Great too have a variety to choose from.some good some not so good but all in all a great tasteing coffee
Good move on Diedrich's part. instead.Sumatra a 4, Good tasteFrench Roast a 5, the best of the 5 typesMorning Blend a 1, weak and really bad. It had 5 types of coffee. I like a bold coffee so I would rate them as:Columbia a 3, OK but a little weakColumbia Decaf a 3 also, I would recommend Green Mountain Dark Magic Decaf. Apparently they don't include it in this variety pack any more.
I expected more from Amazon. I haven't gotten through both boxes yet, but I've found at least one cup punctured, leaking coffee. I don't know if this is par for the course, but when I got my K-Cups, both boxes were leaking coffee. What a mess. That's just not cool.
I'll look for and try other variety packs, but not one that is a "pack of 2" item. I will not get this box again, because our only favorite is the morning edition (and we're also already buying the sumatra as a solo box) and I don't want to have to drink the others. One box has the sumatra (which we have already been buying and like), the columbia (which is a lot like the sumatra), the french roast (which is not as bold and flavorful as expected) and the morning edition (which is a nice bolder step up from the sumatra or columbia). I'd like to only buy 1 box of this variety pack, instead of having to drink through so many of the same blends. This item should be 1 box with 3 or 4 of the k-cups of 6 or 5 varities, so you can try one or two, share the others, and not be stuck with so many similar unimpressive blends.
I didn't dislike the Morning Edition, but I wouldn't buy it separately. I saw this sampler and thought I would give it try since it included some French Roast as well. I started with their French Roast, which I highly recommend. The Columbian is fruity and lighter than a Starbucks Columbian, but good. I will start by saying that I prefer Starbucks bold coffees. I have sampled just about every K-cup out there, but I like Diedrich cups the best. I really like the Sumatra and would compare it to a Starbucks Verona.
