It's a coffee that fills my mug with pleasure. I love coffee black. If you use cream and sugar then you don't like the flavor of the coffee. The roast brings rich, full flavor that lingers on the palate. It is very satisfying as the flavor blooms slowly on the palate to a full bodied taste, Great after a meal or on its own for a break.
Pros: Pleasing Roast, Smooth Taste, Exceptional/Interesting Flavor, Not Bitter
I would recommend this to a friend!

This coffee is as good as Prima Barista Italian. This is the only coffee that rates that well at a cheaper price I would say it is a best value.
I saw the 8 o'clock brand and remembered my parents drinking this brand when I was a child. So on a whim I chose their Italian roast. Was I ever supprised on my first cup that it was ever thing I loved in a bold coffee! Flavor that is not watered down, great aroma, not bitter, and the list goes on! It is now my new number one choice... tied with Black Tiger and Barista Italian roast
Pros: Pleasing Aroma, Balanced Acidity, Not Bitter, Pleasing Roast, Nice Rich Bold Flavor, Attractive Mouthfeel/Body, Not At All Weak, Smooth Taste
I would recommend this to a friend!

My favorite K-cup coffee. I like it as well as Starbucks French Roast, which costs almost double.
I tried this coffee after looking for the darkest roast possible, and after reading the description and several reviews both here and elsewhere. Though I continue to look for an even darker roast that I like, I keep coming back to the "Eight O'Clock - Dark Italian Roast." Starbucks "French Roast" and "Sumatra Dark" are not far off the mark. "Barista Prima Coffeehouse - Espresso Roast" was disappointing (though the description here is accurate). "Eight O'Clock - Dark Italian Roast" is a, I don't know quite how to explain it...) "rich" tasting, not bitter, ever so slightly "chocolatey," dark roast. I guess that I'll continue to order the Starbucks for an occasional change of pace, but "Eight O'Clock - Dark Italian Roast" is my go to k-cup!
