I really feel bad giving this coffee a bad review. I always buy this. This last batch I am very disappointed in. Each cup that I’ve tried taste burnt. I even went and bought a different kind and it was fine. Just this one batch is burnt. Usually I love waking up in the morning and brewing my cup but after tasting the burnt it just ruined it for me.

I have bought this flavor a few times, in the 12 pack box, but the last 2 boxes I have bought seem to have defective seals around the top of the K-cup. On average, 1/4 of the K-cups end up busting open during the brewing process. I bought a pack of Gevalia K-cups, thinking it could be my machine, but none of those broke open...it has only been the Donut Shop cups. This coffee has pretty good flavor for a medium roast, but I will not continue to buy these packs because of the mess it creates in my Keurig Elite machine. I hope this problem gets resolved soon so money and time wont be wasted with these K-cups.

We're terribly disappointed about the change. Since getting the Keurig, Coffee Shop has been our favorite. Claim of new packaging, same great taste is false. Not the same taste AT ALL. Don't like the new stuff but stuck with several cartons of it. Asked about it and Keurig.com folks steadfastly say it's exactly the same. Now looking for a coffee like the original..elsewhere. Why do they insist on changing one of the most popular coffees?

If this is their bold, I would HATE to try the regular. It is weak and watery and the flavor is very bland. Cheaptasting. If you want a great bold - go with Green Mountains Black Diamond Extra Bold, or even Newman's Own Extra Bold. Both are strong with great flavor.

I've tried both donut shop/house k-cups and out of the two, this is my favorite. The difference is subtle, but I believe Donut Shop has more depth of flavor. Donut Shop is a good all-around cup of coffee. Personally, I would love it to be a little bit strong, but even as it is, it will become a regular in my house.

In the sampler you get for the mini brewing system, you get this k-cup in it. I've tried all of them and most were very good, but this one stuck out as awful. I like bold, intense, thick coffee with a little bit of milk ad sugar. I did this with this cup as well and couldn't even drink half of it. I drink tea or coffee every morning so I know bad coffee when I taste it and this was definetly a bad cup of joe. It was bitter, sharp and left an awful after taste. All around it just tasted cheap. I do wonder if this is just me because I began drinking coffee while on vacation in Europe a year ago. My first cup was a cafe au lait in Paris and I drank that and Italian coffee throughout my trip. I wonder if that has made my taste toward American, or more watery coffee, more sensitive, but that really isn't a good excuse for this k-cup. Everything was just WRONG about it.

I am a beginner at coffee-drinking and thought a "breakfast blend" coffee like this would be light and sweet. It was too strong for me, and I tasted it all day. I don't care for coffee with a strong aftertaste. It's probably just my unsophistictaed palate though... because this one's a best-seller.

I love a good cup of coffee I like it strong but hate when coffee is bitter. This coffee is perfect for me and I was a Dunkin Donut coffee girl and that coffee was stronger than this one and required extra sugar and extra cream just to drink it. So I like Donut Shop coffee better'

I used an Elite brewer set at 8 oz. Just a great all-around, day in, day out wonderful coffee. I would not use any higher brewer setting (10 oz. or more) because that would degrade the excellent mouthfeel/body and fullness of flavor qualities. If I had the machine capability, I would give this one a try at the 6 oz. setting. I think that 4 oz. would be a bit much for most of us.

I'm a very picky coffee drinker and I received a free variety pack from [...]. I tried almost half the box and wondered if I would find one that I liked. I came across this one and couldn't ask for a better coffee. I made my boyfriend get me another box of it since this is my regular breakfast coffee now!!!
