This is one of my favorite coffees. It's well balanced, not bitter or sweet. My other top pick is Timothy's Rainforest Espresso. Tully's Italian Roast and Green Mountain Sumatra are close behind. The first 2 tend to be slightly sweet, while the second 2 tend to be slightly green or bitter. but when I use French Vanilla creamer, which I usually do, they are all good. Many past reviewers equate "Extra Bold" with "Dark Roast". "Extra Bold" means that there are more coffee grounds in the K-cup to make it stronger. This is a "Medium Roast" coffee. If you prefer "Dark Roast", try the other 3 that I mentioned.

Every morning I start my day with this coffee...it is delicious and strong enough without being overbearing. I add a touch of sugar and some cream and top it off with a little whip cream - heaven!!! My cat and dog are part of the ritual - I have to give them a little whip cream each, so their day starts off right, too!!....

I was not a big time coffee drinker outside of the Espresso shop until we got our Keurig. I love this machine and was excited to try the different varieties of K-Cups. My first experience was with an extra bold roast of another brand and it was so-so... A little TOO bold for me. When, I found Coffee People's Donut Shop Coffee, I was hooked! This stuff is heaven in a cup! I have recommended it several times and each time I am thanked for turning yet another Keurig owner on to such an awesome coffee.

I was really looking forward to trying this coffee because it was rated so highly on every coffee review website. I bought a variety pack of coffee and this one happened to be in it. I picked this one first and was HIGHLY disappointed. The only thing that was good about it was the smell, other than that, nothing. It was watery, weak, had a bad after taste. I liked nothing about the taste whatsoever.

Nice cup of coffee. I like to have a larger cup of coffee in the morning, so this blend is perfect for me. I wouldn't consider it bold, so I don't know why it says bold in the title. It is a nice smooth medium blend of coffee, not too weak but not too strong either. A great way to start the day!

Just love this Donut Shop coffee in our Keurig K-cup coffeemaker. I didn't want to buy this coffeepot because I thought the coffees were too expensive (and the Keurig was too expensive too). But, after enjoying the coffees over the past 6 weeks, I AM SOLD on this coffee! And it is SO EASY! Would recommend these K-cups to others!!!

There's a reason this is consistently one of the best selling k-cups out there - it's the most authentic tasting by far...every time I buy something else, flavored brews included, I find myself coming back to Donut Shop because the others simply don't measure up

This has become my favorite K-cup product after just the first cup! I grew up in southern NJ and "greasy spoon" diners were found in just about every neighboring town. The coffee served in these diners was perfect! I could sit and drink that coffee for hours. Now that I have my Keurig, I can enjoy the much-loved coffee once again by drinking Original Donut Shop extra bold blend. I'm a fan of flavored creamers, but even with just milk or plain cream, the flavor of this coffee comes pleasantly through. Rich, full, a fantastic aroma as it brews - I can literally drink this all day without the typical upset stomach from the acid in other coffees, even those made by a couple of famous name brands. If you have a friend who has a new Keurig, this would make an exceptional gift...that is, if they're not already drinking this fine coffee!

For me, coffee is all about the caffeine, as it's the most efficient method of caffeine delivery. I have to drink coffee with sweetener and creamer, so, you can tell, I'm not strictly a coffee person. I've purchased a wide variety of pods - including the Rev Pulse - but I find myself reaching for this Donut Shop Extra Bold coffee most often. It's always strong enough yet gentle enough. Sometimes the Rev Pulse is strident. Donut Shop is never strident. It's reliable and tasty. You can't go wrong with this one if you're drinking coffee to wake you up or warm you up.

I have a K-Cup maker, and I love it. I just don't love Keurig's "The Original Donut Shop™ Extra Bold Coffee", as it is bitter and it leaves a bitter taste, even after two hours + of drinking it. I will not buy this Donut Shop brand again. I am still trying different brands. I will return it to the store where I purchased it, as they have a satisfaction guarantee, got to love this store.
