Side by Side Comparison of: Custom Variety Pack vs Generic vs Simple Cups

This was a great variety pack for my mothers first cup of the morning, cool or warm weather. Great price too. Only thing I would mention is that they came in a plain box, but a little decorated bag and maybe a dispenser tree included, made a super gift.

Ordered these for the new Wingnut Evil Lair. Mrs. Wingnut requested a Keurig (purple, of course!) as her housewarming gift from Mr. Wingnut. Fortunately, this lovely assortment of K-Cups arrived the day before the brewing machine did! I looked for a nice assortment of drinks for a Keurig newb and ran across these. There's something for everyone in this collection. Coffees, teas, ciders,hot chocolates - it turned out to be an excellent starter pack. Us Wingnuts don't drink much coffee (because we're all jacked up on Mountain Dew!) but some of our victims, ummm, guests do. This is a great assortment to include with a new Keurig machine as a gift.

A great sampler for everything but coffee (even though there's 6) for those that just got a Kuerig Brewer. If you're wanting to try Teas, get Twinings K-Cup Tea Sampler, 10-Count as well. You'll be able to try just about all of them with both sets. dont' use more then 7 oz. or it'll be a bit watered down.Chai Tea isnt' in this, and it's very good. Chai Latte's even better, like liquid desert. To be honest, you can get Twinnings teas in boxes of 20 bags at the store and it's a lot cheaper that way (then Kcups) and tastes the same, maybe a bit better. And you can do Chai Latte Kcups with a Chai teabag. Just put 6 oz of water and 1 oz of milk in a glass measuring cup, nuke it till it's boiling (a minute and 20 seconds ro so), pour over tea bag and let it "steep" for 3 minutes or so... swirl the bag a bit. add a packet of sugar and stir. Chai LAtte...The cider is REALLY good, but you can only get Grove Square cider on here, I can't find it ni any store in Miami at least...... There is a 54 count box of Cider, 27 of each. That should last awhile, then order another.As far as the cocoa, Milk and dark chaocolate arent' much different, Dark's just a little more chocolatey. Not like candy bars, dark chocolate's a tiny bit bitter. I Like Irish Crème cocoa the best though, and caramel's good, but cant' get either of those anywhere around here either. But there's a variety pack of those on here as well lol....MY local walkmart you can get Grove Square French Vanilla, Hazelnut (the best) and caramel cappucinnos and milk chocolate cocoa for like $5 a box of 18.

Premium Organic Stevia Powder 30g - USDA Certified All Natural Alternative Sweetener 320x Sweeter than Sugar No Artificial additives & fillers ingredients, Industrial Grade Highly Concentrated ExtractThis pack has a great variety. There wasn't a single blend that I wasn't happy with. The hot cocos were delicious.

We love trying new keurig brands and flavors so this was the perfect choice. So far we've tried a few and love a the ones we've tried so far. It's great! You will always have choices and options to choose from.

Have not heard of some of these coffees before. But all good so far. If you want to broaden you taste buds, try some of these.

Not all of these are compatible with my 2.0! I guess I should've read through all the questions and reviews first to figure that out, but well, I was in a hurry and didn't do it. I am getting a reusable filter anyway, so I'll just empty those into my reusable one and hope that works, but it would be nice if the description said something about them not being compatible with the 2.0 so I didn't have to dig through questions and reviews to discover that.**Editing because the selection deserves a good rating at least! This had a nice variety of different flavors within a few different brands. It's a great way to try out some different things without having to buy big quantities of them. Some are good, some aren't so good, but now we know what we like and don't like.**

I misread it. I'm not too happy I got duplicates, but it is in the product details which I had to click to see more. Same with not working with the Keurig 2.0, I saw by clicking more that it actually says it might not in the description. In that case, I only took away one star instead of giving 3. Just wasn't what I expected, but it does mention both.

First let me start off by saying that for me to give 5 stars a product must go above and beyond my expectation. That being said I rate this product at 4 stars because it has met my expectations. This was a nice variety pack to have in case of those unexpected guests who show up or visiters who are staying and you do not know what they may like. Though I do feel that the counts of each were slightly unequal. Getting more of cide than coffee and tea. I understand this is a careity pack but there was a little less varitey than I expected.

If you are looking for a variety pack, with a mix of coffee, tea, ciders, hot cocoa and cappuccinos, this is the way to go. This 30 count mix of K-cups is great for trying new products or for when you have guests over that may have different tastes than you.Personally, I would not have purchased this just for myself. I am more of a cider, hot cocoa and (sporadically) coffee; the rest would go to waste. I purchased this with the intent to share this with a coworker and to try different brands of k-cups.All of the K-cups worked fine EXCEPT the happy Brew Shop k-cups. Unlike the foil sealed traditional k-cups, these were sealed with a thin plastic that made more of a mess as I'm not sure K-cups are meant to be sealed with that material.Otherwise, it's a great product

before buying I read that other reviewers lamented that ot wasn't all coffee or there was too many of the non-coffee cups in this selection.Well, this is a nice selection of all sorts of beverages that can be brewed with the Keurig K cup one cup brewers. HOWEVER, if you have the new version 2.0 Keurig brewer, these won't work because that don't have that "bar code" arount the lip of the cups. I read of work arounds where you cut out a bar code ring and slip it arount the non 2.0 k cups to fool the brewer, It might work. The selections that are included are quite diverse and all, so far have been pretty tasty. I would reconmmend it.

