Coffee People Kona Blend Island Style, Extra Bold K-Cups for Keurig Brewers (Pack of 50)
There are a couple of things that I really enjoy about the Coffee People Kona Blend K-cups, their pricing is and outstanding value when compared to buying the K-cups at a retail location, and secondly the coffee is good. This is the a rich, smooth, and bold blend of coffee. It almost reminds me of Starbucks as it tastes like it has been roasted to a bold flavor. I like to make this coffee when I want a little extra kick of coffee flavor to start my day. If you are a fan of bold tasting coffee I would definately recommend this coffee for you.
I've tried pretty much all of coffee people's extra bold K-cups. Kona is my personal favorite. It has a faint nutty flavor and is very smooth, not bitter (like black tiger), but still fairly strong. If you're looking for a coffee that you can drink everyday, I would try this coffee. Jetfuel, Donut shop, Black tiger, etc. are good for a while, but I got tired of them after a few days. I only drink those cups as breaks between my standby's (Kona and Organic). As far as "extra bold" goes, the cups definitely have a lot of coffee in them. A little bit of coffee spills out of all of the extra bold coffee people cups.
Before I get to the coffee itself, I just want to reiterate a disclaimer to anyone who's thinking about buying this:
Yes it's a great price for 50 K-cups, and that is an unqualified statement - when you consider that the local supermarket has 18 for $10, it's an unbelievable value. However, the packaging and shipping method leaves something to be desired. The cardboard box you see in the picture is the shipping box - inside are 50 K-cups that were just thrown in. No peanuts, no molds, nothing at all. Just 50 loose K-cups in a shipping box. As a result, any dents the box might endure in shipping (it happens) could damage the K-cups themselves. I was lucky, as only four K-cups in my shipment had cosmetic dings and scratches and none were broken open. Other buyers have not been so fortunate.
Now, onto the good news - this coffee is brilliant. As soon as I got my shipment I went right to work using my B70's smallest setting. Naturally this provides the richest brew, and therefore is the most telling test of a coffee's quality. This Kona blend passes with flying colors - great aroma, a fantastically bold yet sweet taste with none of the bitter aftertaste that other bold roasts leave behind. Goes down wonderfully smooth. Just an all-around great coffee to have everyday. Some purists may question the value of a Kona "blend" (which probably has only 10% Kona coffee) but I think you should just ignore the name and buy it because it's delicious.
Bottom line - this is excellent coffee, no question. Just know that the fragile packaging is the price you pay for $0.35 K-cups.
