What people say

  • Costa Rica (with milk) that I thought was pretty good!

    Source (opens in a new tab)
  • The Costa Rica for the Original Line last year (2019) was a good coffee, but was expensive last year. ... At $0.97 CDN a capsule, it's definitely worth getting a few sleeves. It's a special production process.
