I like dark roasts with a full body. I also enjoy variety. We use a Keurig because my wife likes the convenience. When we had the counter space I had two machines-one for espresso and one for coffee, which I brewed a cup at a time. I bought beans from several sources and made my own blends....blends, as I do enjoy variety. There are several coffees available in k cups that I thoroughly enjoy....not as much as my own brewed blends, but the are more than passable, they are very good. Double Diamond is one of them. The others are: Peet's House Blend and Major Dickason's Blend, Dark Magic, Black Tiger, Cafe Bustelo Espresso, and Lavazza Perfetto. Most other dark roasts I've tried lack body and character...they are simply overroasted average beans. Grab a cup of Double Diamond, or one of the others I mentioned, and sit back and enjoy. BTW, I drink them all black, or with a spot of half & half, and sometimes a sweetener, depending on my mood. I like them all any of those ways. Bon Appetit.
Yum, Double Diamond is my new favorite coffee! It's right up there with Lake & Lodge. I drink my coffee black and like a darker, full flavored roast that isn't bitter or acidic, these both fit the bill.
perfectly strong not bitter all other blends pale in comparison the best coffee I have ever tasted and I have been drinking coffee since I was 6 years old
Maybe this one is just TOO DARK for me, but it was a shocker with its bitterness and acid taste. Could not call this smooth, just awfuly awfully strong. Could not recommend this unless you are more of a cowboy mud coffee drinker
Cons: Unbalanced Or Sharp Acidity, Unpleasant Flavor, Unpleasant Aftertaste
My wife and I enjoy a dark bold roast in our coffee. This, however, was more akin to an assault on our senses and palate. I usually use the midsize button to brew my cup. On this I used the large pour and it still was too much for me. At coffee shops I tend to order an Americano if I want a regular cup of joe. The had none of the appeal of the delight I had expected and instead we killed it with half and half and would just have perferred to throw it into a compost pile, but feared it would make our garden's vegitables bitter as well. Sure that was snark, but in all honesty this was the first time I've HATED a brew from Green Mountain.
