"The BEST extra bold K-cup out there!" 2007-07-17
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 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.
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 K-Cup, Full-flavored and Not Bitter" 2007-01-26
By R. OSullivan (Los Angeles, CA United States)
This is excellent and the best I have found for the Keurig maker. I tried all the assorted flavors that came with the Keurig and they were all weak and horrible. I didn't know whether to blame it on the machine or the coffee, so I read some reviews and tried the Midnight Magic and the Rainforest Espresso. Both both make a great cup of nice, strong, flavorful coffee that is good enough to replace my daily Starbucks run.
"Great K-Cup coffee!" 2008-01-20
By Mike D. (Washington State)
This was my first coffee order for my new K-60 that came at Christmas. I read the reviews for virtually all the K-cups that Amazon offers and chose this one based on its consistently high rating. The name scared me a bit, but I had to give it a try.
I am very happy with this choice. Midnight Magic is strong but not bitter or harsh. Its smooth and strong flavor comes through the half-and-half and Splenda that I drown all coffee in. I'm not quite the coffee-gourmet that others are so I can't say crazy junk like "hint of chocolate" or "strong notes of bark." I just know it tastes like strong, smooth, non-bitter coffee and I like it.
Its caffeine buzz factor is about average for a cup of coffee, so don't let the name fool you into thinking you'll spend all night staring at the wall and shaking. It packs no more chemical punch than the weaker-tasting brews, and you get to enjoy the flavor and complexity much more. I currently have Midnight Magic in the rotation as my wake-up cup and it does well there.
I will still try a few other K-cup varieties including the Coffee People selection. But I will always keep a supply of Midnight Magic on hand in the future.
"Best of K-cup" 2007-01-25

This is the best of the Timothy's K-cups. It's strong and flavorful. Closest thing to the Black Magic by Green mountain. With Amazon jacking up the prices I'd say this is the best deal.
"I finally found my K-cup!" 2008-02-01
By Nicky's Mom (New York City)
This is my favorite k-cup and I have tried many of them. I like strong coffee and use the smallest cup size. Midnight Magic makes a perfect strong, rich and flavorful cup of coffee. Not bitter. Very tasty and it holds up to half & half. I have a cup every night after dinner for "dessert". It also makes a great iced coffee since it holds it's flavor and does not taste watered down. Love it.
