I buy these in bulk from my local buying club, and keep that box in the car so I can take 3-4 in to work each day. We have a Keurig in the break room, and I brew on the least-water setting. Black is how I take mine, just the way God intended coffee to be. ;-) Some days, I'll give a cup to a friend when they comment on the great aroma, and usually win a convert.

This coffee was my LOVE for all the years I have used a Keurig in my office...The aroma filled the place; clients would comment how great it was. I buy 80 ct boxes. I noted the packaging change and thought, "I hope they havent changed anything" When I inquired I was told "NO CHANGE". Really? It's terrible; no aroma, no taste unless you wish to compare it to perhaps dishwater. UGH! I thought perhaps a bad batch, so I tried another small box..just as bad! Why does any company tamper with their winner?

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've tried the Coffee People Organic coffee and it was the WORST EVER! Then I decided to try this one since it had good reviews. I was skeptical about trying it because it's "organic". The coffee smell isn't really pleasant and it has a weird aftertaste kind of bitterness to it even after adding Coffemate French Vanilla. It was A LOT better than the Coffee People Organic Coffee. At least this one I can drink and finish off. A little better than what I had expected but not something I would drink again. Definitely a bold cup of coffee.

I happened to get this in a mixed box one time or I never would have bought it. I don't pay the price of Organic since I have made it 77 years without it. Newmans Own is the exception to my rule. There is no bitterness and the taste is so smooth & good that it is one thing I look forward to every morning.

This K-Cup offers a nice, hearty cup of coffee, perfect for any time of day or night, and has a pleasant, nutty flavor. It's one of the blends I keep on-hand at the office and at home. If you like a strong brew, without bitter aftertastes, and if you regularly drink coffee, consider purchasing the Value (80-count) pack, when available. You won't be disappointed.

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 love the full bodied taste of this coffee! I tried all the samples that came with my brewer and this one was my favourite hands down. If you like a full flavoured coffee then give this one a try. If only I could find a store in Canada that sells it!

Great organic coffees are hard to find in the K-Cups. I used to really enjoy the Newman's Own Special Blend, organic or not. Sadly, as others have also found, it has recently changed and is just "meh" at best. So much more bitter and unsatisfying than before. My daughter and hubby, who have considered this same coffee on of their absolute favorites for some time, asked me the other day what I thought of the Newman's Own recently. They, too, had noticed it had gone seriously downhill to the point that they weren't too sure about ordering it again. Perhaps Newman's Own had a less-than-wonderful crop of some of the coffee in this blend? All I know is that I'm hoping this once-wonderful coffee will be restored to its previous level. I may give this another chance in a few months, but for now it is simply disappointing. Such a shame! :(

This is my go to blend. It's always perfect. Love it don't change it. I like a dark roast but I don't want a crazy dark roast in the morning. This is perfect. I like a darker roast like dark magic in the afternoon. But I have tried a lot of different k cups and this is the one I buy the most for the last 2 years.
