Better than "coffee house" coffees

These Barista Prima coffees are the best Keurigs I have tasted. The Columbia and Italian are my favorites. I prefer these to the "coffee house" coffee I am used to buying.
Columbian has always been my favorite. I've tried several of the other K-Cup brands available, but keep coming back to the Barista Prima Coffeehouse brand. It is slightly more expensive, but, if you are a Columbian coffee drinker, it is worth the extra cost!
This is a coffee you sit and sip and enjoy. You need to savor it. It is smooth and rich and a perfect end of day zen moment. Barista Prima is a great new addition to the Keurig family! All are great!
Handle with care, just a note that this K cup packs more caffeine than your regular K cup. I usually use the medium size cup for the other K cups, for this one the largest setting works best for me. I can only handle 1 large cup for my morning java--I love it, but the caffeine was a little over whelming.
This was advertised as a light roast but in reality is a French roast or Expresso roast. A very burnt taste with a bitter aftertaste. I will probably throw this coffee away.
Given that this offering is part of Green Mountain's Barista Prima line "in the tradition of Europe's most celebrated coffeehouses" and as such is more expensive than the others, I was expecting a top-notch coffeehouse experience. What I got was an average, decent cup o' joe. Don't get me wrong. It's good; well-balanced with low acidity. It just doesn't have that "wow" factor.
Pros: Balanced Acidity, Attractive Mouthfeel/Body, Not Bitter
Great taste! I have been trying a lot of different kinds of roasts and brands on the website and none compare to this one. I would definitely order this one again and again.
