Exceeds Expectations!

I am fairly new to the Keurig coffee system, and was initially attracted to it because I love the concept of a FRESH, PERFECTLY BREWED cup o' joe every day, instead of the diminishing returns of the pound bag and trad brewer. I was hooked by the difference in the freshness overall. Initially I had a few large boxes of 80 cups from[...], which I had just finished and was ready to sample the wares of other k-cups with a vengeance!I agree with those who say that a lot of the k-cups produce a watery brew -- sort of like the coffee taste evaporates abreuptly in hyur mouth instead of fading away like a pleasant memory.I read the reviews for this cup and figured I would be in synch with the other coffee snobs who dared to take the plunge before me and resolved to try it --- And the coffee snobs were right! It is by far the best cup I have tasted so far (probaby have tried half of what's out there). How do they manage to make such a rich and exciting cup that is so smooth and velvety on the tongue and isn't bitter? For the coffee snob I am, not only do I want my brewed perfectly, and to have impeccable flavor, I want complexity, different layers of flavor -- and this delivers without being "winey" which I find a turn-off.Like a fellow coffee snob mentioned, I shared the concern that the Emeril tag was all marketing and feared it might be one of the worst cups out there. Au contraire, Emeril deserves kudos for taking his coffee seriously and putting his name on such an exceptional blend. I, too, feel I have found my cup and will definitely keep ordering it in the future! Exceeded my expectations by far!
I have tried over 40 flavors, and this one is the best by a long shot. If you truly look for a coffee with full bodied flavor, this one won't let you down.
We like strong coffee at our house. Gangster coffee is what our friends call it. This one is perfect for us. You know you've had a cup of coffee when you drink this.
