I got the Italian Roast Dark Roast Coffee as a free sample. The aroma doesn't fill the room. I had to put my nose to the cup. The aftertaste was the same as the first taste. The flavor was not exceptionally bold but for a medium coffee drinker this is a dark coffee flavor and is strong. I feel this is almost not strong enough and I blame this on the light aroma. A coffee should be smelled first. I had to focus on breathing it in at close distance. Imporove the aroma by making it stronger. The aroma isn't bad it isn't strong enough. Fill my senses. It isn't a bad coffee. Good taste and no bad aftertaste.
Pros: Pleasing Roast, Not Bitter, Balanced Acidity
Cons: Light aroma
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Verified Purchase:No
After a great deal of testing, I found the best... except in recent months the taste has changed to a more lighter, less tasteful version of the original blend. Disappointing as I have to waste time with more taste-testing instead of just enjoying a great cup of coffee.

I got a 12-pod pack of this instead of the 12-pod variety pack that was advertised with my Keurig machine, and was initially okay with it, but ended up very unimpressed. It smelled great, but it was far too bitter for my tastes.
Pros: Pleasing Aroma
Cons: Unpleasant Aftertaste, Unpleasant Flavor, Bitter, Unbalanced Or Sharp Acidity
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is what an Italian roast should be. It has a smokiness that takes the flavor just far enough so you can inhale it, but no so far as to stick in the back of your throat. It also surpasses any blend I have tried so far, as they always lose some of the characteristic deep, smoke flavor in exchange for something watery or at the other extreme become so cheap as to taste like rocket fuel. This is as good an Italian roast as you will get at most restaurants, and as good as I have produced using a press, back before I was given a Keurig machine. It's 10 years old and still going strong.
Excellant strong coffee. Received the free Barista Prima Mug sent in 3 pin codes on specially marked boxes. The mug is large so holds all cup choices. Its top heavy , spilled once already. Very nice mug to enjoy your coffee.
