Timothy's World Coffee, Original Donut Blend for Keurig Brewers, 24-Count K-Cups (Pack of 2) Review.

 "An extremely flavorful light-roast coffee" 2009-09-02
By Timothy B. Riley (San Antonio, TX USA)

One of the pleasures of a Keurig is that you can serve a friend or a guest a cup of coffee that will please them and their tastes, not just what you brew for yourself everyday. I happen to enjoy strong, deeply roasted blends (the kind that you usually find at the specialty coffee shops which seem to be all over the place now). However, not everyone shares my enjoyment of a strong, full-bodied cup of coffee.



I have many friends who often say something like "I love coffee but Starbucks is just too strong for me". Enter Donut Blend. I have purchased many boxes of Coffee People's Donut Shop Coffee and it is a favorite for many of my friends and family. When Timothy's announced that they were coming out with the "Original Donut Blend" I got in line to try it. Here is my take on it:



It is certainly a little lighter than Coffee People's version but the taste is more complex with clean, bright notes of spice and low acidity. Surprisingly, it reminds me a little of the Peaberry Kona coffee that I brought back from Hawaii. It is a perfect blend for those who like their coffee black or with just a little cream and still want it to taste like coffee. If someone drinks several cups a day I think that Timothy's Donut Blend will not overwhelm their taste buds and will still taste fresh cup after cup. Mind you, I drink Newman's Own Bold Blend on a regular basis and will continue to do so, but if I am having more than two cups (for those "special" mornings when nothing seems to go right) or if I am having a cup later in the day I will drink this one.



Just rating it on what I want in a coffee I give it four stars, but judging it for what it is (and not just what I like), it fully delivers and deserves five stars.



Coffee People Medium Extra Bold, Donut Shop K-Cups for Keurig Brewers (Pack of 50) [Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging]

By WLC (Iowa)

I currently use Coffee People's version of Donut Shop and when I saw Timothy's version I wanted to give it a try. This is not as full body as Coffee People's version but I really like the smooth low acidity taste. If you don't want a bold rich flavor I think you will love this smooth great tasting coffee as much as I do.

 "A Great Blend for Real Coffee Lovers" 2009-09-07
By Tax Writer (Maui)

This is a great choice for real coffee lovers-- a delicious light-medium roast flavor.



No burnt or charred flavor that you get from Dark Roast or French Roast coffees, which many people think are "stronger" but in actuality just taste stronger because the beans are over-roasted (burnt). It's also easier to mask the flavor of crappy beans when you dark-roast them.



Good quality here for a single-use item. If you actually enjoy the taste of coffee and drink it black, like I do, you will love this blend. It's so good.

 "Very similar to the DD brand. OOPS!! can I say DD?" 2009-09-07
By Ryne (CT)

I used to use the Coffee People version. I like that one very much as well. It is bolder than the Timothy's brand(hence the extra-bold signature on the label).I like to ease my way into my day with a lighter cup(DD style)then progress to an espresso or 3 for my final "cups of joe" in the evening. The Timothy's Donut Blend fits the bill for me.Gets me going after a few cups w/o going to warp speed right off the bat.I will continue to purchase the Timothy's version of donut shop or blend, whatever you choose to call it. It's really good, and it saved me about $40.00 a week going to DD. Thanks Timothy's you make good financial sense, and good coffee.

 "great old fashioned taste" 2009-09-22
By Willie Brown (richmond, Va.)

This is like grandma used to make. Taste like your pancake or waffle house coffee. A good original flavor. Not for those who want gourmet dark roast burnt flavor.I drink a variety of coffee and this is my favorite. I still enjoy the other donut shop coffee but this one is more mellow and original. Some compare it to DD coffee. A very close match. If you like that fresh ground flavor from old school restaraunts, this is it. My wife likes kona blend but says this is more flavorfull. Give it a try. If you like the 7 something coffee or DD coffee, youll like this.

Timothy's World Coffee, Kona Blend for Keurig Brewers, Medium, 50-Count K-Cups Review.

 "Smooth and drinkable" 2009-09-19
By Mike D. (Washington State)

I'm a huge fan of K-Cup coffees. I have reviews for several, including other Timothy's roasts. The Kona Blend is one of my three favorites.



This roast isn't as dark as most would have you believe. It is relatively mellow, not burnt or harsh at all. It is pretty strong though, so if you're looking for a "good morning" caffeine buzz this is a good contender. Not as strong as something like Coffee People K-Cup Dark Roast, Extra Bold Jet Fuel for Keurig Brewers, 24-Count Boxes (Pack of 2) or Coffee People K-Cup Extra Bold Wake Up Call Bold for Keurig Brewers, 24-Count Boxes (Pack of 2) but those are much harsher coffees.



