Clogs the top needle

I enjoy a dark roast coffee, and this coffee isn't my favorite, but it is a decent dark roast. My main issue with the coffee, is that it clogged the top needle. With other keurig k-cups, I only occasionally need to run a water cycle and clean the exit needle. Today I spent hours trying to descale the brewer and only getting less than a half ounce per cycle, when I realized the top needles were clogged, used a paper clip and loosened the clog. The amount of grounds that came out was very discouraging. I am reluctant to use the rest of these k-cups.
I was excited to try this based on reviews, but I cannot even drink the coffee. It just makes one bad cup of coffee and tastes horrible! Maybe I had a bad roast blend, but it even smells bad. Wasted my money on this one.
Cons: Unpleasant Aftertaste, Unappealing Or Flat Aroma, Unpleasant Flavor
I tried a large mug 12 ounce of it and found it slightly bitter? Smaller quantities, 6 ounce are fine with me when I need a pick-me-up! I'm no pro, but know what I like and don't like.
Pros: Major Kick So Be Careful, Pleasing Aroma, Exceptional/Interesting Flavor
Medium cup hot and straight for a good balanced brew with a kick or strong over ice with half & half and sweetener of choice for a great warm weather refresher. Make a double for the road.
Pros: Balanced Acidity, Pleasing Aroma, Not Bitter, Attractive Mouthfeel/Body
I used this coffee for years in my regular Mr.Coffee machine and loved it so glad it has come out in k-cups,love the smell and taste thanks for making it available.
