Keurigs are great, hands down but most of the coffee is light or watery tasting and you have to use 2 to sometimes get a decent cup of jo. I was hoping Starbucks would come out with something decent and they did! You don't get any watered down feeling or taste, its just like your at a Starbucks! Good job and Thanks!
Pros: Very strong flavortaste, Not for the faint hearted, Attractive Mouthfeel/Body, Taste after cup is empty, Exceptional/Interesting Flavor, Almost like an expresso
This is my favorite fresh brew coffee so I am delighted that it is finally available for the keurig machine! Tastes just like it was made in a coffee pot, which is not like some of the other Kcups. I love strong coffee!!
In Starbucks stores, Caffe Verona is my favorite coffee but I haven't been able to find it around here yet. I've tried Starbucks Sumatra and French Roast. To me, the Sumatra isn't anything special but the French Roast is by far the best coffee I've tried in my Keurig. I drink it black and like it bold. I'll take a cup of Starbucks French Roast from the Keurig over a cup of Pike Place from the store any day.
I usually love Starbucks coffee, but for me this one has such a strong, bitter after taste. I prefer my coffee dark roast and I know that you can get a great cup of dark roast coffee without the bitter and lingering after taste. This one isn't it for you if that's what your looking for. When I am done drinking my coffee, I dont want my breath to smell as bad as someone that smokes cigarettes.. This is the feeling I get from this coffee.
Pros: Pleasing Aroma
Cons: Unbalanced Or Sharp Acidity, Unpleasant Aftertaste
