When I registered our new Platinum machine I was able to select 4 boxes for the price of 2. I knew we liked the extra bolds so I decided to give Emeril's a try (I was skeptical that it was just a marketing gimmick). This is my favorite extra bold, it just makes a delicious, rich and satisfying cup of coffee. I will purchase this again.
Experimenting with the coffees for my new Keurig, I was thrilled to come across this one, as all the others I've tried are OK, but not "incredible" like Emeril's. This is very strong, but amazingly smooth and flavorful. Best coffee I've had anywhere, and I'm a coffee snob.
Not so much a smoky flavor as a burned flavor. Sour and bitter notes mask any character. Taste like mud, and I say this even though I love a good strong and dark brew. Disappointing after reading such rave reviews.
Pros: Strong
Cons: Unbalanced Or Sharp Acidity, Burned taste, Unpleasant Flavor
I'm a true coffee lover who gave up on finding a cup of great coffee from this coffee maker until I found this blend.I always have prefered a bold, dark, yet sweet roast, but its few and far between blends that are just right, with or with out cream, sugar, black, however you like it. Every time I find it, it disappears from the market..PLEASE, never take it away from me! I'm too old to start the search again. :-) There is nothing wrong with it. Every night I look forward to the next morning's cup!
