Got a sample with my brewer. How delightful to discover this brand! This is the best coffee I've tried so far for my Keurig. Rich, flavorful, smooth, just wonderful.
This coffee is dark, bitter, and aromatic. It is the complete opposite of a smooth, 'blonde', or 'breakfast' taste. It has a sharp char bite that can be overwhelming.
I brew it on a 12 oz / strong setting. I put 4 teaspoons of evaporated sugar cane and top off my travel mug with vanilla flavored 'ultra-filtered' low carb milk.
It tastes good hot and as an iced beverage. It has a strong caffeine high. I just prepared a pod roughly 2 hours ago. I served it hot and drank it as shots on ice. It's a good quality caffeine boost. I am not experiencing headaches or neck-aches that usually happen when you drink cheap caffeine.
These pods (Barista Prima) actually have enough grind in them to make a decent 8 oz cup. I still go the 6 oz route to get that closest to espresso flavor possible. A friend of mine actually thought I was serving her espresso when I served her this coffee. It is superb. Highly recommend. I do honey for sweetness and a tad bit of creamer with my coffee to change texture just a little. A+
I have been drinking the Barista Prima French Roast for a while as the dark roast is my favorite. I recently tried this one and I think this is even darker than French Roast.
If you are a dark roast fan, try this one. You won't be disappointed.
I'm usually a Starbucks girl, Cafe Verona brewed in a coffee press, but we bought a Keurig because we were having company over the holidays and thought this would be an easier option. We bought several types of coffee to try, and this is my absolute favorite! I like strong coffee and this holds up to the pour through of a Keurig, even on the medium size. Really, I absolutely love this coffee.
I usually like the Italian Roasts but this one has a really strong bite to it. I've tried it both black and with cream/sugar. Definitely a good middle of the day need a boost kinda coffee. I don't get the sweetness the description refers to, not sweet to me.
This is the best coffee flavor I get out of my Keurig brewer. I've tried many brands and types of coffee pods (Starbucks comes close, but Keurig Italian Roast wins every time.
