I found this coffee to be ok but nothing to write home about. A bit more on the bitter side than I had hoped and not as smooth as some of the other ones offered. Just depends on your personal taste.
SUMATRA NOT sumatran was my favorite. It WAS rich, creamy with an intensive engaging flavor that filled your mouth and lingered. this new blend is NOT the same. It lacks complexity and is NOT worth the water to brew it. Green Mountain/Keurig tried to TRICK us into believing it was still sumatra. Bad move on all fronts. I reject this pretender. BRING BACK SUMATRA.
Pros: Nothing
Cons: WEAK, Thin Or Watery Mouthfeel/Body, Roasted Too Light, Not Enough Flavor, Pretender, Unpleasant Flavor, Unappealing Or Flat Aroma
I've gone from one to another coffee with Keurig which I've used for almost 5 years now. Now they tell me they won't sell to me because I am Canadian and I MUST buy from their Canadian website that does not sell this coffee or any of the coffees that are decent to drink. Well I just don't believe it! Once again corporate greed takes over and because the coffee costs to much to import into Canada they won't even entertain the opportunity for us to choose to pay for what we want. We now have to have cheap lousy coffee of the Canadian counterparts choosing. NOT democratic in any way. Typically corporate greed.
Reminds me of Hawaii as Sumatra/Indonesia areas are part of the "Ring of Fire," regions with volcanic activity where the soil has rich sulfuric properties, which in turn, makes their soil richly fertile and yields coffee beans that produce heavenly bold coffee. The beans, to produce that essence taste, should be ground very fine. We enjoy the smell so much with either the K-Cups or the beans, it's like an olfactory bonus.