Note that if you've had 100% Kona coffee, this isn't the same. 100% Kona is very smooth and unique tasting but far more expensive than this. This K-Cup is a blend that comes somewhat close but not quite, but in my opinion is a good value. If you really want to experience 100% Kona, you can buy it from Amazon. If you get it in pods it's easier to use with a K-Cup machine, like the Aloha Island Coffee KONA-PODS - Medium Roast, 100% Pure Kona Coffee Pods, 36 Count Box.



Well worth the money. Buy a box!

 "As close to real Kona coffee as you will get without spending $50" 2009-11-10
By Honest Abe (Los Angeles)

Understand that this is NOT Kona coffee. Kona coffee, found in Hawaii, is very expensive. It's $55 a pound. It is unrivaled in taste and quality though, the very best. This is a KONA BLEND, with only 10% Kona beans. That being said, it has many of the desirable properties of pure kona coffee: a sweet, non-acidic, fantastic coffee taste that is not overly bitter. It's the best medium blend out there, and for the price, a must buy. This is simply the best coffee you will get in a Kuerig cup. This is not a dark roast however, so if that's what you are looking for, look for the Kona Extra Bold, not this one. So good it converted me to a black coffee drinker.

 "Great cup of Kona" 2010-01-22
By D. Staggs (Dallas TX USA)

For me this makes a great 9.25 ounce cup. I would call it bold, but very smooth and is worth paying a few cents more for. So if you like very bold just use less water.

 "Pleasing Taste" 2010-03-02
By SurferGurl96770

Since buying the Keurig coffeemaker I've tried many flavors. The one that I keep coming back to is this one. Unbelievably smooth, low acid, and almost all the taste of real Kona coffee. For me, its the best of the K cup line. I don't usually like my coffee straight up. This one is the only one that I can drink without cream.

 "No more money wasted at convenience stores for coffee" 2010-04-10

Excellent price, great coffee and fast delivery - bye bye convenience store coffee - 1/2 the price no waiting in line - enjoy fresh coffee with awesome flavor every morning.

Nutiva Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, 15-Ounce Tubs (Pack of 2) Review.

 "Best Tasting Coconut Oil I've Tried: Quality is A+" 2009-10-02
By Kerri Elders (Fort Worth, Texas USA)

Nutiva's Organic coconut oil is the best I've found. I've tried several brands, but nothing tastes as clean and pure as this. There is a definite undertone of coconut, but I like the flavor, even when frying eggs or eating it on cinnamon raisin toast. I recently had bloodwork done and my HDL (the good cholesterol) was an impressive 77---anything over 39 is considered in range; over 50 is heart protective). I attribute this great HDL number to using only coconut oil, butter, and olive oil in my cooking & drinking green tea.



Amazon's Subscribe & Save offer is a great deal; I really like the 2 pack of these smaller (15 oz) jars. We're a small household and I like keeping one jar sealed while using the other. Keep in mind that coconut oil is different than other oils--it is solid at temperatures under 72, so it will look something like shortening in the wintertime. Still tastes great and is wonderful to use in all kinds of cooking.



One more important detail: this is an organic, COLD PRESSED coconut oil. Others may be organically grown, but I've found some brands are hydrogenated to make them solid at room temperature (I won't go into all the reasons this is not a "good thing"). Suffice it to say that any coconut oil you buy should be cold pressed (and that goes for your olive oil, as well). Google to find out why...



Happy eating!

 "Great Product" 2007-03-27
By H. Lawson

I love the smell of this product. I have tried other coconut oils, and they are not the quality of Nutiva. You can use this for so many things. It is a great, light-weight moisturizer. I also love to put it on my hair. It adds a great taste to smoothies, and I have also used it to cook with. This is a very versatile product. I love it.

 "amazingly delicious fresh coconut scent, beautiful white color, versatile, AND ORGANIC!" 2009-07-27
By Mir (North Miami Beach, FL USA)

This is a marvelous product with some interesting health benefits (google it up). You can use it in baking, frying, in sauces, for vegan raw pies, mix with chocolate for puddings, moisturize your hair or skin, soothe rough elbows, etc.



This melts really fast in a pan, so you don't need a high heat. I fry eggs in it, and the coconut taste is subtle. Any ethnic dish that requires sauteeing or saucing and can benefit from a fresh coconut flavor, this is useful. I've cooked meats in it, as well. If you hate the smell/taste of coconut, obviously, this is not for you.



This brand, Nutiva, is organic and virgin. It smells so good. And I have an old jar that I never finished (really big one), and nearly two years later, after sitting right by the stove, it still smells fresh, like Cuban coconut candy my mom used to make. Yes, solid and fresh and white and fragrant TWO YEARS LATER. This is a very stable product.

 "Coconut Oil for Hair & Skin" 2009-09-13
By Jane Tompkins

Nice.



I bought this to add into my hair routine. And so far so good! I combine it with pure organic cold pressed olive oil- my hair loves it.



The quality and texture are great.

I like the containers- they're plastic jars which makes storing them a breeze.



