Can You Put CBD Coffee in a Keurig? Here’s the Truth
Some mornings call for a pour-over ritual. Others? You just want your coffee fast, hot, and ready to fuel your next move. That’s where the Keurig shines.
But what if you want to pair that convenience with the balance of CBD coffee? Good news: you can brew CBD coffee in a Keurig—and it works better than you might think. Let’s walk through how, why it matters, and how to get the smoothest sip possible.
What Is CBD Coffee Anyway?
CBD coffee is your favorite morning ritual with a twist: fresh-roasted beans infused with hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD). Unlike THC, CBD won’t get you high. Instead, it may help smooth out caffeine’s sharp edges—giving you the focus and clarity you crave without the jitters.
At Strava, we roast specialty beans in small batches, then infuse them with CBD in a way that ensures each cup is consistent, delicious, and adventure-ready.
Can You Put CBD Coffee in a Keurig?
Short answer: yes. If your CBD coffee comes in a Keurig-compatible pod, you can brew it just like any other K-Cup. Pop it in, press brew, and you’re on your way.
Most CBD pods—including Strava’s—fit both Keurig 1.0 and 2.0 machines, so you’re covered no matter what version you’ve got.
Brewing Tips for the Best Cup
A few tweaks can make your CBD coffee taste even better:
- Stick to medium cup size (8 oz). Keeps the CBD dose balanced with your coffee strength.
- Avoid “strong brew” mode. It can over-extract and alter the taste.
- Clean your machine often. CBD-infused coffee has natural oils—keeping your Keurig fresh means cleaner flavor.
-
Store pods in a cool, dry spot. CBD stays stable longer this way.
How CBD and Caffeine Work Together
Coffee fires you up; CBD helps keep things grounded. Here’s how they balance each other:
- Caffeine: blocks adenosine (the chemical that makes you feel tired), leading to energy and focus.
- CBD: interacts with your body’s endocannabinoid system, which helps regulate mood and stress.
- Some research suggests CBD may even slow the metabolism of caffeine, giving you steadier energy that lasts longer—without the mid-morning crash.
Think of it as adventure fuel that powers your body and your mind.
Dosing: How Much CBD Is in a Pod?
Not all pods are created equal. That’s why dose consistency matters.
Strava’s CBD K-Cups come in different strengths (10 mg or 20 mg per pod), so you can pick what works best for your day. Whether you’re fueling up for a trail run or easing into a workday, start low, sip mindfully, and adjust as needed.
Pro tip: One cup is usually plenty. If you want more, try spacing them out instead of doubling up.
What If I Don’t Have CBD Pods?
No pods? No problem. You can still brew CBD coffee in your Keurig using a reusable filter pod:
- Scoop in Strava’s ground CBD coffee.
- Pop it into the reusable pod.
- Brew like normal.
Or, if you’re experimenting: brew your usual K-Cup, then add a few drops of CBD oil. (Fair warning: oil and water don’t mix well, so pre-infused coffee will always taste better and deliver CBD more evenly.)
Is CBD Coffee Safe?
For most coffee lovers, yes. But here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Medication interactions: If your prescription has a grapefruit warning, talk to your doctor before adding CBD.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding? Skip CBD for now—research is limited.
- New to CBD? Start with a lower dose (10 mg) to see how your body responds.
As with any functional food or drink, it’s about listening to your body and finding what feels right.
So, Does CBD Coffee in a Keurig Actually Work?
Yes. With the right pod, your Keurig can brew CBD coffee that’s flavorful, consistent, and balanced. It’s the same convenience you already love—now with smoother energy and a little calm woven in.
Because at Strava, coffee isn’t just a beverage. It’s a way to fuel your adventures, steady your focus, and set your rhythm for the day ahead.
So, next time you’re racing the sunrise or squeezing in a coffee before heading out the door, know this: you can brew CBD coffee in your Keurig—and it just might become your new go-to ritual.
