The 10 Best Coffee Products to Buy at Costco

American shoppers love stocking up on groceries and household essentials at Costco. The warehouse gives out free samples, debuts new products, and has some of the best deals around. Americans also love coffee. Nearly two-thirds of Americans drink coffee on a daily basis. There’s an endless combination of ways to acquire, make, and prepare coffee. While some coffee rituals involve a drive thru, many java drinkers still elect to brew their own coffee. 

It’s significantly more affordable to make your own coffee, but buying your coffee products at Costco can help you save even more. Costco is one of the best places to restock your coffee stash. Buying coffee in bulk saves you a pretty penny, but the warehouse chain is also notorious for taking variety and quality seriously, so there’s something for every kind of coffee enthusiast. Read on for a list of the best coffee products to buy at Costco during your next visit.

Jose’s Organic French Roast Coffee, Dark Roast, Whole Bean

Coffee experts will be the first to tell you—the freshest cup of coffee is made from whole beans. Coffee grounds take the cake for convenience, but they lose freshness faster. If you have a coffee grinder—or you’ve been thinking about getting one—Jose’s Organic French Roast is the bean to get. While it’s roasted in the United States, the process follows European tradition, so these beans don’t have that charred taste that some dark roast beans might have. The hefty 3-pound bag contains 100 percent Arabica coffee beans (aka the gold standard), and they’re organic and kosher. 

Tim Hortons Coffee Original Blend K-Cup Pod

Single-serve coffee makers changed the game. Gone are the days where you have to brew a full pot, knowing most of it would go to waste. Coffee pods are also convenient for households with multiple coffee drinkers who have different preferences. However, those pods can be pricey. Costco sells a variety of coffee pods, but this massive box of 110 K-Cups will last you more than a month (assuming you drink up to three cups of coffee per day). They’re compatible with all Keurig coffee makers, and the medium roast is the most popular among coffee drinkers.

Kirkland Signature 100% Colombian Coffee, Dark Roast

Home to low-priced goods in bulk, Costco is designed to save you money. But we’ve all been surprised at the register to see how quickly it adds up. One hack for lowering your Costco bill is to stick to the chain’s private label, Kirkland Signature. And yes, it includes several coffee products, including this 3-pound tin of dark roast coffee grounds. It’s finely ground, which saves you time, and hails from Colombia, one of the top coffee capitals in the world. This particular coffee product is consistently highly rated, and it’s one of the best sellers in Costco’s coffee aisles. If you don’t like to grind your own beans and love a bold cup of coffee, this is one item to check out.

Peet’s Coffee Nespresso Compatible Aluminum Capsules

Billions of Nespresso capsules are sold each year, so needless to say, the brand is pretty popular. Brewing your own espresso is convenient, tasty, and more affordable than a daily trip to the coffee shop, but those pods can run you more than $1 each. With the rising demand, they can be difficult to track down, too. Costco’s inventory is constantly changing, so if you can’t find Nespresso pods in the warehouse, try these pods by Peet’s Coffee. They’re nearly half the price, and they’re compatible with Nespresso machines. The beans themselves are 100 percent Arabica (of course), and the cost-effective 80-pack includes several intensities of espresso.

San Francisco Bay Decaf French Roast Whole Bean Coffee

Ever get the caffeine jitters? You might have exceeded the recommended maximum of 400 milligrams (mg) of caffeine daily. A typical cup of coffee contains just shy of 100 mg of caffeine, so that’s about a four cup allowance per day (not including other beverages like soda, energy drinks, and tea). However, some types of coffee, such as espresso, are much more concentrated in the caffeine department.

When you want the taste and routine of savoring coffee without the caffeine, decaf’s the kind for you. Costco carries this decaf coffee, which contains a whopping four pounds of decaf Arabica beans. The beans are roasted in the United States, and they’re decaffeinated using a Swiss water process, which is considered a healthier alternative to chemically decaffeinated beans. Water-processed decaf coffee often comes at a premium price, but Costco always comes through with an opportunity to save.

Folgers Classic Roast Ground Coffee, Medium

Folgers has been a household name for decades. If you’ve been buying your Folgers coffee at regular grocery stores, this is your sign to get a Costco membership. Costco carries this large canister of Folgers that yields up to 400 cups of joe, and it’s likely a lot cheaper than what you’d typically pay elsewhere. Costco also carries it in an instant coffee version.

Starbucks Classic Roasts Variety Pack K-Cup Pod

Trying new coffee varieties adds some excitement to your daily caffeine ritual, and this Starbucks variety pack is the perfect way to try all the different roasts. It’s got light, medium, and dark roasts, which vary in taste and caffeine level. Contrary to what you might think, light roast coffee is mild in flavor but high in caffeine. On the other end of the spectrum, dark roast coffee provides less caffeine but a fuller flavor. Medium roast, the most popular kind, falls right in the middle. This is an affordable and fun way to give them all a go and figure out your sweet spot.

Kirkland Signature Colombian Cold Brew Coffee

When you think of coffee, you might think of extracting the coffee with hot water. That’s one way to do it, but you can also use cold water to make coffee. Cold brew coffee is made by infusing coffee grounds in cold or room temperature water for 12 or more hours. It’s considered a smoother type of coffee, and one best enjoyed cold, though you can also warm it up. Costco sells this cold brew coffee under its private label. It’s a pack of 12 cans, each containing 11 ounces of Colombian cold brew coffee. Each serving is pricier than other options, but making cold brew is a laborious process. Costco does the work for you, so you can treat yourself.

Land O Lake’s Mini Moos Half & Half Liquid Creamer

How you like your coffee is personal. Sweeten it with sugar, add a splash of creamer, or take it black—it’s up to you. If you want to cut the bitterness without added sugar, these single creamers get the job done. They’re made with milk and cream, and they’re naturally sugar-free. Oh, and a box contains 192 of them, so they’ll last you a while. Pop ‘em in your pantry where they’ll stay shelf stable until you need one (or five).

Hamilton Beach FlexBrew 2-Way Single Serve Coffee Maker

With a cart full of coffee, you’ll need a way to make it. This coffee maker allows you to brew coffee the traditional way, but it has a surprising feature that makes it extremely versatile. The machine also has a spot for single cups of coffee, and it’s compatible with K-Cups. Whether you grind your own beans, use coffee grounds, or brew straight from a coffee pod, this machine does it all. It has a programmable timer, so you can schedule it the night before, and it shuts off automatically after two hours.