I also use this on my skin sometimes, and it works GREAT. It really saturates into the skin- makes it very smooth and extremely soft. I actually use the olive oil/coconut oil combo on my skin, so I guess its both products at work... but either way it goes it'll leave you with softer skin.



It's a little messy for me because I have to transfer it into a smaller bottle, but I just started using the top of a straw/sippy cup as a funnel and that helps. The smell is strong, if you like coconut you'll love this. I'm not that huge on it, so at times its a bit much for me.





This is the best deal on on this product you'll find- 2 for $16 (and free shipping if you spend $25)... but I still wish it was more like 2 for $10.

 "Wonderful" 2009-08-29
By Island Mommy (Florida Keys)

Great Product. I have one jar in the kitchen. It doesn't spoil so one less thing in the fridge. I use it as a high heat oil for saute veggies. It works well and leaves a very light coconut flavor.



The other jar is in my bathroom. I use it on my skin instead of body lotion. Best ever! A little goes a long way. Can also be used on your hair - condition with some oil, then wash and rinse.



I love it

Coffee People Organic, Extra Bold K-Cups for Keurig Brewers (Pack of 50) [Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging] Review.

 "Sorry Newman's Own Extra Bold blend but I have found a new favorite K-Cup!" 2009-09-17
By Timothy B. Riley (San Antonio, TX USA)

I have been a fan of Newman's Own Organic Extra Bold Fair Trade blend for quite a while now. It has become my "go-to" coffee when using my Keurig B70 coffee maker. However, I am always looking for something new and when Coffee People's Organic Extra Bold came out in Amazon's new frustration-free packaging I had to give it a try.



The first thing that I noticed after brewing a cup was the aroma. It smelled more like freshly ground and traditionally brewed coffee than any other K-cup that I have tried (and I have tried dozens) with a rich, heady aroma. The taste was full with medium-high acidity and a pleasing amount of "bite", as one would expect from a dark-roasted blend. A perfect cup for me when using the 7 1/4 oz. setting but I imagine that some will like the larger cup size as well. I think that this coffee is strong enough to deliver a rich cup even with 9 oz. of water. I also like the fact that it is a certified organic coffee.



As for the packing, Diedrich (who makes coffee under the Coffee People, Gloria Jean and Diedrich name) has worked with Amazon to reduce the amount of packaging needed for their K-cups. All 50 of the pods are in one, heavy-duty box with no additional packaging. I just ripped the top off and stuck the entire thing on my shelf. A nifty way to help reduce waste and a convenient way for me to buy my new go-to coffee!



Newman's Own Extra-bold Special Blend K-cups, 80 Pk for Keurig Brewers

 "FINALLY - My perfect cup of joe!" 2009-10-08
By K. Adams (Riggins, ID)

Previously a 5 star fan of Newman's, I have to wave goodbye. This is the best bold and full flavored k-cup I have tried to date. Coffee People's Organic Extra Bold is officially my daily go to cup of coffee. Great price with the free shipping. Kind of miss the nice boxes to store in my pantry, but can deal with the new packaging. You have to try this k-cup!

 "It really is better than Newman's Own....." 2009-12-01
By Andreas J. Munsey (NC)

I was skeptical as well, thinking that it would be hard to beat the Newman's Own extra bold for flavor. However, the other reviews were correct (IMO.) Delicious flavor, with a very smooth boldness that is hard to beat. Watch out Starbucks! I may never partake of your overpriced brew again!!!!

 "Manufacturer's Quality Control Issues Seem to be Resolved!" 2010-03-14
By G. Stepman (San Antonio, Texas USA)

I love this coffee's flavor and strength, but almost stopped purchasing it because of this particular brand's K-cup packaging defects. The top seals were not sealed and coffee grounds spewed out during the brewing. However, after a time. I ordered another box to determine whether/not the manufacturer had corrected the packaging defects (and because I really enjoyed this particular coffee). The box arrived, I examined each of the 50 K-cups, and every single one was properly sealed. I'm hoping that other "Coffee-People" customers are finding this to be true, also. I'm sticking with this coffee as long as the manufacturer sticks to his quality control practices!

 "New Favorite" 2009-09-29
By Patrick F. Stanley (Vernon, CT)

This is my new favorite K-cup. For those familiar with them, these are very similar to the Newman's Own Extra-Bold Special Blend K-cups. They're also among the most economical to purchase.

O.N.E. Coconut Water, 11.2-Ounce Aseptic Containers (Pack of 12) Review.

 "The Closest Thing to Fresh Young Coconut Juice But In A Box!" 2008-05-22
By Colorgirl (NE US)

My family has been adopting a raw foods diet for the last year, and one of the things we have been able to enjoy is eating young green coconuts.



A young green coconut looks like a woody white cylinder with a point on the top of it. In order to open it, you take a heavy cleaver type knife and you strike it in four sides around the point of the coconut.



You then take off the top and inside you get anywhere from 1/4 to a full cup of coconut water- a clear sweet nectar with subtle coconut flavor.



