I got one of these K cups in a variety pack. I was optimistic because I like other Italian Roast coffees. Brewed the coffee on the middle size of 5 choices (so 10 oz?). Sure smelled good, but had hardly any taste. Bummer. I know people who like really weak coffee; I'd recommend it to them. I'm not planning to buy any more for myself, though.
Pros: Pleasing Roast, Pleasing Aroma
Cons: Not Enough Flavor

Very dark, delicious roast. My favorite dark roast that I have had from Keurig. Fantastic !
I love this coffee! I have been on the search for what feels like an eternity to find a darker roast that doesn't taste 'burnt' or 'bitter' and this fits the bill perfectly! I was previously using a french press and ignore my Keurig machine as all the 'bold' or 'dark roast' coffee's I tried just weren't strong enough or left me wanting more. If you like a decent cup of coffee to actually wake you up and enjoy i highly recommend this one! Is you feel this isn't strong enough, go with the French roast, but I feel there Italian by Barista is perfect.
Pros: Pleasing Aroma, Flavorful, Pleasing Roast
I would recommend this to a friend!

This coffee is great on it's own or with food. It has enough flavor to wake you up in the morning and not so much as to overpower what you consume with it.
Due to the expense of K cups I use my Keurig as a "treat" ( Italian Roast, cider, tea, hot chocolate). To help eliminate waste I save the grounds for my compost pile and save the little cups as seed starter cups! This Barista Italian roast is the biggest treat of all--I have not found ANY other coffee is so roasty-flavor and smells soooo great! Once I started with my first box it has spoiled me for any other Italian Roast "impostors". I absolutely love it!!
Pros: Pleasing Aroma, Bold and not bitter, Smooth Taste
I would recommend this to a friend!

Regularly brew a French Press of Café Vecchio from Royal Cup Coffee. Love it. Just got the Keurig. This roast is great. Follows the traditional subtle chocolate hints found in Italian roasts. Also a huge fan of Starbucks Café Verona and Italian Roast.
Pros: Not Bitter, Pleasing Aroma, Pleasing Roast, Attractive Mouthfeel/Body
