If you love a good, strong, complex cup of coffee, this is DEFINITELY the decaf for you. By far the best decaf I've ever had, and pretty darn close to the best coffee I've ever had. But I do like coffee very strong and full-bodied, so if you're into light roasts, this is not for you. I thought it was noticeably superior to the Barista Prima Italian Roast decaf, which is good, but more smooth and less complex. Comparable to the Tully's French Roast decaf, which is also very good, but this is better. Much better even than the Starbucks decaf you pay three bucks for in the store, which always tastes burnt and bitter. This is truly amazing coffee, and since each cup is sealed, EVERY cup of coffee tastes like the first one out of a fresh bag. Mmmm. I love my Keurig, and I love this K-cup. Hope they continue to make it.
Decaf gets the dregs when it comes to care in making a great tasting and strong flavored brew. Dunkin Donuts ruins Decaf with the weird acidity thing it has going on, Port City Java makes it watery, as do many others...or sour tasting. This one reminds me of a good Starbucks blend of decaf. I had been buying the Coffee House brand of K cups, as they were the better choice over many, but I was adding a half packette of Via to give it more umph for early day brews. THis brew doesn't need it. GREAT cup of coffee!
It's really hard to find decaf coffee with flavor comparable to regular coffee. It's even harder to find a dark roast decaf. Green Mountain Dark Magic is perfect whether you want a cup of hot coffee or a glass of iced coffee.
No way anyone could tell this is decaf! Bold, rich, a little on the tart side, but that's what you'd sometimes expect with a bold dark roast coffee. Fantastic with cream. Great for evening to wind down for the night without worrying about staying up with the nocturnals!
