I've now tried competing single-portion pour-over coffees from Copper Cow, Tribo, Twin Peaks, Kuju, and Casa (sold in local retail). Comparison follows.
Kuju "Basecamp blend - Medium Roast" is at or near the top for sheer coffee flavor. I often drink coffees with milk, but some have such beautiful balance and complexity that the flavor seems wasted (blunted) by milk; those go particularly well with or after food. Kuju is one, surpassing my former #1 "good black" brand (Tribo "Guatamalan"). Both are expensive at $2 per serving in 10-packs (Tribo recently increased from $1.60; Copper Cow is even pricier, but includes condensed-milk packet for the Vietnamese serving style.)
Tribo, another top-quality brand, sells several regional and blend coffees in pour-over format; trying a few assortments led to preferring Tribo's Guatamalan just mentioned. Another complex floral medium roast, "good black."

Copper Cow has slightly longer Amazon history than Kuju and, like Kuju, is promoted to outdoor enthusiasts (the Backpacker's Pantry camping-food firm sells Copper Cow in ruggedized 2-serving packs). At $3 per serving it's a "luxury" brand; it's also a unique experience with the intense savory Vietnamese-grown coffee and the included condensed-milk ration.

Twin Peaks, like Tribo, markets several differently-sourced pour-over coffees and is my everyday, value brand for this genre at 60 cents a portion in 10-packs. After trying several of its varieties I prefer Costa Rican and Colombian. (Sometimes black, sometimes w/milk.)

Casa (bought at local "Ranch 99" Chinese-themed supermarket; like many of these products it's assembled in Taiwan, apparently the center for pour-over pouch manufacturing) also offers different regional coffees. They were inexpensive and not bad; but with the competition above, I'd call it a commodity brand and I haven't re-purchased any.

Fantastic coffee for camping or at home!
Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2019
I bought a big pack to bring for a camping trip this month. My friends and I are all avid coffee drinkers and we had been searching for a good coffee to bring on trips. I first came across Kuju when I was browsing REI and the associate had recommended it as one of their hit coffee products. I bought a single pour-over to try it and WOW - it was a game changer. Immediately, I searched for Kuju online and found the big pack on Amazon. Not only is the coffee super easy to use (just slip it over a mug and pour water), the quality was also amazing, extremely smooth and had fantastic flavors. All my friends on the trip couldn't get enough of it and it was something we looked forward to each morning!We didn't end up using the entire pack on our trip so I brought it home and have been drinking Kuju coffee every morning despite a coffee shop being right around the corner. The pour overs are super affordable, convenient and best of all tasty!10/10 would recommend! Looking forward to trying the other blends that Kuju offers :)
