Full of spice!

I guess I was expecting my favorite seasonal "pumpkin spice latte" when I ordered these, so was a bit disappointed. The pumpkin flavor is definitely there, but it's a bit heavy on the spices (i.e. nutmeg).
First of all, let me say, I LOVE coffee and LOVE trying various flavors and brew strenghts. Second, I very seldom write a review, although I DO read them prior to purchasing new products. There are only 2 instances where a review is warranted, 'an exceptional product' or 'a waste of money'. Unfortunately, this one is the latter. This coffee has zero pumpkin and/or spice flavor, whether black or with cream and yes, I did know it was a 'light brew'. However, I didn't expect it to be flavorless, very much like a weak second cup using the same K-Cup. I have ordered from Keurig several times with great success, this being the first time I have been disappointed. Too bad they have a 'no return' policy. The next time I see a 'Limited Edition' specialty coffee offered, I will purchase a smaller box elsewhere and sample it prior to ordering. And if anyone is offended by my comments, remember, they're mine and it's my money, no one elses.
Pros: None
Cons: Unappealing Or Flat Aroma, Just Plain Awful, Roasted Too Light, Tasteless Flavorless, Not Enough Flavor
I have had pumpkin spice coffee previous to this and I liked it then. Can't remember what brand. BUT it sure wasn't this one. Not a good experience at all.
I usually really like Green Mountain, especially their seasonals, but in my opinion this one is not good. It was a very watery mouth feel and the aroma is not very pleasing. The taste is ok, and actually gets better after a few sips......but I would not order this K-Cup again and I do no recommend it!
Cons: Thin Or Watery Mouthfeel/Body, Unappealing Or Flat Aroma, Roasted Too Light
After paying over 5 dollars for a pumpkin spice latte for my wife at Starbucks, I decided to buy this for her...we both tried it with milk, honey and cinammon on top, and we loved it.
