August is the calm before the (pumpkin spice-flavored) storm. Once September rolls in, mornings get busier, routines get tighter, and favorite blends go out of stock — fast.
1) Take Inventory of What You Really Drink
Before you buy more, ask yourself:
- Which flavors do I reach for most?
- Do I drink more coffee when it's cold out?
- Am I brewing just for me — or the whole household?
Start by making a list of your favorite blends and how many K-Cups you go through weekly. Most U.S. coffee lovers average 1–2 K-Cups per day, which adds up quickly in the fall.
2) Buy Seasonal Staples in Advance
Some flavors always spike in demand once the weather cools:
- French Roast (for early mornings and long workdays)
- Hazelnut & Salted Caramel (comfort in a cup)
- Pumpkin Spice & fall flavors (limited supply!)
Buying now means less scrambling later — and ensures you get the good stuff before it disappears.
3) Go Bulk, Save More
Fall is the season of routine, and routine = more coffee. Stocking up on 48- or 72-count boxes now saves you:
- Time (no emergency grocery runs)
- Money (bulk = better price per pod)
- Stress (nothing worse than waking up to an empty box)
4) Don’t Forget Office & Remote Setups
Back-to-office traffic is real — and remote workers are also doubling down on their home brewers. If you work from home (or manage a team), stocking up early can prevent mid-month chaos.
