My wife cosumed the other 3 samples. French roast blends are never my favorite, but that is what she left me. This blend reminded me of a fast food pour...a little bitter, and a little flat. Keurig, this concept of having customers sample new blends is an excellent idea. I wish I had a better review for you on this one. It may help readers to calibrate their tastes to the person writing the review, so I'll add that my favorite blend is GM Nantucket and I don't care much for flavored blends. Hope this helps.
Pros: Pleasing Aroma
Cons: Unbalanced Or Sharp Acidity, Unpleasant Flavor
Got a free sample pack sent to me from Keurig. Out of the four included, this was my least favorite. The coffee had a bitter taste, a bit too strong for my liking. I like dark roast coffee but I wasn't very impressed by this one. The Italian roast of the Barista Prima line is much better.
This was way too strong for me. It was slightly bitter and had an unappealing after taste. I wouldn't enjoy this on a daily basis but only occasionally. I use creamer and it was still a little too potent for me. But the person who totally LOVES very strong coffee ( and I know a few) this would be ideal.
