Based on the reviews, I thought I would enjoy this coffee and I was happy to see that it's organic and fair trade. However, it has a very acidic aftertaste and it just seems to sit there at the back of the tongue. Because of that I would not recommend this brew.

I've been buying this blend for a couple years now. It's got a strong flavor (and I typically brew 12 oz from 1 pod) that's a little bitter, but I like it. However, something is wrong with the Kcups, which is why I'm leaving this review. For months now - it's January 2021 and since sometime around the summer of 2020 - I've had issues brewing with these pods. I brew a 12 oz or 10 oz and I end up without a full brew. I thought it was my machine. I descaled, and descaled, and descaled, and made sure to wipe all the parts down again and again and again, and rinsed, and descaled, etc. I decided to try a different coffee pod brand and yesterday I brewed a new pod. My 12 oz actually came out as 12 oz. I brewed a Newman's right after and it didn't fully brew. Today I again brewed a pod from the new brand and it brewed a full cup. What the heck! Turns out all these months the Newman's pods/coffee grinds are the issue! I'm not sure what changed since I didn't use to have this issue the first year, but I won't be buying Newman's pods anymore.

I just got a Keurig this past week and have been trying a variety of coffees, teas and cocoa. There is a lot of variety, which is nice, but so far only a few that I have tried have been real stand-outs. Newman's Special Blend Extra Bold is one of them. This coffee has a very smooth taste and great flavor - like you just poured a cup from a fully brewed pot. Most of the k-cup coffees I've tried have been weak or slightly off-tasting. I wont talk about the cocoa I tried here. That deserved its own review. However, this coffee, in addition to being organic, is really a great cup of joe. I have not yet enjoyed a better k-cup coffee. I highly recommend Newman's Own Extra Bold to those who enjoy rich tasting coffee.

Everything about this coffee makes me smile. I love drinking this coffee. I like it more than coffee bought brewed from a coffee shop. Try it just black or with a splash of half & half...NEVER ADD SUGAR! My only concern is the cheap K-cup, in which the foil top delaminates from the plastic cup and explodes coffee grounds all over the inside of my machine as well as in my cup. Nothing ruins an amazing cup of coffee like spending 20 minutes cleaning a machine before trying again.

I like strong bold flavored coffee and always drink it straight without sweetener/flavors or cream/milk etc. I first made a cup on the 6 oz setting and was surprised that I felt it was a little too strong. I switched to the 8 oz setting and this adjustment produced a rich flavored cup that I enjoyed. Made in a B70 platinum model.

This is one of the few K Cups we re-order. It has a nice full flavor and is not as weak and watery as many of the cups out there. I'm not a 'dark' coffee drinker but I do like my coffee to have some body to it. The darker roasts are generally too bitter tasting. This is a nice balance.

I take my coffee seriously. I am a fan of espresso an Italian roasts. I am not a fan of the over cooked flavor of French roast. Where I love my Islay Scotch and its burnt wood flavor, I don't like it in coffee. This one was in the trial pack. Great brew. Set the water level for the 5.5 oz, coffee cup-not the mug. Granted, a French Press will delight even more, but the single-pod sure is convenient.

I used to LOVE this coffee! It was rich and bold and so smooth. I had stopped trying/buying other brands. Something happened when they changed the label. I's bitter and weak compared to the old blend. Other reviewers are saying the company says nothing has changed, but the taste sure has. I have to start all over, trying to find something comparable. If you're going to try it, or you're just now re-ordering from the yellow label, get a small box. I had to drink four boxes of this bitter stuff. Please bring back the old, and make an announcement when you do!

Really liked this coffee. Was part of a variety pack that came with my brewer and I was so impressed with the bold intense flavour I ordered more. Some friends and family have complained that it was "bitter" or "too strong" but I don't consider them to be coffee lovers to begin with. It smells great when it brews and taste even better.

This blend is perfect for a reliable, delicious cup of coffee. It's a true "medium" roast - not to light and not to bold. It has a really nice full flavor which is great for your first thing in the morning cup but isn't overpowering to drink in the afternoon either. I love that it's organic and fair trade as well!
