After living in Europe for twenty-five years my wife and I have grown quite particular about the coffee we want to drink. The brands we found closest to what we were used to were Dunkin’ Donuts (regular) and McCafé (which they also have in Europe). But when this Pick Me Up coffee was advertised at a bargain rate we thought we’d try it. I’m pleased to say that I especially liked the Breakfast Blend and my wife liked the Columbian. While a Keurig is not much like the coffee machines we were used to in Europe I’d have to say that it works well enough with these new coffees that we’re likely to keep drinking them. Whether or not you like them will no doubt depend on what you’re used to. But by all means give both the Columbian and Breakfast Blend a try!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In my home we are firm believers that coffee is an essential part of every day. We have tried it all amongst all the different machines. When we received the opportunity to try out the Pick Me Up Provisions Colombian Blend Medium Roast coffee from the Stellar Product Testing Panel we were all in. Upon arrival of the awaited for package I was quite pleased with the packaging. It's aesthetically pleasing and stands out on my pantry shelf (no accidentally losing it in the back!). Additionally the package has an intentional perforated aspect of the box so you can have easy access to the pods. (Don't worry my husband still ripped open the package like a barbarian but I was able to correct it and use the perforated area.) I've never opened a package where the pods were organized quite like this- they lay sideways- but it made it surprisingly easy to pull the out without worrying about anything shifting or falling out. The pods look like any other k-cup pods. I was a little disappointed because one of my pods was slit open (there was no damage to the box anywhere near this pod or anywhere at all) so there was a bit of ground coffee strewn about inside. However this gave it a nice coffee smell every time I got close. The coffee smelled great both in the pod and as it brewed and tasted great as well. The medium roast blend was very satisfying. Was it the best cup of coffee I have ever had? No. Was it a pretty solid cup of coffee especially for the price point? Absolutely. All in all it is a good value for your money and I would certainly be content to drink this coffee anytime. Extra bonus points since the K-Cup Pods are recyclable!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m a big medium roast coffee drinker so to have received this coffee blend from Stellar Review Panels to try for free I was very excited. Colombian coffee is usually very bold and bright so I was pleasantly surprised to find this blend very smooth. It has a great flavor combination for the morning and because it was silky it was very easy to want a second cup after my first each day!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I did not like this coffee at all. It was very bland. I tend to prefer my coffee medium strong with a nice rich flavor this did not have this. Furthermore I don’t like the k cups that come in the plastic containers - I much prefer to the recyclable ones that are biodegradable. I don’t want plastic leeching into my morning coffee. I received this product as part of the stellar product testing panel.
