I have tried a lot of the k-cup coffees and this one is by far the BEST! It's a medium blend coffee with a strikingly good taste-smooth and NO bitterness!

Wonderful coffee. I have tried many different k-cups, and like Goldilocks, I found some to be to strong, some to be too weak, but this one is just right. No bitterness, no acidity, just pure coffee taste. I enjoy flavored coffees but sometimes just want a plain old coffee, and this is THE ONE for me. After having experimented with many others, I will stick with this one.

I've been drinking Caribou Blend for years and it is just right for my taste... or at least it was. Got a new shipment in and I noticed a color change on the K-cup, orange to light green. Uh-oh, wrong product? I compared the box to my old one and found the same SKU number but the roast level has been dropped from medium to very light along with the color change. My taste test revealed exactly that... a mild, relatively tasteless coffee more like their dishwater Daybreak than the old Caribou blend. Caribou (I got this second hand) claims that their flagship blend is more of a light roast than a medium roast and they made the change accordingly. Yeah, sure. Nice try but we all know that the wholesale price of coffee has skyrocketed. Sounds to me, the skeptic, that perhaps they have been forced to switch to a cheaper coffee with less gusto and more bitterness to maintain their competitive price points. How sad. I would have gladly paid more for my favorite. The new blend is far inferior. If you're a regular, have someone brew both and I bet you'll have no problem distinguishing the difference. Time for a new favorite with a company that doesn't play sleazy tricks on its loyal customers. If and when prices return to normal, watch the return to the old orange based on "we listen to our customers" and more corporate-speak BS.

I completely agree with the previous review - this is outstanding coffee. I too have tried a lot of the K-Cup varieties and have found this one to be the best. It has a wonderfully smooth flavor. It really is a superior cup of coffee!

I received a Keurig machine for Christmas and was eager to sample all of the coffees that were included. Unfortunately the Caribou Blend was absent in my sampler. Lucky for me I decided to pick up a box of this coffee once the sampler was depleted. I can sum up my experience with one word... "WOW!" This coffee is very smooth but loaded with flavor, even on the largest cup setting. I was taken aback when I took my first sip; the subtle hint of berry and chocolate was so pleasant. I would say this is one of the best, if not THE best, coffees I've ever tasted.

I concur with the prior reviewers and independently came to the same conclusion. After going through everything in the variety pak, this particular coffee consistently came out on top. These K cups are a bit pricey, but still a better deal than Starbucks by far.

I have to agree with the other reviews here. Caribou makes an excellent coffee with a very distinctive taste. I bought this based on reading the other reviews and they were right on in their assessment and am thankful I took the time to read them. I would encourage everyone to at least take a look at the Keurig site and compare what they have to offer in the way of coffee and prices. I believe you will be very satisfied. Free shipping, 10% off when you order 4 boxes, coffee club rewards program. Just take a look.

This coffee is just great. Not overpowering, but still relatively complete, even when brewed as a "large" cup, or even 2X small -- many of the K-cups come out tasting thin when you do this, but not this one! It's so mellow that some may find it to be lacking in unique personality, and I suppose that being a "medium-bodied" blend, it doesn't shout out anything at the drinker. Still, this is a very nice, all-around coffee that is great for everyday drinking.

Not our fav. It's great to have for guests who enjoy a lighter cup but it's not for us. We like Green Mountain's Breakfast blend and Doughnut Shop the best as our "Normal" cup of coffee and Newman's Own Extra Bold when we need a Starbucks type of brew. If you love a light brew then you will love this.

We love this blend and buy every month or so. I give it to my friends and family but it's not light very tasty.
