Absolutely Horrible

This product was absolutely horrible. I initially thought it was some sort of problem with my machine so I cleaned it and then tried a different brand, which tasted great. When I tried the "Emeril's Bold- Big Easy" cup again, it was still horrible smelling and tasting. I tried adding excessive amounts of sugar to choke it down, and I still couldn't do it!
Cons: Unappealing Or Flat Aroma, Unpleasant Aftertaste, Unpleasant Flavor, Smells Like Pond Water, Unbalanced Or Sharp Acidity
I love this coffee. It's definitely not for the faint of heart. It reminds me of the coffee we had aboard ship in the Navy. I drink two cups of this in the morning and I'm good to go. Great aroma and flavor. Some will not like this and consider it too strong/acidic, but for those of us who grew up on strong coffee it's just right!
This is my favorite k-cup. However, they have started packaging different. It now comes in regular big easy bold (with the pic on the k-cup) and extra bold (no pic and it says extra bold). I love the regular and hate the extra bold. Make sure you know which one you are getting!
I love strong, dark roasts, especially Mahogany by Caribou and Dark Magic by Green Mountain. Thus I thought I would love this one too, but it is too acidic and bitter. I tried all three settings and none were truly good. I won't be buying this one again.
Pros: Pleasing Aroma
Cons: Unpleasant Aftertaste, Unpleasant Flavor, Unbalanced Or Sharp Acidity
I have a Keurig Elite brewer, and needed to find a bolder coffee to wake me up and get my day started. I saw in my local grocery store that Emeril's coffee now came in K-cups. I bought a box to try it out, and I was not disappointed. The aroma was pleasing to the nose, and the taste was exceptional. Also as in the past with other K-cups I did not need to use the lowest setting to get the strength I needed to wake up! I now ordered a 24 count box on the Keurig website, and can't wait for it to come!
This is a strong, flavorful k-cup! I like strong coffee, and this one makes me happy. This is a bold coffee that gives you a great lift in the morning or afternoon. Bam! Emeril does it again!
Pros: Pleasing Aroma, Exceptional/Interesting Flavor, Balanced Acidity, Not Bitter
