Our Best-Selling Blend. In a Pod.
Rogue Traveler is the coffee that started it all for thousands of Fork in the Road customers, the blend that converted drip drinkers into specialty coffee enthusiasts, that became the go-to for households that needed one coffee everyone could agree on, and that consistently tops our best-seller list month after month.
Now it is available in a Keurig-compatible single-use cup. Same specialty grade blend. Same dynamic combination of dark and medium roast beans. Same cocoa, caramel, and vanilla. Just in a format that works in your Keurig without any grinding, measuring, or cleanup.
What does Rogue Traveler taste like?
It tastes like a really good cup of coffee. Rich cocoa, smooth caramel, and a hint of vanilla with a slightly sweet, full-bodied finish and a bold aroma that fills the room. Not too dark, not too light, the kind of balanced, crowd-pleasing cup that works for every palate in the household. If you have been looking for a single-serve pod that actually tastes like specialty coffee, this is it.
The Blend — Dark and Medium Roast Combined
Most coffee blends are roasted to a single roast level and then combined. Rogue Traveler takes a different approach. We blend dark roast and medium roast beans after roasting, allowing each component to develop its full potential before being combined. The result is a cup with more complexity and character than a single-roast blend can achieve.
Why blend dark and medium roast?
A pure dark roast can be bold but one-dimensional, all intensity with little nuance. A pure medium roast can be balanced but lacks the depth and presence that make a cup feel satisfying. Blending the two gives you the boldness of dark roast and the balance of medium roast in the same cup. Rogue Traveler is designed to be the coffee that satisfies everyone, the person who wants a strong morning coffee and the person who wants something smooth and approachable. It delivers both.
How to Brew Rogue Traveler Single Use Cups
Oddly enough, we recommend not using most coffee brewers for single-use cups. The single use cup makes it a bit difficult in a French press or espresso machine. A Keurig brewer of your choice is the wise choice.
Getting the most from your Keurig
For the best results, run a water-only cycle through your Keurig before brewing to bring the machine to optimal temperature. Use filtered water if your tap water has a noticeable taste. Water quality affects single-serve coffee significantly. Clean your Keurig's needle monthly to prevent buildup that dulls flavor over time. Small habits, meaningfully better coffee.

Are these pods compatible with my Keurig?
Rogue Traveler Single Use Cups are compatible with most Keurig brewing systems including Keurig K-Classic, K-Elite, K-Select, K-Slim, K-Supreme, and K-Duo models.