We bought a Keurig 2.0. We found out that the K-cups that don't have the Keurig symbol does not work in the machine. Some of the K cups in this variety pack do not have that symbol so we have take the coffee out and put into a reusable k cup. As for the coffee and tea selection, it is a great variety and we have enjoyed it.

when I got my machine I was very excited to get all these great flavors, however, I didn't know this, several cups didn't work in my K machine, kept getting the "opps" message and had to throw away several cups. I now know to make sure all Kcup purchases in the future are K cup authorized. The coffees, teas and cocoas were great, just hated to toss the ones I didn't get to try.

This served its purpose for me, but I'm sure there was a better way for me to try out a variety of k-cups after getting my first Keurig...and trying to start drinking coffee as an adult. Don't ignore the other reviews that say this is mostly NOT coffee. It's mostly not coffee. You'll get a truly shocking amount of apple cider. I didn't even realize that many people drank apple cider...at all, ever. You'll get a few delicious cappuccinos (which is why I got this variety pack and why they get 3 stars rather than 1 or 2), some hot chocolate, a small pile of tea (only one of which is green tea, if you're even that lucky...and one "Tea, Earl Grey, Hot" amidst the floral, black, etc.), a huge pile of apple cider, and a little coffee. My understanding is that this experience varies, but I can't attest to this personally.I received no duplicates in any of the flavors except apple cider. In the apple cider, I received multiples of several, and probably about 7-9 apple ciders total out of 30 k-cups. Seriously? This seller is just padding orders with apple cider.This helped me figure out which coffee to buy next, but not by giving me a variety of options to compare. I realized I like light roast better than dark. That's all this helped me with. That and teaching me that cappuccino is delicious (though I later discovered the French Vanilla has 80 calories, so, no thanks).The vast majority of these k-cups are gathering dust in my k-cup drawer, and I'm sure they'll eventually line a landfill, unused. But if you have diverse tastes and really want to be sure you get some tea, hot chocolate, coffee, cappuccino, and apple cider (lots of apple cider) then this one could work well for you.

All of the flavored coffee/cappucinos are sweetened with fake sugar. It makes my tongue curl up, I cannot stand the taste of splenda/equal/sucralose/stevia!! I am so glad I bought this sampler pack before buying a full box of any of them. Terrible. The plain coffees were good, except for Emeril's one. It literally tasted like cigarette butts soaked in water, then lit on fire again. Pure hell. Not even water, sugar, and creamer could save it. Gross. Celestial teas were delish but expensive to rebuy. TLDR:1. If you hate fake sugar, don't get a Keurig if you like creamy/flavored drinks. They all have fake sugar.2. Stick with breakfast and medium roast blends; Emeril's dark blend is for Satan only.3. The teas are good, especially lemon zinger, but the price for these cups vs. bags is almost 40 cents more a cup.4. There are way too many spiced cider cups in this sampler.

Interesting selection but loads of doubles and triples. I had more of the spiced apple cider than anything. "Cappuccinos" are incredibly sweet. If you wanted a tasty, sweet hot beverage for a cold winter night, but you aren't diabetic or prone to sugar-hyperness, I say order. Also, if you truly enjoy spiced apple cider, go for it.Not really worth it for the coffee choices.

I purchased these right around the same time as purchasing a cop machine that has a K-cup brewer in the same unit and was so excited (to be lazy hah). But then, after trying a few different cups, all of different flavors, they were NOT tasting good. They tasted like plastic, like chemical to be more exact. Thinking it was just the machine being new and not use before,I cleaned my machine a few times, ran lots of hot water through both the drip coffee side and the K-cup side, and then tried another cup. It still tasted like the ones before! I couldn't believe it. So I contacted Amazon and they refunded me after I sent back the unused cups.I don't know what was actually the problem, because every K-cup I've used since then tastes great. But the 3 stars was for the prompt delivery and fantastic customer service from Amazon and the speedy refund. I'm hoping this was just a fluke and that no one else has had to deal with this.

This was a nice way to try a lot of different k cups for my new Keurig. I liked most of them, but wish there was less stuff from Grove Square. Their cocoas and ciders have a very strong sucralose taste which I really don't like. For that reason, I will not be buying this variety pack again.

I had several that won't even work with my Keurig! Thankfully I have one of the kcups you can put your own coffee grounds into and was able to dump these in there to be able to use them.. but still. Don't advertise this as "k cups" when half of them don't even work with a Keurig. Also, mine had hardly any actual coffee. Just a lot of ciders and hot chocolates.

