I usually do not like dark coffees, but I bought a 5 pack to try, and I love it! I will be ordering a 24 pack now! It is wonderful to be able to buy a small pack to see if you like it.
It is great to be able to drink one cup of excellent coffee & be satisfied rather than trying a few different blends & still looking for that perfect taste !
First of all, my compliments to Keurig for getting my order to me in less than 24 hours with just regular free shipping.Ordered yesterday, fed exed to me today. Wow! This was a new try for me and I do like it. It certainly does have a unique taste and aftertaste..smoky but not too acidic.Not unpleasant, but definitely different. I like it. I brewed it on the largest cup setting and enjoyed it with just cream. Not sure if it would be overpowering in the 8oz brew setting. I enjoy having the option of trying new flavors in the 5 k-cup sample size which is how I sampled this one. Not sure if I would buy an entire box of 24.
This is by far my favorite K-cup ever! I drink it black, on the large setting. It's a very complex coffee with great aroma and flavor. My very first cup every morning - I actually look forward to waking up an brewing a cup! Bottom line: my go-to K-cup for a consistently excellent cup of coffee.
I like this blend. I think that the idea of the name came first to the Green Mountain people and then this earthy, woodsy blend was conformed to the idea. I'd compare it to a doughnut shop blend, but stronger. I haven't had Emiril's in a while, but I think it's similar, but [and I'm going from memory here] Emiril lacks the roundness this has. Since some reviewers said this was like licorice or cigarettes, though I find that to be some really strange sensory malfunctions on their part, I'd suggest you order a sample first. This is one of my favorites, along with Newman's and Caribou.
I love this coffee. Very smooth flavor, but I think it's more for black coffee drinkers who appreciate a high-end coffee, which may account for some of the poor reviews. I also love all of the donut coffees and this is a little stronger, but comparable in smoothness! Will definitely buy more of this!
This coffee clogged my machine twice! The first time I thought it was my machine, so I descaled it. It worked fine while using other Keurig brands, but when I used the Lake & Lodge again, my machine again clogged and I had coffee grounds in my cup. I determined that it was from this brand - I think the grounds are very fine and thus not a fit with my machine. I ended up opening each k-cup, emptied them out and took the coffee to work where we have a "regular" coffee machine.
