Good, strong, earthy french roast.

I've been on a search for the best french roast K-cups and this is the best (according to my tastes). Before K-cups, I shopped for fresh roasted french roast at a wonderful coffee roaster outlet. Starbucks is the only K-cup french roast that comes close to that real earthy aroma and flavor. I'll still use the MY K-CUP to brew freshly ground, but Starbucks french roast is great for the quick cup in the morning.
I love strong-bold coffee, so I thought this would be my best choice. unfortunately; this coffee is so bitter and packs such an acidic bite that it is far to hard to enjoy. I guess, for now, I'll be sticking with the great tasting-slightly under powered Dark Magic Extra Bold from Green Mountain Coffee.
In a way, I'm sorry I ever got the Starbucks French Roast K-Cups. Now every other K-Cup with the exception of Starbucks Verona & Tullys French Roast tastes like recycled coffee flavored water. So much for my beloved Black Tiger and Organic from Coffee People. So much for Double Black Diamond and Dark Magic. Starbucks French Roast is the REAL deal!
This coffee has too much of a bitter after tase for my liking.. It's intense. I want to try the Verona & see if it's any better. I wouldn't enjoy this as my everyday coffee.
