Just to give you a frame of reference, I have seen these pods on sale at a local discount store called Big Lots for $1 per box, which is freaking amazing. I've also seen them at Tuesday Morning for $3 box. The Amazon price is the best one I've seen for pods not being sold in a retail store here.I bought them for my sister, who has a Melitta One:One pod coffeemaker. She said that they arrived as described, six full boxes of pods in the flavors advertised. Their manufacture dates were 2004, just like the ones she'd bought at Big Lots and that I'd seen at Tuesday Morning.According to my sister, the taste is great. She is hooked on these. For the price per cup, you can't go wrong.I just wish they didn't come from a 2004 batch. And I wish there were more flavors to choose from.
