Bitter Coffee Face....

I've been an avid Keurig user for five years. This roast is probably the worst I've tasted. I wanted to like this offering, but after several cups, I had to give the rest away. The aroma is pleasing, but the coffee is unbalanced and leaves a very bitter aftertaste. It's a shame too, because I love the Barista Prima Italian Roast and I was looking for a cheaper alternative. I disagree with the other post. It is NOWHERE close to what you get in an Italian coffee shop.
Pros: Pleasing Aroma
Cons: Unbalanced Or Sharp Acidity, Unpleasant Aftertaste, Unpleasant Flavor
This coffee is just okay. I really tried to like it. Ran out of my faves, purchased this in a store. I expected it to be more like Tully's Italian or Barista Prima Italian. Does not have the flavor of those. This coffee is smooth though and not bitter, but doesn't compare to other Italian dark roast coffee. It's a little bland for my liking. I will probably mix remainder with Midnight Express or another dark roast, and that will probably help it out some. Overall, i'd say this coffee is just plain, and a little lacking in flavor.
Pros: Not Bitter, Smooth Taste
Cons: Not Enough Flavor, Thin Or Watery Mouthfeel/Body
I loved the coffee when i was in italy and am constantly trying to find something even close to the smooth rich flavors there. I have tried many brands and thus far find this one to be the best in my Kuerig. It is truely enjoyable.
I liked Eight O'Clock Coffee before I got my Keurig, so I was thrilled to see it in the K-Cups. I had been drinking the Donut Shop brand, but it was out-of-stock when I was ready to re-order, so I picked up the Eight O'Clock at a retail store to try...I will be ordering this in the future.
Pros: Balanced Acidity, Pleasing Aroma, Smooth Taste, Rich, Not Bitter
I usually like Starbuck's Verona coffee in the morning, I like a strong taste I have not found anything remotely comparable until now This coffee will be on my regularly shipped list
