Love This Flavored Coffee

I love this coffee! It is a perfect roast and has a nice subtle flavor. I am very sensitive to dark roasts and caffeine. I was delighted to see some flavored, light roast, decaf coffees available. I would love to see more flavored decaf selections.
For my taste, Green Mountain's French Vanilla Decaf was sufficiently infused with the french vanilla flavor and aroma, but lacked the substantial coffee flavor that I prefer. The color was a bit on the light side when brewed using the 10oz size, which is what I typically use. The resulting beverage was more like a cup of french vanilla with coffee undertones, rather than a cup of coffee infused with vanilla. Granted, decaf coffees generally lack the body and richness of caffeinated coffee, but this was light even by decaf standards. If Green Mountain used a bolder/richer variety of coffee, I think it would have been much more satisfying for my palate. Overall, a decent cup, but not outstanding.
Pros: Not Bitter, Balanced Acidity, Pleasing Aroma
Cons: Not Enough Flavor, Roasted Too Light, Thin Or Watery Mouthfeel/Body
Doctors told me I would "never" be able to drink decaf coffee again, even though I've done so most of my life. I was given a Keurig Brewer for Christmas 2010 and tried several sample packs. I was able to tolerate and "enjoy" French Vanilla Decaf K-cup coffee. [...]
I use it mostly in the afternoon because it's decaf and would not affect my goodnight sleep. At the same time, I enjoy it's pleasing aroma and smooth taste.
By far the best decaf in the k-cups. I have tried other varieties and this is the one I drink on a daily basis. I have never had any problems with the k-cups either. I would definitely recommend this coffee.
Pros: Smooth Taste, Exceptional/Interesting Flavor, Not Bitter
I enjoy the flavor of this decaf. My husband and I generally like Green Mountain coffee. I recently switched to this flavor as my usual every day decaf cup (or 2-3). I brew on travel mug size, so at times I wish it were a bit stronger in coffee flavor. My last shipment, I ordered several boxes and most are leaving grounds in my cup when brewing... sometimes a teaspoon full of grounds. I have to filter them out of my cup with a tea strainer. We order several flavors and brands for variety and haven't noticed this problem consistently in any others. Not sure what in the manufacturing or quality of these particular k-cups causes this, but I hope that the problem is corrected soon.
