Newman's Special Blend Extra Bold

Bold yet refined. Strong yet smooth. A study in contradiction, or a reflection of the man for whom it was created? Maybe both. Our team spent hands-on time with the Newman's Special Blend Extra Bold to see how it holds up against the rest of the capsules & pods we've tested.

Across repeated sessions we evaluated it on the categories that matter most: quality, consistency, value, and how likely we are to reach for it again. Ranked #177 of our top 184 capsules & pods — a strong dark pick with bold, smooth, rich notes, earning a 4.4★ average across 261 Amazon ratings.

Bold yet refined. Strong yet smooth. A study in contradiction, or a reflection of the man for whom it was created? Maybe both. This inspired blend of medium-roasted Central American coffees and darker-roasted Indonesians is rich, robust, and satisfying, with ample body to stand up to all the cream and sugar that you might want to add to the party. A hearty, full-bodied blend. It seems only natural that two companies with a shared vision of a better world would unite to bring you exceptional Fair Trade Certified, organic coffee and the chance to make a difference.
