This coffee came with the "starter pack" for our Keurig coffeemaker and was near the last of the pack to be sampled. It rated 5/5 and #2 of 25 by Dad and #3 by Mom.

Brewed/reviewed using the largest (automobile tumbler) water size. As stated, a "bold" taste with a heady toasted coffee aroma. This is a medium-body coffee, despite the implication on the packaging that it is a dark coffee (it is not a dark or french roast). Finishes clean with little or no aftertaste and no metallic taste whatsoever. (People's coffee all had metallic finish for us.) This is our winner for "anytime" coffee.

The big winner was Van Houtte single-source coffees. Absolutely perfect, but alas, not carried by Amazon, and twice the price of blended beans.

Timothy's Morning blend was our winner for a lightly toasted coffee. Gentle, smooth, and goes well with afternoon snacks or light lunch.

All of the teas were perfect, but at the price we'll stick with teabags.

I am writing this as I sip my first Newman's K-cup, and it's fantastic. OK, not the same as a fresh cup from my local Caribou Coffee, but it's bold and dark, full of flavor, and not burnt tasting at all. I have found most of the K-cups I tried to produce dishwater, just not enough coffee in them to make a full-flavor cup. I have been drinking Timothy's Midnight Magic Extra Bold, also very nice--just ran out, and picked up the Newman's at Costco (no time for shipping). It's a very worthy competitor, very very nice.

This is my favorite rich coffee. I prefer a dark coffee, but I don't care for Italian or French roasts. This is very smooth and has none of the acidic bites that some coffees have. This is deep and dark and smooth and rich. Highly recommended.

I take my coffee without sugar. The bitter after-taste of this blend is very noticeable.

Having tried a number of the different coffees available for k-cups I am often disappointed, Newmans however does not disappoint. Its a good coffee. They are all priced usually pretty similiar but Newmans is clearly a better blend than many others. If your getting K-Cups and you want a good coffee, not a bunch of different flavors just good coffee, get Newmans Own.

We go through so much coffee at our house, that we might as well become coffee shop! The bulk Newman's coffee is fresh, tasty and reasonably priced. A winner for my family!

I have been accused of going over-board on some things and my K-Cup obsession has been no different. I have tried almost every bold K-Cup on the market (really, my kitchen is full of those little boxes). Many of them are very good, and some (like Timothy's Rainforest Espresso) are excellent. Still, for day to day drinking I always go back to this blend. I find it to be smooth and satisfying. I use the second to smallest setting on my Keurig B70 (7 1/4 oz.) and I usually enjoy three to four cups in the morning (I never reuse a K-Cup, but if it works for some people, fine). If I want more or a cup later in the day I switch to the decaf version, also very good.

I miss my Newman's Own so much when I travel that I have started packing a Keurig B30 with me so I can enjoy this coffee on the road. I now also drink Coffee People's Organic blend, as a matter of fact I have grown to prefer it but that does not take away from how good of a coffee this is.

Really good coffee, happy to have learned that Mr. Newman stayed up many late nights creating this special blend.

I purchased the 80 pod Newman's Own box. I have always greatly loved aroma and taste of unflavored Columbian coffee, and had enjoyed unflavored coffee pods that came with machine, including the the extra bold pods. However, though the Newman's own pods are not indicated as being flavored, they alas are. I've once in a while gotten same aroma and taste at truck stops and restaurants, but don't know what the flavoring is. Hate the aroma, hate the flavor; what I want is UNADULTERATED PURE COFFEE. Trying to find someone who likes Newman's own pods so I can give them away.

My staff is in and out of the office all day long, so I bought a Keurig Coffee maker so that everyone could have a fresh cup of coffee regardless of when they happened through. I bought boxes of all different varieties of K-cups and this is the one that everyone liked the best. I still buy a few different varieties, but Newman's Own always goes the fastest. Glad to have Amazon sell it and deliver it right to the office - in the BIG box!
