Top Three Bolds

I love bold coffee, and have found the Keurig makes mild coffee, so I have tried every bold they have in K-Cups, and this is one of my three favorites. Smooth, unique flavor, and really strong. Love it!
I got this coffee in the Fair Trade Sampler. I was excited to try it because I have always been a fan of Sumatran blends. This, however, is not a Sumatran blend. The beans taste burnt and the after taste made me go brush my teeth. I am glad that I did not buy this in a big pack.
Cons: Unpleasant Aftertaste, Unbalanced Or Sharp Acidity, Unpleasant Flavor
This is by far the best extra bold coffee! I've tried the other Green Mountain extra bold varieties (Espresso Blend & Dark Magic). They're just not bold enough. At the 6oz cup size, it's not enough coffee; and at the 8oz, it becomes watery. And then especially when you add some creamer in there - add a drop of creamer in there, and it's already too light/milky! And even when drinking it black, it doesn't have much intense flavor either. I've also tried the extra bold variety pack from Coffee People such as Jet Fuel, Wake-up call, Black Tiger and Organic. These are much better. At least when you drink it black in the 8 oz cup size, it's not watery and still tastes bold. Out of these I think the Organic variety is the best. But going back to my initial review of the Sumatran, it's BOLD, dark, smooth, INTENSE! If you like strong, bold coffee like Starbucks (w/out the burnt taste) this is the coffee for you!
The Sumatran Reserve Extra Bold is a full-bodied blend. It's smooth, not bitter at all. It's the perfect cup of coffee for those who love their coffee to "taste" like coffee!! Excellent and I highly recommend.
