Coffee People Jet Fuel K-Cups for Keurig Brewers (Pack of 50) [Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging] Review.
"Extra Bold Flavor and Green Packaging (Finally)" 2009-06-26
By D. Figueroa (Manzanillo, Colima, Mexico)
My husband likes his coffee extremely strong, so much so that I brew the 5 oz cups and double up on the kcups in a large mug. Basically, he likes sludge, lol.
He had been drinking Timothy's French Roast, but the price has gone up again and I really despise the packaging. Really...they're kcups, not bone china, why the need for 2 packages, carboard, plastic and another box?
I like the fact that these kcups come in a single box, not as much waste.
Anyway, my picky husband said that this coffee was surprisingly good. I'm happy without the extra packaging and the lower price tag.

"Our favorite extra-bold K-cup--dark, rich, full-bodied" 2009-06-30
By Kathy Grace (Austin, TX, United States)
Jet Fuel is our favorite of the Coffee People "extra-bold trilogy"--Jet Fuel, Wake Up Call, and Black Tiger. It's dark, sweet, and rich, with a fuller body than Wake Up Call or Black Tiger. It has a clean finish and notes of chocolate and honey.
We also love the new packaging. Since K-cups are nitrogen-packed, the coffee doesn't go stale, so the last cup is as good as the first. If there are a couple of dark-roast lovers in your family, a box of 50 will be slurped down in no time. And I have to say that, even though we store them in the back of a dark cabinet, the box graphics are a nice touch. It probably cost them a fraction of a fraction of a cent to make it a little more attractive, and I appreciate that!
When you first got your Keurig brewer, you drank through the sampler coffees... and if you asked yourself, "Is that as dark as it gets??" then I think you'll go for Jet Fuel or one of the other Coffee People EBs.
P.S. You might look into Emeril's Big Easy Bold as well. It was the first big hit for us, and still one of our faves.

We get Coffee People Oranic X-bold through subscribe and save. Imagine my frustration when our last order contained a box of Jet Fuel. I'm pretty picky about my coffee. I don't like weak coffee, nor does my husband. I decided to try a cup of the Jet Fuel, hoping it was at least tolerable so I didn't have to go through the trouble of returning it.
We loved it. We were bummed when we ran out, and we're now going to switch our subscribe and save to Jet Fuel.
"The absolute best so far!" 2010-04-06
By M. Clark (Glen Gardner, NJ, USA)
I really like Coffee People Donut Shop coffee, but since it is a tad on the weak side for my tastes, I decided to try the Coffee People XBold variety pack.
For reference, I have a Keurig B66 which has 3 cup sizes (5.25, 7.25, 9.25oz), and I always use one K-cup for one 9.25oz cup, and I drink it black. I don't make smaller cups to make it stronger, nor do I run extra water to make it weaker. I judge each k-cup in 9.25oz. It should also be noted that I use spring water exclusively in my machine (done for both taste and machine longevity).
I tend to like full-bodied/full-flavored coffee (that doesn't always mean "strong"). Therefore, I tend to like the dark roasts better, which is why I find Donut Shop just a bit lacking (but I like it enough that I still drink it).
After trying the variety pack (and having since bought this item by itself as verified above), I can honestly say that by far my new favorite K-Cup is Jet Fuel (and I've tried at least 15-20 different varieties, not including flavored or decaf coffee). It has full flavor that is really good, but has no "strong" characteristics IMO (i.e. bitter, burnt, dense, etc.). When I took the first sip of Jet Fuel, I immediately thought, "Wow, this is good coffee!"
Highly recommended if you like a full-bodied coffee that doesn't have any bitterness or burnt characteristics, and is not too dense.
"Great coffee at a great price" 2009-07-13

I've been buying this coffee for a while and have found it to be my favorite of all the K-Cup coffees I have tried. It is nice and strong but not bitter or too acid. The price in the new 50 pack is also better than the smaller package sizes.
