This is a nicely balanced, full-flavored coffee that we always keep in stock. The roast is sweeter than Black Diamond and Black Tiger, and the flavor has more depth than Big Easy Bold (we like all of those coffees, too, but appreciate a variety of tastes and styles in our bold coffee). Enjoy!
I have tried this coffee on several settings and really its not horrible but its not exceptional either. Make sure you brew it on at least the 12 OZ setting or you get a very bitter coffee. I was expecting a much better flavor as I drink sumatra alot. I probably wont be buying this one again.
Pros: Pleasing Aroma, Not Bitter, Attractive Mouthfeel/Body
Great flavor. I drink it small and black...it is by far my favorite K cup. Served it to my 94 year old grandmother with dessert one evening and she said, "Now that's a cup of coffee!". Needless to say, she was up half the night so it definately has a kick to it. When I want something a little different and not too sweet, I brew the small cup and squirt some whipped cream on top...AMAZING!!
I found that this coffee left an after taste. If you are a straight up black and strong coffee drinker, you might appreciate this flavor more than I did. It overpowered any creamer I put in it. I even tried adding sugar to it (which I dont do often) and found it just tasted wrong. No matter what I put in it I couldnt find it drinkable.
Pros: Pleasing Aroma
Cons: Unbalanced Or Sharp Acidity, Unpleasant Flavor, Unpleasant Aftertaste
If you like the extra bold coffees this will be one of your faves. I drink mine black so I can tell you that it tastes just like a good coffee house brew. One interesting thing about this one is that I didn't find myself reading and then looking up and wondering how my cup got empty. Every sip reminded me that it was still there. Enjoy this as much as I did!
