    Strong and Clean Taste

    I enjoy the bold flavor of dark roast coffee. It has been difficult to find that good strong flavor in a k-cup, until now. These k-cups brew a delicious cup of coffee. It tastes like good percolated coffee. I also like that I can easily cut open the k-cup to access the grounds for my compost bin.

    Favorite Coffee! Great for those who like true coffee flavor

    San Francisco brand French Roast coffee has been my go to coffee for years now. It consistently has an enjoyable bold, true coffee flavor and aroma. When visiting coffee houses trying coffees from different regions of the world is something I enjoy and it's so cool of an experience tasting the differences.

    AH-MAZING!

    San Francisco Bay Coffee "K-Cups" changed how I shop for everything. My normal routine for buying coffee started when I was at the grocer, perusing through the coffee isle. Was I going to pay 13$ for 10 cups of Starbucks K-Cups (1.30$ a cup), or was I going to pay 8$ for Folgers of the same amount (.80$ a cup).

    I Approve :)

    I've bought a few of the 80 cup variety packs now and I would recommend San Francisco Bay OneCups to my fellow coffee drinkers. I think overall, the coffee is great, but there are some downsides that others may not enjoy.
