Brooklyn Beans Assorted Variety Pack Coffee Pods, Compatible with 2.0 K-Cup Brewers, 40 Count

Updated 2/28: Manufacturer has sent me a box free of charge, that no longer explodes (so far...5 cups in out of the 40 pack). A+ customer service and coffee. Thanks.Original Review: Attached are various images of 2 flavors of this coffee exploding, one after the other. Was almost late to work this morning! 6+ K-cups so far out of my 24 pack have exploded leaving nice coffee grounds in/on my cup and all over my counter. Cleaning this was quite a chore especially since the grounds were splattered in all the nooks and crannies of the coffee maker. One of the pics I attached is proof that these specific K-cups are the culprits. I brewed a Kuerig Dark Magic k-cup and everything was fine. Avoid this coffee! It's a shame too because the few cups I had were very tasty.

I had tried the Maple Sleigh and really liked it, so I found this variety pack. I've not tried them all, but I wanted to post that this is a GREAT variety of coffee, and we're looking forward to trying them. The price is very reasonable (my price point for K-cups is right at 50 cents/pod). Here is what I received with my variety pack, a total of 40 k-cups in 15 different blends/flavors, none were decaf (take note for those of you who like decaf):Fuhgeddaboutit x4Cinnamon Subway x3Colombian x 3Oh Fudge x3Corner Donut Shop x3Breakfast Blend x3Maple Sleigh x3Brooklyn Bridge Blend x3Boardwalk Blend x3Hazelnut x2Vanilla Skyline x2Coney Island Carmel x2French Roast x2Cyclone x2Express-O x2

My wife drinks decaf, and with the disappointing news that Tully's French Roast decaf has been dropped from Subscribe and Save, we tried this as a replacement. We have no objective criticisms of this product, but our subjective conclusion is that this one's not for us! It has neither the full body and depth, nor the bitterless, rich, bold flavor of the Tully's. My wife described the flavor as medicine like! Anyway, after three "doses" over three days without development of a tolerance, we tried to return it. Amazon understandably does not accept returns on this type of product but, as always, they found a very fair solution. What were two Pacific Northwesterners thinking when they ordered coffee from Brooklyn anyway? Doh

I had purchased these previously and enjoyed them. I am not a fan of really bold coffees/dark roasts, but found these to be a milder version and not as bitter as normally found. For some, that is good, for others they won't be happy.On previous purchase I had same issue as others with some of the grounds on about 1/3 of the cups getting into the cup, which made me hesitate before purchasing these again. I have now gone through and used the whole box, and have found a way for me that prevents almost all the grounds from getting into the cup. I take a pin (anything with sharp small point will do) and poke a hole in the center of the lid where the machine will poke a bigger hole anyhow, right before using it, which releases the pressure. 40 cups later and most I had were 2 or 3 grounds in a few cups, which I get with any brand occasionally.If you like medium coffees, and are not a big bold coffee fan, I would give these a try for the price.

I'm responsible for stocking our company's snack bar and took a chance on theses due to their price. To give some variety to our 16+ employees, I threw in competing K-cup brands such as Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts, etc. and these are always the first to go.I am pleasantly surprised because these are half the price of the top brand K-cups and allow me to order twice as much coffee for our budget, plus leaving room for other snacks. I've made 3 separate purchases of these and will continue to do so because my employees prefer them.
