    Great coffee

    I’ve been using K-cups since they were introduced. Eventually, the cost increased and I began reading about the heat interacting with the plastic pod. Looking to economize and at the same time concerned about my health, I turned to Altura after reading its reviews.

  • Dalia L Verified purchase ★★★★☆

    Convenient and delicious.

    I really enjoy this coffee. I am someone who is kind of lazy, so I basically need coffee that I can just pour in a cup with some hot water and be good to go.The crystals themselves seem to be a bit larger than the generic kinds you can buy in the store, but I don't think this effects the taste.
