Timothy's World Coffee, Midnight Magic K-Cups for Keurig Brewers, 50-Count K-Cups Review.
"The BEST extra bold K-cup out there!" 2009-07-28
By L. Chun (Bay Area, CA USA)
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!
"Best we found to a good espresso cup" 2009-08-25
By John Lightowler (West Linn, OR)
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.

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.
"Probably the best "extra bold" K-Cup" 2009-08-10
By Ariel Benzakein (Boston, MA USA)
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".

Timothy's midnight magic is perfect for a strong coffee drinker like myself.I
like all of the bold flavors of the k cups,the other medium types I find too weak.
this brand will delight you.
