Does K-Cup coffee go bad?

QUESTION:

I have a box of K- cups that have a 10/07 expiration date on them. I know its a silly question but are they still good?

ANSWER:

My apologies for the delay in answering your question. I wasn't sure of the answer, so sent your question on to Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, who make K-Cups.

Here is what they wrote back:

“K-cups have a 9 month shelf life. However, if each unit is sealed, the k-cups will last longer although the coffee may not taste as fresh.”

I hope that helps.

If in doubt, you can buy some fresh K-Cups from Green Mountain Coffee.
