What's the difference between these flavors as far as stronger bolder taste, flavor types etc. JAVA / BREAKFAST BLEND / FRENCH ROAST?

French Roast: Boldest of the three, with a bit more acidity than I care for. It's a fairly standard French Roast, so neither as intense nor as bitter as Italian Roast or espresso. Needs 6 ounces or less of water brewed through it to hold its intensity of flavor, though. Java Love is your typical Colombian style coffee and Breakfast Blend is mainly an even weaker version of that mixed with another roast. Neither is strong enough to be called coffee, in my opinion, when using even 6 ounces of water brewed through a standard K-Cup brewer.

French Roast is a stronger bolder taste than Breakfast Blend, not sure about the Java but I had the Java Love one and it was also not as bold as the french roast. It would probably be stronger than breakfast blend too. Hope that helps!

I would suggest going to the website for each and look at the ingredients to see where they might differ. I have not used coffee tamer but have and continue to use JAVAcid with good results.

It is extra bold -- very nice French Roast -- I have it for breakfast every day. If you buy a new Keurig 500 series brewer, beware -- these cups don't work in them, even those with the Keurig logo on them!

I found it to be neither bold nor flavorful. With other decaf pods (specifically Peet's), I can get a bold flavorful full mug of coffee (I use the same pod twice on the medium cup size setting on our Keurig). With this coffee, even just using the smallest cup setting one time it was very watery and not flavorful. My wife tried the breakfast blend and found that was quite good, but she was very surprised at how lacking the decaf was in flavor compared to the breakfast blend.

The Italian Roast has kind of a burnt taste. Maybe a darker roast then the French. I have had the French before and liked it better. Had been getting the Poor Man's Blend and really liked it. I am not a real strong coffee drinker.

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.

I have only tried this brand and I got it for my husband who loves his coffee in the morning. He says this brand of Kona is milder than most that he's had. It doesn't have that bold taste that he's had with other Kona coffees he's tried.

Even the breakfast blend is too strong. The flavored coffee is ok. I purchased the solo basket to use my own blend.. I will see if that helps.

I use slightly more when I am drinking bold coffee, but with a medium or lighter blend coffee I use tsp for tsp.I hope this helps you.

As far as "wake up" power, they seem to be on the same level, however, for our taste the Fogchaser had a slight bitter aftertaste as if it were roasted a little longer or higher temp. - if you prefer coffee strong with a "bite" then Fogchaser, if you like coffee strong with a "smooth" then French Roast, hope this helped.

I assume what types---French press coffee has a more intense coffee flavor than regular brewed coffee. It seems more distilled. I grind coffee beans to the suggested texture (about like bread crumbs)

Dark Magic decaf and Barista Prima are MUCH stronger and bolder. I agree that this one tastes watery, which is a shame because I was excited about the organic and biodegradable factor!

It doesn't, this isn't a French roast. It has extra caffeine so it's strong coffee with an extra jolt. Where Brista prima French Roast has a somewhat nut like flavor that is on the more bitter end of the flavor profile.

It is bold coffee, but I don't know how much caffeine it has compared to any other brand. It produces a coffee that is rich in taste and a darker color, but as to the caffeine value, you would have to ask the roaster. I have read online that the more a coffee is roasted, the less caffeine.

The coffee is much smoother, it doesn't have that thick, rich taste of a French press. I found I was able to get more a French press flavor by pouring hot water and stirring the grounds a second time. You'll get more of the oils and the "crema" that way.

I use French roast coffee beans and it is plenty strong. It probably depends on the type of beans and the amount of water you use. It is easy to make it to your taste.

I can't tell a difference in flavor, but I like this one because I kept breaking the glass ones. I think maybe it keeps the coffee hot longer, but I can't say for sure. I also think it looks really elegant.
