I use this k-cup nearly every day. It's has a nice, bold flavor without being overly strong and offensive. Another bonus is that the acidity isn't as strong as some of the other k-cups that I've tried (my stomach appreciates that). It tastes just like the coffee that I get (and love) from my local donut shop. I would recommend this product to anyone.

I'm not what you call a coffee aficionado, but I do like my first cup every morning and occasionally throughout the day. Most blends, like say a French Roast are too strong for me, and I find they have a bitter taste. The Donut Shop Coffee, however, has a delightful aroma and a smooth, non-bitter, flavor. I enjoy mine with a flavored creamer. I've tried other "donut shop" brands but none compare to "The Original Donut Shop" brand made by Keurig.

I agree with Steve from Boston's review about the little hint of bitterness on your tongue after the coffee goes down. That's my only issue with this one. Other than that I love it, and so far is my favorite that I've tried so far. It's got a nice medium roast, not too light, not too strong. Just right with a smooth flavor and full bodied taste. I drink it with Splenda and half and half. I probably drink 2 to 3 cups of this particular flavor a day! :-X

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!

I'm not sure how this coffee has gone from being one of the best K-Cup coffees around, to what it is today. How it makes it out of product testing is beyond me. Used to be a nice dark roast with lots of flavor, but a sweetness like one would expect from a donut shop coffee. Now it's not even worth commenting on.

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?

This was the first coffee I ever tried in my Keurig machine. This is one of a dozen different k-cups included with the machine. I liked the name of this one, and it had a neat design on the cover - a donut. Anyhow, I brewed a big cup of it and gave it a shot. Me, I add sugar and milk to my coffee (we don't have cream at home). And I have to ssay, this coffee tastes almost exactly what you'd find at an old diner along some forgotten highway. It has that very general taste too it - not heavy at all - very average but - that's what I like. But I did detect a slight bitterness after each sip. It is smooth at first but it gives you a little nip on your tongue on the way down. But - overall I liked it.

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.

Closest thing to one of my longtime favorites...i.e. Folgers

My husband loves this coffee. We always have this one as a staple.
