It’s not just this Italian Roast that has changed but Kuerig. Apparently Kuerig is not concerned about the quality of the products using their name. Something has changed. I have used this brand for many years, it was my favorite Italian taste of coffee. Now it is weak and not fresh tasting. Think twice about purchasing this Italian Roast if your expecting a strong cup of Italian coffee.
This was the only k-cup coffee I used, but as others have said, something has definitely changed. Whether it's less coffee or change in design (not using that plastic ring in the bottom of the pod), the coffee has lost its deep, complex flavor and now seems only adequate. Nothing special about this Italian roast any longer.
