Perhaps I shouldn't have expected a stronger taste from a flavored/regular brew coffee, but I did. I added a touch of vanilla creamer and it helped a little, but the overall taste was still somewhat watery. Disappointing.
Pros: Pleasing Aroma
Cons: Not Enough Flavor, Thin Or Watery Mouthfeel/Body
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

When I first got my Keurig brewer, I was given a huge variety of K-Cups. This is one of my favorites and my daughter loves it, too. I will be purchasing more soon.
We normally buy Caramel Vanilla Cream flavour for our regular coffemake and it is wonderful. We were disappointed that the flavour did not equal the coffee made in a regular coffee pot. Hopefully this flavour issue will be corrected
Pros: Pleasing Aroma
Cons: Roasted Too Light, Thin Or Watery Mouthfeel/Body, Not Enough Flavor
The taste of this coffee is very distinctive. It tastes just like the filling in one of those boxed chocolates. I wish the flavor was stronger. The aroma is a little misleading, and the flavor isn't as strong. It's very good and easy to drink though. I'm buying my second box right now because we flew through the first one. I personally prefer Winter Carnival, but the boyfriend prefers this one. Fairly similar, really.
I drink my coffees depending on the characteristics of the brew itself. This particular flavor has its downsides and its upsides. With Cream / Sugar : I don't think it has enough flavor to stay solid with the C/S combination. To be honest, I feel like I'm getting the caramel-y vanilla SMELL but the TASTE of the C/S when I drink it this way. Defeats the purpose! Without Cream : Delicious. Eliminating the creamer allows the flavor to stand on its own and give it a little more "umph". I still add 3 sugar packets to this for my own sanity, but it does make a great cup of coffee w/o the sugar. It doesn't have that bitter aftertaste that some brews do when drinking it black.
