I love Nantucket Blend, but after going through an 80 cup pack I was ready to try something new. I chose the VCB after reading the reviews. I really don't care for it - it has a smokey flavor (to me) along with an odd sourish aftertaste. My husband hasn't tried it but I suspect he's really going to like it. We usually have differing tastes in coffee. (One more reason I love my Keurig - we both get what we want every time.)
I love a good cup of coffee in the mornings, and this one delivers. It is smooth, pleasant, with no bitterness or acidity. It's not too bold, and not too weak. It's the perfect cup of coffee any time of the day.
I am on a quest to find the best medium roast for my taste. This is without doubt one of the finest coffees available on this site or anywhere else. Beautiful balance, flavorful and balanced with a smooth finish.
Being an "extra bold" coffee lover, I found this coffee quite good for a medium roast. Good aroma with good taste. After all, isn't that what we all are looking for ? The only thing that would make it better for me is to make it in an extra bold strength. Most should enjoy this coffee...to me it is best served as an afternoon of desert coffee.
Cons: Unpleasant Flavor, Thin Or Watery Mouthfeel/Body, Unpleasant Aftertaste, Roasted Too Light, Unappealing Or Flat Aroma, Unbalanced Or Sharp Acidity
