Coffee Pods, Coastal Blend, Single Serve (Pack of 100) (Packaging May Vary)

Caza Trail is the Best K-Cup Value on Amazon and Coastal Blend is the Best Flavor.It's unfortunate that Amazon lumps all Caza Trail reviews together so if you are looking for reviews on a particular flavor you have to do a lot of digging. We have now tried 4 of the flavors that are available as 100 ct packs, which are the only ones we buy because of the price per ct. My wife and I agree (not always the case) that our preference is Coastal Blend > Kona Blend > Medium Roast Bold >> Dark Roast. We haven't tried Donut Shop or Breakfast Blend because we rarely prefer competing brands with those flavors. Please note that we usually use some dairy in our coffee and we prefer a blend that stands up to that, preferably with some additional flavor cutting through. I think the Dark Roast probably works for people who only drink coffee black or who like a really mild blend. The Dark Roast has no bitterness, which could be a good thing for black coffee but it means it is overwhelmed even by 2% milk (we like whole milk or half and half, but will go with 2% in a pinch).However you take your coffee, the Medium Roast is probably a good flavor to start with. It's definitely middle of the road and the reference to Newman's own is good, although I would say Caza Trail is better. Coastal blend has the same body as Medium Roast but with additional flavor that we find really appealing. I drink from large mugs and often and up mixing caffeinated and decaffeinated coffees. I find both the Coastal and Medium Roast blend well with each other and with other coffees I like. For me, that's the difference between the Coastal and Kona blends. Both have that distinctive extra flavor, but the Kona is more of a light aromatic acidity that while distinctive, doesn't really blend well with other coffees I like. If you only drink one flavor at a time, the Kona would be fine.Which brings me to the reason that Caza Trail is the Best K-Cup on Amazon. It's the only reasonably priced conventional K-Cup that has both good flavor and enough coffee per K-Cup to make a strong 12 oz coffee. Most Keurig coffee makers have a choice of sizes. Most often that works out to 6 oz, 8 oz, and 10 oz. I find that many K-cups make a strong enough small cup, but really can't go beyond the 8 oz size. All of the Green Mtn coffees not labeled "Bold" are essentially that way. But the ones they label as "Bold" or "Extra Bold" have more coffee per K-Cup. ALL of the Caza Trail Coffee's would be labeled as "Extra Bold" under this system. There is definitely the same amount of coffee in all of them, even though only the Medium Roast has Bold in the name. (That's so you know to compare it to Newman's Own, I think.)So why do I say you get a 12oz cup not a 10 oz cup. Well, try it yourself. if your machine has three settings, make a comparison between a cup made with the largest setting (10 oz) versus one made by using the small (6 oz) setting twice. You'll see that giving the grounds more time to soak in the water from the first small shot ends up providing extra non-bitter flavor for the second shot. It's the same reason that pour-over (manual) Malita coffee makers have you wet the grounds, pause, and then continue to pour your hot water. My experience is that 2, 6 oz shots produces both a larger AND a better tasting cup than a single 10 shot.Finally I say that Caza Trail is the best "conventional" K-Cup on Amazon because in terms of flavor and price, the San Francisco Bay coffees, particularly the Fog Cutter and French Roast, are just as good WHEN THEY ARE FRESH. My problem with the eco-friendly packaging of the SFB coffee is that I love variety and I just can't seal the bags long enough to keep the SFB coffee fresh. I know I should love creating less landfill waste (actually I burn the SFB cups so it's basically zero land fill waste) and I would if I was willing to drink one flavor at a time (and I could get my wife to do the same). It could be quibbled that SFB also has less coffee per k-Cup and so is more like a good regular than a good bold coffee. That's true, but I would still go with 8 oz cups of SFB over 12 oz cups of CT if they were all as good as they are when you first open the bag (so fresh). But for me the lack of shelf life makes it not even close. Caza Trail is better.