Drinking this type of juice is a delightful experience, however, it does take some work to get at and is not always convenient- until now.



When I first saw the 11 oz aseptic container of O.N.E coconut water, I was not sure what to expect. I know that I expected it to be flat tasting and probably nothing like I was used to from having fresh green coconut water.



I was wrong.



This coconut water might not be fresh and raw, but it is the closest thing to it that I have come across so far.



The foil wrapped box has about a 5/8" opening (slanted square) that is covered with foil. You peel that off and it forms a slight spout for easy pouring.



It is best served cold, so I kept in the refrigerator.



The water/juice inside is a slightly cloudy clear liquid which has the delightful taste of young green coconuts. There is a refreshing coconut flavor that is not at all overwhelming, but just right.



It has no added flavors or sugars to it, which is delightful. It has only 60 calories which is also a nice feature.



I have compared it to fresh coconut water, and although I do prefer raw fresh water, I am very happy with this as a substitute.



I can say this, my family all fought to taste this stuff- so it made a big hit here.



If you are into raw foods and need to have a beverage which is close to what you are used to and is not cooked to death and sweetened in a package to take on a picnic, trip, or even to work, this is definitely a great item to have handy.



You might like it even if you are not into raw foods, but like the fragile coconut flavor in coconut water- you should give this a try.



I do want to mention that this is NOT the kind of water that comes out of very dark brown dried coconuts- that tastes very different than young green coconuts.

 "The best coconut package out there" 2008-05-28
By Weimarner (New York, NY)

I have tried just about every coconut water company out there (Zico, Harvest Bay, Vita Coco, etc.) and this by far is the best and the closest to the coconut water out of fresh young coconut. Nothing will be beat drinking it right out of fresh coconut but O.N.E comes the closes.



The coconut water is supposed to taste like fresh refreshing, slight sweet water with just a hint of coconut flavor. If you taste strong flavor of coconut, it is probably over ripe or aged. This container also doesn't have any package smell as some of the other coconut water packages have.



Just remember to buy them fresh and chill them before you drink. The flavor is much better when chilled. Highly recommend buying this over the other brands.

 "Best out of 4 Coconut waters I've tried" 2009-02-15
By Brian Ma (San Diego, CA USA)

My mom recommended to me ONE coconut water, and it's great. Great tasting, full of electrolytes, and relatively healthy.



When my Whole Foods ran out of stock, I thought I'd try the alternatives, including Zico and Vita something. Surprisingly, both weren't that great although I think in one case it may have to do with them trying to mix other juices in (i.e. not pure coconut water). Another brand I tried was worse. That's pretty sad because other than good OJ or apple juice, nothing beats coconut water and more people ought to know about it. No matter what brand you try, I wouldn't recommend non-pure coconut water like mango or other juices mixed in because it takes away from it.



I've had coconut water straight from coconuts, and this is as good as I've had. So it was a pleasant surprise when years back they started selling this stuff. In many cultures, Coconuts are a daily staple and the source of a wide range of critical nutrients. It's something people can eat and drink literally every day.



The drink is good like Gatorade after a long excercize. I hate Vitamin water and all the other sports drinks, and somewhat tolerate Gatorade. I'm surprised they don't just imitate coconut water.



Anyways, highly recommended.

 "The real stuff." 2009-01-20
By M. Lauriano

Like a few of the people who wrote a review I was born and raised on a carribbean island... Barbabdos to be exact. When I came here I tried to find coconut water that actually,.. was coconut water and guess what , One coconut water is exactly that.

It taste like the young fresh coconut water that it clams to be from ... loook at the ingrediants no additives just coconut water. There is a difference between young coconuts and more aged coconuts. The older ones are much sweeter :) but the young ones are more refreshing and much healthier.

So if you dont know what you talking about..its not right to leave a negative review, because to really know the difference between coconuts you actually would have to taste the orginal product cut fresh and drink it out the nut.

One... Thanks.. I always crave coconut water during pregancy because there is nothing better than young cocnut water to keep a mother and her baby healthy and you have given me something wonderfull.

 "Includes Handy Straws! Great for Kids!" 2009-06-02
By Midwest Mommy (Midwest, USA)

If I could give this product more than 5 stars, I would! Our family has tried VitaCoco and Zico Coconut Water (both were good) but O.N.E. Coconut water is our favorite because it includes little extendable straws that can be used like a juice box. The handy straw allows you to neatly poke a hole through the foil seal for a no-spill drink...perfect for car rides or letting kids carry their drink around the house. We also drink coconut water when we are ill, instead of Pedialyte or Gatorade (much more healthy). The straw is a great way to get fussy toddlers to drink the fluids they need when they're sick.



