Toothsome cup with intriguing flavor overtones Love it. Unlike other dark coffees that bash you over the head repeatedly with the same flavor note, this coffee will not leave your tastebuds reeling. Though strong and undeniably rugged, it is also surprisingly mellow. I tend to favor the Emeril's Big Easy and Emeril's French Roast (another two of the best cups imho) for on-the-go crunchtime while Mahogany is my go-to cup for play time. It's a great companion to life's more enjoyabe moments like good conversation with friends or while reading the paper on the weekend. This is not a cup to gulp; it's definitely a cup to savor.
I like my coffee dark, dark, dark! I've used a french press for the last 10 years and I was "skeptical" about K-cups...What a surprise!!! I LOVE it! I don't think Starbucks can hold a candle to some of these K-cups...especially Mohogany! It's a wonderful coffee. I also enjoy Black Tiger, Jet Fuel, VanHoutte French Roast.
I've been sampling coffee for many years now and after receiving a Keurig for my birthday, I've been trying various k-cups. When I initially ordered, I studied all of the reviews online and tried to get the best of the best. Of all the coffee blends that I've tried so far, the Mahogany Blend by Caribou provides the smoothest, bold, rich taste without bitterness or after-taste. I've been spoiled by Starbucks all these years and I could definitely be content with a cup or two of this instead every day. There are very few blends out there that in my mind, could compare to the mixture of molasses, spices and semi-sweet chocolate hints that are in this blend. If this was a wine...you'd be paying over $100 for a bottle :) Enjoy!!!
Pros: Attractive Mouthfeel/Body, Exceptional/Interesting Flavor, Smooth Taste, Not Bitter
This is my favorite so far. Tried Jet Fuel(a second choice of mine), Black Tiger, Wake Up, Van Houte Eclipse(another second choice), Tullys, Green Mountain, Rainforest Espresso.... and a few others. Mahogany has the best aroma and flavor of the bolds. Low acidity and bitterness. Just rich, savory goodness.
