The first time I purchase this i thought it was a bit pricey yet after tasting it......aaahhhh it became my "go to Kcup". The flavor is full but not bitter or strong. Nor is it a weak body coffee. If your looking for taste above Breakfast Blends but not over powering. This is for you. Have a great day!!
Pros: Smooth Taste, A Perfect Medium Dark, Not Bitter, Exceptional/Interesting Flavor, Pleasing Roast, Attractive Mouthfeel/Body, Balanced Acidity, Rich flavor, Pleasing Aroma
I was very disappointed in the flavor lacking from a "dark" roast. Yes, it is noted as "medium-dark". I've had other "medium-dark" roasts from other brands with much more flavor. Will NOT by this one again.
I used to use a French Press with Columbian coffee I freshly ground every day, and got the Keurig brewer simply for a fast cup of coffee and the convenience of easy clean up on workdays. I was really disappointed in the flavor of the coffees, and have tried nearly EVERY variety offered by Keurig, and also my preferred brand of coffee in the My K Cup. None were strong and flavorful enough - even when I PACKED the MY K Cup very full, and found that most of the "BOLD" roasts simply tasted burned (dark roasts), not rich and flavorful. The Barista Prima Columbia has changed my mind! It is rich, flavorful, pleasantly bitter and it stands up to having a little honey and cream added to it (which is how I like my usual coffee). I actually brewed a cup this morning (a weekend morning) instead of my usual routine of using the French Press on weekends! I do wish Keurig would also make a decaf version of this coffee - the only decaf Barista Prima is the Italian Roast and alas, it seems to have the burned flavor of all the dark roasts to me. Finally a coffee that really tastes life coffee to me! Good job Keurig!
