I got these once before and I’d rate them pretty good.
Up there with most other-market ones. Metal pods. Definitely stay away from any of the cheap plastic pod brands.
Wait, these are only the Keurig kind? If so, never mind. I was thinking of Nespresso original line.
I was too much of a coffee snob to get a Keurig for the longest time before work hours, needing to cut back on caffeine and lack of counter space teamed up to keep me from making real coffee and I did what I thought I’d never do…
Join the hoard of Keurig buyers.
I’m the only one in my house that drinks coffee so a single serve made more sense.
I use the reusable cup with whatever coffee I want as the prefilled cups are expensive and difficult to recycle.
I’d get this deal but all the empty cups are a pain.
Keurig coffee isn’t good but it’s convenient and better than instant I guess.
Maybe I’ll go back to a moka pot but use half caf.
@simeon527 I did find most Keurig coffee pretty bad. As I’ve said. I am mostly on Nespresso original line, or real espresso maker. But if you are going to use a Keurig:
Find a brand of coffee cups you find acceptable.
First, run the machine with no pod if it lets you, to,pre-heat the system. And also warm water in your cup to pre-heat it.
Now, put in your quality coffee pod, and run on the smallest setting, usually 6 or 8 ounce.
I found with good quality coffee cups this actually worked well for me.
@simeon527 Also on recycling, yes I hate that too. More plastic waste. Some brands, not sure about these, have a removable insert which holds the grounds. Then you are left with a clean plastic cup and you can stack up a bunch together for recycling. Note that plastic recycling in this country is questionable in many regions. Apparently we used to ship a lot of it to China but then they said “no, we don’t want your crap anymore.” So I’m afraid a lot of our “recycling” ends up in a landfill anyway.
@brainmist I’m still working my way very slowly through the Elle Nespresso pods from the last time meh sold them. I always forget about them because my wife always makes a fresh pot of coffee.
@mmonacoj odd? I’ve found Meh shipping to be very solid and reliable. Good quality outer boxes I often keep for re-use. (Except I think my wife just recycled a bunch of them I was keeping—oops my fault for not organizing better) Unlike the lightweight A** and W**t boxes that are super thin or just plastic bags or slap a sticker on the manufacturer box and ship it.
I bought these back in November of 2025, when they offered K-cups and Nespresso pods. I still have most of them. There is something off-putting about their taste.
I liked mine when I bought them last time. Still working my way through the Nespresso ones since they didn’t fit my sister-in-law’s machine (I bought some to bring up to her on our next visit but she has the newer style flat pods). I’m using them in a refillable cup for my Keurig.
Weird marketing, so no wonder they wound up here. “Organic” coffee that is brewed in single-use plastic. Most people that care about organic for health reasons would be put off by micro-plastic coffee, and most who prefer it for environmental reasons would be put off by all the extra waste K-Cups produce. Pay organic price for none of its benefits.
I have an older Keurig coffee maker, one without the chip reader, so I usually pack canned coffee in refillable coffee pods, but some bleary-eyed mornings, I just want to drop a pod in and have some kind of warm brownish beverage drop out.

Looks like it’s a better deal at side deal:
@brainmist I’m still working my way very slowly through the Elle Nespresso pods from the last time meh sold them. I always forget about them because my wife always makes a fresh pot of coffee.
@brainmist sorry, this was an auto- launch and priced for the pods that hit their dating last year
@brainmist oh, bummer, it says Too Late for that deal.
@brainmist @pmarin Too late?
/giphy suspicious coincidence
@pmarin It still showed some options for K-cups when I posted originally. Possibly a bunch of people checked and snagged the tail end of that deal?
Looks like the price changed, too… wasn’t it $20?
“Did you say something about peas in a pod?”
“No, I said something about pods that make me pee.”
I wonder how they ship them. Arrive with box open?

Got some last time. Pretty good for what they are. Trying a new flavour this time. Hopefully I appreciate it as much as the first time.
I bought these back in November of 2025, when they offered K-cups and Nespresso pods. I still have most of them. There is something off-putting about their taste.
That’s an opinion. Your mileage may vary.
@Trinityscrew I got the variety pack once in the past. I think I agree with you. They are OK but don’t seem to have the taste I expect from coffee.

Pretty consistent good reviews for Colombian option on Amazon, in for one, $8 for 24 pack is great price
I’ve been enjoying the Nespresso pod versions enough that I reordered before that last Meh offering ended fwiw.