Quite disappointed. Item is described as 6 pods of coffee, 6 tea pods, 6 ciders, 6 hot cocoa & 6 cappuccinos. It arrived with 1 cider, 3 tea pods & all the rest were coffees. I can understand substituting with a variety but let's at least get close to the original offer. I would have emailed the seller to see if they would make it right but that wasn't an option & leaving a review is...PS -it did arrive before it's scheduled date, so that was a plus.

I gave my daughter and son in law a Keurig for Christmas. Since the three children don't drink coffee I thought this would be a good variety pack as it had ciders nd hot chocolate! Of the 30 cups listed in the description, only 3 were actually shi[[ed. All the rest were something not listed in their description. Only a couple hot chocolates and ciders. VERY DISAPPOINTED. Why list what is in the variety pack if you are not going to send it?

I'm still going to enjoy the coffee, but why not make a sample pack that's just for keurig OR just for keurig 2.0 instead of mixing them together? Or how about sending your customers the k-cups that are listed in the description?..Its a bit disappointing. I think I'll just break down and buy an 18 pack of cappuccino cups from the store next time.

I wasn't happy with my purchase. I knew going in spending $20 on 30-count wasn't going to get me exactly what I wanted, however I did expect a bit moreAs my title says, I wasn't too thrilled with the selections of flavors. First of all there were very few plain coffee - I think 4 total. The rest are flavored coffee/cappuccinos, a few tea pods. The majority is cocoa of the flavored ciders. It's like buying mixed nuts and getting mostly peanuts, a few almonds, cashews, etc.Very disappointed. Everything looked like someone just scooped up a bunch of random pods with no rhyme or reason to the choices - the only similarity to the cocoa and flavored ciders was the looked like all the fall flavors like cinnamon apple, pumpkin spice.The cocoas, what little coffees there were, the other stuff were okay tasting.FOLLOW UP - the Happy Meadow cappuccinos do NOT fit the Hamilton Beach models single-serve makersChange "I probably won't buy these again - I would say there a 99% chance I won't" to "I definitely won't buy these again" Nor will I buy any with the Happy Meadows brand.

I wanted this to be a fun way to try out such a wide variety, which I guess it was except a lot of them just weren't enjoyable. Specifically: as others have said, the cider and a few others had such a strong imitation sweetener taste that I couldn't finish the cup. I mean, you know the taste of cider, right? It's pleasing. But then imaging imitation apple with like Sweet N Low in it. It was gross. Also - and I'm sorry, I'm posting this a few months after so I forget which ones, but at least three cups were stale - like, the contents were hardened into a block and simply couldn't brew. They were not expired, so this might have been due to improper storage temperatures in a warehouse (?). I wouldn't know. The coffees included some really cheap brands that tasted yucky. I drank them by adding extra cream. I am a pretty frugal person but I threw away about half of these I'd say. I would never buy this package again.

If I could give a zero star I would. As the other review with pictures stated most of the cups were expired. All but 5 were old as in 2015. The ones that weren't expired were still bubbled up on top. NO NAME BRAND CUPS IN THIS PACKAGE. I got such name brands as Value Foods discount coffee, Authenic, Same As and so on. I wasted $20.00 on something I have to throw away. Some of these had actual chunks inside the cup. I could shake them and hear it bouncing around the cup. I feel totally mislead and flat out lied to. This is a fraudulent sale. Do not even take the chance!

Absolute garbage. Not one cup matched the picture or description. Came loose in a plain cardboard box; most expired. Almost all were coffee, which I especially did not want & expressly ordered it due to the small # of coffees (supposedly) included. Also, quite a few are "Great Value" brand, which is Wal-Mart. I don't have a problem buying Wal-Mart coffee; but I'm not going to pay a premium for it.This vendor WILL take this back & give me a refund; also I am going to pursue this so either this vendor cleans up its act or Amazon drops them. I work for an Amazon vendor and we are held to very high standards so this situation is surprising to me

I ordered this because it was supposed to be a variety of coffee, tea, cappuccino, hot chocolate and cider. Unfortunately I received 24 k-cups of coffee, 5 of tea, 1 of cider, 0 cappuccino, and 0 hot chocolate. This advertising was very misleading. Next time I will just order a variety of coffees (from another company) since that is essentially what I received anyway.

While I did receive a variety of flavors, I did not receive a single one of the k-cups pictured above. I received 30 knock-off brand k-cups. There was no Grove Square, Twinings, Bigelow, Celestial, Donut Shop, Caribou, Emeril, etc. Instead I get Snapple, McDonald's Pumpkin Spice, among other random brands not pictured. I would not recommend this unless you're okay with receiving a random variety of things not pictured. Also, the item is non-returnable, which is not stated anywhere. Luckily, Amazon is AWESOME and very helpful. I do not recommend this pack. Keep looking!

I didn't receive any cappuccino or hot cocoa. Only 1 Apple cider which it specifies 3.. I brought this solely for the variety of cappuccinos and tea. This should be less than a star

At least one of them does not work on my new machine and I am NOT testing the other 29. Machine takes KCups but has some fancy optical scanner that rejects these types of KCups for reasons beyond my understanding.