I highly recommend coconut water. The consistency can take some getting used to because it's thicker than water or juice, but the nutritional value can't be beat. It is the perfect drink for kids and athletes: an all natural, whole food....slightly sweet with fewer natural sugars than most fruit juices, no artificial colors or flavors, won't stain, packed with potassium and electrolytes, and it actually contains calcium and a little protein! Packaged in small, recyclable Tetra Pak containers (eco-friendly) that contain no PBA like some plastics. You can easily take this coconut water with you anywhere- I always keep a couple in the car and often stick one in my purse (although coconut water tastes best cold). If you have any reservations about trying this product, just go for it! If you really don't like it, you can always sell the rest on craigslist :)

Diedrich French Roast, Dark K-Cups for Keurig Brewers (Pack of 50) [Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging] Review.

 "Why I Drink Coffee" 2009-09-25
By Robert J. Hard (Norwalk, CT United States)

I've been drinking French roast type coffees for about six or seven years now. In the office, Green Mountain is free, so I drink a lot of it. I also buy Starbucks for home brewing, which is not free...My wife recently bought me a Keurig coffee maker that came with a large sample pack. Among the samples was the Diedrich French roast, which sent me back to school. Absolutely the best of its type I've ever tasted. My office coffee, which I once regarded as a gourmet blend, now seems like goat leavings by comparison. If you like the taste of coffee--I mean really like it, bold and beautiful--Diedrich's French roast is for you.

 "This is it!" 2009-10-08
By Harry Tuttle (Utopia, Planet Earth)

I love a smooth, dark roast coffee. Smooth, rich, and dark. This is it. I've been trying as many varieities of bold and dark as I can. This one and Timothy's Midnight Magic are my favorites so far. Parisian Nights is OK, but not quite as nice. I have yet to try an Italian roast. Mixing one of these French Roast's with a Midnight Magic or a Parisian Nights and a shot of REAL Cream is about as good a it gets. An exquisite cup of coffee right here in my own kitchen. Life is good :-)

 "Very good coffee" 2009-12-16
By P. Smith (Seattle WA)

I love the Keurig and I tried several coffee k-cups till I found this one. Some of the darker roasted coffees are bitter but this one is just perfect for my taste.

 "Great strong coffee" 2009-10-12
By Coffee Lover (Roseville CA)

We tried both this French Roast and also the Donut Shop coffee. This is a much stronger and more flavorful than the Donut Shop coffee. I found the Donut Shop to be just ordinary, but my husband enjoyed that more because it was not as strong. With this French roast, he can only have 1 cup! So it all depends on taste. I will definitely order this again!

 "SMOOTH AND BOLD!" 2009-12-15
By Virginia A. Ledden (New Jersey)

FINALLY a bold and delicious flavor that satisfies my quench for strong coffee that tastes like a good cup of jo! I live for my morning coffee to get me up and going. This does the trick for me. I was sooo tired of the brown water that people call coffee that is so bland and tasteless. I would highly recommend this to anyone who likes coffee on the stroner side. Enjoy!!

I drink a lot of coffee and this brand is one of the better ones. Their flavors are great and the coffee doesn't taste bitter and strong like other brands. I've ordered this brand several times-they have a great Butter Toffee flavor which is heavenly!

I never cared for coffee UNTIL I purchased a Keurig coffeemaker and after trying several coffees, I ordered Gloria Jean's Coffee. I purchased the variety pack and now must have my daily coffee break!

There is not one coffee I dislike from the variety pack. They are all so good and so fresh tasting. I love Gloria Jean's coffee.

 "Great Coffee" 2008-12-14
By Susan Crowell (Syracuse, NY)

This was all we expected of it. The coffee was flavorable, smoothe and great tasting! Enjoyed each cup. We wish more variety packs were available so you don't have to drink the same thing everytime without having to buy full boxes of each kind. Toffee was my favorite. Cappachino was a bit on the strong side. We would order again!

 "The Greatest" 2008-12-26
By Beverly A. Zapata (Hemet Ca.)

I truly love this coffee. It is smooth with no bitterness. I have been a coffee drinker all my life, which is a very long time, and this is really the one for me. Every once in awhile I drink a darker flavor, but I have found that most of the flavors in this variety, suffice.

 "Great coffee at night!" 2009-05-16
By J. Pustka

If you like flavored coffees and don't want them to be very strong, I think you will be pleased with this variety pack. I like the coffee that I drink during the day to be a little stronger, so I mainly drink this as an after dinner coffee.

Coffee People Wake Up Call K-Cups for Keurig Brewers (Pack of 50) [Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging] Review.

 "Simply the BEST strong coffee I have found." 2009-07-13
By Duckman (Monadnock Region, NH, USA)

I was given a top of the line K-Cup coffee maker last Christmas. In the next several weeks I tried numerous blends. Several were quite good but Coffee People's Wake Up Call was (and is) without doubt the best by far. In fact it is so good that I am still consistently amazed when I make a cup.



"Wow, this is good coffee!" I think to my self.



I've brewed good coffees many other times over the years but the excitement and satisfaction always faded leading me to try something different. Not so with Wake Up Call. Yes, it is that good!

