I love strong coffee and like to have a huge mug or travel mug each morning. Though I enjoy flavored coffees, most of the flavored Kcups come out too weak at the large and travel mug setting for my taste. This one is perfect. I have also found that it makes awesome iced coffee. I fill a 20 oz glass with ice and brew it at the large mug setting and voila! Perfect iced coffee. I have been enjoying this every day this summer.
I have suffered through broken Keurig machines that drove me to Tassimo and others, but had to come back and now use the Cuisinart brewer that seems to be holding up. The only reason I still use the Keurig system and the other machines are idle is to have this coffee. I have tried pods, t disks, specialty coffee in regular brewers, but I like this the best. I absolutely love it. It makes my morning the favorite part of my day.
Got a Keurig single cup machine a month ago w/trial pack. I like coffee with Kick AND Flavor. Tried quite a few (Dark Magic, Kono Bold, Emeril) and liked them all but something was missing. I found it with this blend. 2 cup travel mug of this driving 1 hr to work makes the drive so pleasant. Wish we had it at office. If not the best I ever had it is sooo close I can't tell the difference. No aftertaste, not bitter, flavor stays.
Out of the numerous brands/flavors I've tasted, this is easily my favorite. Sumatran Reserve has such a delicious, unique flavor that I find myself craving it like many of us would crave a favorite food. The negative review about SR giving someone the spins, being too strong, etc, baffles me. I have to wonder if there was another reason.
Having seen the perfect 5.0 rating, I was very excited to receive my order. This coffee made me sick.....literally. Very, very strong, and I love strong coffees. Be warned if you have health issues. It made the room spin, and scared me so badly, I returned 2 free boxes I had received.
Pros: Not Bitter, Balanced Acidity, Pleasing Aroma
Wow. I've tried Sumatran coffee before, from an automatic drip coffee maker. Then I was very unhappy with the Sumatrans, thinking their coffee was not good. Turns out I was wrong, and I just needed a Keurig. This coffee is delectable. Everything you'd want from a strong cup of coffee-full body, interesting flavor... - but none of the bad burnt texture, or bitterness. Having tried as few as I have, giving a 5 is hard, because I've been trying to grade them against each other. However, a 5 here is truly deserved.
Perfect balance of boldness without all the bitterness. By far my most favorite choice of coffee for my Keurig. If you are looking for an extra bold coffee that is smooth, this is your choice!
