I am a big fan of the Senseo coffee maker and their pods. The Senseo makes better coffee with crema than I can get at any coffee shop in the USA including Pete's and Starbucks which don't even try. Most of the coffee selections are very good with only one that is a bit lacking in aroma and flavor but that is a personal judgment and others might light different ones more or maybe less.

A low risk product that is bound to please anyone that like the regular Senseo dark roast coffee.

I love the "Days Dawn" Senseo coffee pods. All of the varieties are great, and I especially like being able to make a great latte at home with the espresso pods.

These Variety Packs are always fun to try and I always find at least 1 "keeper!" This time it was
the Kona Blend....I have reordered time and time again...Fabulous and smooth flavor! Try it!

Have you seen the prices in the stores? On that issue alone, I'd be happy. But to have Amazon send me assortments of coffee for my Senseo right to me door any time I want it???? I'm in love. The Variety Packs are sensational. I switch around from II to III. Sometimes I want breakfast blend or medium or espesso or who knows what... Amazon gives me every option. I love you guys.

I like this mix.

Breakfast blend - smooth, but flavorful. Great for morning coffee and also during the day.

Medium roast - strong, but not too much. Just right!

Kona Blend - my least favorite. Too mild. I tried one pod at 4 fl oz and it was watery. I then tried 2 pods at 5 fl oz and it was too stong.

Espresso roast - absolutely amazing. I love it and so does my wife.

I haven't been able to find any pods in the grocery stores for the past month. I don't know why they have discontinued carrying this brand as the coffee really tastes fresh. I'm delighted Amazon has them and in a good variety. I really do not want to get a new coffee maker but may have to down the road.

WISH SENSEO HAD TRUE SAMPLE PACKS:
Having had the Senseo Coffee maker for about 2 years now, I have been frustrated with the need to buy 16-18 of a particular flavor to try something out. Online, this is even more so the case as all are sold as packs of 4 of 16 or 18, so it is a bigger risk. That rant aside, at least this is a mixed pack.

HOW TO RATE SOMETHING THAT IS A FLAVOR, YOU NEED TO KNOW WHY FIRST:
For me to rate something that is "flavored" let me first quantify my preferences.
I like a strong but non-bitter coffee flavor. So often I think coffee smells better than it tastes. I take my coffee with no sugar but lots of creamer or evaporated milk. For the most part, I like most of the Senseo coffees, except for those that include sugar, as that is not what I put in my coffee. So consider this first when you listen to what I thought of this product.

MY RATING DUE TO MY OWN PREFERENCES
This Variety pack was a nice mix and to be honest, I did not notice a major difference between any of these flavors except for the Kona.
The Kona coffee has a full-bodied coffee taste, strong but not bitter. I plan to get a case of this one. The rest, are mild, have a nice crema, but don't really stand out from one another. They were good as all the Senseo coffees are, but not as good as the Kona.

This package contains some of the best tasting coffee which I have consumed. However, a word of warning; don't drink it at bedtime. I thought I had a high resistance to caffeine, but these coffees excedd this resistance level. Consider a decaffeinated blend for bedtime drinks.

If you like the standard Senseo flavors you'll like this mix. It's a little hard to tell the flavors apart, but they are all enjoyable.

The coffee is really good, the only issue is to switch combinations of flavors. In general is good price for the quality