 "ooooooooooo delightful coffee!" 2009-07-01
By A. Chandler (Austin, TX)

I acutally used to be a salesrep for Aramark and sold ONLY coffee to large corporations. Because of that, I had to learn the beans inside and out and so much else about coffee taste.



That's no longer my career, but I still search out good beans for my own morning wake up call.



This is one of my favorites.



Coffee beans break down in taste via 2 main elements: light and oxygen



FRESHNESS: The individual cups, therefore, prevent you opening up a bag daily and exposing your beans to what ruins the taste and freshness each time you open the bag: light and oxygen. This is a good and brilliant thing with the Keurig because you can use cups like these that remained sealed rather than one individual bag that gets opened each day. . Individual cups mean they are opened but once. Total freshness.



TASTE: But none of that matters if the taste of the coffee isn't great to start. And this is. I'm still picky about a rich, full-bodied roast with my eggs each day. This is soothingly wonderful and is a staple in our kitchen. It's dark and rich and full-bodied and very smooth.

 "3 Hours Sleep + Wake Up Call = Functional" 2009-12-18
By Kevin Nicholls (Milford, MI)

Wake Up Call is angry. Angry at sleep. Angry at you. I love it.



I like dark roasts, and I especially like drinks that can deliver as much caffeine as quickly as possible. What I often find though, is that dark roasts often come with a bitter and / or acidic aftertaste (I'm looking at you, Jet Fuel). Wake Up Call, however, is incredibly smooth.



On the medium setting, Wake Up Call is consistently decent and full-flavored. It's passable on the large setting, which I find uncommon. Really, though, medium is where it's at.



And caffeine? Well, every morning, I brew one cup on medium, and one on small, which fills my Contigo Double Wall Stainless Steel Vacuum Insulated Tumbler perfectly. By the time my cup is empty, I'm ready to tear the heads off of all who would oppose me, and scream at their corpses. I mean that in the best, most awesome way possible.



If you're not ready to commit to 50 of these, consider picking up the Coffee People Extra Bold Variety Pack, and try out Jet Fuel, Black Tiger, and Organic (as well as Wake Up Call, of course).

 "Definitely a wake-up call in the morning!" 2009-10-14
By Vicki M. Stevens (Portsmouth, VA)

My challenge with the Keurig is to find K-cups that make a strong enough brew to fit my BIG coffee cups without making my coffee too weak. The Wake-Up coffee delivers! It would probably be too strong for my taste for the smaller coffee setting, but it's perfect for the larger coffee sizes. I'm looking forward to trying some different brews from them and see if they're all as flavorful without being bitter.

 "Outstanding Brew" 2010-05-10
By Ronald C. Cantrell (Holly Springs, MS. United States)

One of the most flavorable and aeromatic brews that I have had. I really enjoy this coffee, tried many different ones but for me this rings supreme.

We like our coffee dark and this one handles the job. Even when using the 12oz. setting on the coffee maker, this stuff is thick. If you like strong coffee, you can't go wrong with this one.

 "Finally, a good cuppa Joe!" 2008-10-06
By Sheryl (Southern California)

I've had my Keurig for almost a year and have not been happy with the wimpy strength of the K-cups. Emeril's "Big Easy Bold" delivers a good strong cup of coffee. Hooray!!

 "Best K-cup there is!!!" 2009-04-29
By A. G. Sinclair (East Bay, California)

I have tried many varieties of k-cups and this one is by far my favorite. Having said that, this cup of coffee is not for the faint of heart. This is the strongest, boldest cup of coffee I have found. It has almost a burnt flavor that I adore! When this coffee is brewing the aroma is just about Heaven!! If you prefer a more mellow blend I don't think you will like Big Easy too much, but personally I don't like the flavored cups which taste diluted to me. You know you are drinking a strong, flavorful cup of coffee when you pop this in your machine. It will stand up to cream, and is the perfect wake up beverage. I love Coffee People French Roast, and Timothy's Rainforest Espresso, but I have to say they now taste almost ordinary to me after having discovered Big Easy Bold. If you are looking for the boldest, most THERE cup of coffee you have ever prepared, you will not be disappointed, Emeril Rules!!!!!

 "Makes a Great Latte - Here's How" 2009-09-28
By G. Craddock (Beautiful Colorado)

I am a Latte fan - Starbucks has been by favorite for years. Lately I've been tired of spending $4 a cup and having to drive to my local shop to get my morning fix so I started to venture into making them with my K-Cups. I've tried out a few different brands and have found that this Big Easy Bold is great. It is strong enough to keep a good flavor after adding my milk and flavorings.



Here is how I do it:



1 K-Cup - Emeril's Big Easy Bold

3 ounces of milk

1 tablespoon of cream

1 teaspoon of sugar

optional: flavoring of your choice (cinnamon, caramel, chocolate, syrup etc.)



