In the past few years, I have become addicted to soda. When I try to go without it for a day, I get cranky and have headaches. I'm not into Red Bull or those other energy drinks. I want to cut out sugar and I don't want the fake sugar in diet drinks because I can feel it in my joints just after a few days and it really ramps up the appetite. Others have suggested I try coffee or tea. In the past, I tried numerous teas and have not been able to find one I can stomach from a taste standpoint. As for coffee, I've always despised it (always seemed pungent and heavy to me). Anyhow, we were hosting Thanksgiving this year, and a lot of our family are coffee drinkers. We ended up purchasing a Keurig for them to use b/c we scored huge discounts and heard how much others loved it. Anyhow, I ended up trying a cup of Green Mountain's Hazelnut, and much to my surprise, I really like it! It is a little sweet and not "strong" like coffee drinkers are used to. This probably tastes watered down to aficionados, but it serves my purposes perfectly. I get my caffeine 1-2x per day and cut out most of the sugar and the badies from pop. Granted, with the hazelnut being sweet, I am sure there is some sugar in it, but at least nowhere near the amount of calories I was taking in while drinking pop. Over the past couple of weeks, the hazelnut has been sort of a bridge for me to transition to coffee. Now I just have to make sure I don't get addicted to coffee. Haha.
Pros: Some Sweetness In Flavor, Pleasing Aroma, Not Bitter
Cons: None for me
I would recommend this to a friend!

This was our favorite out of the sample pack that came with the brewer. The hazelnut flavor is strong and the coffee itself isn't bitter.
This is my favorite K-cup coffee. Some reviewers commented this tastes like hot water, but I think it's a matter of how strong you like your coffee. I think many of the K-cups are too strong and too bitter, so to me, this one has a pleasant hazelnut aroma, and a smooth subtle hazelnut flavor. I still think the best coffee is made from freshly ground beans, but I love the convenience of the Keurig. This is the only coffee from a K-cup that I feel doesn't need to be doctored up with a flavored creamer.
Pros: Pleasing Aroma, Smooth Taste, Not Bitter

Has a nice nutty flavor. I added a little sugar and milk and it was perfect. The smell has a litte bit off can't explain but almost smelled like corn chips :) Changed to a nutty smell after a couple of minutes. I would repurchase for sure.
Pros: Nice Nutty Flavor
Cons: Smells A Little Weird
I would recommend this to a friend!
