Roast Ridge Single Serve Coffee Pods for Keurig K-Cup Brewers, Salted Caramel, Medium Roast, 100 Count

I wanted to try some new coffee so I gave this these guys a go. Big mistake. The lids blow open and the cup fills with coffee grounds. I had it happen with the first one I put in so I thought maybe my coffee maker was clogged so I cleaned everything up, made sure there was no coffee left in the pin on top and bottom and gave it another try. I happened a second time which is when I took photos of it. Don't buy. I would give less than one if I could.

I foolishly bought into the high ratings for this off-brand coffee without checking a website I use to spot fake reviews on Amazon. When I did check that site, I found it rated the 5-star reviews of this coffee an "F" -- basically, fake. And now I know why. The very first KCup I put in my Keurig backed up, overflowed and finally dumped a stream of grounds into my cup, on the counter and on the floor. What is worse, when a KCup fails in this way, it jams grounds into the needle that allows water to flow through. The Keurig was blocked and unable to function even with a quality KCup. I had to disassemble the cup holder and flush out the stuck grounds before the machine would work again. A big mess and wasted time. The coffee itself wasn't bad -- I tasted what had dribbled into the cup, trying to avoid the grounds, and it seemed ok. But no matter how it might taste, it is simply not worth the risk of a big mess and a clogged Keurig. There are other brands of KCups on Amazon at about the same price that actually work like they are supposed to work. Look for them instead.

I love flavored coffee and have purchased many brands from Amazon over the last 7 months with no problems. Normally do not buy $30 in coffee, but thought I would give it a try. The k-pod packages have (with few exceptions so far) opened on the top while brewing the coffee, creating a liquid mess on my countertop and/or grounds in my cup. Since the product is nonreturnable (which is crazy if it is defective) I am out $30 and need to watch intently each time I make a cup of coffee. Definitely NOT a happy camper!!!

My first cup smelled and tasted great, but then I started spitting out coffee grinds. I opened the keurig and saw a mess of grinds it left behind in the machine. The pod's top seal broke so the grinds were leaking out the top. I thought it might be a fluke, so I cleaned the machine thoroughly until it was clean water, then tried another pod. Same issue. I did troubleshooting research, purchased a keurig cleaner gadget and made sure there was no buildup in there or the needle causing it. I used a different brand pod and it worked fine. Tried these again after cleaning the keurig and again, more coffee grind mess. I then tested them on another keurig at work it did the same thing for multiple attempts.I don't know if I got a bad batch, but troubleshooting the machines, purchasing keurig machine cleaning gadgets, testing on multiple keurigs - all took about a month and put me past my return window so I'm out the $30. Maybe this was a bad batch and I'll consider a better rating if I get to return and replace these flawed ones.

I have a Bunn My Cafe single-serve coffee maker with different trays that accept K-cups, loose coffee, tea bags, etc. I primarily use the tray for the K-cups, and I've never had any major trouble with any of the cups I've ordered from different companies on Amazon or purchased at stores. However, every cup I've tried from this Roast Ridge collection has made a huge mess in my coffeemaker. The cup sits down in the cup-holder just fine with a "snap" (hole poked in the bottom), but then once the hot water starts entering the cup, coffee grounds go everywhere. I've resorted to peeling the top off the cup and dumping it into the loose coffee tray for my coffee maker, but the grounds still seem to clog the tray, not allowing the water to filter through, leaving a mess to clean up. There is no visible difference in the structure of these cups vs other k-cups; I believe the trouble is with the size of the coffee grounds, perhaps it's too finely ground, causing the grinds to form a paste that prevents the water from filtering through?

This is a better than average, smooth, donut shop-style blend coffee. It's a coffee that is cheap, but with the best value flavor for the price. Here's the deets on my opinions:Better than: Folgers, Maxwell House, Starbucks, ChockFulloNuts, Great ValueNot as good as: Caribou Blend, Biggby Blend, Victor Allen Kona, Green Mountain Lake & Lodge

We are on our third batch of 100 and have yet to have a single issue with the pods/ Are we just lucky or is there an issue with their machines or technique???? I have no idea and was hesitant because of the reviews but even my picky daughter(high school senior), likes these - especially the pecan. Maybe our luck will run out but so far they are perfect - never any grounds Great flavors and great price.

I am enjoying each and every cup. I like a variety and all the other packs have fruit or mint flavors.I have been using for several months and have had no problem with leaking k cups.I will be purchasing again!
