An extremely flavorful light-roast coffee

One of the pleasures of a Keurig is that you can serve a friend or a guest a cup of coffee that will please them and their tastes not just what you brew for yourself everyday. I happen to enjoy strong deeply roasted blends (the kind that you usually find at the specialty coffee shops which seem to be all over the place now). However not everyone shares my enjoyment of a strong full-bodied cup of coffee.



I have many friends who often say something like "I love coffee but Starbucks is just too strong for me". Enter Donut Blend. I have purchased many boxes of Coffee People's Donut Shop Coffee and it is a favorite for many of my friends and family. When Timothy's announced that they were coming out with the "Original Donut Blend" I got in line to try it. Here is my take on it:



It is certainly a little lighter than Coffee People's version but the taste is more complex with clean bright notes of spice and low acidity. Surprisingly it reminds me a little of the Peaberry Kona coffee that I brought back from Hawaii. It is a perfect blend for those who like their coffee black or with just a little cream and still want it to taste like coffee. If someone drinks several cups a day I think that Timothy's Donut Blend will not overwhelm their taste buds and will still taste fresh cup after cup. Mind you I drink Newman's Own Bold Blend on a regular basis and will continue to do so but if I am having more than two cups (for those "special" mornings when nothing seems to go right) or if I am having a cup later in the day I will drink this one.



Just rating it on what I want in a coffee I give it four stars but judging it for what it is (and not just what I like) it fully delivers and deserves five stars.

The Best Decaf Out There

Because a kind soul brought her Keurig into work I got to try Timothy's Columbian decaf. The coffee doesn't have any of the after taste associated with decaf. It just tastes like a smooth cup of coffee. After my colleague took her machine home I craved another cup of that coffee. So I bought a Keurig and began searching for the best price I could get on Timothy's Columbian Decaf. Thank you Amazon for making this 50 pack offer. The deal is even better if you "subscribe and save."More detail ...

Smooth and drinkable

I'm a huge fan of K-Cup coffees. I have reviews for several including other Timothy's roasts. The Kona Blend is one of my three favorites.



This roast isn't as dark as most would have you believe. It is relatively mellow not burnt or harsh at all. It is pretty strong though so if you're looking for a "good morning" caffeine buzz this is a good contender. Not as strong as something like Coffee People K-Cup Dark Roast Extra Bold Jet Fuel for Keurig Brewers 24-Count Boxes (Pack of 2) or Coffee People K-Cup Extra Bold Wake Up Call Bold for Keurig Brewers 24-Count Boxes (Pack of 2) but those are much harsher coffees.



Note that if you've had 100% Kona coffee this isn't the same. 100% Kona is very smooth and unique tasting but far more expensive than this. This K-Cup is a blend that comes somewhat close but not quite but in my opinion is a good value. If you really want to experience 100% Kona you can buy it from Amazon. If you get it in pods it's easier to use with a K-Cup machine like the Aloha Island Coffee KONA-PODS - Medium Roast 100% Pure Kona Coffee Pods 36 Count Box.



Well worth the money. Buy a box!More detail ...
