My wife and I love this k-cup. We've tested all the extra bold dark roasts out there. In fact, we did blind taste tests and pitted Timothy's Midnight Magic vs. Green Mountain EB Dark Magic, Gloria Jeans EB Black Gold, Van Houtte's Eclipse EB, Green Mountain EB Espresso Blend, Green Mountain EB Sumatran Reserve, Timothy's EB Parisian Nights, Coffee People EB Organic, Coffee People Jet Fuel, Coffee People EB French Roast, Tully's EB French Roast and Tully's EB Italian Roast. Yes, we honestly tested them all. Many of the other contenders are fine coffees in their own right and without direct comparison to Midnight Magic, they'd be a fine k-cup. But when compared directly with Timothy's Midnight Magic, we found we chose it every time in blind taste tests. It amazed me when my wife picked it every single time. We *do* note that Coffee People's Jet Fuel tasted very similarly to Midnight Magic. All else being equal, we'd purchase which ever one is on sale: CP Jet Fuel or Timothy's Midnight Magic.

There is no way you'd be let down by this k-cup if you *like* extra bold, dark roasted coffee. It's just perfect!

A must buy for Keurig owners!

I take coffee very seriously so when I bought my Keurig, I doubted if any K-cup would come close to a real espresso taste. So I tried a large variety of K-cup coffees, usually by buying the variety packs of dark roasts from different vendors, then selecting a few K-cups I liked. In the end,I believe Midnight magic X Bold is the best.

Now my family easily drinks 50 cups a month, so we opted for the Subscribe & Save program bringing the cost to $17.10 or about 34 cents per cup. This is the lowest price we have found and we LOVE the coffee.

I love my Keurig machine, but you do not always get a good cup of coffee in the larger size settings on these machines. I do not like a weak cup of coffee and this product will give you a descent flavor with the 12 to 16oz setting. The 50 pack is also less packaging to store and I find that very appealing. Definately worth a try if you like Rainforest Espresso in the Timothy's line.

The coffee is strong, but its supposed to be. My complaint with it, is that just about every other time I brew it, my coffee cup is full of coffee grounds. So much that you can spoon them out. I have to throw it away. This is the only coffee that has done that so far. I occasionally have had a couple of stray grounds in my cup with other coffees, but this is far from drinkable. I emailed Timothy's to tell them about it and never got a reply. And, as the K-cups are not cheap, I dont think I will be buying this kind again. There are plenty of other dark brews out there.

I ordered this on basis of so many rave reviews, and it only proves that everyone has their own taste to satisfy. I found this coffee to be VERY bitter, even with a large dose of creamer, and with an acrid after-taste that I could only get rid of by brushing my teeth. I'll keep what remains to serve to visitors who stay too long, and to use as paint stripper. :-)

My favorite remains to be at this link: Timothy's World Coffee, Rainforest Extra Bold Espresso for Keurig Brewers, 50-Count K-Cups and that's the one I will continue with on my subscription.

This is one of the best tasting K-Cups available for the Keurig and Breville brewers, and definitely the best of the "Extra Bold" flavors. Other runners up are Coffee People's "Jet Fuel" (which as another reviewer noted, is very similar to this one), Timothy's "Parisian Nights," and Emeril's "Big Easy Bold".

Thank you to the first reviewer. Because of your recommendation we purchased this coffee. It is great as we also like a cup of good, strong coffee. 'We will purchase it again. Best price I've found too.

I purchased Kona Midnight Magic & Kona Blend. Good price, free shipping and the taste is fine. Midnight Magic is a little strong but Kona is great. The problem with the Midnight Magic and why I have rated it so low is that the filter burst open during brewing pouring all the grounds in the cup and on the machine. Since I am not one to make returns, especially when it requires shipping, I continued to try them. I did not get a count but after this happened several more times I contacted Amazon and returned the Midnight Magic. This has never happened with Kona Blend or any other brand. The good news is the return was hassle free. You print a lable, package it and mail it at the USPS and after receipt by Amazon they credited my card. Besides the hassle it was cost free and I give Amazon a five star for that.

It appears that the coofee in these K-Cups is too finely ground - for some reason i have a recurring problem with the coffee clogging the Keurig cup holder and often resulting in partial cup sizes and excessive grounds in the cup,

Recently purchased 2 -50pack Kcups of Timothy's Midnight Magic for my self and also the same for my parents and had them directly shipped to IN. Was bragging to my brother about my Keurig coffee maker which I have had for approx 1 year and love it. SO I made him a cup of coffee, which he spit out becasue it was pure grounds!!! made 6 more cups and all did the same thing, at the end of the coffee cycle it sprayed pure grounds into the cup. Cleaned the maker up and tried a different brand of coffee and no problem. Switched back to the timothy's and again cup full of coffee grounds. We are not talking a few grounds but a whole cup full of grounds!!!! Contacted my father not to use the kcups but was to late, my mother had already used it and blew the grounds into the cup and into the coffee maker causing it to freeze up. After numerous cleaning etc her coffee maker never worked again. She contacted Keurig and they replaced her coffee maker. WE both contacted Timothy's and was sent a replacement. Never had a problem with Timothy's in the past but all 4 boxes of 50 packs were defective, and all had different lot numbers also. SO if you buy the 50 pack BEWARE of Coffee grounds in your coffee.
