5.0 out of 5 stars What a great K-cup sampler..., August 13, 2008

We've had our Keurig B60 about nine months now, and we've tried a number of the highest rated K-cups, so I wanted to set up subscriptions on Amazon for the varieties we want to have on hand on a regular basis.

I'd never tried Coffee People K-cups before, so I ordered the two variety packs they offer: the Extra Bold (that has five French Roast Decaf K-cups) and the Extra Bold Flavored (all "the real thing"). We will need to order three different packs per month, and I was looking for something different. At first I didn't think we'd use the decaffeinated ones, but then I realized there are times when we really want a cup of coffee at night (like the rare times we break down and buy that ice cream or cheesecake) but don't want the caffeine that late. So nothing's going to go to waste....

I am so impressed with the Coffee People coffees I've tried so far, and I know that we'll be including the Extra Bold Flavored pack in our once-monthly subscription. I haven't tried the Kafe-lua or Vanilla Avalanche yet, but if they are even half as good as the Chai Coffee and Berry Blast from that pack, I'll be in heaven.

My DH loves Tully's French Roast, which comes closest to having that "strong bite" that he was used to pre-Keurig (with the crap coffee), but I have a feeling he may decide that Coffee People's Black Tiger is at least tied for first place. I love it!

Speaking of pre-Keurig: When we first got our Keurig, we had to get used to the difference between cheap coffee brewed with unfiltered water in a Mr. Coffee and the Keurig K-cup coffees. At first, we thought the latter were awfully weak and not as flavorful. Those K-cups with very, very strong, even bitter flavors were the ones we were drawn to. After we'd been drinking K-cups a while, I had a cup of coffee in my doctor's office and realized that what we had been thinking was "strong" coffee was really coffee laden with pesticide taste--bleeccchhhhhh!!!

Now that my palate is becoming more accustomed to the good stuff, I'm beginning to be able to discriminate more between the subtle differences in these coffees. For example, the Tully's Sumatra is excellent and so is the Gloria Jean's Sumatra; however, of the two, I find the Gloria Jean's to be "earthy" while the Tully's is more "muddy."

Being able to discriminate in this way is what makes me really love the Coffee People's K-cups, because the coffees are rich and flavorful but, at the same time, smooth and balanced and not at all harsh; each has a decidedly different character. Also, the Extra Bolds lend themselves well to making a double cup using the small setting on our Keurig B60, run through the same K-cup two times. (If I feel like super-strong, I'll just run it through once. DH is a one-time brewer.)

The variety packs are a real winner, too. It's nice to be able to sample the different coffees without having to buy 50 K-cups of the same variety. Once you decide on which you are in love with, you can then buy the 50-packs of just the flavors you most prefer. What a winner....

This review is from: Coffee People Variety Pack 22-Count K-Cups for Keurig Brewers (Pack of 2) (Grocery)

I did not know what varieties were in this package. It has Wake-Up Call, Black Tiger, French Roast, French Roast Decaf, and Organic Bold. In my opinion the French Roast is the best one. It is strong but not bitter and smells just the way I want coffee to smell. None of them are bad, but I wouldn't by the others by themselves. I was hoping that some of the other highly rated Coffee People Bold varieties would be included like Donut Shop Coffee and Jet Fuel. I will try them next. The other CP Bold variety pack has "flavored" bold coffees and I am not a big fan of flavored coffee. I prefer to brew a great cup of strong coffee and flavor it myself if the mood strikes me. I was told at Starbucks that coffee sold flavored has usually had some type of error in it's roasting process. In my experience flavored coffee tends to be weak, especially in K-cups. Even on the smallest cup setting I can not get the coffee to taste strong enough. I also get sick of 50 cups of them same flavor!
I hope this was helpful.

As an update: I was informed that the "bold" K-cup varieties actually contain more coffee by weight per cup, and in fact after checking the packages I found it to be true. Who knew? :)

The new combo of flavors is great. Jet Fuel, Black Tiger, Extra Bold Organic, and Wake-Up Call are all good. This package used to have french roast and FR decaf in it. The latest I received had the 4 I listed.
