Out of the four different box's I ordered when I bought the coffee maker I was looking forward to ordering and trying a lot of different coffee's. That plan went out the window when I tasted this brand. I won't be ordering anything else but this, it's that good. Most coffee taste weak to me but not this one, can even get two cups out of it.
Pros: Pleasing Roast, Exceptional/Interesting Flavor, Pleasing Aroma, Not Bitter, Attractive Mouthfeel/Body, Smooth Taste, Bold taste for decaf
I used to go to the coffeehouse across the street and spend $$$ on a small iced mocha coffee. [...] Long story short, I have been searching high and low for an easy way to make espresso-grade coffee at the office just to eat into their profits. I've had my Keurig and didn't use it that much because most of the blends were too weak for milk let alone ice. Now I can make my iced mocha in the office. Who knew saving money could taste so good!
For a special treat I use one scoop "smooth and dreamy" 1/2 fat vanilla bean ice cream as creamer it is divine to the 9 oz coffee. Cools it down quick for morning travel drinking, better than other creamers for taste. I use this coffee maker everyday and more than once on my days off. I was a a coffee shop regular! It is a wonderful invention!
Of all the K-cups I've sampled, this is the only one that caused me to stop and make note of its name. I don't know if this is what the experts would say, but I got a real European coffee house flavor from it. With this coffee, I have stopped sampling - I've found a clear favorite I will re-order every time.
I have been trying all different types of coffee since I picked up my brewer 2 weeks ago, and this is my favorite so far. I love it. I add FF milk & Equal to all of my coffees, so I can't say how it would be black. My personal preference is any extra-bold coffee with complex flavors. Other favorites so far include Tully's Kona Blend and Timothy's Rainforest Espresso.
