McCafe Cafe de Olla K-Cup Coffee Pods, Dark Roast, 60 Count
Product description
For Keurig users looking for a flavored dark roast, McCafe Cafe de Olla comes in genuine K-Cup pods for single-serve brewing.
Its flavor profile draws on cinnamon aroma and caramel notes of piloncillo, making it distinct from a plain dark roast.
The pack contains 60 pods, divided into six packs of 10. The suggested brew setting is 8 oz, with sugar added to taste if desired.
Everyday use
These pods are designed for a quick single cup in a Keurig single-serve coffee maker. That format suits a household where people want to brew individually, or a coffee drinker who prefers flavored coffee without preparing a full pot. The dark roast is caffeinated and made with Arabica beans. For the maker’s suggested preparation, use the 8 oz setting, sugar is optional and can be adjusted to taste.
The intended character is more specific than simply “spiced coffee”: the product description pairs cinnamon aroma with piloncillo-like caramel flavor. How much of that profile comes through may depend on personal taste. Buyer feedback reflects that variation: some praise the coffee and enjoy the flavor, while others describe it as bitter or say the cinnamon tastes artificial, opinions also differ on how noticeable the spice is. Those mixed impressions make this a more personal choice than an unflavored everyday roast.
Why it’s worth it
The main reason to choose Cafe de Olla is its flavored-coffee profile in a familiar pod format. It gives Keurig owners a way to try a cinnamon-and-caramel-inspired cup without switching to a different brewing setup. It’s a great fit if you already enjoy flavored dark roasts and want single-serve portions. If you usually prefer a straightforward coffee taste, an unflavored pod may be a closer match.
McCafe says its coffee is 100% Responsibly Sourced, and the pods are described as recyclable after peeling and emptying. That recycling option is not available in many communities, so local rules matter. Some buyers also criticize the product description or imagery as misleading, reading the stated flavor and pack details is a more reliable way to decide whether it suits your preferences.

Buying verdict
Choose this pack if you want a caffeinated, flavored dark roast in Keurig-compatible single-serve pods and the cinnamon-and-caramel direction appeals to you. The 60-count format provides multiple cups without changing brewing methods. Not the best choice if you specifically want an unflavored coffee or expect a consistently pronounced cinnamon taste: reported impressions vary, and the product’s own flavor description is a better guide than assuming every cup will taste strongly spiced.
