Coffee had a very bad taste.  I have always drank French roast but never any that tasted like that. There is something very wrong with it.  Went to the store and bought some other kind.

coffee, is wifey and my favorite hobby we utilize most of the known ways of preparing it and we scour the net and shops for the perfect bean.  i recognize that most of our likes come from what we grew up tasting and drinking, so our coffee tastes are compared to folgers or butternut, however we have made an effort to expand our coffee palettes over the years.  that said i prepared the coffee using a Vietnamese coffee filter system and it was not drinkable, i tried using the chemex system which usually yields a mild result and still no good. french press, nope.  next step is a cold brew which often makes the worst and cheapest beans drinkable, if that doesnt work, i'll give the can to my brother in law, he will hate it but not admit it because he thinks he is a sophisticated drinker of exotic coffees i give him all my nasty beans. lol.

i watched a program put on by illy on creating good beans (actually my favorite espresso bean is lavazza super crema) anyway they talked about a bean they called a 'stinker' thats a bean that if it finds its way into the blend will ruin the blend.  i have found beans like that they have a cheezy smell to them. it could be possible that my can of trung nguyen had many 'stinkers' oh well, do keep in mind that when it comes to taste, whether its food, recipes, or coffee and its infinite varieties of preparation, what makes me gag, may be another persons absolute favorite.

try it for yourself, one can won't break you, if you don't like it you could use it to sepia stain your black and white photographs or i'll give you the address of my brother in law.

well, I loved the stuff.  I really did.  I made pot after pot, day in day out and I was convinced this was the best coffee around.  But the quality has veeeeeeeeeeery verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry slowly been changing.  Its good coffee, don't get me wrong.  But it's no longer superior coffee.  It has that awful back taste that lesser blends or not so fresh beans have...an ugly bite.  No amount of french roasting will cover the fact that a bad bean is a bad bean.

I can't say it's all bad.  It's just not superior.  I hung in there for a while, even mixing it with an expresso bean to ramp it up.  But all I see is that it makes the other coffee taste weak and bitter.  So the search is on again.

it's got everything:
rich roasted bean aroma before it's ground.
freshness
perfect oil balance (the beans SHINE like little patent leather shoes)
perfect acid balance
a touch of chocolate like flavor
winey

fantastic coffee. Now I'm spoiled rotten.  Had to make do with a lesser (although I used to think the lesser was good coffee but now  pftt!) when I ran out, became miserable and surly without my morning perfect cup.  and this IS the perfect cup of coffee.

if you're a coffee person, get yourself a coffee maker that grinds too, because no point in pregrinding and wrecking the perfection.  if you're gonna do it, do it right.

The coffee does not taste good at all. :/ I was very hopeful as this is one of the few water filtered decaf k-cups. It tastes like bad hotel coffee.

I purchased this coffee with full understanding that it would not have a good outcome. I wasn't far off, but the outcome was worse than anything I ever could have imagined.

My wife and I both love coffee, but I've always had a passion for WHOLE BEAN COFFEE. And when I saw this amazing deal on Amazon, I nearly passed out. I was so excited! I promptly ordered this ginormous bag of coffee beans. Little did I know, this coffee would be my downfall.

When it arrived in the mail, I didn't expect it to be so heavy. I don't know what I expected, but it certainly wasn't that. I opened the box before I even got into my house, and it smelled like heaven. I immediately started my coffee machine, and my wife began to pester me about her getting a mug of coffee as well. But I didn't want to share. It was my coffee, after all! I spent my money on it! It wasn't hers to drink. It was mine- ALL MINE.

So I told her no, and I kept on telling her no on the days she would ask. She would beg for coffee. Sometimes I would find her in the kitchen at 2:00 AM, trying to steal my coffee. I knew then that coffee was coming between me and my wife, and I accepted it. I let it happen.

Eventually, me and my wife separated because of "complications". She didn't say it, but I knew it was the coffee. I knew it. I tried to throw away the coffee, but I couldn't. It was like a magnetic force that just kept pulling me back. I started to hate the coffee. I hated the taste, the smell, the coffee-stained mugs. But I couldn't stop. I couldn't stop drinking this coffee. I went to therapy, but they couldn't fix my obsession with Blackbeard's Revenge.

To this day, I am crying over coffee. Thanks to this coffee, I now hate WHOLE BEAN COFFEE and PIRATES.

This batch was horrible.  Since most regular coffee were out of stock, I tried this one.  It tastes and smells awful.  Do not buy this flavor.

It was way too weak for me, no flavor. The company did inquire when I first bought it and I let them know what the problem was. I do use a french press for making coffee so maybe that's the reason.

This coffee might as well be water. I ordered the Donut Shop blend and found it to be pretty bad. I'm not a coffee snob at all but there was very little taste to this coffee. Pretty disappointed.

I used to purchase a different brand. I purchased this brand once and I loved it.  So I proceed to buy it again, but the second time; the taste was completely different.  It tasted like the beans where raw. I purchased the medium roast.  At the beginning I believed it was my coffee maker that was not warming up the water enough, so I used my French press and really hot water, the taste did not improve.
Long story short, the first time was great, the second time was a completely different experience.  For a product that expensive I would expect consistency, not trial and error.

I would not recommend to a friend just for the lack of consistency. Again, the first time I bought it, it was the best Kona I had tried, yet the second time was dramatically subpar.

This flavor of Folgers just tastes burnt. At first, I thought it was the Keurig but I've tried it in several different keurigs and still it tastes horrible. I'm a bit surprised at how disgusting this tastes because when I use the same classic roast in a regular coffee makers, it tastes fine. Since my jobs only have Keurigs, I decided to invest in this and what a waste.

I normally use the Coffee Bean & Tea pods but wanted to give this a try. This is coffee is horrible tasting. I even tried using 2 pods to see if it would taste better and nope.

Coffee either was bitter or did not have much flavor.  I normally drink my coffee black, but I had to add cream to get through it.

terrible!  I have had all sorts of hazelnut coffee for other coffee machines, at the gas station, local bakery, etc. Everything is tolerable or even good.  I have never had such a -bad- tasting cup of coffee as when I bought and brewed this coffee. And sadly, I bought in bulk.  I wish I had listened to other recent reviews.

I always buy kona blend coffee through Amazon (Jeremiah's Pick 5 lb bag whole beans) but I ran out and thought it was a good time to experiment with a different brand. YUCK!  My bag of Jeremiah's Pick came today and I was so glad. The Don Francisco coffee looked different and smelled funky. Tasted the same. It was muddy and took much cream to disguise the taste. No more experimenting for me!

Great foam but the coffee tastes terrible.  I had a Jura for 11 years and loved the espresso. The foam is great but with horrible coffee.

I had such expectations when I ordered this coffee cake, unfortunately, it had a terrible after taste. Very disappointed. My search is still on for a great coffee cake!
