The Best Keurig K-Cups for People Who Want a Medium Roast Coffee

R. M. Dubuc
Keurig home brewer systems have changed the way many people now enjoy their morning coffee. Instead of brewing a pot of automatic drip, Keurig coffee system owners can now choose their own favorite Keurig K-Cup blend and brew it one K-Cup at a time. The first task for new Keurig owners is often to sample a variety of Keurig K-Cups to find the best match for their favorite brew of coffee.

Coffee lovers who favor a medium roast coffee, similar to those served at a local coffee shop, Dunkin Donuts, or Tim Hortons have a number of good choices with Keurig K-Cups. Former fans of the automatic drip coffee brands of Folgers or Maxwell House traditional blends will likely enjoy a medium roast Keurig K-Cup.

The following Keurig K-Cups are among the best for those who enjoy a medium roast coffee.

Donut Shop by Coffee People
Donut Shop coffee is a favorite for many Keurig coffee drinkers who like the fresh brewed taste of the local coffee shop coffee. This particular blend is well balanced and a true medium roast. It is flavorful enough to add cream or milk without losing the taste.

Donut House Coffee
Similar to Donut Shop coffee, this coffee offers a medium blend flavor with low acidity. Donut House coffee is smooth and full bodied enough for a morning wake up coffee. There is even a special pack of Keurig K-Cups available for those who want a mug-sized brew.

Caribou
Caribou coffee Keurig K-Cups are made by the same company with the Caribou coffee shops. If you enjoy regular Caribou coffee, this is a good choice in a medium roast blend.

Tullys
Traditional Tully's coffee is a great medium Keurig K-Cup selection. This blend offers both medium roast coffee fans and those bordering on a medium/stronger preference a good cup of coffee.

Folgers
One of the newest Keurig K-Cup varieties to come out this year at local grocery stores is the long-time favorite Folgers brand. Folgers now offers a traditional roast, as well as a few other blends, for use as Keurig K-Cups. This is an easy choice for anyone who enjoys regular home-brewed Folgers coffee. The medium roast traditional blend holds its flavor in the Keurig K-Cup form.

Additional Medium Roast Keurig K-Cup Options
There are a number of other brands of Keurig K-Cups which also offer a decent medium roast coffee. Many have their own creative name, such as Wolfgang Puck's Breakfast in Bed K-Cup. The key to discovering new medium blend Keurig K-Cups is to look for a medium roast notation in the K-Cup description. Any Keurig K-Cup which has a "bold" description is most likely better suited for those who like stronger coffee. Breakfast blends may alternatively be too weak for those looking for a medium roast Keurig K-Cup.

Green Mountain Coffee, Wolfgang Puck, Coffee People, and Timothy's brands offer other medium roast Keurig K-Cups worth a taste. If the coffee seems too strong for a medium roast flavor, try using the higher brew setting to dilute the strength if necessary.
