From the roaster

  • SINGLE USE PODS: JAVA House Single-Serve Coffee Pods are the ultimate in versatile convenience, great for hot coffee or iced coffee. Our decaf coffee pods are great any time of day.
  • DUAL-USE LIQUID PODS: Enjoy the perfect cup of cold brew coffee hot or iced from JAVA HOUSE in a single-use pod. Use them at home in your Keurig machine or on the go by simply peeling the pod, adding ice and pouring 8oz of water.
  • BOLD FLAVOR: JAVA HOUSE Authentic Cold Brew Coffee is brimming with bold flavor and hints of molasses, walnut and cocoa. Our cold brew coffee adds brightness & a touch of fruitiness with none of the bitterness.
  • SMOOTH & RICH: JAVA HOUSE Authentic Cold Brew Coffee is crafted for ultimate smoothness from premium 100% Arabica coffee beans, steeped to perfection in small batches to ensure the smoothness only cold brew can deliver.
  • SMOOTH FEEL: Hot water brewing can cause ground coffee to oxidize more quickly, so the coffee tends to be aromatic but bitter. The cold brew process delivers a smoother, lower acid and naturally sweeter cup of coffee.

    Amazing Rich Coffee Flavor in a Latte made with Almond Milk!

    I am a fan of almond milk lattes, especially if they are iced! To make an iced latte with these cold brew capsules I simply put ice into a 20 ounce insulated mug and add enough almond milk to cover the ice. Then I add in two packets of stevia and two cold brew capsules.

    Makes a coffee house quality drink!

    These are so delicious and very convenient. The coffee is very smooth and the finished product tastes like it came from a coffee house. I will definitely be reordering.

    Excellent flavor and very convenient

    It's really hard to find a decaf coffee instant or concentrate that really tastes good, so I was very happy to find this. I am very sensitive to caffeine, and this feels like little to no caffeine. That makes it perfect for making a decaf mocha latte for dessert after dinner.

    Great pods, but price increase is bad

    I do love these decaf coffee pods. But I agree with others that the price has skyrocketed since last summer. The 6 pack is much cheaper per pod than the 12 pack, however. I love to add a cup of ice, a cup of milk, a pod, and a little salted caramel syrup to my blender for a cold summer treat.
