Hamilton Mills Ligth Roast Coffee Pods, Compatible with Keurig K-Cup Brewers, Morning Roast, 40 Count

I am not a coffee snob who can only have an extremely specific brand or blend to be happy. If you are, you probably should think twice before ordering anything other than your preferred K-Cup, but if you are open-minded, the Hamilton Mills variety pack is an excellent option. Enclosed in the 40-count box are a variety of blends which vary from good to excellent. I like to have decaf in the house and there were a few of their Morning Roast Decaf K-Cups included which I appreciated, though if you want no decaf in your variety pack, you might want to look elsewhere.I appreciated the smoothness of the Cape Cod Blend, Hamilton House, and Heritage Blend most, all of which are full of flavor but not bitter in the least. I am not a fan of most flavored coffee, but here the flavors are natural and subtle enough to be enjoyable (and they smell great.) I was particularly dubious about Toasted Cinnamon, but actually enjoyed that one a great deal. The only one I was not crazy about was Vanilla Bean, which both smelled and tasted a bit artificial to me (though it wasn't pronounced enough to prevent me from drinking it or reordering the variety pack.) Hamilton Mills makes very good coffee (better than many of the big names in my opinion) at an excellent price: I have reordered this variety pack and keep coming back to this assortment because the taste is excellent and the value is unbeatable.

I was concerned about the reviews claiming these cups were lesser quality and didn't work. I got them anyway and couldn't be happier! The cups feel like they're made of heavier material than I'm used to. I have no problems with my machine and these cups.The variety is nice, too. For less than I pay at a big box for a bunch of identical cups, I get to have enough variety to meet my needs. I like a strong cup in the morning, lighter in the afternoon and decaf at night. The different flavors are great for the lazy weekend days.One word of caution, learn how to hack your machine if you bought a new fangled 2.0 machine. They added digital rights management to the machine. That means this cup, and any cup that doesn't pay a ransom to the machine's manufacturer, won't work in the machine. Because I like to keep my costs down and not have those ransoms passed on to my morning cup, I've stuck with the older machine. Luckily for you, easy hacks are found with simple searches.

I only give this 4Star solely because the plastic cup does not pierce well with my Keurig2.0 its not the coffee maker either. I have to push the cup down on the needle with my fingers because the pressure of the Keurig does not puncture it enough (but all others are just fine, which yields its the plastic of this cup). Otherwise, the coffee is fragrant and very tasty. I enjoy it a lot.

**FEB 9, 2017 UPDATE**My review was complaining about Hamilton Mills K cups not working in my Keurig2. I see in their product description that they do not work for Keurig2, so I am griping about the wrong people here. I have to say past of my reason for being upset is that Hamilton Milles makes 3 varieties that I really liked - Hamilton House Blend, Morning Roast and Heritage Blend. I am giving them the 5 stars they deserve, because all 3 of these varieties are keepers, I guess no pun intended, they were so good.***ORIGINAL REVIEW***I bought 3 boxes of 40 cups and they do not work in my Keurig 2. They worked ok in my older Kuerig but not this one. Is there a newer product that works with the new Keurig? I am stuck with around 50 of these that I cannot use. Every now and then I try again to use them, but they just do not work.All of the ones that I have bought to work with my new Keurig say "Keurig Hot". Does that have to be there, do you have a product "Hamilton Mills Hot"?I would love to get some more of this brand, but would want a guarantee directly from someone with Hamilton Mills that they will specifically work in Keurig 2. Is there any way I could trade these in for a newer product?I would give 5 stars if they would work.

I had been searching for a good cinnamon coffee that agreed with my system for a long time... Then I stumbled across this one at someone's house and tried it... I fell in love with it!!... It has a great cinnamon flavor, but it's not overpowering... I got hooked immediately on it & have been ever since... The only downfall I have found with it is, it's availability... Every time I go to reorder it, it takes a long time for it to be available again... If they could get that issue corrected, then I'd have zero to complain about with this coffee lol

A friend of mine at work let me try this coffee because I kept complaining about the nasty Newman's decaf we had for our Keurig brewer. That stuff always comes out burnt tasting and way to strong to seem like a decaf. The Hamilton Mills, on the other hand, has a nice, mild, smooth flavor that never tastes burnt and always provides a good cup of coffee without the caffeine. I much prefer this over the other decaf k-cup varieties because it's very mild (some would say weak) and tasty. That, and it's much cheaper than some of the other brands of k-cups!

I have a little problem with the shipping, 3 of the pods were open when the package arrived, I know that since the pods are sealed by machinery , I couldn't blame it on the vendor. I was made whole by amazon for the purchase, so I was not out anything. As for the flavor and value. It can't be beat. Will re-order.
