Got one for Christmas.....
Was a good choice for me because I'm only an occasional coffee drinker at home.....primarily on weekends.....and because I can't stand some of the concoctions my wife throws together in her morning pot. She's pretty much a 100% decaf drinker, and usually adds some of these flavored (as I call them) coffee "beverage" brews to the mix. The aromas are as weird as some of the flavors. I can deal with the decaf, but not the other stuff.
Like many, I myself like the straight-forward and basic Donut Shop brand as much as anything, and get the impression it's among THE most popular varieties among ALL K-Cups. I also just received a shipment of equivalents of differing brands.....two Green Mountain and one Caribou....though I think Green Mountain has its mitts in just about everything that goes into a K-Cup (maybe they own the concept).
Anyway, I tried Green Mountain's "Our Blend" for the first time this morning, and I don't think I can recommend it. While I admittedly tend toward lighter brews, this one is downright weak (at least in a roughly a 10 oz cup). Will have to try it with a bit less water next time and see if that helps. Still have GM's Breakfast Blend and Caribou's Daybreak to try out.
I'm curious if anyone else has tried.....and liked....Our Blend; I'm also interested in recommendations of other brands.
