What happened?

Original Donut Shop was my favorite. The last two cases I purchased had the same carton, but the KCups are different packaging, and certainly not the same blend. How can you call it the ORIGINAL when clearly it is not. Please, PLEASE bring back the original.

Basic Coffee

This coffee smells great when brewing, but that's where the pleasure ends. It really reflects the name, as this tastes like something you would get at a 24 hour Donut Shop that was left over in the pot for about six hours at one o'clock in the afternoon. The flavor was flat and very bitter.

Our New Favorite

My husband and I love a bold but not bitter or burnt tasting cup of coffee. This is what we have come to expect from a cup of coffee, being from Louisiana where chicory coffees of New Orleans are the gold standard to us. In our experience, most "extra bolds" equal burnt/bitter...but not this one. It is fantastic. If you like this one you may also enjoy the Full City or vice versa.

Not Bold Enough

I personally like Coffee's that taste like coffee. I like to smell my coffee when it brews. I was not able to smell my "Original Donut Shop" coffee while it brewed. I automatically knew it was going to be flat, tasteless, and with a lingering after taste. It was a slight bitter at the end as well.

Exactly as described

This tastes exactly look good, strong donut shop/breakfast place coffee. I've only had my Keurig for a day, but this is the best of the half-dozen or so I've sampled. I prefer a good medium roast, just like Goldilocks. Not too strong and not too weak. I primarily drink decaf due to health restrictions, but this is a fine caffeinated medium roast.

Something changed (and not for the better).

The Original Donut Shop Regular coffee has been one of my favorites since day one. I recently finished up my 100-count box, & had to purchase a 12 pack from the grocery store to tide me over until I could order more. These new ones are AWFUL (and I am so glad I did not order the"big box")!!! I always was able to drink this "black" due to it's excellent flavor, but now I can hardly even drink it with half-and-half in it. It is overly strong and bitter...almost a burnt taste. I'm so disappointed and afraid to try this (formerly wonderful) product again.

yum!

I just ordered by second box of this. I love this stuff! I would describe it as the cup of coffee you want to get when you order it at a restaurant, but never do. It's got a wonderful, hearty, full flavor without being bitter or tasting like an ash tray. My only complaint is that I can't seem to keep enough of this lol. I love this coffee and plan to always keep it on hand. :)

Beware of new packaging!!

Donut Shop coffee is my favorite k-cup by far, but the new packaging is defective and I've lost half of cups with the new packaging that i've opened. At the start of brewing when the mechanism pierces the cup, half of the rim of the k-cup opens causing coffee grounds to overflow from the k-cup, land in your cofffee cup and clog your brewer. The causes lots of clean up, you must remove the k-cup holder, as well as rinse the inside of the brewer cup holder which cannot be removed. Then you start all over with a new cup and hope it doesn't happen again. This has happened with 6 of the 12 new cups that I've used so far. It can't be happening to only me. I wouldn't recommend this until the packaging problem is resolved.

Oh no, that doesn't good, lets try to fix it. Coffee grounds from a portion pack may have gathered in the exit needle. To clean the needle, follow these steps: Remove and clean the exit needle in accordance with the K-Cup® holder cleaning instructions. Perform a small-cup cleansing brew and look for any grounds coming out. Repeat cleansing brews to clear out any residual grounds. If you are using the MY K-CUP® Reusable Coffee Filter, please make sure that you are using a coarse-drip grind. You should only fill the mesh basket to the bottom of the brown band, which is approximately 2.5 tbs. If you have more question please call our Customer Service team at 866-901-2739. They would be more than happy to help troubleshoot what's going on with your brewer. Thank you!

current favorite coffe

I recently purchased the Keurig B60 model. I sample almost of the coffees that came with. Donut shop extra bold is by far my favorite coffee. I've also had the chocolate glaze & cinnamon as well. I love the balance dark and medium. Its perfect I wouldn't change a thing about it.

Hit and Miss

I've been drinking this variety for awhile now and have yet to find consistency. Some cups are great, a bit bold, which some days you need. Other cups are bitter and smell like cooked spinach. Not fun when you wake-up looking forward to that first weekend cup of coffee.
