Surprisingly good

I have to admit I was a little biased against this coffee before I even tried it. I am usually not a fan of anything associated with celebrity chefs, but this coffee was a pleaser. My very first sip I thought it was too weak, but then the flavors developed. By the third sip I was thinking "This is good". Not much in the way of coffee aroma but I will take taste over aroma anyday. Glad I tried it, I will probably be ordering more.
The sample that came with my Keurig was a little strong but very good. Then I bought some at [@]and it taste very strong and leaves an after taste. The date is still good printed on the box. I had read this same comment before I bought it but I still went on ahead and bought some. I probably won't buy it locally but might try some directly from Keurig.
When I was brewing this, my wife asked "has someone been smoking in the house?" Yes, this coffee has the aroma and taste of cigarettes.. not pleasant at all. Very bold, but not in a good way.
This is the best coffee I've ever had in a K-Cup. Mix it with some International Delight French Vanilla creamer and it really doesn't get any better. The only one that comes close is the Wolfgang Puck French Roast. Of course I haven't tried all the K-cups, but this one is the runaway favorite at the moment. Just bought two 24-packs!
