Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: This is truely excellent! Comment: This is also my favorite coffee for my Keurig. However, since the company is Canadian the current state of the dollar is hurting us a bit. I noticed on the Van Houtte web site this morning (3-17) that the price of the 25 count box has gone up to $15.75. I was hoping to see the 25 count boxes here on Amazon, as well as a wider choice of the Van Houtte blends. Maybe Amazon's buying clout can keep the price affordable for those of us who enjoy the Van Houtte coffee blends... Customer Rating: Summary: Their best coffee, and now, available at the best price Comment: This is my favorite K-cup coffee for my Keurig. However, I like the idea of buying my k-cups at $20 for 2 boxes of 25 (50 k-cups totalling 40 cents for each cup). If you buy this box at $7.99 for 18 k-cups, you're paying about 44 cents per cup. That's not bad but you still have to pay for shipping costs no matter how big you make your order.
I guess we might have to write to Van Houtte Coffees directly and ask them why this isn't available at $20 for 2 boxes of 25. (UPDATE: Now it's about $23.00) We should also ask Van Houtte why other distributors are selling Van Houtte coffees at a lower cost than they themselves, the original source company.
Just like, if you own a Honda. You're better off buying Honda parts from an outside source instead of a Honda parts and service source directly. Honda sells their own parts at an unfair, unreasonable, non-competative mark-up price.
So, as for our favorite K-cups, most of those initial K-cup distributors charge more than other outside sources. The initial price per k-cup through those original source distributors are averaging about 55 cents per K-cup. Even if they have free shipping on larger orders that's still 55 cents per cup minimum.
Stick with Amazon though for the best price. Check and make sure you can get free shipping too. We can find better prices. Believe me. Customer Rating: Summary: Super coffee, but sole in the 18 vs. 25 count box Comment: As others have stated, this is an EXCELLENT bold, dark-roast coffee. Flavor that keeps on giving.
Unfortunately, Amazon and others only sell this in the 18-count box vs. the 25-count boxes of other flavors. That makes it much more expensive than competing brands.
