Large quantity of a quality coffee. Did it blow me away? No, but still very good.

This is a great coffee I've been using for the past couple of months for Cold Brew method. I would not give it flying colors for taste when doing an aeropress but that's an every once and a while for me so 5 stars still for me.

I also got this at a great price (around $15 on sale randomly) which helped me give this 5 stars, otherwise I'd be tempted to give it 4 stars

Yummy! I brew a strong 12ouncer and pour a bit of frothed milk over it. It's to die for. I haven't tried a strong 6 ounce brew, but I can imagine it would be like Turkish coffee.  Even my 12ouncer is too strong for the wife, so I don't have to share :)  She prefers coffee-flavored water.

Great for trying out different coffees. My problem is that I like a strong dark roast. I usually drink either Starbuck's French Roast or Major Dickason's Blend in K-cups. In this assortment, I've gone through 2/3s of the cups and found maybe two I liked. Proper foaming, coffee fragrance, and oiliness didn't show up much in the rest. Still, that's my palate. Definitely worth trying as your experience may differ.

Very good coffee. I find you don't have to use as much because it has quite a bite! ;)

Nor the same as going to Cafe du Monde....but still good.

i had a little 2 cup french press.  then i bought this.  i am so jacked up on coffee right now.  i can barely breathe.  seems well built and sure pressed the sh*t out of my coffee this morning.  some reviews have mentioned slow degradation, rust, strangeness.  ill keep an eye out for that, but right now its nice to have a press that i don't shatter within a month.

After more than 20 years of loyalty to Green Mountain Coffee, we finally had to find a new roaster. Keurig took over GMC and began pushing the absurd "K-cups" pods, jacking up the prices on their puny 12-ounce bags of beans and allowing their once-excellent service to suffer. Even so, their whole beans were some of the best around. So we tried a number of labels that were good to excellent - - some of them from small local roasters, others from larger and more mainstream operations. I was intrigued by the big 2-lb. bags and the pricing of Don Pablo's coffees, and based on the favorable comments here, decided to try the medium-roast Guatemalan and the dark-roasted decaf. We blend our beans to get a 1/2-caff mixture most mornings, though we occasionally do treat ourselves to a blast of straight caff. We grind our beans every day and use plenty of grounds to make a stiff cup. We typically use a drip/filter brewer, but like our espresso makers, too.

So, to cut to the chase, we're very happy with Don Pablo's and think we will enjoy trying all their varieties. Opening the bag, seeing the consistently-sized beans, and whiffing the heady aroma told me instantly that the quality I wanted was there. Grinding the beans to a fine consistency as suggested by DP helps in achieving good brewing extraction. The decaf is especially impressive in its depth of flavor - - our bag was perfectly roasted, not carbonized, but nearly black, and well covered with oils. THIS is how decaf should be done. The Guatemalan is light and sweet, and while we will buy it again, I'm interested in trying some of DP's bolder beans. All in all, this is really good stuff at a price that is hard to beat in today's coffee market - - maybe even impossible. I hope DP can continue to deliver this kind of quality at such a pleasing price.

Amazing coffee. It has so much flavor. I had stopped drinking coffee so I gave most of my first bag away. I'm back to drinking it again so I ordered more. One for me and also one for my brother in law, who got the first bag.

I got into french press coffee about 18 or so months ago. I quickly discovered Fresh Roasted Coffee LLC, and began my journey through their catalog. Black Knight was an early highlight, nay, THE early highlight for me. I knew I liked the variety found with darker roasts, and I assumed my underlying flavor profile was chocolate. Black Knight has a distinct chocolate aftertaste, so much so that a friend of mine, who doesn't like chocolate, does not care for this particular coffee. Having recently reordered a couple bags for the first time since last August (when even then it was gift), I had long held this to be my favorite bag of coffee. . . how does it hold up after a year+ of other coffees and flavors? Well...

Black Knight is not the villainous dark brew that I remember. There's an inviting softness to him, now. Maybe I've gotten bigger, or he's gotten smaller, but there isn't the same intimidation factor on the lip anymore. Two bags deep in my rediscovery of him, I fear his feats of masculinity and general badassery have subsided to a resigned sneer and grumble. That isn't to say that he can't still roll up his gauntlets and beat the hell out of some taste buds, but for those of us that have crossed paths with him in the past, he's basically the schoolyard bully that happened to mature faster than everyone else. What this means for the battle-worn french pressers out there is simple: the Black Knight is an enjoyable, surprisingly smooth, nostalgic trip that is ideal for serving the less bitter of your round table, but is no longer up to the task of slaying dragons.

If I'd never had Black Knight before but had many other dark roasts, this would not be a five-star coffee. It's a little thin and the chocolate aftertaste is more akin to milk chocolate than dark chocolate, and aside from that, there's not much else going on here. Now, if I were just getting into darker, more complex roasts (like when I originally had BK), then this is an ideal choice. This was my first coffee review, and the Black Knight was the first coffee that really wow'd me, so it seemed fitting to come pay my respects. Although I may not revisit him often, I will continue to direct future apprentices in his direction.

