So I decided to order the Decaf Kcups for my home Keurig machine. The first time and subsequent next five times the flavor was weak and tasteless. THE LIGHT BULB WENT OFF IN MY HEAD (I’m not a Robot) so I shinned a light against the KCup to see how much coffee was inside, and sure enough it showed that the KCup was not filled at the same level as my Spouse’s Peets Coffee KCup (see Photo). As my Headline says, “You Get What You Pay For” - I’m going back to Peets Coffee KCups Decaf. Yes, Peet’s is more expensive but I’m tired of drinking watered down Coffee.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating', 'review_body': 'For the purposes of calibration, we normally drink Starbucks Breakfast Blend. Yeah, yeah, I know. Haters gonna hate. But that\'s what we like. Full flavor with no bitterness.\n\nFor further calibration, we think that Starbucks House Blend is bitter, although it does have a bold flavor.\n\nWe\'ve been looking for a less expensive alternative, however.\n\nWe tried McCafe Breakfast Blend and I really liked it (no bitterness, good flavor, although it could be more bold). My husband thought it wasn\'t flavorful enough, however.\n\nThis time we tried the McCafe Premium Roast and, as Goldilocks would say, "This one is just right."\n\nIt\'s half the price of Starbucks, has no bitterness, and the flavor is pleasing to both of us.\n\nThis morning, my husband said, "Yeah, I can drink this. This\'ll work." (For him, that\'s like doing a cartwheel.)\n\nIf your taste for coffee is similar to ours you\'ll be well pleased by the McCafe Premium Roast.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "I purchased these for my husbands Keurig on a daily deal in October. He used up his current stock of K-cups first before trying these. He began having coffee grounds in every single cup so we thought it was our Keurig. After multiple cleanings (watching YouTube videos and trying everything Keurig recommended) we decided the Keurig was shot. So we ordered a new one here on Amazon only to discover grounds again. Lo and behold the Keurig machine was fine, It was the pods. We can use any pods but these. So now we have two Keurig's and a lot of useless coffee pods."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Seems like many people have had problems with this coffee.\n\nSome had coffee that had expired. Not me, mine is good until June of this year. (I did notice that the people with expired coffee had a K-Cup that was textured. Mine are smooth, with the expiration date on the outside of the box.)\n\nSome had grounds in their coffee: I\'ve almost finished my case of 84 and that has not happened a single time.\n\nSome had "weak" coffee. Well, one person\'s strong is another person\'s weak. I\'ve been totally satisfied with the taste of this product, smooth with no bitterness.\n\nSo, I got a good cup of coffee at a great price, I\'ve never had grounds in my cup, and I\'ll finish the box months before the expiration date. What more could I ask for? I am very happy with my McCafe and will definitely purchase it again.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "I ordered 3 boxes of coffee with an 84 count for each. I received the product quickly, however upon opening the first box, it just didn't look quite right. I counted the K-Cups and found I had only received 47 in one box and 49 in another. The last box had a correct count in it. Just beware. Amazon was wonderful about resolving the problem, but you may want to count your K-Cups, just in case. I pray future boxes will contain the correct count!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I purchased the McDonald\'s K Cups during a Deal of the Day promotion. Glad it was on sale, otherwise would have returned it. I\'m a K-Cup Fan, LOVE the quality of coffee it produces. I\'ve purchased K-Cups from a wide spectrum of brands, and Costco usually is the single best value, with a price per cup that rare to no one beats every day. When the McDonalds cups were Deal of the Day, the price was GREAT, and thought it was a great opportunity to try the same coffee I like at McD\'s. Unfortunately, this coffee is NOT anywhere close to the in-restaurant product. Starbucks K Cups, are excellent, the coffee is in-line with in store. Consistent. This McDonald\'s product is weak, has a slight acidic after taste. It\'s NOT an enjoyable cup of coffee, and if not for the discounted price, I would have shipped it back. My worry was - "Is this close to being out of code? Is it old?". No - it\'s not. That was the only explanation that would be acceptable. Otherwise, the packers are simply using an inferior blend, maybe even "just for the Deal of the Day". The mistake though, is I will NEVER buy this again, and in the 10 years I\'ve had a Keurig, the worst tasting product I\'ve ever brought. SORRY to McDonald\'s (I\'m a McGriddle Fan!). You need to get your name off of this item.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "A national review of restaurant & coffee shop coffee rated McDonald's the best. There's a McDonald's about a mile from us. (Isn't there a McDonald's within a mile of everybody?) They sold coffee to seniors for 50 cents a cup. We'd go in the morning and get two cups apiece and bring them home. We drank one, the other went in the Frig for later. My wife is a much bigger coffee drinker than me so she'd drink couple or three more cups restaurant coffee that day.\n\nThen we discovered Amazon had McCafe coffee and we could get cups for about the same price, but we'd have to amortize the machine. So, we bought a Keurig machine and avoided the trip to McDonald's. Now in virus time we don't eat out and she drinks a lot of these things. As of now we've bought 34 boxes of theses things -- that's approaching 3000 cups of coffee. So, at this point the machine costs about 3 cents a cup, much less that the trip to McDonald's. I'm a little unhappy about the effect all those little plastic cups have on the environment, but it's sure convenient."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2016', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'My second order came in a brown box unlike the first one that had a nice colorful label. Did not make much of it until I almost ran out of the first one and looked for the the expiration date. Upon close inspection, and comparing the first almost empty k-cups realized that the new brown box did not have an expiration date. I carefully inspected the new k-cups and noticed that the dates had been wiped clean. You can see the non glossy spot on all the units. Is this best practice how they get rid of expired product? Shameful and deceitful.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I opened the box today and there was only a half a box so I counted the pods. The box only contains 48 pods!!! It is supposed to contain 84 pods so I am 36 pods short!!!!! I’d like to believe this wasn’t intentional. If you expect any repeat orders from me, someone needs to send the other 36 pods that I am due!!!!!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I had never tried this before, but I ordered it because it was on sale, and I like (but don't love) McDonalds restaurant coffee. Turns out I was surprised how good the K-cup version was. Nice light, smooth, slightly smokey flavor. Not bitter.\n\nI brew it on the medium size setting usually, but today I was in the mood for an even richer taste, and with no other darker K-cups around, I tried brewing it on the small setting. What I got was a one delicious cup of coffee! I may do this from now on, brew it on small, and maybe have 2 cups instead of one. So good."}]