I'm not one to leave mass reviews for all the products I order. But when I'm especially impressed (or disappointed) in an item, I like to take the time to pass on my thoughts.In the case of this Caza Colombian coffee, I am especially impressed! I just made my first cup, and by halfway through I knew I wanted to spread the news!I love coffee...always have. Any brew I drink is always black/no sugar. I'm a retired police officer, and years ago when I worked late-watch, I consumed some terrible coffee (think convenience-type store where coffee has been on the burner for hours!). My point is, all these years of drinking black/no sugar coffee doesn't necessarily make me an expert, but it does provide me with a massive database of tastes for comparison's sake.This Caza Colombian is easily in the top 5, maybe top 3 coffees I've had (right up there with Starbuck's Pike Place and Gevalia Whole Bean Colombian...right after being freshly ground).My wife and I drink a lot of coffee (especially on weekends), and for years we resisted getting a K-cup machine, thinking it wouldn't be as cost-effective as our typical whole-pot approach. We recently ordered a Hamilton Beach Flex Brew here on Amazon, and love the machine! (But that's a story for another review.) Since then, we've run the gambit of different flavored coffees and blends, but our typical go-to brew has always been a good Colombian. (For comparisons-sake, when making full pots, our fave whole-bean Colombian is that Gevalia mentioned above, and for ground coffee we like Maxwell House Colombian.)After discovering the pleasure of being able to mix and match our brews from cup to cup, we're definitely hooked on the K-cup method! As a result, the quest for the best-tasting, yet cost-effective cups began. That's what led me to pull the trigger on these Caza cups. The reviews were great, but I was still a bit leery of potentially being stuck with 100 cups if we didn't like them. Considering the fantastic price, the risk was worth it.Wow, what a find!! The gamble paid off big time! Other reviews mentioned the quantity per cup, which was another deciding factor, as my wife drinks her brew with cream/sugar, and we both typically use large mugs or travel cups. So some other lighter-filled cups end up a bit on the weak side, even for me with nothing added.Not the case with these Cazas! I'm drinking out of a 13 oz. mug (filled to about 12 oz.) now, and the taste is very rich, not watered down at all. The aroma while brewing is what first caught my attention. Like any decent coffee, the aroma is one of the first indications of a good brew!The body of this coffee is what I'd call a "medium". A good dark brown color, instant rich taste on the first sip, no "acidic toungue-feel", and absolutely no bitter aftertaste. The sip finishes as smooth as it starts! (Again, I don't consider myself a coffee-snob, but just trying to convey in words how pleasant a brew this stuff really is!)Bottom line? If you like a good, smooth Colombian coffee that is perfectly balanced black/no sugar, but still has enough strength to absorb some creamer without becoming too weak, or brew a larger-than-typical mug or travel mug while maintaining all its flavor, this coffee is for you!We will definitely be ordering more of this, as the 100 cups we just took delivery on will surely go quickly!

I really enjoy this very smooth great tasting coffee. When I started my subscription, it was about $46/100 K-cups. However that price is now nearly doubled! I had to cancel my subscription. I'm not spending over $75 for the same coffee!

I bought Caza Trail for a very long time and price remained consistently affordable. Then when the economy started heading south this brand went up (in my opinion substantially for a one time shot there was no easing into it) and so I tried multiple brands trying to find something that actually tasted like coffee not styrofoam. No Luck. I even STOPPED all coffee! I began drinking tea and that didn't last long and so reluctantly, I went back to Caza Trail and.... finally I feel like I am back home. So long as prices stay reasonable, I'll stop right here on the Caza Trail.

I've been searching endlessly for a clean coffee taste. I'm quite sensitive to tastes and I want a coffee that is rich, bold, and tastes like coffee! This coffee checks those boxes!

I just cancelled the subscription to this. It used to be my favorite coffee. It had that rich velvety flavor, even better than Starbucks. Has been ordering for year. This last shipment that I got in July is horrible. It tasted like muddy water. Just as if the k-cup has been used already and is being re-used. Almost every day I have to try 3-4 k-cups to find the one that tastes ok. So, it's about 1 out 4-5 k-cups that tastes ok
