I love the new Sumatra Coffee Pods. Sumatra is a wonderful low acid coffee and I was delighted to find them in Senseo pods. The flavor is as I remember Sumatra when I used to purchase it at specialty coffee stores in California. ( I live in a VERY rural area and choices are extremely limited. Amazon shopping takes you to specialy brands and flavors and that is where Sumatra fits belongs).

My only negative is there are two less pods in a package.

I have tried several of the Senseo brews, and I prefer this strong and aromatic blend to the others for a good morning bracer. It has a nice clean taste and pleasant aroma. To my taste, this is the strongest of the Senseo blends.+

We normally brew a full pot of coffee in our home each morning as there are enough coffee drinkers to make it worthwhile. But in the afternoon, sometimes one of us wants a cup and it is not worthwhile to brew another pot or grind up the beans to make a smaller pot. That's what we have our Senseo for. We keep a couple different kinds of pods around to suit various tastes, and this one suits mine.

These are a little stronger, and more full-bodied than the basic medium roast Senseo pods, yet the flavor is not quite as acidic as their dark roast pods. I use one pod for a "double" serving (the button with the 2 cups), which is (I know) not the recommended way, but I still seem to get good results. If I happen to be making one first thing in the morning and need a little more strength, I will use 2 pods and press the double first, and then the single to get a slightly larger and stronger cup.

If you like a strong cup with low acidity then give the Sumatra Blend a try, I know it works for me...

I love the Dark Roast and sometimes I just want a coffee that is full of body and flavor. The Sumatra blend meets my expectations. Although it's not as bold as the dark roast, but is full of flavor nonetheless. I highly recommend this coffee for "real" coffee drinkers. Simply microwave some milk and then brew this delicious coffee into the same cup. You will enjoy it very much.

Love the smell and the non-bitter taste of these richly satifying pods. Much prefer over traditional coffee but only makes two cups, which is okay; just need to know!

Well, having tried Douwe Egberts Dark Roast and finding that it is not dark enough for my taste buds, I tried the Sumatra Blend and found it to be just right. It may cost a bit more but it's worth it! Without a doubt, the best of the Douwe Egberts Senseo coffees!

We have one of the Senseo coffeemakers that requires coffee pods rather than the newer (and much more expensive)cups for single serve. I don't drink a lot of coffee, but my husband does and loves the Senseo coffees. Sumatra is his second favorite (he prefers Columbian, which we also order from Amazon in the Senseo brand) flavor of coffee, and he vows that the Senseo pods are as good as Sumatra brewed from freshly ground beans. It is certainly convenient to be able to brew a cup as needed, because it is always fresh, rather than stale from a day of sitting on a warmer. For anyone who likes coffee and doesn't drink a whole pot in a couple of hours, the pods are ideal, and for those who like a strong and rich flavor, Sumatra pods are a good choice.

My family loves this coffee. I enjoy the rich flavor and aroma. It is very convenient to get it once a month also.

Well, the reviews were really good for this coffee, so I decided to buy in bulk. Big mistake. Maybe my taste is just different, but this tasted like the taste in my mouth after a night of whiskey and cigarettes. Will never buy this again.
