beaniac Flavor Freak Madagascar Vanilla, Flavored Light Roast, Single Serve Compostable K Cup Coffee Pods, Organic Arabica Coffee with Natural Flavors, Keurig Brewer Compatible, 30 Count

Very good coffee.

This coffee is honestly some of the most delicious coffee I have ever had. Opening it, it was great to see the pods actually sealed in a protective bag to keep them fresh. Once I opened that bag, the vanilla fragrance was clear right away. It was so fragrant and delicious smelling. The pod does fit perfectly in a keurig. The coffee tastes as delicious as it smells, it's a nice light roast. The flavor is very nice, mellow but just delicious. Absolutely delicious. Them being better for the environment is a bonus.

Good vanilla flavor for medium roast. These cups fit my coffee pod holder perfectly. They have a nice vanilla flavor. Not too strong. Enjoy it hot or as a cold drink over ice and your favorite cream and sweetener. No bad aftertaste or bitterness detected. Overall, very good and enjoyable cup of coffee.

I recently tried Beaniac Flavor Freak Madagascar Vanilla Pods. The coffee pods come 30 to a box. The box contains two resealable bags that contain 15 pods each. The top of the pod has a thin film that is easily punctured by the needles on my coffee brewer. The bottom portion of the pod feels like soft coffee filter material that is made with plant-based materials. The pods contain no plastic and are 100% commercially compostable. The pods contain organic Arabica beans and is a light roast with natural flavors. It smells amazing from the second you open the bag until you take your first sip. They fit my coffee brewer perfectly and in a few mins, I had a delicious cup of fresh coffee with vanilla scents and flavor.

I love that this company actually listened to what people didn’t like about k cups and improved the product for our concerns and preferences. I stoped using the k cups because of the heated plastics. This is a compostable cup! The smell and taste of the coffee is great. Thank you for listening to your customers.

The beaniac Flavor Freak Madagascar Vanilla coffee works well in my Keurig and makes delicious coffee. (I realize the pod design is more environmentally friendly than typical Keurig pods, but the only drawback to these beaniac pods is that they don't fit into my countertop coffee pod carousel.)

This coffee has a definite vanilla flavor, and if you like vanilla, you'll enjoy this one. The pods work perfect in my Keurig and seem well built; I like the fact that they are compostable. The coffee itself is a light roast and overall gets 4 stars in my opinion.

These cups brew a premium cup of coffee that has a WONDERFUL AROMA and GREAT TASTE! This coffee is labeled as "LIGHT" but I found it to have a STRONG flavor RICH and BOLD. It has only a slight vanilla aroma and taste. In fact if it were not labeled as Madagascar Vanilla, I would probably not know it was vanilla flavored.The flavor is just what I would expect from a "medium" roast premium K-Cup. To me it is more of a MEDIUM roast than LIGHT. These pods work with K-Cup Brewing Systems. I have had occasional issues with my K-Cup brewer recognizing these pods as acceptable to work. When this happens I turn the pod a little to the left or right and eventually it works and brews as expected. I like that this coffee is ORGANIC and the flavoring NATURAL. I also appreciate that the pods have NO PLASTIC cups and are 100 % COMPOSTABLE. The pods have a FILTER and the coffee has NO BITTERNESS. The pods come in TWO RESEALABLE BAGS. The bags have a FOLD DOWN top with a wire tab to keep freshness in. Each bag contains coffee pods, so you get 30 pods in all. Even though the roast of this coffee is stronger than I anticipated and the vanilla flavor is only slight, these pods brew an excellent cup of coffee and I would purchase them again. They are a great way to start my morning!

I was given the “beaniac Flavor Freak Madagascar Vanilla Flavored K-cups” to try. My first observation is the packaging. I understand “going green” is the future but the fact that it is a mesh bottom and not a solid cup means that I can’t store it in my K-cup holder like other coffees so I had to find another place to store them. These Kups are also not sealed, so you have to store them in a ziplock bag to prevent them getting ruined by moisture. Would you leave your coffee container open to the air? Of course that’s a minor inconvenience in the grand scheme of saving the planet but it should still be noted. Keurig K-Cups have a special ink on them to prevent “unauthorized” or generic K-kups being used in their machines. Think of it as DRM for coffee. Due to the “eco” material used to cover the Kups, my Keurig had a hard time recognizing them. As such, they were rather difficult to use – maybe one in 4 would be recognized. I ended up cutting the foil top off one of my other brand k-kups and putting it on top of these beaniac ones for the machine to even use them. On to flavor or should I say lack of flavor. I like light roast coffee and I especially like flavored light roast, Vanilla or Cinnamon being my favorites. This had no flavor at all. It barely even had a coffee flavor. I used a Cinnamon creamer and no other sweeteners and that was the only thing I tasted. Is it possible that the creamer overshadowed the coffee’s flavor; yes, but if that is the case then it still speaks to the fact that the coffee’s original vanilla flavor is just too week to register. If you want a strong vanilla or even a light coffee flavor then this is definitely not the cup for you. Bottom line: while I appreciate what they are trying to do with their product packaging there are better more flavorful options out there.

The advertisement on the box clearly says "works with K-cup Brewing systems. This is not true. Immediately my Keurig coffee maker rejected it and the message on my display says "pod not compatible with Keurig ".
