The BEST extra bold K-cup out there!
My wife and I love this k-cup. We’ve tested all the extra bold dark roasts out there. In fact, we did blind taste tests and pitted Timothy’s Midnight Magic vs. Green Mountain EB Dark Magic, Gloria Jeans EB Black Gold, Van Houtte’s Eclipse EB, Green Mountain EB Espresso Blend, Green Mountain EB Sumatran Reserve, Timothy’s EB Parisian Nights, Coffee People EB Organic, Coffee People EB French Roast, Tully’s EB French Roast and Tully’s EB Italian Roast. Yes, we honestly tested them all. Many of the other contenders are fine coffees in their own right and without direct comparison to Midnight Magic, they’d be a fine k-cup. But when compared directly with Timothy’s Midnight Magic, we found we chose it every time in blind taste tests. It amazed me when my wife picked it every single time.
There is no way you’d be let down by this k-cup if you like extra bold, dark roasted coffee. It’s just perfect!
A must buy for Keurig owners!
Our Top Choice Coffee
When my wife and I had to make a selection from more than 100 varieties of
K-Cups available for our new Keurig brewer, we made a rating sheet copied
from the Keurig listing of all the brands and types. We marked a rating
of one to five points for each cup we drank for several months. A rating
of one point meant “Perfect, couldn’t be better”, and five points
indicated “Don’t like this one”. We rated one to nine cups of each of 30
coffees evaluated. Timothy’s Extra Bold Parisian Nights came out on top
with the most number one ratings.
We found that our preference was for the Extra Bold Roasts. We do not
prefer the weaker strengths. The Parisian Nights has great flavor and
aroma with no bitterness. This is a great cup of coffee.
We’re now on our sixth Subscribe and Save shipment of 4 boxes every two
months which proves our satisfaction with this coffee.
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…
