Morning Boost and Delightful Coffee Blend
on January 25, 2024
Posted by: K.C.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In comparison to my usual Starbucks choice Pick Me Up Provisions Breakfast Blend Light Roast blend stands out. While labeled as "Breakfast Blend " the versatility of its flavor profile makes it suitable to drink throughout the day. The taste is robust yet not overpowering striking a balance that suits both breakfast and afternoon indulgences. I experimented with the coffee both black and with a splash of milk. Without milk it offers a pleasant surprise yet with the addition of milk the experience is elevated. The inherent natural sweetness of the coffee is complimented by the milk. The convenience of K-cups is undeniable as they are easy to prepare on busy mornings. Personally I don't like they are single-use and feel a bit wasteful. Quality is a definitive strength of this blend as evidenced by its rich taste and distinctive flavor. However it is imperative to note a potential downside: the caffeine content. While providing the desired energy boost its potency may induce a sense of jitteriness particularly for those sensitive to higher caffeine concentrations. Overall Pick Me Up Provisions Breakfast Blend Light Roast emerges as a commendable choice. Its superior flavor effortless preparation and quality make it a noteworthy option though caution is advised for those who may be more sensitive to caffeine.

Columbian medium roast
on January 25, 2024
Posted by: Phoebe
from Santa Ana
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The medium roast coffee pods had good flavor and I would buy them again. However the roast was on the lighter side and not as robust tasting compared to other name brand coffee. This coffee is more suitable for those who prefer a lighter medium roast and less robust flavor with a smoth finish. It stayed true to its description especially for someone who has experienced coffee in Columbia. I tried using the pods in both a Keurig machine and a French press and the flavor was pretty similar. Overall I enjoyed these coffee pods and appreciated the lighter taste and convenience of the K cups. I appreciate the opportunity in trying these K cups part of Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Great Coffee in a Convenient Package
on January 25, 2024

from Novi
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very impressed with this blend of coffee - it tasted great right out of my Keurig without any added sugar or cream. The flavor was light and had a little bit of a nutty hint to it. I typically drink a darker roast but will be adding this to my regular rotation going forward. We also enjoyed the packing and design of the Kcups - a nice fun package to start the morning with and looks great in my spinning Kcup holder!

A Great Coffee Pod for Your Afternoon Caffeine Fix
on January 25, 2024
Posted by: P.F.
from Apex
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I typically do not purchase coffee pods for my single use coffee maker but the Pick Me Up Provisions coffee pods just changed my mind. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this coffee. I sampled the Colombian Blend Medium Roast and immediately noticed that there was no bitter taste and no after taste. Initially I made an 8-ounce cup per the directions on the box. While this was good I do prefer my coffee a bit stronger so my subsequent cups have been made using 6 ounces of water. When brewed this coffee has a nice dark color rich aroma and robust flavor. When brewed with 6 ounces of water it has a darker roast taste. If I don't want as strong a cup of coffee I can just brew with a little more water. For me this makes the perfect cup of coffee even after adding a little cream and sugar! The pods are easy to recycle; I tear off the lid put the grounds in my compost container and recycle the rest. Not only am I not cluttering up a landfill but my vegetable garden also benefits as well. The box is made from recycled materials as well. I look forward to trying other roasts from Pick Me Up Provisions.

Pick Me Up Provisions French Blend Dark Roast
on January 25, 2024
Posted by: Doug
from Mitchell
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This new k-cup brew satisfied my morning coffee cravings. It has a true dark roast punch and a full long finish to the throat. That is if you discover the secret of the best ratio of water. I have a Keurig brewer that has four water setting. 6 8 10 and 12 ounces. I tried all four settings. The clear best choice is 8 ounces. 12 ounces diluted the flavor and introduced a subdued finish. 6 oz. was of course strong but seemed too small of a serving for morning breakout! I usually use a 12 oz mug but surprisingly the 8 oz seemed just as satisfying due to the good traits of this roast.

Solid Coffee No Complaints
on January 25, 2024
Posted by: Tom S
from Williamsburg
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall I found the Pick Me Up Provisions to be a very solid coffee. In my time using K-Cups I have found some to be pretty hit or miss. However after using Pick Me Up multiple mornings in a row I was impressed by the consistency of flavor and the strength of the coffee. When it came to flavor the breakfast blend was a hit for me. I tend to gravitate towards lighter blends of coffee and this being a light blend was right up my alley. While I enjoy coffee everyday it pretty much always has to have cream and some sort of flavoring. I found it rather easy to sip this coffee without anything in it which is not common for me. Another positive of this K-Cup and this is big for me is was the almost zero grounds I found in the coffee after use. There was a couple of instances where there was a tiny bit of grounds at the bottom but it didn't happen often. I've had an issue with other company K-Cups having so many grounds it's undrinkable but this was not a problem for Pick Me Up. I also wanted to note that I will sometimes run K-Cups multiple times. So while my coffee maker will only allow me to use a K-Cup for up to 12 oz of coffee. I felt like I could push this up to 18 oz (so ran it for a 12 and a 6) and still found the flavor to be consistent and didn't really fall off in strength. So with all this praise why just a 4-Star review? While the coffee was solid I didn't find any sort of "wow" factor to it. There was nothing that blew me away. Also I know in the coffee space there are people that are better at vetting quality and I personally am not a super picky person. So without the "wow" factor I didn't feel like I could leave a 5-star in good faith. Overall Pick Me Up was a very solid coffee that I really enjoyed. If I saw it again I would look to grab it because it's been a pleasant coffee to have in the morning. While I may not go out of my way to brag about it to other people if K-Cups or coffee suggestions came up in conversation I would absolutely recommend it to someone who was looking to try something different.

Perfect morning coffee
on January 25, 2024
Posted by: A.K.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m a huge coffee drinker and typically go for iced but like a hot coffee in the morning. These kcups had a great taste something I find is difficult with kcups for some reason. I prefer light roast and this was the perfect balance for me. It tasted honestly like a coffee from a coffee shop! I’d definitely recommend this brand and flavor to others!

Delicious

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these K-cups!! The French Roast flavor is delicious. It is smooth and strong without being bitter. It also smells amazing! I love the perforated tear away opening that allows the box to sit upright for easy dispensing. It fits perfectly in my coffee nook and keeps things looking organized. Definitely found a new morning pick me up!
