Many of these popular K-Cup flavors could be grouped under a few overarching categories, from breakfast blends to flavored coffees and everything in between. If you're in charge of ordering coffee and tea for the office, your coworkers will appreciate your efforts to include a variety of choices that span the following categories.
Breakfast Blends
Most workers who rely on caffeine are in the habit of downing coffee in the morning, so it's easy to see why breakfast blends such as Green Mountain Coffee Breakfast Blend and Diedrich Morning Edition Blend rank high on the list of favorites. These blends feature a combination of different beans to provide a well-rounded start to the day.
Light, Medium, and Dark Roasts
Many coffee drinkers have strong preferences when it comes to their favorite style of roast, so it's a good idea to keep a mixture of roasts on hand at all times.
Popular lighter-roast options include the Caribou Daybreak Morning Blend, Green Mountain Coffee Breakfast Blend, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Smooth, and Vermont Country Blend.
K-Cup flavors that fall under the "medium roast" category include the Barista Prima Colombia and House Blend; Eight O'Clock the Original; Green Mountain Coffee Antioxidant, Nantucket, and Our Blends; the Original Donut-Shop Coffee; Tully's Hawaiian Blend; and Wolfgang Puck Breakfast in Bed.
The dark roast category has the most options, including Barista Prima Italian and French Roasts; Diedrich French Roast Blend; Green Mountain Coffee Dark Magic, Lake and Lodge, and Sumatran Reserve; and Tully's Coffee French Roast.
Flavored Coffees
Flavored coffee has become increasingly popular. From Green Mountain Coffee's Toasted Marshmallow Mocha and French Vanilla, to Gloria Jean's Hazelnut and Butter Toffee and Folgers Caramel Drizzle, there are tons of delicious options. Team members who enjoy flavored coffees may find they have several favorites, so keeping a wide variety on hand can provide a nice pick-me-up in people's day.
Iced Coffees
When the summer months hit, many team members enjoy swapping out a hot brew for an iced cup. A number of options exist for people who enjoy their coffee iced, including Green Mountain Coffee French Vanilla Iced Coffee, Nantucket Blend Iced Coffee, and Sweet and Creamy Hazelnut and Regular Iced Coffees.
Decaf K-Cups
Team members who love the energy jolt provided by caffeine may not understand, but the truth is some people like the taste of coffee but don't love the jitters that come along with caffeinated varieties. That's why it's important to keep a selection of decaf options on hand. There are decaf choices to be found in all of the other categories listed here, from breakfast blends to flavored varieties.
Tea K-Cups & Other Unique Flavors
Even though it can feel like the whole world is addicted to coffee, there are probably members of your team who simply don't like it. From hot cocoa to chai lattes, hot apple cider, and the classic teas (lemon zinger and earl grey), K-Cup offers a variety of alternatives to coffee. These options can satisfy the non-coffee-drinkers and provide a tasty option for team members who have already had their caffeine quotient for the day but would like another warm beverage.
Finding the Right Mix for Your Office Fix
As you can see, there is a huge variety of K-Cup pod flavors. Choose a selection of a few favorites from each to cater to the team's individual tastes. Buy the team's favorite flavors in bulk to ensure you don't run out (plus save more on your supply!). As the seasons change, you may want to revisit the most popular options from previous orders. But, as a general rule of thumb, it's always good bet to keep the office kitchen well-stocked with the team's favorite K-Cups. After all, the happier your team (and the more energetic!), the more productive they will be.