In a microwaveable cup (at least 8 ounces)- warm the milk and cream for 30-45 seconds in the microwave on high. In a large mug brew the K-Cup on the espresso setting. Take a battery operated milk frother like Aerolatte Milk Frother, Satin Finish and spin the milk until it is to your liking. Add the teaspoon of sugar to the milk mixture when you have it almost finished. Pour the milk into the mug with the coffee - stir just a tiny bit and you are ready to enjoy.



If you choose to add the optional flavoring add it to the coffee before combining it with the milk.



Enjoy - you will be surprised that it is actually better than you have had in the store.

 "Big K" 2009-05-22
By Kevin L. Mcferren (Ohio)

I have tried most of the K-Cups on the market. This is the only one I've found that you can make (2) medium sized cups of coffee with one K-Cup and it is not weak. I make a traveler cup every morning and it takes (2) mediums on the B-60 brewer to fill it just right. If you plan to make just one medium or large cup it will be just as advertised, "Extra Bold". Great coffee.

Timothy's World Coffee, Colombian Decaffeinated for Keurig Brewers, Medium, 50-Count K-Cups Review.

 "The Best Decaf Out There" 2009-08-07
By Katt G (NY)

Because a kind soul brought her Keurig into work, I got to try Timothy's Columbian decaf. The coffee doesn't have any of the after taste associated with decaf. It just tastes like a smooth cup of coffee. After my colleague took her machine home, I craved another cup of that coffee. So, I bought a Keurig and began searching for the best price I could get on Timothy's Columbian Decaf. Thank you Amazon for making this 50 pack offer. The deal is even better if you "subscribe and save."

 "Good coffee, great price" 2009-12-10
By C. Johnson (Ellensburg, WA)

When you have to drink decaf and you live in a small town with limited selection, you learn to not be especially picky. We love our Keurig brewer, but we were paying premium prices for K-cups at our local grocery store. We found better deals at the Keurig website, but as I'm always on the lookout for a bargain, I was thrilled to see a medium-roast decaf K-cup that I'd tried and liked, available on Amazon's Subscribe and Save. The deal is great: I'm paying less than 40 cents per cup! This decaf is smooth, mellow, not bitter, and not too dark. I would imagine that if you prefer a dark roast, you'd find this too weak--but it's perfect for my rather tame taste in coffee. I highly recommend it!

 "Full flavor with a medium roast" 2009-11-09
By Morganna Wolf (Pacific NW)

I like this roast because it has a full smooth flavor without a burnt aftertaste. I have tried alot of K-Cups and I have learned that for me I really prefer roasts like this and Timothy's World Coffee, Kona Blend, K-Cups for Keurig Brewers, 24-Count Boxes (Pack of 2) which are medium to mild roasts. Timothy's coffee have been some of my favorites.

 "Timothy's Columbian decaf k cups" 2009-12-26
By grissom "E" (Cape May, NJ USA)

I think I'm thoroughly hooked on the Timothy's Columbian decaf.

It has a great flavor and not at all bitter. I started out with

the 24 pack and have since ordered the 50 in a box. I think I

will make a cup right now!

 "Excellent" 2009-08-17
By Anna Zheng (Boyds, MD)

This is an excellent product. It has a smooth taste, no bitterness, rivals some of the best premium coffee I have tasted.

Pampers Sensitive Baby Wipes Refills, 192-Count Packages, Pack of Four (768 wipes) Review.

 "The flap is back." 2009-11-01
By Michael McClure (Seattle, WA)

I don't have anything to add about the quality of this product. They are good. I just wanted to update folks with the fact that I just received a shipment of these and the flap that allows you to open and reseal the package is there. I still have packages of the old ones (we still had a whole box of the ones we ordered over a year ago when my toddler needed them, and we opened it with the arrival of our twins) and the only difference between the old packaging and new packaging is that the old packaging has an arrow and "open here" right by the resealable flap. Now there is no printing indicating the existence of the flap, but it is there.

 "Great for sensitive skin; packaging holds up to repeated use" 2009-01-06
By Simbolina (Bellevue, WA USA)

These wipes are great. They are very soft and don't irritate my daughter's skin, who is prone to eczema.

They also work in the wipe warmers (when you pull one out, it pulls another one up through the slot like a tissue. The Huggies wipes I tried did not do that, and you had to fish around for a new wipe each time.)

Each package is wrapped in plastic with a resealable strip that holds up to repeated use. The generic wraps I've tried often are packaged in thinner plastic that rips when you try to pull open the adhesive cover, or the adhesive loses its stickiness before the last wipe is used.

I keep a package in every room my baby plays in. If I had one complaint it is that 192 wipes is really overkill for the diaper bag, so I put some in a separate container or plastic bag, but that's the same with all brands I've tried (and it's the perfect amount of wipes for the wipe warmer, which I recommend for anyone who needs to change a diaper in the middle of the night, or whose baby doesn't like to get changed).

