Maxwell House Cafe Coffee Pods

Maxwell House Cafe House Blend Coffee Pods, 18 CountI was really excited when I heard Maxwell House was finally selling coffee for Keurig brewers. Before my Keurig days I drank nothing but Maxwell House. Than I saw the asking price compared to other K-cups. I guess they are hoping folks will just "brand shop" and not pay attention to the price per cup.

Having had surprisingly good experiences with Maxwell House coffee in restaurants (i.e. it was so tasty I had to ask what it was), I figured I'd give these a whirl, especially after reading the few reviews there were.

My verdict: Underwhelming.

Flavor:

If you like robust, full-bodied coffee that actually tastes like coffee, and not coffee-ish water, this isn't for you. It's not awful, just not what I was hoping for.

Price:

I paid $19.99 for 18 cups, expecting something really good. It's not worth the money paid. I shan't buy more. I get better (and more) coffee at the Keurig site. 24 cup packages go for $14.02.

Product:

So far, three out of the last 12 cups we've drunk were defective the machine would not/could not puncture a hole in the bottom of the cup.

So...save your money.

I just bought a 12 cup box at the market this weekend for $6.99! This is price is insane!! How can they even hope to compete in the K-Cup market like this? House Blend was good, but Nantucket Blend is much better for HALF the price!

Old Wessex Ltd. All-Natural 5 Grain Cereal, 18.5-Ounce Canisters (Pack of 12)

Old Wessex Ltd. All-Natural 5 Grain Cereal, 18.5-Ounce CanistersThis is a very nice hot cereal. The five grains give it a somewhat nutty flavor and a more complex texture than regular oatmeal, and it's quick to cook on the stove at only about 6 minutes. I like adding Wyman's frozen blueberries and strawberries (I add those when the oatmeal is done cooking but the heat is still on, so the frozen fruit can thaw a bit) as well as a bit of maple syrup and milk. mmm mm mm.

MUCH TO MY DISMAY WHOLE FOODS NO LONGER CARRIES OLD WESSEX FIVE GRAIN CEREAL. I USUALLY STOCK UP ON IT WHEN I GO TO THE STORE. I HAD TO ORDER IT ON LINE AND TAKE A CASE. MY GRANDAUGHTER WHO IS EIGHT WAS EATING IT OUT OF THE BOX. I GAVE MY DAUGHTER A FEW BOXES AND SHE MADE HER FAMOUS COOKIES WITH CHOCOLATE CHIPS FROM THE RECIPE ON THE BOX. I USUALLY DON'T GET TO EAT LUNCH UNTIL AFTER TWO O'CLOCK SO THIS CEREAL REALLY KEEPS ME WELL FORTIFIED. I ADD PROTEIN POWDER, WHEAT GERM AND GROUND FLAX SEED TO THE HOT CEREAL AND ALSO SOY MILK. WHAT A TREAT!!!

I bought this cereal partially to benefit from the omega 3's from the flax.But the company admits their flax is in the form of WHOLE flax .It is a well accepted fact that little if any nutrients can be absorbed from the whole seed.I must admit the cereal is delicious.I recommend the multigrain cereal from Hodgson Mill or the 5 grain multigrain from Bob's Red Mill where the flax seeds are ground so they can be digested and the nutrients absorbed.

Oatmeal doesn't taste good to me without fruit and/or other sweetener, while this blend of oats and other grains tastes great as a savory porridge, to which grated cheese can be added. I've found that a single portion can be cooked in the microwave just so long as the container is big enough -use twice as much water as dry cereal (for example, 1/2 cup cereal, 1 cup of water), and it cooks fine in the microwave in six minutes. I don't think it saves any time, but it avoids the need for stirring, and if the container is something one can eat out of, that's one less thing to wash (I use a Pyrex 4 cup measure, which seems like a nice big breakfast bowl with a handle). Sometimes I mix the Old Wessex Five Grain Cereal with Bob's Red Mill Seven Grain Cereal -the Old Wessex is a flaked cereal, while Bob's Red Mill is steel cut, and usually takes a little longer to cook. When cooked up together (1/4 cup of each, combined with 1-1/4 cups of water -and I add a pinch of salt), the texture seems more interesting than the result with either individually.

