    Convenient travel option

    Saturnbird has been my travel go-to coffee for a while now, and these are the same consistent quality as their earlier options. They are smaller than the older ones, so I find myself using two pods where I had previously used one.

  • Jennifer Chen Verified purchase ★★★★☆

    Perfect for camping

    I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the instant coffee. Could be larger for a stronger cup but the flavor was similar to brewed coffee and held up well both hot and cold. No issues dissolving since it was so fine and didn't have any residue.

    Pleasantly surprised!

    For those complaining about the price of this item, for 18 pieces/servings, you’re paying less than $0.90/serving.