 "Pampers are perfect :)" 2008-12-23
By Sarah R. Montee (Milwaukee, WI USA)

We had initially purchased a tub of wipes with the plastic dispenser case - this is the perfect followup to that tub... Keep the tub and buy these - they are very economical if bought from amazon in bulk like this and you don't have to keep throwing away the tubs - these insert packs are great...and with free super-saver shipping you really can't go wrong! (No I'm not paid by amazon, but I know a good deal when I see one) :)

 "BEST WIPES ON THE MARKET, BY FAR!" 2009-03-01
By Bladen's Mommy (Memphis, TN)

I was told to use Pampers wipes and diapers from the beginning, but received some of the Huggies wipes at my shower. I decided to use them and they were like sand paper compared to Pampers brand. Yes, they are thicker, but the Pampers remove the poo just as well, if not better. I went by what would feel best to my baby, and that was the Pampers, as I knew they felt better to me. I can't say enough good things about Pampers wipes and diapers for that matter. I didn't even use the rest of the pack of Huggies, on my baby, I just couldn't do it. I hope this helps any parent trying to choose the best thing for their baby

 "LOVE these Wipes!!!" 2009-08-07
By Kelley J. Secondo (Burlington, VT USA)

I LOVE these wipes!!! They are strong, yet soft/gentle on my little guys tush. Also, for those mom and dad's out there that sometimes forget to close the top of the wipe dispensor.... it's okay. The first wipe might dry out but that's it. I left the dispensor opened all day and only the first wipe dried out.

And for all those messy blow out poops...these wipes can handle the job! I wouldn't recommend any other wipe!

I am very disappointed in Pampers. I received a bulk order of wipes and it's true.... they no longer have the resealable strip. What a huge disappointment in the packaging of this great product!!!! I don't mind using the plastic tub at home but when I travel or provide wipes for daycare, the resealable strip is more convenient. Kelley Secondo

 "The real deal!" 2007-06-18
By Aditi Chang (Natick, MA United States)

Absolutely delicious. As someone who grew up drinking coconut water every day in east Africa, it was hard to live without it in the US. A friend recently introduced me to VitaCoco and it is perfect! Tastes exactly like a fresh coconut, but with the added benefit of being chilled! I LOVE IT. Only wish it were cheaper so I could guzzle it in the quantities I'm used to!

 "Tastes Great and Very Refreshing!" 2008-06-12
By PCamp (Middletown, NY)

My wife has been drinking coconut water since she was little. I have never drank coconut water in my life. I originally picked up some cases of ZICO for my wife a few months ago when Amazon was running a promotion. She liked it and thought it was pretty good. I took one sip and that was all I could stand, and vowed never to try it again! My wife just recently used up all the ZICO so I came to Amazon to buy some more for her. While here, I happened to stumble across the Vita Coco brand and decided to read the customer reviews. I was very happy with what I had read, so I decided to take a chance and purchase a case. It arrived yesterday and after chilling it in the fridge for a while, I gave one to my wife to try. She let out a big MMMMM after the first sip! I was curious, so I deicided to grab my own carton and have a taste. One sip turned into two, and then three, and four, and more! I have to say, Vita Coco is a really great tasting coconut water, and I am now hooked! This may sound silly, but for me the package graphics actually make the beverage more enjoyable!

I originally bought this for my wife, but now I'm back here on Amazon and ready to purchase some more before I end up drinking it all myself! Let me just finish by saying that for someone who had never drank coconut water in his life, and could not tolerate a second sip of ZICO, you can believe that Vita Coco is a great tasting, quality brand that I'm sure you will just love! I only wish it was a little cheaper on the wallet, but it's still worth it in my book. Guess that will make me savor it even more, like a fine wine. I just finished one carton about 10 minutes ago, and now after writing this review, I'm ready to grab another one!

For the record, my intent is not to bash ZICO at all. My wife still likes the taste of it and would still buy it. You may have tried it and like it as well, and that's good! I'm just giving my opinion as someone who has never drank coconut water at all, and found Vita Coco to be the most enjoyable to me. If you're not sure, then give them both a try and see what you think. But if you are new to coconut water, I think you would enjoy the Vita Coco brand and should probably give that a try first.

 "Closest to the real deal!" 2007-08-14
By Varad Arasanipaalai (MD)

I first bought this last month for my wife after delivery. I have bought 10 cases so far in a month! I drank most of them though! I grew up drinking tender coconut water in India to quench your thirst or when sick.

The natural flavor of Vitacoco is very close to the real tender-coconut water. My wife loves this too and she is very choosy when it comes to taste. I drink one when I go home in the evening and I feel rejuvenated drinking this. All natural, no sugars added!I used the coupon coconut4 to get 2 cases for $25 shipped! worth every penny.

 "Refreshing!" 2007-07-01
By R. Taneja (Pittsburgh, PA)

This stuff is soo good that I can never just have one pack! To top it off, it is healthy too. The taste is authentic and there are no preservatives. Till July 31, you can get two cartons for $25!
