I'm a long-time half-caff drinker, usually mixing Starbucks Sumatran with Decaf Sumatran beans. I'm new to to Keurig at home, with a K-Select machine and, for a brief trial, a K-15. I's trying to find a good half-caff without mixing anything myself. Alas, this can't be the one. Even brewed on the K-Slect's Strong setting, it has no reasonable coffee taste. Worst than Folger's on a bad morning.
These pods generate a pronounced “Burnt Smell”. Taste is ..... OK ? I flavor with one pump of a Torani syrup. Before y’all say “check your Settings/Filter/___ , I make cups from six or more other flavors of KCups, and Half Caff is ONLY one that produces that smell. I really like the Concept of ½ the caffeine, for sure !
This Half-Caff Is the best tasting coffee! More punch than decaf but with only 50% caffeine. I can't express how great this coffee tastes. You think it's full caffeine, but know you're not loading up on caffeine. Thank you Green Mountain. Super idea!
This has been the best coffee I have found since having to cut back on the caffeine. It does not have the decaf dull flavor at all and it has just the right amount of caffeine to make me feel like I have had a rich cup of coffee!!
