This is coffee for people that like Starbucks or espresso. Not Starbucks with 10 pumps of sugary syrup and whipped cream, but for people that drink it dark and strong. It has a delicious rich full flavor. If you are content with dunkin donuts coffee or coffee they serve in most diners, this is not for you. If you are a San Francisco, Seattle or European coffee lover this might be the best kcup for you. I bought the Starbucks kcups and they weren't as flavorful as I desired.
We bought our Keurig in January after trying it out at a friends house. My husband prefers a light to medium roast with a mild flavor. I usually prefer a bold, dark roast with lots of flavor. So, single-serve is perfect for us. So, far Tully's has been my go-to. But I tried the Barista Prima Italian Roast...and WOW! Its probably the best roast I've had yet. Its bold, flavorful but without any bitter aftertaste. I do a full 12 oz with some splenda and the flavor is still great. Served to fussy friends and they LOVED it too. Get it - its worth the extra cost! (I can't wait to try some of their other roasts...) Wish the Decaf wasn't out of stock - doc wants me to limit the caffeine. Psht.
It tastes like a coffee you would pay $4.00/cup for at a coffeehouse! By far the best K-cup I've tried. I only wish there was a latte or cappuccino in this brand!
This coffee has a pleasant aroma but is a little too strong for me. The after taste sticks with you. If I prefered bolder coffee I am sure this would be a hit. It's nice but just not my pick.
This just tasted bad. It had a burnt flavor even with a large dose of sweet vanilla cream. My wife tasted it and agreed. There are much better Italian roasts out there. Maybe I just got a bad batch but I will not try this again.
