No idea where they where recycled. All I know is there was a bin, with a sign, that said recycle Flavia packets here. This was before Calgary had curbside recycling. I think they went back to the supplier for recycling.

I never said that there was a retailer that sold Flavia. All I said was they had a cheaper machine on their website. There is nothing stopping someone from ordering one for those home.

Any recommended online sources for K-Cups?

A friend wants to order from these guys: http://buykeurigcoffee.com/keurigkcups1.html but I don't know anything about them.

I sometimes buy from Van Houtte. They offer free shipping on orders of $45 or more and they also have a rewards program you can join for free. I think it gives you 10% off of your order.

Sometimes I buy directly from keurig.com when they run a special. Got 4 boxes of 24 cups of the Donut Shop brand for $40 with free shipping. Otherwise I buy them at Costco.

I often buy from Keurig.com. If you wait for their coupon codes, they can be a pretty good deal, and they have great selection.

apparently costco now has its own medium blend k-cup at a resonable 50c per cup

MarcP · 2013-04-10, 04:14 PM

I've seen Timothy's and Van Houtte at Costco, but never their own brand. Something new?

TorontoColin · 2013-04-10, 04:49 PM

It's actualy a light blend: Kirkland Breakfast Blend. It's actually Green Mountain coffe, and boxes of 100 are $40.

In the US, Costco is also carrying a Kirkland Pacific Bold. I'm hoping they bring that up here too.

Costco also carries Starbucks K cups.

A friend tried the Kirkland Signature Breakfast Blend, said it was very weak and were not impressed. They usually like a medium.

TorontoColin · 2013-04-11, 05:51 PM

It is definitely weak. I'm not a fan, but I like stronger coffee. I do find it's serviceable as a base for lattes and other frothed milk drinks, and the price can't be beat.

Like I said though, I'm really hoping for the Pacific Bold.

tried the Kirkland as well at Costco when they were giving sample as 100cups/$40 but found bad and I'm not even a fan of strong coffee.

Staying with the medium Van Houtte.
