This coffee had absolutely no flavor! I tried making this coffee many different ways and still no flavor. My husband and son thought the same. Very disappointed and it has such good reviews.
The very first time I tried this, I hated it. I thought it was too spicy and did not like the flavor. I had an entire box, therefore I had to use it. Every cup since that first one I have LOVED! It's not supposed to have any pumpkin flavor (only cinnamon and nutmeg) and its a very light flavor (perfect for me!). I can't drink regular coffee now (too plain) because of this stuff! Because it's seasonal I needed to make sure I had it all year round so I bought a huge box of 80. Can't wait for it to come back next year! Yum!
I love pumpkin flavored coffee in the winter and was hoping I could something to rival Starbucks pumpkin spice flavor, but this flavor does not even come close. I tend to prefer light-medium roasts but this tastes like lightly flavored water. The pumpkin flavor smells good, but tastes very artificial and leave an unpleasant aftertaste. Also, this flavor does NOT work as an iced drink, because any flavor that was present is diluted easily by ice. Tolerable to drink when it's hot and if you stir in some pumpkin spice creamer, but otherwise it is not worth it. Wish I didn't have a whole box to go through.
Pros: Pleasing Aroma
Cons: Not Enough Flavor, Thin Or Watery Mouthfeel/Body, Roasted Too Light, Unpleasant Aftertaste
I have tried about 30-40 K-Cup varieties and this remains my all time favorite! I love the fact that it has great spicy flavor but that it isn't sweet as I don't like sweetened coffee. I wish it was available all year instead of being just a seasonal variety since I don't like buying a large quantity all at once to last me through the year. Also, even in season, it's frequently out of stock.
Pros: Balanced Acidity, Good Spicy Flavor, Not Bitter, Pleasing Aroma, Smooth Taste, Exceptional/Interesting Flavor, Not Sweet, Pleasing Roast
We just bought a brewer and have been loving it. We ordered several different coffees to try. The pumpkin spice is one of my daughter's favorite "coffee house" coffees. It was great the first time she made it but the second time she said it was awful. She thought maybe she did something wrong and made another, same results. Next I made one and lowered the cup size, same results, I couldn't get to the sink fast enough to spit it out. It seems that there may be a quality control issue since we had a good experience and several bad ones in the same box of k-cups. We have alot left also, don't know whether to try them or not. It's like you're flushing dollar bills down the sink. I would be very leery of buying again until you could be assured of the quality. (All of the other flavors have been fine so it's not the machine)
Cons: Not Enough Flavor, Unpleasant Flavor, Thin Or Watery Mouthfeel/Body, Unpleasant Aftertaste
