I was at Costco today and noticed they don't have the Starbucks coffee K-Cups anymore. I also noticed they now have their own brand where I get twice as much for just a few dollars more. I don't drink coffee, it's for my husband. Before I buy 100 K-Cups, does anyone like it and how would you compare it to Starbucks?
My girlfriend, who considers herself a Starbucks "snob" - will drink the Kirkland brand.
It's comparable. Maybe NOT as good - but comparable.
Don't use K cups. Use regular coffee in cafe cup. They are like 4 I. Pkg. for $10. Just rinse and reuse. Over and over and over etc.
I haven't tried the K-cups but I only buy Kirkland ground coffee anymore. It is pretty good coffee. Maybe not quite as good as fresh-ground-from-the-coffee-shop, but as good or better than the Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts or other pricier brands at the grocery store I was buying before. And it's only $11 for 3 lbs! I would imagine the k-cups are comparable.
I have them and they're awesome! I recommend the dark red label, the dark roast K cups from Kirkland. Costco has a great brand with Kirkland for less money than other name brands, and I think their foods and even some clothing items (men's white t-shirts for example) are awesome. I say get them!
Well I asked this question before too, and no one had tried it. But you know, most everything from Costco is great. But I still haven't tried the coffee.
My husband hates the K-cups! All of them.
Personally, I'm a tea drinker. :)
Really, most people I know are moving back to their drip coffee pots because of the HUGE waste issue with the pods for coffee.
