The only added comment I have is to strongly agree with a previous reviewer's, which is to puncture the K-cup IN THE CENTER before brewing. A small puncture with the very tip of a knife or a skewer will do it. This needs to be done in the center of the K-cup's top where the brewer will also puncture it; otherwise, you will make things worse as the pressurized coffee will be forced up and out, instead of down into the cup as the coffee brews, and you will have a countertop flood on your hands. Also, after making the puncture, very gently press the top foil of the K-cup to coax the nitrogen out; press with excess force and you will force ground coffee out. (These two qualifications come from experience!) It's a small bother, but we like this coffee enough to do it.
If you like bold, smooth tasting coffee, than Tullys Italian is for you. The aroma is wonderful! I have read that some people have had these kcups explode, but I have never experienced that and I have used several large boxes of Tullys Italian Roast. Absolutely LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!
My husband and I are huge Coffee fans and when we came across an Italian Roast, we were sold. The coffee itself tastes wonderful, great flavor and perfect roast. The down side is almost every other K-Cup would explode when I would make my coffee. At first I thought my machine was having issues, but then spoke to my sister who purchased the same Italian Roast and she had the same problem. The coffee would come out the sides,down my coffee cup and spill over all over my countertops, not good. If they could correct the issue with the K-Cup exploding all over the place, then this would be the perfect fit. Until then, I will continue to search for the perfect K-Cup.
This coffee tastes and smells great; although, I've had several K-cups break the seal while brewing and spill coffee and grounds all over the place. If they could fix that problem (I found more than half of the K-cups in the 4 boxes I recently bought has this problem), I would rank this as my favorite. Unfortunately, until they identify and fix this problem, I cannot recommend this coffee.
