I was not pleased with this K-cup. The flavor was bitter, what I can only describe as "woody." I had a very difficult time getting the aftertaste out of my mouth. Even after brushing my teeth, I could still almost taste it. I was thankful this k-cup was part of a sampler, and we only have a couple more. I won't be drinking them.

Why oh why did you change your excellent coffee. The previous version states that it was medium roast coffee extra bold. There is not a word about extra bold on the new one. There is a most definite smoky taste which I liken to a week old chimney fire. Now I am in trouble with my friends who visited, tasted your previous coffee and then bought it. They are complaining that mine was much better. They nor I will be purchasing this product again.

The flavor is excellent. I like a stronger cup of coffee but not a tiny cup of coffee. I don't like bitter or harsh. I enjoy a heavier body coffee. Even though this is maybe only a medium body, this coffee has enough flavor to brew a large cup without compromising flavor. Definately one of my all time favorites.

I am not a fan of St******* BITTER tasting coffee. This coffee is bold and strong without being bitter. If you are a Fo***** or Ma***** H***** coffee drinker look elsewhere. This will not be a coffee for you. But if you love good coffee without bitterness, this is your coffee! Paul Newaman has passed, but his name lives on in his coffee's!

As this was literally my first K-cup on a machine received as a Xmas gift, expectations were high. After running a full water reservoir thru with no coffee to clear the manufacture process, the Newman's Extra Bold was chosen and did not disappoint, would have made Paul proud! Great mouth feel, minuscule initial bitterness on the palate, just for a split second and then the balance of acidity and bold coffee flavours take over.

I tried this Newman's product because it was fair trade and organic. I love a strong, robust coffee and thought the EXTRA BOLD would be perfect. It is not at all. Mild flavor and NO kick that you would think the words "Extra" and "bold" would bring you. The coffee is fine for a mild roast, but do not buy if you are looking for a true Extra Bold!

This, as many other reviewers have said, USED to be my favorite (with a passion) coffee. It was full of flavor, without being thick-tasting or heavy or bitter. Gradually it changed. I don't know the "story" of its demise, but what I have noted is that the name "extra bold" seems to mean nothing any more. I have ordered extra bold only to get NOT extra bold (not noted on the box or pods)... sent it back, to receive a replacement of Kcups that said extra bold on the box, but not on the pods. Same watered-down taste. Newman's had a good thing, why did they ruin it?

My wife prefers Dunkin Donuts Coffee best over all. This "Newman's Robust" tastes like Starbucks. For the user who likes Starbucks (straight coffee - unflavored) this is a match - for us, it tastes like ground dirt. With that said, I am Cajun and like my chicory Cajun coffee.

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 is coffee at its best. I love the fact that it is organic, that there have been conscious efforts to care for the health of the consumer, the environment, and still allow folks to make a living. The bonus to all of the above is the coffee is about as perfect as coffee can get. It's a coffee that you won't get tired of. While I'm not easy to please, I am totally pleased with this coffee.
