"Kahlua Flavored K-Cup Coffee" 2009-11-11
By Rockster (Illinois)
I am having a lot of fun with my Keurig coffee brewer. There are som many flavors of K-cups out there that it is fun trying samples of all the flavors. This is a new flavor that I wanted to try. I have found a lot of the flavored coffees do not taste all that good and only a few brands have decent flavored coffee. What I like about this Kahlua flavor from Timothy's is that the flavoring is not overpowering and lets the taste of the coffee come through. It is very pleasant to me and the wife and a good change of pace from what we normally have in the pantry. This is one flavor I will try to keep in stock.
"Puzzled by the negative reviews" 2010-04-10
By G. Balmes (Washington)
Though this is my first K-Cup review, Let me establish my position and reasons I came to this conclusion. First, I am coffee wimp. I drink coffee only with half & half (fat free) and imitation sugar. Second, my B40 has not yet arrived so I used my Krups model 871 Espresso machine to brew my K-cup which, is not all that different than the brewing process of the Keurig machines. Third, I gave up drinking all drinks made up or including alcohol in 1988 due to health reasons but prior to that time I had drank White Russians and was very fond of them I just can't remember exactly what Kahlua tasted like except it was sweet and I enjoyed them. Forth, Wither one likes or dislikes one K-cup over another is purely subjective and I'm not criticizing those who wrote negative review. With that established, lets move on.
When I opened the Kahlua K-cup I noticed a distinct sweet aroma and also a dark roasted bean odor like one might experienced from a Starbucks coffee; so being from Seattle Washington I'm use to that.
I pealed off the lid of the K-cup and emptied it into the Krups filter basket. Tampered it down sightly like one would do for an espresso grind, measured about 8 ounces of water and poured that into the machine and then turned it on.
When the coffee started to drip into the carafe and some steam arose I wasn't sure wither to hold my breath or hold my nose. Much to my surprise I did notice an odor like from a dark roasted bean or from my espresso's I use to make, but nothing offensive. I was a bit perplexed; again I thought of the reviewers who had complained of an offensive odor emitting from their machines during the brewing process.
Upon completion of the brewing cycle, I poured the coffee in my large mug added the Half & Half until it reached a blond- Carmel like color (but not enough to over power the coffee) and the sweetener and took my first sip, with great anticipation. Not bad was my first impression. I actually enjoyed it. It had a sweet but not to sweet flavor and to my mind, a Carmel like flavor with a medium-dark roasted base of a regular coffee. No offensive taste or aroma others had written about and a pleasant after taste that lingered for some time after wards, not to strong nor acidic quite pleasant actually.
My conclusion? Perhaps the other reviewers had a bad batch or this particular flavor needs to be consumed with some cream or cream like dairy product and or a sweetener. Either way, I plan to continue on drinking this K-cup flavor for some time and can't wait till tomorrow to have my next cup.
When my B40 arrives and I have a different result with that machine I will add an update.
"Excellent choice for me" 2010-01-12
By Barcap (Central, NJ)
I was hesitant to choose this particular K-Cup since some of the reviews were less than appealing. However, I am glad that I did. Like many who gave it 5 stars, it has quickly become one of my favorites. Give it a try and make your own decision because I can see why some people love it.
"Good stuff with cream" 2009-11-17
By Richard Ohnsman (Meridian, ID USA)
I'm amazed at the negative reviews here as Timothy's Kaluha has become one of our favorite K-Cups. Both my wife and I drink our coffee with cream though, so maybe if you were just to drink it black you'd experience something different? The only beef I have with K-cups (and this is in general, not just the Kaluha) is that they brew a much smaller cup than I'd like. I almost always have to have at least two cups.
"New Favorite" 2009-11-27
By K. Bellis
Remembering the distinctive Kahlua taste, I wanted to try the Kahlua original coffee pods. It's pleasantly mild with no bitterness. I get a hint of the Kahlua taste more from the coffee's smell than its taste. It has become my favorite.