I bought this as a lightning deal and didn't expect much.  My first impression is this coffee is shockingly good.  I frequently buy espresso roast for my morning pot of drip coffee.  I like really dark roast coffee and drink it black, but sometimes it can make for a difficult morning cup.  My first sip this morning was an eye opener, especially going from Tim Horton's whole bean (too bland for me) to Verona Street.  At first I was concerned that this coffee was too bold or too strong, but after each successive drink it got better, and better, and better...  This coffee is actually very smooth and low in acid for such a dark, oily, espresso roast.  I'm on my third cup this morning and no sour stomach.

Although it's a bagged with a long shelf-life (something like Dec of 2018) it smelled and tasted very fresh.  It's great coffee.

I absolutely love this coffee. Given the description on the label (Double caffeinated, extra bold, dark roast), I expected some bitterness in the flavor. In fact, at first I ordered it out of curiosity, and planned to drink it as a last resort on mornings when a really need a double jolt of caffeine, and don't mind dealing with a bitter taste in my mouth. Saying that I was surprised is an understatement. This coffee provides a strong jolt, as promised, but still retains a very smooth and rich flavor. It's become a morning staple, and I savor every cup. I have purchased it twice already, and plan to continue.

This little machine blows my mind with how good the coffee is. One of the few items i own that i can say that is worth every penny.

I think it's safe to say that I'm a bit bonkers for this coffee. I tried out this blend when I saw it on sale at my grocery store, and normally only buy coffee at a discount.  I'm used to decent coffee in my morning routines, but I wasn't expecting to be blown away by this coffee - and that's exactly what happened.  This coffee is rich, full bodied, with a lot of chocolate notes that finishes with a bit of a nutty aftertaste. Somehow this extra dark medium roast manages to have low acidity.  I can enjoy this coffee without wincing while I swallow, and the caffeine level is perfect without giving me the jitters.  I like my coffee to taste like coffee, and Seattle's Best Blend no. 4 delivers without all of the negative coffee flavors and mouth feels that come with other coffees.  If you like to disguise your coffee to get rid of the coffee flavor, this one may not be for you.  The coffee presentation is DEEP. There's nowhere for this flavor to hide. Its large and in charge. Go big, or go home.  This blend will allow you to beast any coffee drinking experience.

If you like your coffee very strong you will like this coffee.  If you like your coffee boldly smooth, may this is not your coffee.  I liked it when I used 2 1/2 teaspoons of sugar but it still had a slight off putting taste to me.  Not to say I threw it away.  I finished the whole pack.

as a package deal.  I had never heard of this brand of coffee before, but then again this is the first K cup machine that I've had.

Since the normal price on this coffee seems lower than other brands that I looked at, I had my doubts how good it would be.  However, I was very pleasantly surprised.  Now that I've not only finished this box, but also purchased several other brands for the brewer, I feel like I can give my honest opinion.

The purpose of a variety pack is, of course, variety.  Don't lose sight of that fact.  It is not the manufacturer's responsibility if you don't like every single type or flavor of their coffee.  Some like decaf, some like it stronger, some like certain flavors.  This box gives a very good choice of all types.

I thought the box that they came in was good, the artwork on the top of the cups was cute, and the names were creative.  There were some cups, of course, that I enjoyed more than others.  My favorites:  Maple Sleigh, Cinnamon, Boardwalk, Breakfast Blend.  My mother drank  the decaf,  and enjoyed it.

I had planned on ordering this box again, but it is presently unavailable.  (?)  Since registering my brewer with Keurig qualified me for a price deal on four boxes of cups, I went ahead and took advantage of that while I'm waiting for this to become available again.  Hopefully by the time I work through those 4 boxes, I'll be able to order this one again.  I like being able to choose a coffee type or flavor depending on my mood, and this was a good quality coffee.

I generally set a goal of .50 per k-cup as my benchmark of a good deal.  And that assumes the coffee is generally just OK.  Brooklyn Beans exceeded my expectations!  There must be over a dozen flavors here and the coffee is fresh, great aroma and an excellent taste.  They give a run for the money against Starbucks, Green Mountain, etc. at 25% less cost.  I will be buying again for sure.

Having been a Lavazza loyalist for a few years now, I picked this up on a clearance at Krogers after their Italian event sale ended.  My Krogers is kind of small and much of these specialty items don;t make it on a permanent basis.  I wasn't expecting much, but for the price, what the heck?  It blew me away.  Rich, balanced for a strong brew.  I guess I'm gonna have to find a local source as I don't like ordering over the web.

I upgraded from a less-expensive blend and find this well worth the modest increment. Very flavorsome coffee even at standard American proportions. This one may be a keeper.
