This robust flavor stands up well to a travel-sized mug and is indeed very smooth as described, but I didn't get an actual Kahlua flavor much, if at all. At first the flavor seemed to have a burned taste to me--the very flavor I was avoiding with the single serving Keurig system. I decided to test it by adding some real Kahlua to standard unflavored coffee and found it didn't taste vastly different--so I guess this is how it is supposed to taste, but it's not what I expected. The guy in the liquor store said that without the alcohol you wouldn't get the exact taste. Overall, I found the flavor okay in a big mug (too strong for me in a cup) and the two-box pack is a good value.

This coffee does not taste like Kahlua, it only tastes marginal. It's drinkable with enough sugar, but it's not very good. Maybe it's not my style of coffee, for example Gloria Jean's pumpkin spice is excellent and Green Mountain Nantucket Blend, and for decaf I like Green Mountain French Roast decaf and GM Hazelnut decaf. Bellacino French Vanilla was fabulous but it is discontinued.

I was pretty excited to receive this flavor, as Kahlua is one of my favorite flavors. Upon making the coffee, my wife walked through the kitchen and asked if a skunk has sprayed outside of the window. The coffee gives off a VERY strong aroma when brewed. If you like a strong cup of coffee, this one is for you. As the earlier poster stated, I didn't get much of the Kahula flavor that I was hoping for. Not sure if I'll even use up the cups due to the aroma that is created when brewing. Out of all of the flavors I have tried, this is probably the worst.

This is most definitely the worst K-Cup I have ever tasted. I have had the pleasure of tasting the majority of K-Cup varieties and this by far the worst!!!! It smells horrible and tastes even worse. The best way to describe the odor is the burnt aroma that would come from a coffee pot that was left on a burner until all you could smell was the charred remains. Since when does Burnt = Kahlua? After brewing this in my office, I was trying to find lysol or air freshner to clear the air. I feel I need to run vinegar through machine to clear any trace of this bad coffee. I have 23 more K-Cups out of the box of 24 if anyone wants them for free.

The smell and taste are undescribeable. I love Timothys and I love Kahlua, this confused me. The smell was so bad my sister woke up and thought there was a skunk outside the kitchen. We brewed another, still smelled and tasted aweful. I didnt even want to give them away to anyone because I would feel bad.

Ok I read the other reviews and said "How bad can it be?" Let me tell you it smells like a wet dog that got sprayed by a skunk when it is brewing. As you drink it every once and a while you get that odor. It doesn't taste half bad (no Kahlua flavor though more Hazelnutty).

I can't make this at home the house stinks for hours and my dog won't go in the kitchen after I brew it. I took it to work and put it on the table in the kitchen area where free stuff disappears fast. I can't give this coffee away.

It's a shame I had high hopes for this flavor. Believe the other reviews, this coffee smells bad!

Though this is my first K-Cup review, Let me establish my position and reasons I came to this conclusion. First, I am coffee wimp. I drink coffee only with half & half (fat free) and imitation sugar. Second, my B40 has not yet arrived so I used my Krups model 871 Espresso machine to brew my K-cup which, is not all that different than the brewing process of the Keurig machines. Third, I gave up drinking all drinks made up or including alcohol in 1988 due to health reasons but prior to that time I had drank White Russians and was very fond of them I just can't remember exactly what Kahlua tasted like except it was sweet and I enjoyed them. Forth, Wither one likes or dislikes one K-cup over another is purely subjective and I'm not criticizing those who wrote negative review. With that established, lets move on.

When I opened the Kahlua K-cup I noticed a distinct sweet aroma and also a dark roasted bean odor like one might experienced from a Starbucks coffee; so being from Seattle Washington I'm use to that.

I pealed off the lid of the K-cup and emptied it into the Krups filter basket. Tampered it down sightly like one would do for an espresso grind, measured about 8 ounces of water and poured that into the machine and then turned it on.

When the coffee started to drip into the carafe and some steam arose I wasn't sure wither to hold my breath or hold my nose. Much to my surprise I did notice an odor like from a dark roasted bean or from my espresso's I use to make, but nothing offensive. I was a bit perplexed; again I thought of the reviewers who had complained of an offensive odor emitting from their machines during the brewing process.

Upon completion of the brewing cycle, I poured the coffee in my large mug added the Half & Half until it reached a blond- Carmel like color (but not enough to over power the coffee) and the sweetener and took my first sip, with great anticipation. Not bad was my first impression. I actually enjoyed it. It had a sweet but not to sweet flavor and to my mind, a Carmel like flavor with a medium-dark roasted base of a regular coffee. No offensive taste or aroma others had written about and a pleasant after taste that lingered for some time after wards, not to strong nor acidic quite pleasant actually.

My conclusion? Perhaps the other reviewers had a bad batch or this particular flavor needs to be consumed with some cream or cream like dairy product and or a sweetener. Either way, I plan to continue on drinking this K-cup flavor for some time and can't wait till tomorrow to have my next cup.

When my B40 arrives and I have a different result with that machine I will add an update.

This coffee tastes and smells repulsive. I like the flavor of Kahlua and I love coffe. I love the international creamers Kahlua creamer. I thought this would be an obvious win. I brewed a cup and the smell was HORRENDOUS! I drank a couple of sips and almost threw up! It doesn't taste like Kahlua or coffee! DO NOT BUY THIS! YOU ARE WARNED! IT IS BAD!!!!

I am having a lot of fun with my Keurig coffee brewer. There are som many flavors of K-cups out there that it is fun trying samples of all the flavors. This is a new flavor that I wanted to try. I have found a lot of the flavored coffees do not taste all that good and only a few brands have decent flavored coffee. What I like about this Kahlua flavor from Timothy's is that the flavoring is not overpowering and lets the taste of the coffee come through. It is very pleasant to me and the wife and a good change of pace from what we normally have in the pantry. This is one flavor I will try to keep in stock.

I was hesitant to choose this particular K-Cup since some of the reviews were less than appealing. However, I am glad that I did. Like many who gave it 5 stars, it has quickly become one of my favorites. Give it a try and make your own decision because I can see why some people love it.
