Everyone seems to say the coffee tastes great just seems to be a problem about the labeling.So 100% Kona or blends? I prefer blends.

This is a gourmet blend Kona coffee. I like this coffee especially in a french press. I always use this when we make coffee in the press for a crowd...Otherwise I buy 5# bags of Kona blend coffee that we grind for our Keurig.

I have always been pleased with the blend. Quite honestly, with the dramatic cost difference, I have never invested in the 100% Kona.

Kona coffee is special. I used to really like Mandelin from Sumatra, but found this coffee from Hawaii to be even better. When they talk about blends, it's the same with wine - get rid of the less good coffee by hiding it among the really good stuff.I have never liked blends. However, coffee tastes different depending on how you make it. Careful measuring is utmost important to achieve consistency. But it is equally important to use a slow drip filter coffee maker (Kitchen Aid, Braun, etc).

This stuff is a blend. Some blends are fine. This one is not my favorite. To me it is a little harsh and has too dark a roast. (The darker the roast, the harder it is to distinguish different coffees. It just tastes burnt.) My major objection is using the Kona label without specifying a blend. It's a bait and switch.

I like blends better. 100% kona can be very harsh. Another tip is to use distilled water to make your coffee. It really smoothes it out.

Well, every part is plastic, and is in touch with the brewing coffee the whole time. IMO, this does not affect the flavor and/or quality of the coffee.

You know! Good question. I'm not sure but I really enjoy this coffee. I have had super great coffee and this one is right up there on my list of coffee to recommend to people. Super smooth (not acidic) but losses a little flavor if you don't drink it in the fresh timeline.

The biggest thing to note is that this is 100% Kona. most Kona you will find is a Kona blend where they generally use less than 20% Kona beans in the blend.

Has a less acidic yet full bodied taste. We prefer the taste of the Kona Blend. It has a more robust flavor without the acidic after effects.

I recommend calling Mr. Coffee directly. Maybe they have received other complaints from people having the same problem. In my experience, Mr. Coffee is a customer friendly company.

I do not think there is a differance in the coffee , just differant package. I do love the coffee.

This is the best coffee in the world. So rare to find 100% Kona. Everyone figits about the price at $2.10 per cup. We have all paid $5.00 per cup at StarBucks, I'm sure. And that is no where near the perfection of this coffee. If you want a real treat, try it. After finding out how good it was, I made a gift of it to my coffee loving friends. They ALL loved it.

Senseo "Paris" french vanilla coffee using 2 pods beats ANY Keurig result I've ever had ever.I'm incredibly sad that Keurig seems to be doing better. This is a sacrilege!I have to often deal with Keurig coffee in businesses; like hell am I going to deal with it at home too.

I've noticed no change. Still very good coffee in my estimation. I believe most coffee dealers are honest with their product regarding quality. I do believe they try to fudge a bit sometimes with the quantity.

Marley Coffee published statements and package labels state it is: 100% Jamaica Blue Mountain and 100% organic.If you're serious about "organic", you probably already know there is some leeway in the meaning of organic ... but it's a good bet that Marley's Jamaica Blue Mountain is as "organic" as any other making the same claim.The specifications for using the "Jamaica Blue Mountain" label are actually more strict than "organic".An interesting oddity about JBM Jamaica Blue Mtn - produced in Jamaica, but roasted and packaged in CANADA.

I am not sure this IS a blend. And its not flavored or anything like that. Taste is personal of course, but i remember liking it. But then i also like french roast. I like that its organic, coffee is one of the worst things you could get non-organic as far as pesticides go.Its a medium roast but had good full flavor, i will probably order it again soon to refresh my memory but I still recommend it. Cheers!

I don't know? The K cup does not say it but the packaging is different. So maybe? It doesn't taste good. I wasted my money on this box!

Wow...my Keurig came with a yellow Welcome booklet..a 15% coupon for a purchase from Green Mountain Coffee, and some other booklets. And no, I've not seen a K70WR...I'm wondering if it's a counterfeit??!! Call Keurig and see what they say

This is the real thing. Yes it is super expensive, but watch out for the "Kona Blend" types. Some are OK, but they count on you seeing the word Kona and buying. You want 100% Kona, like this brand. There is another brand on Amazon that wants $78 for 16 K-cups of 100% Kona. This is really not a bad price for the real thing!

I was getting the French Roast through S&S; and has gone well for several months. I love the coffee. They just notified me though that they were switching it out for Columbian as FR no longer available with S&S.; Columbian is a medium roast, so I'm pretty bummed. I think I'm going to try the Original instead. It doesn't say if it is light, medium or dark. But many good reviews. Bottom line - I like the S&S; option to get another 15% off of products I use frequently, but they switch out what is available just often enough to be a bit frustrating, but not often enough to turn me off.

We only very recently bought this machine and have only used one brand of beans. So far it has been working well. The beans we use are a Cuban blend called Hialeah from a company named Kana Coffee Roasters. We order them online. They were recommended because sometimes there are small pebbles in beans and Kana's beans don't have them. Those pebbles can mess up the machine pretty badly. So whatever beans you decide to get make sure you check them before you put them in your machine. I hope this is of help to you.
