Too weak for my taste

Tastes way too thin and diluted even when I use the smallest cup selection on my Keurig coffeemaker. It's a shame because what little taste there is seems lovely.
Pros: Not Bitter, Balanced Acidity, Smooth Taste
Cons: Thin Or Watery Mouthfeel/Body, Not Enough Flavor
Caribou decaf has very good flavor, something I've struggled to find in a decaf. It is tasty in the small and large cup brews (my brewer has only two K-cup sizes), which has been difficult to find. It also is not bitter.
Pros: Not Bitter, Smooth Taste, Balanced Acidity, No after taste, Attractive Mouthfeel/Body
Seriously folks, this is just about as good as it gets for any coffee, let alone decaf. The mouth feel is like honey and smooth as silk. Not bitter, great balance, good from start to finish. Perfect for making half-caffs or for that late afternoon cup at work just before you go home.
I recently purchased a Keurig and wasn't sold on any of the sample K-cups included. I purchased nine different 5 pack boxes to find a few I really liked. One of the boxes turned out to be Caribou Blend Decaf, which I ordered by mistake, as I normally drink regular. This morning I already had my morning buzz of caffeine so thought I'd give this a try. What a surprise...it was really very good! It's rich, earthy and smooth and quite full bodied. It's strong enough to handle the large mug option without diluting the flavor. I don't think I'd guess this was decaf if I didn't already know. Think I'll keep ordering this for times when I want a cup in the evening and still be able to sleep. I highly recommend this blend.
Many times decaf coffee loses flavor - but this one does not disappoint. We love the original Caribou, and this decaf one is very similar to the regular - yum. Great for times when you want a rich cup of coffee without the caff.
