18 month shelf life on k cups before oxidation degrades to the extent it's considered stale. Still consumable for 3+ years past that, but continues to degrade. Haven't even tried/tested past that. I'd guess it to not be pleasant.
I've tried so many of these flavored k-cups and have never been satisfied. I don't take my coffee overly sweetened (maybe a half a packet of Splenda) but for some reason these types of k-cups are just far less satisfying than normal coffee.
The coffee used is usually not-great and the flavor "essencing" they throw in makes them smell amazing but taste like nothing.
And this is coming from someone who a.) likes bitter, mostly-black coffee and b.) enjoys La Croix "essenced" sparkling water. For what it's worth.

Definitely curious to try this. I'll give it a shot.
I'm thinking w/ most flavored coffee you still have to add your own sugar / sweetener, guessing it is the same for these. Noticed the reviews saying it was bitter, maybe they drank it black?

it's kcups. i'd rather eat the cardboard. how long does that stale ground coffee sit on the shelves for? obviously they dont put a roasted date on them for a reason.
