This has a good flavor, but it is more flavor than coffee. I like coffee with a hint of flavor. This is flavor with a hint of coffee. It was a little too sweet for me, but other family members enjoyed it.
Your pod will be totally empty (like a hot cocoa pod) after use. It's not a brewed coffee like the other coffee pods. That said, it's really quite good. The pod contains a creamer so no additions are needed for your cup. I'll probably buy more, but I really do hate to stick around after brewing to use a rinse pod after something like hot apple cider, hot cocoa, or this. Also makes these drinks more expensive.
