I'm a slow starter in the morning so this is the first thing I reach for. I do add 1% milk to add a little creamy taste. I'm reminded of that line of Pierce Brosnan's in the movie 'The Thomas Crown Affair'..."Do you wanna dance? Or do you wanna dance?" If I'm gonna drink coffee, I wanna drink coffee. THIS is coffee.
Pros: Pleasing Aroma, Robust, Smooth Taste, Balanced Acidity, STRONG BUT NOT BITTER, Pleasing Roast, Exceptional/Interesting Flavor, Attractive Mouthfeel/Body
I love this coffee. I like my coffee strong! This is a very strong coffee. Most cups I have used I have to use on a smaller cup setting and feel like Im not getting my moneys worth. This cup I can use on my biggest setting and it still has a kick. Which I love!! Way too strong for my husband but he drinks what I call muddy water. One of my favorite so far!!!!
This is one of two k-cups I've tried that I did not like at all. I felt it was somewhat bitter almost burnt tasting. But was as described being bold in flavor.
Cons: Unbalanced Or Sharp Acidity, Unpleasant Aftertaste, Unpleasant Flavor
The sample pack that arrived with my Christmas K cup brewer contained this coffee. I ordered another 24 k cups based on the original sample which exploded taste and had whopper subtleties and aftertaste hints of spice. What I received was 24 ordinary tasting hardly bold coffee, something you would pass off to a tea drinking grandma, with no redeeming hints or undertones whatsoever, even when brewed on the small setting. Don't bother.
Pros: Pleasing Roast, Smooth Taste, Not Bitter
Cons: Unappealing Or Flat Aroma, Not Enough Flavor, Roasted Too Light
