Good roast / bad seal

This is my favorite coffee but I can't recommend it because the seals leak which not only leaves grounds in the coffee it sprays the coffee on the counter.
The last 2 boxes of Itialian Roast had defective K Kups. The foil seal comes loose and water and grounds go everywhere. None of the other flavors I use have this problem.
This is one of my favorite K-cups that I have discovered so far. It has a rich, slightly smokey, & bold flavor that pleases my palette and an aroma to draw you to the cup. It could brew a touch stronger on the large (8oz?) cup size, but all could for my taste.
This coffee is delicious, lots of flavor without the bitterness of a french roast( which I also enjoy). The #1 issue is I have brewed half a dozen of these and every single one has had the seal break during brewing and then leaks all over my brewer and my countertop, leaving coffee and grinds for me to clean up afterwards.This has never occured with any other kcup I have purchased before but I am apparently one of a vast majority after reading reviews. I do have to say, I called keurig on this since I order through keurig.com and they are sending me a new box. Now I wonder if I should have replaced it with something else because I fear I will have problems with the next box too. Tully's when are you going to fix this????
Pros: Exceptional/Interesting Flavor, Not Bitter, Balanced Acidity, Pleasing Aroma
The seal on the K-cups leaked more often than not. When I would use a k-cup that didn't leak, the coffee tasted great. More often than not, I'd get a k-cup that leaked, there were coffee grounds and water everywhere, including outside of the machine and everywhere inside, making a big mess. The coffee that actually made it to the mug was full of grounds.
I love the flavor, they just can be a mess to make. I took the advice of another reviewer and I load the pod, allowing it to be punctured, open my machine, press the excess air out, then continue on. So it's a total pain (thus the 3 Star and not recommending it) but the coffee is delicious.
