I drink a ton of coffee (whole bean from Seattle and Bay Area roasters). I wasn't sure which K-cup to try after opening the package, but this was a fantastic first choice. It confirmed that the Keurig was one of the best gifts I've ever received.
I just bought this new Keurig System and the first K-Cup I tried was Emeril's "Big Easy Bold" ... I could not believe it! It smelled like coffee!! And the wonderful coffee flavor was perfect! I was so hesitant to buy this and Emeril has indeed made me so happy I did! Can't wait for the next cup!
Pros: Exceptional/Interesting Flavor, Not Bitter, Smooth Taste, Pleasing Roast, Attractive Mouthfeel/Body, Balanced Acidity, Pleasing Aroma, Perfect cup of coffee
We have tried over 20 brands of coffee since we've bought our Keurig in October and we keep going back to this coffee. I will admit when we first tried it, we weren't sure as it is a bold coffee as labeled, which I typically love and I drink my coffee black, but I was not use to drinking a "Starbucks" type coffee or an Italian shot of expresso everyday and I think that was the problem with my first impression. Now this is our go to coffee in the morning; it's the perfect wake up call. It is not a coffee I would drink all day, but it is perfect for the morning or coming home to after shopping, etc. and you need that soothing pick me up cup of coffee without paying the price for a cup of Starbucks. I highly recommend if you love Starbucks or expresso then give this coffee a chance.
I cannot describe the disgust of this coffee.. No matter how much flavored creamer I added, couldn't kill the BURNT taste.. My sister and friends all agreed..OH my gosh.........
Cons: Unpleasant Aftertaste, Unpleasant Flavor, Unbalanced Or Sharp Acidity
Totally disgusting. My husband and I like extra bold, but this is just terrible. We got it as a part of the sample pack, and after trying it several times, we chucked the rest. Wow. Go for the Green Mountain Sumatran, the Newman's or the Donut Shop varieties if you like an extra bold coffee that does not have the "envigorating aroma" of embalming fluid.
Cons: Unpleasant Flavor, Unpleasant Aftertaste, Unappealing Or Flat Aroma
