Keurig's bright, light-roast morning cup: clean, low in bitterness and among the cheaper name-brand pods.

Green Mountain Breakfast Blend is a light-roast, Arabica K-Cup marketed as bright, crisp and clean, and it is certified Orthodox Union Kosher. It is one of Amazon's best-selling pods and one of Tasting Table's favorites in Green Mountain's lineup. It suits drinkers who want a gentle, non-bitter cup from a Keurig; fans of bold coffee will find it thin.

Best for

  • Keurig owners who want a mild morning cup
  • Offices and guest rooms
  • Drinkers sensitive to bitterness

What we like

  • Smooth light roast with very little bitterness
  • Widely available in 10 to 96 counts
  • Certified Orthodox Union Kosher
  • Decaf version available

Watch-outs

  • Thin for drinkers who like bold coffee
  • No origin details
  • Tasting Table calls the brand's coffee middle-of-the-road
