We decided to try a 12 pack of each K-Cup pod. So 16 dozen should give enough to get some feedback from the coffee drinkers. The biggest thing that jumps out at one when talking pods is that there are so few options. Keurig has around 200 options including teas, cocoa, and other.
Coffee is a challenge for non coffee drinkers to figure out. We basically make a lot of choices available and then judge based on usage by our guests. What I'm talking about here is for both home and boat.
I know to some traditionalists this may be heresy but we only use pods. Our family and friends have a wide variety of preferences and having choices outweighs any preferred coffee. We have some who don't want anything fancy, just basic coffees, then the Starbucks only fans, then some who like to try everything different, and then the tea drinkers. Less than half of our typical groups of people drink coffee.
Those under 50 are very much traditionalists when it comes to coffee and all seem to drink coffee. Only about a quarter of those under 35 drink coffee and of those who do, none of them drink traditional coffee, all going for different flavors. Among the traditionalists, I've been surprised how Dunkin Donuts is the overwhelming favorite. Among the younger coffee drinkers, it's Starbucks.
