After being stationed in Europe and adapting to the darker roasts, I found it frustrating trying to find coffee that compared to the quality of roast that I had the pleasure of drinking there. Once I brewed my first Barista Prime Italian Roast, I was in heaven! Dark roast with the perfect flavors, not bitter, and cocoa aftertaste.
This Kcup was included as part of the samplers with my machine, I will add that when I made it, I was amazed at the smell and flavor - a bold coffee without the bitterness, almost like an americano but with more flavor.
Pros: BOLD, Pleasing Aroma, Not Acidic, Attractive Mouthfeel/Body, Pleasing Roast, Smooth Taste, Not Bitter
I prefer dark roasted coffees and have tasted many different kinds. This is the worst I have ever had. It's super bitter and tastes bad afterward. Dark and bitter do not have to be synonymous with each other when it comes to coffee. I prefer dark coffees to be smooth and complex in flavor and not make my face shrivel up from sharp bitterness. I drink my coffee black, so it's even more important the coffee itself taste good on it's own, not to be masked by sugar, cream, milk, etc. I'll stick with Tully's French Roast for now as that's dark but still very pleasant to drink.
Cons: Unpleasant Aftertaste, Unbalanced Or Sharp Acidity, Unpleasant Flavor
