I know what you are thinking. Not another guy who thinks .41 cents a cup is a good deal on K-Cups. However, for those of you who think that, you are wrong...
Amazon just started selling the 80 count of San Francisco Bay Coffee, $33 for 80 pods (.41 cents). The Fogchaser is absolutely the best coffee that I've tasted on my Kuerig (Also tried the french roast that I did not find to be as good). I strongly recommend this for those of you who like good coffee. Of course, Free Super Saver shipping and no tax apply.
Just one caveat. These are a different type of pod and others have complained of spoilage. I suggest keeping them in an air tight package.

I bought some of these a few months ago and ended up throwing them away. Besides not being blown away by the flavor, they wont fit in a k-cup rack and having to keep them in a ziploc in the fridge just didnt quite match up with the convenience of the keurig brewer. If I want to have to mess with coffee and have it go bad on me in 2 weeks, I'd just go back to a regular coffee maker @10c a cup.
The "different type of pod" means that these have a plastic ring and foil top, and a baggie full of coffee thats open to the air on the bottom.

Your experience is certainly different than mine, as are your tastes in coffee. However, your experience may be based on your choice to store your coffee "in the fridge". This will kill your coffee.
No Amazon ratings on the larger pack, but smaller box is here. Positive reviews.

BJs in Flemington, NJ had a box of 80 Rainforrest blend for $27.99. Box had 10 bags of 8 cups. Good coffee at a great price.

Haven't liked the ones I've tried from Amazon, but today at Costco in Bloomingdale IL saw they have a box, presumably 80. for $25.xx. The flavor was French Roast. I didn't bother, but if someone actually likes it the price is right.

Here's some guidance: http://www.ncausa.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=70The article says storing your "daily" coffee in the frig is bad for a particular reason, moisture. Taking it in and out daily adds room temperature air to the coffee package package. The air include moisture that in turn will condense at the cooler temperatures in the refrigerator. As the link you included points out, it's "contact with moisture" that causes the coffee to deteriorate, not just being in the frig. An unopened package should be fine in the frig until you're ready to start using it. Same would go for extra K-cups, as long as you don't take them all out of the frig every time you want one.
Sklar's description of keeping the K-cups in a ziploc would be a problem though. The bag would have warmer air let in every time he opened it for a new K-cup, but then the moisture would have no where to go as the air cools down in the frig.
I'm not claiming the coffee will be better in the frig than in just a sealed, opaque vessel in a cool location like the article recommends. It should still be better in the frig undisturbed than just sitting exposed on the counter. Consider the last section of the article when it recommends leaving coffee undisturbed in the freezer. It's not the cold the bothers the coffee, it repeated exposure to air and moisture, so with proper use, the frig would be fine.

These are $28.05 with S&S... $0.35 per K-Cup... I've tried the Fog Chaser (which is currently OOS), and I liked it. They ship 8 to a sealed bag. No problem using them before they go stale.

These are not "K-cups." They are pods made for use in Keurig machines. I find the title misleading. I am quite sure that "K-cup" is a registered trademark.

I think your trademark comment is true. But I've used them. They work like a k-cup. They work in k-cup coffee makers. To me it doesn't matter that it's not a traditional k-cup. dougef said: These are not "K-cups." They are pods made for use in Keurig machines. I find the title misleading.
