Riverside Half Caff · one caddy · eight single serves

Riverside Half Caff · 8 Pour Over Single Serves

One Riverside caddy holds eight individually wrapped Pour Over Single Serves, all in the same Half Caff coffee profile. Each packet contains ground coffee and a built-in filter that rests over your mug. Bring a serving to work or on your travels, wherever hot water and a suitable mug are available.

Riverside by Oval Coffee Roasters is a smooth, light-to-medium roast made with equal portions of caffeinated coffee and decaf, roasted in New York City.

Half Caff still contains caffeine. The 50/50 ratio describes the coffee blend, not a tested caffeine amount in your cup. Dose, serving size and brewing method affect the result.

Net coffee weight: 3.12 oz per caddy · eight servings containing 0.39 oz each.

How to brew single-serve pour-over coffee

You’ll need hot water and a mug. No coffee machine, grinder or separate dripper is required.

  1. Open and attach. Remove the drip bag from its packet, tear the filter at the marked edge and unfold the paper arms securely over your mug.
  2. Brew gently. Pour hot water to wet the grounds, keeping it below the filter’s top edge. Let the water drain before adding more.
  3. Finish your cup. Continue pouring in stages following the packet directions. Let the final pour drain, then remove the filter.

Pause if water builds up; do not pour faster than the filter can drain. For a lighter cup, add a little hot water to the brewed coffee and taste.

A small pack for your everyday routine

Keep the caddy at home, tuck sealed packets into your travel bag or share a serving with a guest. The eight-count pack also lets you try Riverside before choosing a larger supply. To taste several coffees instead, explore the 8-count Pour Over Variety Pack, which includes Bowling Green, The Natural and Riverside.

Read the Half Caff Coffee Guide for Riverside’s blend and caffeine context, or watch the Riverside film for another look at the coffee.

Share a caddy or plan a larger coffee service

The eight-count caddy is a compact coffee gift for someone who enjoys Half Caff and has hot water and a suitable mug. For custom-labeled coffee bags for clients, teams or event favors, explore corporate and custom coffee gifts.

For guest rooms, office pantries and shared spaces, review hotel and hospitality coffee and choose the Riverside 100-count case when you need more individually sealed servings. Packet supply is separate from staffed or drop-off NYC coffee catering.

Single-serve pour-over coffee questions

Is this instant coffee, a pod or a steeping bag?

No. Hot water flows through real coffee grounds and a filter into your mug. The grounds stay in the drip bag instead of dissolving. It is designed for pour-over brewing, not a pod machine or steeping in the cup.

Does a 50/50 blend mean exactly half the caffeine?

No. It describes equal portions of caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee. Dose, serving size and brewing method affect the amount in your cup, and decaf can retain some caffeine. Riverside is not caffeine-free.

How should I store the eight servings?

Keep each sleeve sealed until brewing. Store the caddy in a cool, dry place away from heat, moisture, direct light and strong odors. Follow the best-by information on the packaging.

Can I get Riverside in a larger pack or another format?

Choose the Riverside 100-count pour-over case for a larger supply, Riverside whole bean coffee for fresh grinding, or the Riverside Discovery Set for one whole bean bag and eight matching single serves.

Love the idea of this pour-over coffee. Wish decaffeinated option was available so I could drink it more often. Smooth flavor, easy enough to use.

These come in individual packets that I can just throw in my bag. The instructions in the back are pretty easy to follow. It didn't take long to prepare. It was pretty delicious. Not too strong. Made about a cup of coffee.

Very great product. Good quality coffee in an easy to use format. Got these for easy to use coffee to make while in a hotel room, and it was a great thing to use

I liked the flavor profile of these, no bitter taste. However, the best part was how easy these are to use on the go! I like the packaging, that they are individually packaged. I wouldn't use these for every day drinking at home, but definitely while traveling so I don't have to give up the "good coffee" flavor.

Monica L.

I thought they were great. They have good flavor. I wish they came in a larger variety of flavors to choose from. I only tried one even though there are three.

Ashley L.

I currently work a very hectic schedule and having these single-use pour-over coffees have helped me the past few days. The taste is comparable to what you get at a coffee shop, just add milk to preference (or not).

I found the Oval Coffee pour overs at Sprouts in their new product area. Very convenient for travel, camping, these are single use for pour over coffee. Several varieties available. Recommended.

I'm a casual coffee drinker - usually I just drink for fun. I normally make matchas so I was happy to see a single use coffee. I don't own a coffee maker so this is perfect for the occasional coffee that tastes better than a starbucks or instant. I also enjoyed the ritual of the pour over. The flavor was nice - it was smooth and not too acidic. I tried out the half caff version and it didn't give me the jitters. Just wish it was organic!

I tried the Riverside flavor and I liked it. I usually don't purchase these types of products but I was open to trying this. I might purchase again

Chae K.

The coffee itself was good but the paper that was supposed to support the water in the filter was too weak and tore off before I could finish the instructions. Aside from that I like this product.

I got these at the perfect time. Right before a trip. My husband loved them to make coffee in our hotel room. He enjoyed the taste. I would buy them again.

Oval Coffee Roasters are good single use coffee which you can enjoy instantly when needed. The flavor, taste and it's content are really good making you fresh and energetic.

Oval Coffee Roasters are easy to use, good in taste and suits well with dairy or dairy free milk. It is unique in flavor, variety and easiness of use.

Mirsa T.

This is such a great coffee to have handy. Perfect for at work or when you're on the go. I was able to try it while camping and loved how easy and delicious the coffee was. Is definitely try it again and recommend it to someone else.

The coffee itself is great - smooth, great flavor, smells great, etc. And the branding is beautiful, etc. If you are in it for the beans, you won't be disappointed. It felt silly, however, and I think finding its niche will be difficult. The only situation I imagined would be someone who adores drip coffee, but was staying overnight at their in-laws who quit drinking coffee a few years ago and couldn't bring any of their brewing equipment. Or, that same person is camping at a weekend music festival with access to hot water.

Got 2 single-use pour-over coffee from Oval Coffee Roasters at local Sprouts Farmers Market. Love it is so easy to pack and enjoy your coffee with only a cup and hot water. Trip friendly companion!

Really enjoyed this coffee tried the Riverside Blend and they have a large variety of different flavors and they are single use pour over. If you love coffee give them a try because they have very unusual flavors?
