This variety smells wonderful as it's being brewed, but the fantastic aroma is unfortunately misleading. I failed to detect much (if any) of the "caramel" or "vanilla" flavors I was expecting. I'm no coffee connoisseur, and I understand that it was NOT going to taste like a piece of candy in coffee form... I was just disappointed that the flavor was just like any other "normal," slightly watered-down, coffee. That said, it does make your kitchen smell GREAT. :)
Pros: Not Bitter, Pleasing Aroma
Cons: Thin Or Watery Mouthfeel/Body, Not Enough Flavor
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Just a cup of coffee

Well I just got the coffee today and I was excited to try it. I like Donut Shop's flavored coffee (cinnamon bun, chocolate donut) even though the flavor isn't really there (just the smell is for me). So I got this hoping it would give me the flavor and not just the aroma of Vanilla Caramel. Well, it brewed and smelled great. Then I tasted it and it was just a light cup of coffee. Not strong, though I didn't think it would be due to light roast. But I really wanted the flavor. If you like light coffees this is for you. If you have a guest that like light coffee but donesn't like the flavored variety, this is for them becuase they won't know the difference. Dissappointed :(
Pros: It came out hot, Pleasing Aroma
Cons: Roasted Too Light, Not Enough Flavor
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The Best of them All

I am NOT a coffee drinker, but I got the Keurig system for my husband and two grown kids. The caramel vanilla cream is the hands-down winner as their absolute favorite. This, after me buying them the coffees they SAID they wanted: Butterscotch, Vanilla Cream, Hazelnut, Butter Toffee, Donut Shop, German Chocolate Cake. This is the one I've had to re-stock again and again. The aroma is so enticing; just a lovely, not too sweet smell. I picked it because it was listed as the top choice among users; apparently with good reason. Try this one.
Pros: Attractive Mouthfeel/Body, Not Bitter, Pleasing Aroma, Smooth Taste, Exceptional/Interesting Flavor, Family favorite
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very Aromatic

I love putting this into our Keurig, it releases the scent of Caramel once it is punched even before the water hits it. I love it.
i use a french vanilla sugar free creamer in most of my coffees. it adds the little bit extra 'kick' to this one, but if you are not a creamer person, it would be fine for flavor on its own. i learned quickly that it's a small cup choice on the Keurig, as opposed to the large cup to get the best flavor.
Pros: Pleasing Aroma, Smooth Taste, Not Bitter, Balanced Acidity
This was a good coffee, but I expected it to be better. It was the first coffee I ever have been able to drink without creamer...which must be a good thing. It was a bit strong, but overall I think I like it. I would recommend it, but I don't think I will buy it again. There are many others I prefer.
