I was worried about trying this after reading the reviews but I'm SO glad that I did. I love this coffee. It's got great flavor and is bold and full-bodied. It's the perfect amount of bold, if that makes sense; strong but not overpowering. Also, this can stand up to brewing a larger cup and/or creamer. I haven't found any other that can. Try it, you won't be sorry.

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 really like a STRONG brew with a pure coffee flavor. No chemicals or after taste. This particular K-Cup is my all time favorite. Very Bold, as close to espresso I care to go with a K-Cup coffee. The flavor is very brisk with not much of an after taste. It is that good. I do not brew a large cup, but a medium sized. For a sweetener I use Stevia In the Raw, not sugar or other sweeteners, so my review is based on the flavor using Stevia. I've purchased 2 boxes of 80 since December.

I received a sample of this when I received my brewer. I had never tried this brand of coffee before and I was pleasantly surprised. It has great flavor and is not bitter. I would not call it "extra bold", but it is a great medium roast coffee. It just has great coffee flavor without a bad or strong after taste. I will be purchasing some more of this and probably trying the decaf in this brand as well.

My husband and I like bold coffees like Sumatra, Black Tiger, Parisian Nights, Black Diamond and Big Easy Bold. The reviews for Newman's Own were excellent, so we bought a box. We were very disappointed in the flavor. It went beyond a bad "earthy" flavor. It tasted like a cup of dirt.

I agree - sadly - with the reviewers who've noticed that the blend has changed from something special to something less than ordinary and yes, it seemed to coincide with the change in packaging. From buying the 80-piece packages as my "Go to" daily coffee, I've taken it off my list.

I'll put it right out front that I like my coffee fairly mild. I drink it for flavour, not to wake up or anything like that. If given a choice, I'll generally choose house blend or something mild at a coffee shop. That said, much like many other reviews, one of this flavour came with the K-cup machine I got as a present. As always, I tried a sip of it prior to sugar/cream, just to see what it's like naturally. It was, in essence, the equivalent of licking a battery post. So ridiculously acidic tasting was that first sip, that it took a LOT of sugar and creamer (flavoured creamer) to make it drinkable, since hey... why waste it when you can just cover up the taste. Long story short, instead of buying a bag or box of this flavour, I'd probably just buy a 9-volt battery to lick instead. Probably cheaper in the long run before the battery dies. But seriously, it LITERALLY tasted like I had licked a battery. HOW in the world this is one of the highest rated coffees here, I'll never know. But again, I tend to avoid the 'bold' coffees, never mind extra bold. People who prefer that are a bit... special in my eyes.

I'll wake up in the morning before my classes, and zombie my way to the kitchen and turn on my Keurig and pop one of these little bad boys in there. I sit on the counter and watch it brew, and bask in the amazing aroma. I wait until it cools just a tad, and drink it black and it's quite good. It provides just the right amount of kick-start I need. Sometimes, I'll brew more than I would drink, and leave half of it, so when I come back from the morning classes I drink the rest, and head out to my afternoon classes. One cup a day is all I need.

I use this product in my Keurig on a daily basis, sometimes 3 or 4 times a day. I love this product, and in my opinion, everything about it is fantastic. I am a heavy coffee drinker and love experimenting with different coffees, and this has been one of the best ones.

Coffee taste is so unique and individual. I agree that if you want that strong bold taste this might not be for you, but for me, I get just the right amount of flavour I want. Depending on the strength I want, or the time of day, I will sometimes use the 8oz or the 10 oz cup to adjust the flavour.
