The Barista is my favorite for breakfast. I'm Italian and this reminds me of my Sicilian Grandmother.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not what it use to be.

I have been buying this for years and over time it seems to be tasting weaker. I normally don't even buy other brands because many of the cheaper brands only have somewhere between 0.31 to 0.36oz of coffee per K cup. That's why they are cheaper. I even stopped going to Starbucks because they started making their coffee weaker, so I went to this Italian Roast. I was very happy but like i said, this started to taste weaker. So I went to a 6oz cup of coffee to get the same flavor. But even now that's not good enough. Well to my surprise I checked my latest shipment and found out they are shipping only 0.36 per K cup. That is going from 0.47 down to 0.45 etc to now 0.36. Its obvious that the person running the show now doesn't care about the Brand and only about the bottom line. I was getting 10 boxes per month and slowly went to 8 boxes per 8 weeks because I found a cheaper coffee that tastes similar (but not as good until now). Now I think I may have to just stop ordering this altogether. I noticed they did something similar (putting less in a K cup) but then went back to normal. It may have been a while ago, but I have been drinking this for many years. I think it's really sneaky to change the quantity oz per k cup and think that those who spent the extra to buy this wouldn't notice. Fix this soon or you'll just start losing customers. Smart customers look at the box to see how many ounces are in there K cups and normally I don't get fooled. But I never thought a Brand as good as this would pull the same sneaky trick that everyone else is doing. Shame on Barista or is it shame on Keurig. I don't know who's responsible, only that I personally won't stand for this much longer. What a shame. This was my favorite all time coffee and the one I would recommend to all my friends who like strong coffee. Beware when they change the packaging. This says something else is changing as well. Sneaky right?
As a black coffee drinker, I like robust coffee with no bitter after taste. This coffee meets my expectations. I believe this coffee would maintain its flavor for those that do add milk/cream to their drink.
