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

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.
