San Francisco Bay K-Cup Coffee Pods, Fog Chaser (80 ct), Medium-Dark Roast, Commercially Compostable Single-Serve Coffee Pods

Rogers Coffee Company, who makes San Francisco Bay coffees, is currently including their Freedom Clip FREE inside every box of their K-cups! This Freedom Clip allows you to use these K-cups in Keurig 2.0 machines because it overrides the DRM lockout that forces you to use only Keurig brand K-cups. I don't have a Keurig 2.0 machine yet as my older Keurig is still working fine. However, it's several years old so I've set these clips aside for a time when I must replace my current machine. What a class act to include the Freedom Chip in every box. That's great customer service! I buy several flavors by the San Francisco Bay Coffee Company because I like the minimal waste design, the coffees are excellent and they are less expensive than most brands. I drink coffee all day and my daily coffee is their Donut Shop Blend but I love a cup of Fog Chaser in the morning. Fog Chaser is a strong coffee but it's smooth with no bitterness. Perfect to wake me up in the morning. It's still strong and full-bodied even at the 12oz. setting. Regular Starbucks fans may not be thrilled because it doesn't have that dark roast bite but for me, it's perfect. The design of the cup is unique. It has a plastic ring with a foil cover on the top, just like an ordinary K-cup, but the plastic cup at the bottom is missing. Instead, there is just the soft filter pouch with the coffee inside at the bottom. It works just as the conventional K-cups do, but they take up a lot less space to store and there is less plastic for the landfill. They come in a sealed, clear plastic bag so you will need to put these K-cups in an airtight container when you open the bag to preserve the freshness. You won't want to store them in one of those K-cup carousels or counter top drawer units. A gallon sized zip lock bag, large Tupperware container or airtight canister work well for this. There are unfortunately a lot of really awful coffee K-cups - some that even contain instant coffee - but this one is stellar! And now, even Keurig 2.0 owners can enjoy these excellent k-cups.

This is an all-around incredible product: my new FAVORITE coffee. First, the taste is just awesome. VERY, very good tasting whether I make it at it's default setting of 8 oz. or taking it up to a 12 oz. cup. It works in my Keurig 2.0 machine ONLY BECAUSE the box I chose includes a clip that will override Keurig's proprietary "you can only use OUR exclusive, authorized Keurig K-Cup" K-Cup restrictive barrier. I had to take the reservoir off to see exactly how to insert the clip BUT it was all very painless and relatively fast and easy to do. The company included instructions for how to do this. Now I can use my 2.0 machine for any K-Cups on the market. (as I write in May of 2015, Keurig by the way, due to plummeting sales had caved in any way and decided to offer refillable cups again soon as it was, so these folks are ahead of them.) Reading the other reviews i've decided I want to try other SF Bay coffees. Not only is the price very friendly, this is a company who cares about all kinds of factors. The plastic cups that are otherwise the industry standard, there are rumors that the plastic in general that the coffee sits in and the hot water passes through is bad for your health. SF Bay has addressed the problem by using eco-friendly biodegradable materials in which the coffee sits in; SO it doesn't really LOOK like a K-Cup, BUT it is. Even the plastic looking rim isn't plastic; it's instead some kind of vegetable based, also biodegradable material. This resolves many issues. I am serious when I say this is the BEST coffee I've ever tasted. Great price, your best bet is to subscribe that sweetens the price even more because it reduced my final cost per box of 80 cups, which come in a few separate plastic, also biodegradable bags along w/ a plastic conainer and lid to keep the basically exposed unused cups fresh. If you have a 2.0 machine, make sure you order a box that includes the easy to install, once you take a good "look under the hood" so to speak - clip. I'm amazed really. There were so many good things to address about this coffee and I like it so much and encourage others to participate in both the quality of this coffee and care for thye environment and consumer that I hope I covered everything SF Bay really deserves high accolades all the way around for this product. For the record, I am in no way affilated with this company, just extremely impressed with the whole shebang they have to offer. If I actually open a small eatery here in Vegas THIS coffee WILL be featured. I'll pass on the savings, it'll be good for business. WFN Las Vegas, NV USA
