Coffee pods are not cheap (but definitely cheaper than buying cafe coffee every day), so it’s very important to buy pods you not only like but genuinely love. Whether you have a Keurig, Nespresso, Ninja, or another machine, there are some fantastic options available for coffee-lovers. Obviously a pod can never match freshly-ground coffee but some come pretty close. Here are seven coffee pods that use high-quality coffee beans.
Nespresso
Nesspresso
Nespresso has a large variety of high quality coffee pods for machines like the Vertuo (the machine I currently use). “I’ve been buying these capsules for over two years, and they never fail to impress me. The coffee is always fresh and absolutely delicious, with a rich aroma that brightens my mornings. It’s also incredibly quick to make if you have the machine — in less than a minute you can enjoy a high-quality cup of coffee,” one Amazon shopper said.
Peets
Walmart
Peets coffee pods, like the Major Dickason’s Blend, are made with top-quality coffee and taste delicious. “Our kids got us on to Peets coffee over 3 years ago. This is our favorite coffee. Peets is three flavors of dark roast. General Dickens is our favorite however we’ll use any of the other two. They are all amazing! My husband says I should get royalties because I am always talking about it in the coffee aisle. It’s silly but it’s so good!” One Walmart shopper said.
Starbucks

Starbucks makes a variety of coffee pods that don’t break the bank and taste really good—for example the Espresso Roast is getting rave reviews. “This is my first time trying the espresso kcups and I’m hooked. It is a very flavorful espresso that tastes just like fresh brewed from freshly ground beans. I love making this iced or hot and adding some creamer and caramel syrup,” one customer said.

McCafé Premium Roast Coffee
Keurig
Did you know McDonald’s made coffee pods? The McCafé® Premium Roast Coffee pods are made from 100% Arabica coffee and it’s surprisingly good. “When I’m not working and stay home, I could still have my favorite McDonald’s coffee. Just add half a spoonful of sugar and it taste exactly like their coffee,” one customer said.
