Single Serve Coffee Pods for Keurig K Cup Brewers, High Caffeine, Strong Roast, 30 Count

love it , get me going

I have been searching for a bolder K-cup to use in the Keurig that does not taste like the bottom of an ashtray. This one so far seems to work. I do not have to brew smaller cups in the Keurig and use a ton of pods as I do with other K-cups. The Hard Core Coffee from the K-Cup gives you almost always a decent stronger coffee flavor that should be in a coffee without the ashtray taste. We have had some boxes that seem to be a little on the weaker side however and we have the other problem of them tasting like a coffee cup that sits with hot water in it so you know you should be tasting coffee so it might be but it really is just a hot water. However, those are few and far between. I do not like the price I pay for this coffee but that is really any coffee especially in the K-cups these days. They are all too expensive and this is actually cheaper per box than other name-brand coffees and better than the cheaper box store k-cups that do constantly taste like ashtrays or an old cup of hot water in a dirty coffee mug.

These pods were good but not special considering the price or taste. I weigh all the coffee pods and these were in at 16 gm, like all the other middle of the road pods. They do it with addatives and roast rather than more coffee per pod.

This is a special treat for my husband and roommate when they need the extra caffeine boost.They both love it, and that makes me happy.

The is a very good strong cup of coffee. Smooth and not bitter, great first cup in the morning.

First off I love this coffee. I have been buying it for a while as it has a great taste and does the job of getting me going in the morning. However the cups themselves often crack at the bottom in my coffee maker where they are punctured. It causes them to leak and leave a mess. I went through three the other day just to get one that didn't crack across the whole base. I have to push them rather hard as I've had two other cups from this not even puncture at the bottom and that caused a way bigger problem to clean up. Great coffee just terrible cups.

I usually order the extra caffeinated coffee called “Death Wish” (black box with skulls) but it’s SO EXPENSIVE… obviously this isn’t cheap, but it’s way less expensive than that coffee. It’s also so much yummier! It’s really rich and dark, not bitter and well-rounded. Innoway, it reminds me of Starbucks Holiday Blend.I honestly don’t notice the extra caffeine in any of these sorts of coffees, but I’m also a caffeine nut so it doesn’t affect me as much. I did notice a good “jolt of alertness” when I felt groggy today, though! Absolutely will order this again.TIP: if you like sweeter coffees, add a Vanilla Cappuccino cup to this! It’s so good! I get Amazon’s Happy Belly cups, and just set my Keurig to the smallest cup size so I can squeeze both in one mug! 😉

OK, I am on my 3rd order since I found Hardcore ! Many, Many More to come! My wife and I are die-hard Peets fans, namely the Major Dickason Roast. But Hardcore is our equal go to now, saved for our weekend enjoyment. Its organic, as is most of the items we consume. So that explains the few dollars more on the price tag for 10 cups. I am afraid to tell you what I would do if Costco carried these in a 72 count. Taste, color, aroma and mouth feel is supreme! If you really like good coffee, you need Hardcore in your life! I'm a 2 cupper, the wife is one and we are set to go !If Hardcore reads this, please let me know how I can get the promo pack like one of the other reviewers received, here's why:-I'm a guitar player-My Belgian Malinois needs a bandana-My coffee machine & Guitar case need stickers-Jacket needs a patchAnd where the HECK can I get that cool tin coffee cup shown in the photos?Hardcore, don't let me down !
