Is there anybody out there?
I think we are about the last people in the country still using coffee pods! This are pods, NOT K-Cups (see the picture). The pods have a lot of advantages including price, compostable and takes up less storage space. The only issue is finding a good quality pod coffee maker. We found a good one several years ago and bought a couple. It is discontinued now so I hope it does not break!These pods taste good, are individually wrapped (most brands are not) and competitively priced. We subscribe to these for automatic delivery. Highly recommended.

it's easiest to just rip open the bag and pour it in the cup and use like regular ground coffee
I found these at a price MUCH cheaper than K Cups for my Keurig machine. Since these aren't K Cups you need the reusable cup for the machine, but each of these pods is the exact right amount of coffee for the reusable cup. After a couple of tests, it's easiest to just rip open the bag and pour it in the cup and use like regular ground coffee. The fact that these are individual sealed makes each cup fresh, especially when you may only drink one or two cups of coffee per day. It is a hassle to have to clean out the reusable cup, but the price makes up for it.

Not as good as Senseo Paris French Vanilla
I bought this to replace the Senseo Paris French Vanilla Coffee Pods that I like to use in my Hamilton Beach 1 cup pod brewer because the Senseo brand has been unavailable for quite some time. Unfortunately, this is not as good.This review is mostly for those people who like a light to medium strength coffee, not the hard-core espresso drinkers. I drink my coffee weak -- not super strong -- but also not watery. My daily one cup of coffee is a treat I allow myself, and I use a smaller coffee mug (holds up to 8 ounces comfortably) so I don't need a lot of coffee, but, this coffee is extremely weak (even for me) and I have to be sure to use **no more than** 6 ounces of water with this brand, otherwise it is just too weak and watery.I've tried using 2 pods at a time to see if that would help but, oddly enough, even with 12 ounces of water per cup the coffee comes out too strong for my taste. Plus, I just don't need or want more than one cup of coffee each morning.I've also noticed that this coffee has a very "acidy" aftertaste and tends to severely aggravate my heart burn which is not normally bothersome for me if I have only one (or rarely, two) cup(s) of coffee. I also have had this problem with 'Folgers' brand coffee (the regular loose coffee) that we use in our large coffee maker if someone other than just me is having coffee.If you want a larger mug of coffee, you might be able to make this work for you by using 2 pods per mug of coffee. It's just hasn't worked out for me.Note: I have also tried Wolfgang Puck's "Caramel Creme" flavored coffee and it is a bit smoother without the acid aftertaste. The caramel creme is much more like Senseo's Paris French Vanilla, but it still only makes a 6 ounce cup of coffee.

Similar to Senseo's Paris French Vanilla, just not as good
You may be able to tell from the title for this review that I enjoy Senseo's Paris French Vanilla coffee pods. I decided to try Wolfgang Puck's caramel creme in my Hamilton Beach 1 cup pod brewer because the Senseo brand has been unavailable for quite some time. Unfortunately, Wolfgang Puck's version is not as good.If you prefer a strong cup of coffee this brand will most likely not satisfy you. Also, the Hamilton Beach Pod Brewer does not make the crema layer that a lot of people seem to like, so I don't know if this brand will do that well or not. I drink my coffee weak -- not super strong -- but also not watery. My daily one cup of coffee is a treat I allow myself and I enjoy the French Vanilla and Caramel flavored coffees. Also, I use a smaller coffee mug (it holds at most 8 ounces comfortably) so I don't need a lot of coffee but this stuff is extremely weak (even for me) and I have to be sure to use **no more than** 6 ounces of water with this brand, otherwise it is just too weak and watery to be palatable. Again, if you use a different pod brewer you may get different results.I've also tried Wolfgang Puck's French Vanilla flavored coffee pods, but I find that flavor to brew up even more weak and watery than this does and it has a very "acidy" aftertaste which aggravates my heartburn -- I have not had that problem with this flavor (Caramel Creme.)If you want a larger, stronger cup of flavored coffee, you might be able to make this work better for you by using 2 pods with 12 ounces of water (the maximum amount for the HB Pod brewer); it just hasn't worked out for me. Using 12 ounces of water and 2 pods seems to more than double the strength of the coffee and it comes out stronger than I like. Also, I really only want 1 cup of coffee for my morning "ritual" so the rest is just wasted.

Convenient. You can use them in the cup like a tea bag.
Convenient. Low mess (some of the finer sediment comes out through the perforations). I use these like I would a tea bag. I tried it out in a French press and it worked but you'll probably want to use 2 or even 3 for a full press. Also, maybe don't plunge too vigorously... Learned this the hard way.

These are not pods.
In the description they were called pods. It's my mistake that I assumed they were for Keurig but they aren't even pods. They are packets of single serve coffee. I suppose I could just open the packets and put them into a reusable K-cup but that was not what I wanted. I was refunded.

Smells divine
I actually don’t drink coffee so I have to go by what my husband says. When I make coffee I always love the smell but it taste terrible to me. This coffee smells absolutely fantastic and my husband loves it I only use it as a treat so he doesn’t get spoiled
