This latest offering of Colombian Peaks coffee from 8 O'Clock is not the same as the 100% Colombian that was previously offered. I am disappointed that this change was made and am considering not ordering this coffee again. The coffee in this "new" product is not as smooth, not as rich, not as nutty and not as satisfying as the original 100% Colombian used to be. "WHAT A SHAME" ! ! !
Pros: Not Bitter, Pleasing Roast
Cons: Not Enough Flavor, Thin Or Watery Mouthfeel/Body, Unappealing Or Flat Aroma
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Decided to try this one when the original Eight O'clock was out of stock. My taste buds just couldn't get next to this product, to put it nicely. To put it harshly: terrible. Just my opinion, but you would be best to avoid this one completely!
We used it first in nj, and then had it sent to Us on the west coast but now several vendors Have it. The Colombian is the best like , told us years ago.
I used Eight O'Clock Colombian for years. First grinding beans every morning then switching to the K-Cups. When Eight O'Clock made the move to Colombian Perks I have completely abandoned the brand. It is awful!!!!!
I have been drinking the eight o'clock Columbian for many years. Loved it. Drank it everyday, 2-3 cups. Then for some unknown reason, they now have Columbian "peaks". It is awful---that is all I can say---awful. When I called to find out if the two coffee's were the same, the young lady who answered could not answer my question's. If eight o'clock does not go back to the regular brew, onward to Folgers Columbian I will merrily go.
Cons: Unpleasant Aftertaste, Not Enough Flavor, Roasted Too Light, Unpleasant Flavor, Unappealing Or Flat Aroma, Thin Or Watery Mouthfeel/Body, Unbalanced Or Sharp Acidity
This review is for the Eight O'Clock Colombian Peaks coffee. This is not the same coffee as the Eight O'Clock 100% Colombian, which was very good! The Columbian Peaks is Terrible!
