Wonderful, rich, flavorful

I was looking for a naturally decaffeinated coffee, and this coffee fits the bill in a tasty, pleasing way. This coffee is rich-tasting with a great aroma, yet I can enjoy it any time of day without any sleep issues. Love it! It's the one I prefer and will actually go out of my way to buy it.
I like a balanced cup of coffee... not weak, but not too strong either, and definitely not bitter. I expect a smooth, rich taste with balanced acidity. I expect a decaf coffee that's NOT chemically processed to remove the caffeine. With the advent of a natural water process to remove caffeine, it's now possible to have a great cup of decaf without potentially harmful chemicals. Being new to Keurig, I ordered every (yes, I tried them ALL) available K-cup that is naturally decaffeinated in order to test them and find the best. The result? In my book, CARIBOU BLEND NATURAL DECAF COFFEE is the winner hands down. The others all had major issues: one was too weak, another was too strong, and another was bitter. If you're looking for the same as me, give Caribou a try. You'll find it to be a great cup of coffee. Furthermore, except for the lack of a caffeine jolt to your system, the aroma and taste is so good that you can't tell you're drinking a decaf coffee. Hey Caribou, I love you! :)
This so far is my favorite Decaf coffee. I have tried Timothy's, Tully's House Blend & Hazelnut. People who like the regular Caribou Blend (like I do) will not be disappointed in the Decaf version. It still has a nice medium flavor, where some decaf versions are too light. It also is not bitter, like some other decafs I've found.
Pros: Exceptional/Interesting Flavor, Not Bitter, Pleasing Aroma, Pleasing Roast
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best cup of decaf

I've tried them all and Caribou is the best cup of decaf. I love the smooth flavor and I don't miss the caffeine at all.
I recently purchased a Keurig and wasn't sold on any of the sample K-cups included. I purchased nine different 5 pack boxes to find a few I really liked. One of the boxes turned out to be Caribou Blend Decaf, which I ordered by mistake, as I normally drink regular. This morning I already had my morning buzz of caffeine so thought I'd give this a try. What a surprise...it was really very good! It's rich, earthy and smooth and quite full bodied. It's strong enough to handle the large mug option without diluting the flavor. I don't think I'd guess this was decaf if I didn't already know. Think I'll keep ordering this for times when I want a cup in the evening and still be able to sleep. I highly recommend this blend.
Seriously folks, this is just about as good as it gets for any coffee, let alone decaf. The mouth feel is like honey and smooth as silk. Not bitter, great balance, good from start to finish. Perfect for making half-caffs or for that late afternoon cup at work just before you go home.
I have been ordering Caribou Decaf for years. It doesn't leave an aftertaste, it is smooth. If one large serving is too strong, take out the pod, shake it a little and turn to another point and rebrew.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I usually drink caffeinated coffee, but once and a while I choose decaf. This is a very good decaf. Not to strong, not too weak.
Pros: Pleasing Roast, Pleasing Aroma, Not Bitter, Smooth Taste
