I first bought Daybreak by Caribou simply because the box caught my attention and I had never heard of Caribou before... What a pleasant surprise! It's now the one cup I always need to have in my rack. It's my standard to evaluate other cups... it's just THAT good. I've gave some to friends for them to taste and they are hooked too!
I got my laugh for the day reading some of these reviews. Just had to say that. Insipid...awful...bark. People can be creative. My two cents: boiled leather. Now I haven't had the opportunity to taste boiled leather, but I'd venture to guess it tastes like this coffee. Here at work, the last person that ordered coffee just got those rated as "popular" or said eeny meeny miney mo, catch a coffee... Now that I'm ordering coffee, I ask if anyone has preferences and also read the reviews.Yeah it takes me a day of work to complete the task--or two days when the website inevitably screws up. WEBPAGE EXPIRED. Yeah that one--usually not good news. So I had to call and hope that somehow the Keurig rep had my cart somewhere in there. NOPE. Anyway, this is for reviews isn't it...The universal brands here are Caribou (the regular green one) and Nemman's Extra Bold. Thank goodness they come in the 80 ct box. It makes it nice for me because I can order coffees to sample, and choose the best ones to order for home. Heh heh--I also can get the ones I like at work. Hey, It's not good when you order a box of coffee and hate it. My go to is Van Houtte French Roast. Delicious ---like fine restaurant coffee.But some people here like this one, so I order it. I agree with other reviewers that you can like a coffee a lot, then order three boxes more, and it isn't the same.I also like the Dark Magic on a large mug. Okay, I'm going on. To make a long story short---awful, insipid boiled leather bark...
Cons: Not Enough Flavor, Thin Or Watery Mouthfeel/Body, Unappealing Or Flat Aroma, Roasted Too Light, Unpleasant Flavor
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

BEAUTIFULLY BALANCED LIGHT ROAST COFFEE

This coffee is a perfect light bodied roast. it is a light roast, so of you are an avid bold or espresso drinker, please don't buy, for you will review it with a negative review and that would not be fair to this light coffee delight. It starts With a rich aroma and then has a richness in taste to the tongue, and works its way with a citrus and floral finish in the end. it's a little light roast gem of a coffee.
Has a leftover pot of coffee taste....not great. Good in a pinch. Decent as a wake up cup.
Cons: Unpleasant Aftertaste
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have tried quite a few coffees; this is absolutely my favorite. I drink it all the time but lately it has been "Out of Stock" and don't know what I will do since my stock is running low.
Pros: Pleasing Roast, Not Bitter, Attractive Mouthfeel/Body, Pleasing Aroma
I would recommend this to a friend!

Light and unsubstantial

I've heard a lot of good things about Caribou coffee so I was a little let down by this coffee. It tasted far too weak and watery to me, without any real, defining flavor. I did realize this was a breakfast blend, and that's I how I used it, but it made little impact as far as taste and interest go. If a person preferred a light, unobtrusive coffee, this would be a good choice, but I was expecting more.
Pros: Not Bitter, Smooth Taste
Cons: Thin Or Watery Mouthfeel/Body, Not Enough Flavor, Roasted Too Light