I've eaten the 5 grain cereal almost every day (I do need to mix it up from time to time) for the past 3 years and feel great from it. I've lost weight, lowered my cholesterol and it keeps the pipes clean (if you‘re over 45 you know what I mean). Sometimes I add maple syrup, fruit, raisins, chocolate chips, and other add-ins for variety. It's MUCH better than commercial oatmeal and quicker to make than steal cut oats. No. I do not work for the company or profit from endorsing it. I just really enjoy and benefit from the product.

N'Joy Fruit Harvest, 2.58-Ounces, 8-Count,

N'Joy Fruit Harvest,  2.58-Ounces, 8-Count,I just bought two more cases to use while traveling. Allows me to have breakfast in my hotel room if I don't feel like going out. Just add hot water let it sit for a bit and it is tasty. This and a cup of intant Starbucks and I am good to go until lunch.

Good product, less expensive than the same gourmet oatmeal at Starbucks.

I bought this at the local Mother Hubbards gas station for $1.99 each. So no incentive to buy in bulk on Amazon.

Caza Trail Single Serve Cup for Keurig K-Cup Brewers, 50 Count

Caza Trail Donut Shop Blend, 50-Count Single Serve Cup for Keurig K-Cup BrewersPlease read edit below...

After reading all the reviews about problems with these K-Cups I was a little worried but, the price pulled me in to try them.

None of the problems (25 cups down 25 to go), others are reporting. Full size Keurig machine at home and small unit at work.

Coffee is a bit strong for the wife but I like it just fine. She uses the large cup setting now and likes it.

Nothing in bottom of cup when finished at all. Maybe they fixed the problem?

---Edit 03/09/13: Three boxes later I have experienced the problems others are having... But, I figured out the problem (at least mine). The coffee in some of the containers is packed too tight.

If shake one to loosen up the coffee before I place in the maker they work fine.

I dissected one to take a look. The coffee seems to be ground just a bit finer than other K-cups that I compared it to.

Fine coffee packed tight at bottom of K-cup equals coffee and grinds overflowing out of top of K-cup. Water can't flow through so it takes the path of least resistance. In this case, the top of the cup.

Shake till you feel all the coffee freed up in the K-cup and you will be good to go!

I have tried many different k-cup coffee versions, without problems. This Caza Trail k-cup does not work at all in my full-size Keurig maker. I have tried to brew a grounds-free cup of coffee at least a dozen times with this brand, and I have yet to succeed. This manufacturer used inferior materials to make this pod, so that the water doesn't flow properly. Consequently, it fills up with water and never completely brews a full cup of coffee. Sometimes the water leaks around the sides and out making a mess. My Keurig maker actually freezes up on "Brewing" because the pod holds the water and the water has no place to go. I try straining the cup into another mug, but the taste is nothing like the Kona coffee of another maker or purchased elsewhere. I purchased a 50-count box, so I didn't want to throw them away, but I give up on this brand.

Disappointing purchase and a waste of money. Try something else.

Buy Caza Trail Single Serve Cup for Keurig K-Cup Brewers, 50 Count Now

I've had my machine for well over two years and I have never had a K-Cup consistently leak grounds into my coffee. I even used a piece of aluminum foil over the tops to decrease the amount of grounds into my coffee... Guess what? It worked! I was excited to get a K-Cup 'type' product for a good price, but with grounds everywhere... I will not be ordering again.

Caza Kona blend coffee K cups are of inferior quality. When brewing, they come apart and coffee grounds get into the coffee.I would not recommend this product.

These cups are poorly made. 9 out of 10 cups produced coffee with a significant amount of grounds in my cup. I don't mind a few grounds, but this was way too much floating in my cup. The flavor was average, you get what you pay for I guess.

