    Fav Coffee Pod

    This is my 3rd order so enough said - the french roast has a beautiful earthy taste. The smell wakes me up and the pods fit in all my machines without any issues... this will definitely be reordered.

  • Precise Disarray Verified purchase ★★★★☆

    more like a medium roast. Not as dark as I like AND it has as hint of tang/brightness

    I had tried their House Blend (medium roast) and thought it pretty good considering that I prefer dark roasts. So then I decided to try this French Roast assuming that it would be really good. Eh.. it is doable, but it is not as dark as I like AND it has as hint of tang which should not be part of a dark roast profile.
