I can just say that it is perfect for a relaxing afternoon.

Emeril's Jazzed Up Decaf Coffee

OK, I am not a big fan of decaf but for some, people with medical conditions, like pregnant women etc. it might be the only option. So here is a decaf that is drinkable. It is a strong flavored coffee and people who like decaf rate it highly. I managed to finish my cup which is more than I can say for many decafs..

Timothy's World Coffee, German Chocolate Cake

This is probably the best flavored coffee for a Keurig that you will find. It is genuinely chocolaty and has a medium strength, full bodied taste. The beans are high quality arabica which is good base for any coffee and the blend works in the machine.

Recommended if you feel you deserve a reward for a difficult day- its a good substitute for a big slice of Black Forest Gateau. Unfortunately, the coffee has no cherry.

Timothy's World Coffee, Midnight Magic, Extra Bold

This is another extra bold. It is the kind of strong coffee that Starbucks fans will like. There is is just enough bitterness and just enough body to make it a serious contender in the EB world. The extra tang that lingers after you swallow will satisfy most people who like strong,

One Last Extra Bold. Coffee Peoples Extra Bold Wake Up Call

I said I might be accused of going overboard on the extra bolds but this fine coffee for morning consumption deserves a mention. It is also first choice for plenty of people. So if you like strong coffees it is worth thinking about.

A warning though this is strong stuff and only recommended for die hards who who need a real coffee rush.

Gloria Jean's Coffees, Swiss Chocolate Almond and a fine Hazelnut

The Swiss Chocolate Almond is the main rival to the German Chocolate Cake from Timothy's World. It is has plenty of devotees who say they never get tired of it. I would recommend it as an occasional drink when you are not looking for anything too strong. It is great when it is iced.

On a par is the Hazelnut coffee from the same company. Fresh tasty and a pleasant change from bold coffees some of have to have in the mornings. It is also an economical coffee at a couple of dollars less than most K-cups for a pack.

Keurig Reusable Coffee Filter

Before I quit here is a quick plug for the reusable Keurig filter. If you grind you own coffee you can load it into the filter, slip the filter in place and hey presto! Fresh coffee for one. This can be a useful feature for dealing with coffee snobs. Tell then to bring their own ground coffee!

The results are pretty good,
