I know a lot of folks truly love their Keurig coffeemakers, but then seem to spend all of their free time chasing good deals on the K-cups. So I try to remember to be on the lookout for anything that comes in under about $.40/cup.
Right now Amazon has the 80-count Fog Chaser K-cups available for $33 shipped, or just $31.35 when you purchase via Subscribe & Save (which comes out to just $.39/cup).
Ratings are overwhelmingly positive, but do note that these aren’t “regular” K-cups—the bottoms are exposed filters rather than plastic. Personally, I like that there’s less waste, but if you have a fancy-dancy K-cup holder, these will not fit in it (though they will work in your machine just fine).
I found out from a friend, that the patent on K-cups expire this fall sometime, and the prices will be coming WAY down because of more competition! Yay! There will be many more choices out there. For now I have been using my reusable one and I’m holding out for the cheaper ones.
A little over a month ago I bought these and I really like them. They’re a little on the stronger side, but from what I’ve heard the Breakfast Blend (also available in an 80 pack for the same price) is pretty close to the Green Mountain Breakfast Blend, so I might give those a try next. They’re a good price and I love having less waste.
