Taste of Home

I'm a dedicated dark roast coffee drinker, and I'm always prepared to dislike a dark roast that makes a weak kcup. And I half expected that because the Neighborhood Social flavors are very inexpensive on Amazon. I suspected that meant they kept costs low by using fewer beans or coffee with bad origin. So, the good news is that it's a very acceptable coffee - neither weak or unpleasant in taste. As bold as Major Dickason's? No. But at half the price in a world where budgets matter? This definitely serves a market and I'm happy to include it in my morning rotation. As my headline implies, 4-star flavor at a price that makes it doable for folks who like/need a bargain is worth 5 stars! For a reference point, my morning rotation is : - Green Mountain Dark Magic - Peet's Major Dickason's Blend - Laughing Man Columbia Huila - Neighborhood Social Bold Dark Roast No matter what else you do, PLEASE always review coffee that you try on Amazon. It's super-helpful to other coffee lovers!

Thought I would try a different coffee brand, as my "goto" choice has been S.F.bay Coffee's. But they keep getting higher in price every couple of months. Just no longer worth it. With some research I Found Neighborhood Social, Easy Morning Blend Medium Dark Roast Gourmet Coffee and decided to give it try. WOW !! Great Flavor, Great price per count. And two day shipping too. WOW !! I Love it. You now have a dedicated customer. And a happy one with your price point per cup. I will miss the biodegradable pods we've been using, as they fit into a modification ring I made for my kuerig 2, giving me the extended delivery options for a larger cup when required. Your cups/pods work only if I pre punch the drain hole prior to loading one. I'll look a little deeper in your website for a good Decaf blend, which my lovely mate requests. We received our first order of the morning blend, medium dark roast, just yesterday. And after my first couple of 14oz. cups, I thought, "wipe that satisfied smile off your face and write this review to say THANK YOU". I've passed on your URL to many of my retired friends, neighbors and relatives. As I consume my coffee nearly all day, every day. I'm thankful, and blessed we're acquainted now.

It is - what it is. In a world where sheeple will line up for a half hour, to surrender $10 bucks, for 10 ounces of flavored water, this stuff can be viewed as a bargain - in time savings alone. Once upon a time, coffee was free with a meal, with free refills. On its own, maybe a nickle, dime or quarter. Times - they are a change. Of course, the $10 dollar version comes with artwork patterns in the creamer on the surface, incomprehensible additive combinations - all requested thru a language all its own. All this makes buying a $200 dollar coffee machine that loads pucks of coffee grounds make some set of sense ( or, not - as the case may be) This particular puck of grounds just makes coffee. Not cappuccino, not lattes, not anything exotic. Just medium strength = coffee. It does so for less than $1 dollar a puck, actually far less. If you run the puck twice, for a second cup of decade - it's even cheaper. The cost is ok, the flavor is ok, etc. Packaging (?) - what can ya say? Its a box. For some reason these boxes don't seem to travel well. The box is a fully adequate box. Yet, for no obvious reasons, they tend to take a beating. Even when boxed within another box, they tend to arrive looking like they have been sat on. May be its just me. They see my order an automatically select the remaining reject box twice mangled by a forklift. Not to worry. The pucks inside a d#@m near indestructible. Even the terminally dented ones. Just de-mangle them back in to approximate shape - and, the machine will still produce a cup of coffee. Bottom line: Relatively cost effective. Flavor (for a non-zero connoisseur) is fine. For those drinking for effect, the caffeine content gets the job done.

This is a very light roast. I bought it because it was advertised as medium dark roast but was very disappointed. I like a bold roast between medium and dark and this is a very weak taste. Wish I could exchange it for the Dark roast they offer but no returns/replace on this item so I am stuck with 80 k cups that I will seldom use if at all. UPDATE. I now have the "Dark Bold Roast" and love it. It has a bold taste I really like and unlike other dark roasts, there isn't a heavy after taste. This has become my favorite coffee and the price is great. I prefer a dark coffee and this is perfect.

I purchased this looking for a decent medium roast every day cup of coffee. The price is fantastic, and the reviews were great, so I decided to give it a try. My husband thinks it’s ok, but I find it too weak. It’s drinkable if I use the “strong” brew setting. I prefer a light roast (Maud’s #3 roasts or San Francisco Bay Rainforest Blend are my favorites); this was a medium roast in terms of flavor, but weak in strength. To be fair, I always brew the largest cup size (12 oz), and perhaps it was not designed for that size. Regardless, I will it be purchasing again.
