Keurig K-Cups Customer Ratings
By caltex
As I am about to run out of k-cups, I will need to decide what I will be getting the next time I place an order. I really liked GMC's Heifer Hope Blend, but it has been discontinued.
There's just too many choices! Thank goodness for the internet, I can just find out what is good out there based on customer reviews. I decided I might as well share what I find out. All my siblings have the same coffee machine and we have always shared with one another which k-cup tastes great.
Problem is, I am not sure which customer ratings to go by - Amazon.com or Keurig.com? It appears there are a lot more k-cup reviews from Amazon. On the other hand, Keurig includes the percentage of reviewers who would recommend the product to others. So, I decided to go by both.
Below are the customer ratings from both sites sorted by the total number of reviews.

There is actually more choices than listed here. I just happen to have an old worksheet of the k-cups I wanted to try before and added a few more of the ones that are popular at both sites.
You will notice that popular does not necessarily mean a higher customer rating. For example, GMC's Hot Cocoa. It has been purchased by many, but not even half of the many who reviewed it at Keurig.com feel it is something they would recommend. I have tried it myself and would have to agree. It is a little bit on the weak side, even at the smallest cup setting. Hopefully, GMC will improve upon it and give it a stronger chocolatey flavor.
GMC's Wild Mountain Blueberry seems pretty interesting. Majority of the reviewers rated it 5 stars. The few 1 star reviewers, however, seemed to really hate it. Well, the siblings just might like to try it, too. We often place our orders together to avail of the free shipping offers and then traded k-cups amongst ourselves just so we are not left with too many k-cups we end up not liking. What has also worked for me is using lots of flavored creamer or coffee syrup on those k-cups that I really don't care for.
I have tried many k-cups, but there are many new ones I have yet to try. I really thought I have found the one for me - GMC's Heifer Hope Blend - just the right strength, but it has been discontinued. Here's hoping I find one better. Any recommendations?

I love to shop, and markdowns always get me excited. It made me proud when I got to buy things at 75% off the retail price. A lot of those times, they were things I did not need to have. Some of those things I...

Hey caltex, good timing for me to read your hub here. I am rather fussy about my coffee, and have been looking to expand on our usual selections. Voted up and useful. Thanks! BTW - you were one of my very first followers when I joined a week ago. Thanks again. I am checking you out as well. God Bless
