I really did not know what to expect from the Eight O'Clock Brand. And I can be picky about Hazelnut flavors, anyway. I had to chose *something", was out of ideas, so this was it. I have not been disappointed! It's actually fairly decent pod coffee. I would consider it a more Medium strength than my preferred Light Blend and the substantial hazelnut flavor evens out the more bitter, for lack of a better word, taste I always get as an aftertaste get from the darker-ish blended coffees. IMHO, if one likes Med. flavor pods and Hazelnut flavoring, you'll probably like this. And, The Price Is Right, lol.