Country Choice Organic Fit Kids Instant Oatmeal (Chocolate Chip, Cinnamon Toast) Variety Pack, 8 Co

Country Choice Organic Fit Kids Instant Oatmeal Variety Pack, 8 Count Servingsunfortunately, this oatmeal doesn't really fit the bill for me or or my kids. while the ingredient list looks good, the added sugar is a bit high (but no worse than the norm) and i wondered why they added the extra vitamins. also, the packages are a bit smaller than quaker, and while that isn't a problem in and of itself, each package has as much simple sugars added as the slightly larger quaker (even though the box says: "now less sugar")! but the kids are the final judge on this one, and my kids don't really like it. my 6 yr old wouldn't eat either flavor without adding maple syrup. they are pretty high in sugar to start, but adding more sugar just to get her to eat it completely minimizes the nutritional value. my 14 yr old says she doesn't like the texture AT ALL and has basically refused to eat it. i would definitely recommend buying just one box to try it before spending the money on a case as i did!

Zing Oatmeal with Chocolate Chips Gluten Free Bars, 1.76-Ounce (Pack of 6)

Zing Oatmeal with Chocolate Chips Gluten Free Bars, 1.76-OunceTastes very good. Over all great bar! Not too sweet, so its good for bridging you to the next meal or replacing a meal. I didn't like the choc peanut butter so much, personally; however if you like heavy nuts go for it! Well thought out product line.

Zing bars are my new favorite on the go snack. I've tried a number of other gluten free snack bars, but they either didn't taste very good or were loaded with calories but little nutrition. Zing bars taste delicious and are very nutritious. They aren't exactly low calorie, but are very convenient to take along when you don't know what the day will bring.

Wolferman's San Francisco Sourdough English Muffin Bread 4-Pack

Wolferman's San Francisco Sourdough English Muffin Bread 4-PackSliced bread is a good thing, so that is one good point for this seller. Honesty in advertising stops there. The bread is not real sourdough. According to the picture, half of the bread loaves have blueberries in them. My shipment has no blueberry loaves.

Pop-Tarts, Frosted Blueberry, 12-Count Tarts (Pack of 12)

Pop-Tarts, Frosted Blueberry, 12-Count TartsPop tarts are fantastic and the frosted blueberry is delicious. This by far is a great deal. Family size packages adding up to 144 tarts. For a quick snack they are perfect.

Poptarts what can one say? They are prepackaged somewhat tasteless sugar dough pastry enveloping an overly sweetened inside filling that pretends to be fruit like. There is a hard, crusty sugar icing that softens up with the pastry in the toaster. The blueberry is my favorite flavor of the bunch tastes most like blueberry for me. My kids love them, and think they are one of the best emergency treats they can get. I don't get it, but my kids and I don't always think alike regarding food.

Advantage they last forever. Great emergency snack to pack in the trunk of a car.

Disadvantage they last forever. I can't imagine what preservatives are in there that make them imperishable. Bland tasting.

JUST A QUICK FYI NOTE This is shipped in a big HEAVY box. The box was shipped in a larger Amazon box. This results in the interior box clanking around in the larger outside box. And due to the best efforts of our favorite delivery providers, many of the poptarts get crunched. Amazon was kind enough to assist with this issue, but you should know that the big, heavy box does take it's toll on the rather crumbly pastries inside during shipping.

The amount of pop tarts you get through this purchase is pretty insane.. good thing they last for a long time. I tend to eat these when either I'm in a hurry or too lazy to make something. I would also throw one of these in my pack (inside a tin) when heading to school. The flavor is pretty decent but I think just the sheer amount will make you sick of them (if eating them all yourself). The part that gets old first is the frosting and if I ever were to buy a heap of tarts again, I would buy unfrosted. The frosting just gets to be a bit overwhelming when you have that many.

If you enjoy Pop-Tarts and blueberry taste then you will like these. Purchased them on Amazon when they had them on sale and it was a really good price. Only thing I suggest is that you read the ingredients first since if I recall correctly they did not contain any actual blueberry's and use artificial sugars.
