If all that matters to you is an overwhelming bitterness, you might enjoy this. I drink my coffee black and thoroughly enjoy strong, bold flavours but there is no unique taste to this and it is so over-roasted as to actually lose any real coffee favor.
Cons: Unbalanced Or Sharp Acidity, Unpleasant Aftertaste, Unpleasant Flavor
My Keurig and I are still in our honeymoon stage but after tasting this in my assorted k-cup samples with purchase, I knew I was hooked. I LOVE the smokiness that this roast provides...subtle but adequate; just the right amount to make you eager for the next sip. It's smooth and earthy and contrary to other reviews I don't detect the slightest hint of bitterness. It's coffee like this that makes me so happy that my Keurig and I are together and that we will be for years to come.
This is a great tasting coffee. Ever since I got my Keurig machine I'm learning difference between different coffees. Flavor, Level of Roast and Types. I like this one for it flavor.
I drink a great deal more coffee since I found this delicious blend. I don't like weak coffees and Barista definitely has created a strong bodied flavor unmatched by any of the others I have tried of the same "Italian" or similar blend. It's just awesome and if you really love to taste your coffee and wake up with a big smile on your face on your first sip I'd definitely suggest this brand as a first option. My second option still is a Barista blend and it would be French Roast for a lighter taste however it's rare I desire a weaker coffee.
