2: Where’s the best place to buy Keurig coffee?
The good news is that you can find Keurig coffee in more and more places across America. K-Cups are available from office coffee distributors, over the Internet, and in more and more retail stores.
The best place to buy Keurig coffee really depends on how many K-Cups you buy and how you want to balance convenience and purchase price. For home users, the Internet is still the most popular place to buy K-Cups, although many supermarkets are beginning to sell Keurig coffee.
In most large offices, the convenience of having a local office coffee service (OCS) distributor, who makes sure you have everything for serving Keurig-brewed coffee, is commonly the best solution. Small offices and businesses generally find the Internet or warehouse stores (like Costco) a great place to buy K-Cup coffee and tea.
K-Cups are sold in four different package sizes, so you’ll want to consider the number of K-Cups in each package as you compare prices. The chart below shows how the typical price/K-Cup compares by package size:
| Location | Package Size | Typical Price | Price/K-Cup |
| Warehouse Club | 108 K-Cups | $49.99 | $.46 |
| OCS Distributor* | 24 K-Cups | $10-13.00 | $.42-.54 |
| Internet Site | 24 K-Cups | $10-13.00 | $.42-.54 |
| Big Box Retailer** | 18 K-Cups | $9.99 | $.56 |
| Supermarket | 12 K-Cups | $6.49-7.49 | $.54-.64 |
* Some OCS distributors include use of a Keurig brewer as part of their K-Cup price.
** Stores like Macy’s, Target, or Bed, Bath & Beyond. On their Internet sites, these companies sell K-Cups in 18-pack boxes.
Most Internet sites offer free shipping when you order 4-6 boxes of K-Cups. Obviously, the price/K-Cup will be higher if you don’t order enough boxes to qualify for free shipping.
