I'm wondering why the ingrediants state that this is a flavored coffee? This is Italian Roast there should be no flavorings added?

They have oil, because I purchased an espresso blend. But they are not oily like thst of an Italian roast, nor of a heavier darker espresso

I does well. You can set the heat level and the time for roasting. You are going to judge the roast by sight and smell so you have to experiment a bit. Record your results so that you can duplicate the process. If you over roast and everything has carmelized you just have a dark and tasteless brew. I truly do love my SR500. I've learned that slightly lighter than a Full City roast gets most of my beans, whatever the source to the place that I like. Sometimes I adjust but that's normal with green beans from different sources and moisture content.

The matter of caffeine content by roast isn't as simple as darker coffees having less caffeine, depending on how you brew, grind, and measure, either can be said to have more but the difference is so negligible that it's not really a factor worth much note. The choice of dark roast for this coffee was probably a decision made for taste, since this coffee is almost certainly artificially enhanced the dark roast makes for a stronger coffee taste to mask any additions to the grounds.

I use 8 oz of water and the flavor is okay, but I've switched to darker roast coffee because I like stronger flavor. I prefer Caza Trail Dark Roast or Green Mountain Dark Magic (very strong). Italian Roast in most brands is pretty good, too. Avoid Dunkin Donuts or Gloria Jeans if you don't want weak coffee, though.

yes, its a dark roast but not bitter. Some dark roast coffees have a bitter taste but this one is smooth. I suggest that when you make it use a little less than normal because it can be strong in taste.

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!

The brewed temperature is very good..The taste depends on the brand of coffee used. So far all brands have brewed well..

It must be finely ground, as a for espresso (finer than American coffee and rawer than the Turkish one). About the flavor, it depends by your taste, but I prefer to avoid artificially-flavored coffees.

no it does not have a vanilla flavor. It is a mild to medium flavor French roast

Because it is whole coffee, I grind it each time I make a pot and it is fresh always. Refrigeration probably helps as well. But I have not experienced loss of flavor.

You have to use ground coffee, or pods. Just don't get real fine ground coffee or it won't allow the water to seep through for expresso. I actually use either starbucks ground or safeway select italian roast.

I've used the components of the cappucino and hot chocolate together and it's pretty good (although it ain't no Starbucks, ya know?). But I must say, I'm debating returning the thing, as well. The temperature of the beverage is lukewarm, and the coffee tastes watery and burnt, although there was a post in here about a suggested remedy. I also agree with the recent post about feeling remiss diiscarding those discs that will decompose around the year 20,000. Does anyone know if there's a calorie/fat mesurement on the creamer that's used for the cappucino?

Yes - there is an unflavored decaf and about 1/2 the coffee is flavored and 1/2 is unflavored. The unflavored has a range of light roast, medium, French,bold & extra bold. It's a good sampler -

Before I found this Italian Roast, I was a French Roast drinker. I prefer the Italian Roast. It's worth a try!

It is full flavored decaf.I mix it 1/2 and 1/2 with my standard grind decaf coffees and use it all the time for a wonderful flavor from my regular drip coffee machine!!

no, Italian does not taste like French Roast...it is bold, but another taste......the only way we can use the tullys French Roast now, is to either use 2 K -cups per mug, or reduce water to "tea cup".We loved the coffee, why fix what is not broken?...it is NOT the same as the all brown foil tops
