A very satisfying morning brew

As with many varieties, there are mixed reviews of Mahogany. Not quite sure where the negatives are coming from, I find this a very satisfying cup of coffee to start the day. I do agree that the name Mahogany conjures up something far more substantial than what you get here, but I'm drinking the coffee and not the name. It is a very smooth brew with a nice earthy bottom to the flavors. In a large mug I brew an 8oz and 6oz and it comes out perfectly. Not as rich and powerful as one of the Sumatrans but a bit more robust than the Coffee Shop blend (that has a superior aroma). The only negative, and it is a minor one, the aroma while brewing is non-existent. That's fine because the resulting cup is satisfying, but there are some other K-Cups that fill the room with a smell that makes the clock slow down in anticipation of the completion of the brewing process. I have no hesitancy recommending this to somebody that is looking for a low acidity full flavored alternative to the common bold island varietals.
Pros: Smooth Taste, Balanced Acidity, Not Bitter, Attractive Mouthfeel/Body
I was very dissapointed with this one. It did not taste like a bold coffee should. More like a Maxwell House coffee. Not strong enough almost water down taste.
Pros: Smooth Taste, Pleasing Aroma
Cons: Not Enough Flavor, Thin Or Watery Mouthfeel/Body, Roasted Too Light
I was somewhat disappointed. With a name like "Mahogany" I expected a far more dramatic coffee, but the flavor was a bit "thin" for me, leaving me wondering; have I had my coffee yet?
Pros: Not Bitter, Balanced Acidity
Cons: Not Enough Flavor, Thin Or Watery Mouthfeel/Body, Roasted Too Light
I cannot get enough of this coffee. I have it in K-cups and also fresh ground for when I am making a large pot of coffee for a group. This is the best bold/full flavored coffee I have found. I enjoy it black or with cream. It has a nice smooth bold flavor without after taste in my opinion. OMG, it is just wonderful.
