Review on Francisco OneCup Compatible Process Decaffeinated by Ben Walls

Revainrating 1 out of 5

This is a sludge maker

There are few ways to brew highly flavored decaffeinated coffee. So I figured it might be worth a try. Maybe the whole environmental emphasis should make me suspicious, but that shouldn't matter when it comes to quality and taste. I bought a small order of K-Cup capsules to use in the Keurig 2.0.1 machine. The top of the container is made of a hard, thick, plastic-like material. The bottom of the container below the rim is made of fabric rather than the rigid material used by other brands. In the few I've used so far, it holds thick but not sludge. There is an annoying layer of sediment at the bottom of every cup of coffee.2. While other brands of pods fit directly into the machine, these don't. Due to the thick design of the top edge, you need to manipulate it to fit the socket.3. The taste of brewed coffee is the most ordinary. He's not mad. But any desired function is defeated by the layer of silt at the bottom of the cup. Having used a few pods I just don't think it's worth compounding things further. If, as the description says, "We're so confident you'll love it that we offer a satisfaction guarantee," I'd appreciate a refund.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Requires an outlet
