How long do Keurig K pods last?
Since there is not a true expiration date on K-Cup® pods, you can drink them for as long as you want. Yet, the quality and flavor may diminish after an extended period. Most likely, an expired K-Cup® pod will not make you sick. But, you should dispose of the pod anyways. We recommend storing K-Cup® pods in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. We do not recommend storing our beverages in a refrigerator or freezer as they will absorb odors from the atmosphere.

What’s the difference between K cups and Keurig pods?
So, let’s define a pod and K-cup: They are sometimes individually wrapped in foil or just packed loose in a larger resealable bag. Pods are also known as coffee pads. A K-Cup is is coffee or tea (and recently hot chocolate and cappuccino) that is sealed in some kind of cartridge, generally a plastic cup. However, many people get the impression that they can recreate their first delicious cup by brewing with the same pod again. This is the reality: The mechanics of a standard plastic K-Cup accommodate a one-time use. Once you’ve brewed a cup of coffee, the grounds inside the pod are waterlogged.Coffee has antioxidants, which have health benefits. But K-Cups likely release microplastics into your coffee, and these tiny plastics have been tied to some health problems. K-Cups can also create a lot of plastic waste in the environment. And they can’t always be recycled.While you can technically use any coffee for your Keurig brews, your best bet is to mimic the coffee commonly used in K-Cup pods already. Opt for dark or medium roast arabica or blends as they make the most out of the high-pressure brewing system of the Keurig.
