Not looking for the heart-stopping stuff with a skull on the front-just a decent tasting robusta coffee. ---

My office staff prefers Peet’s. I agree it’s pretty good. ---

These [pods](https://www.amazon.com/Abbantia-Coffee-Roast-K-Cups-Robusta/dp/B07NDNBR7P) claim to be made from Robusta beans. That said, what I would recommend is switching to an [Aeropress](https://aeropress.com/buy-aeropress-now/) machine. It’s almost as fast as a Keurig and makes a far superior cup of coffee. ---

We use any coffee and re-usable pods. Do a search for “keurig reusable pods” then you can use whatever coffee you can find. Or get the beans and grind your own. ---

Sorry, I am not that much of a coffee aficionado. My coffee of choice is Seattle Best. And I am not sure of the Bean. ---

Robusta is that crap foldgers type coffee, I think they make k-cups, but here is one: [Amazon.com](https://www.amazon.com/Abbantia-Coffee-Roast-K-Cups-Robusta/dp/B07NDNBR7P) ---

Folgers is a blend of arabica and robusta.
