French Roast K-Cups Coffee Pack

Finally, a true French Roast. I have always loved French roast but have been unable to find a k-cup that fits my taste. This one is perfect. NICE STRONG SMOKEY perfect flavor. You can't ask for more from a k-cup. My new favorite, don't need any other!

I've been trying the stronger roasts of k-cups and this one is it for me. No more going to the coffee shop. If you like the stronger blends try this one , you won't be disappointed!

My wife tells me I'm overly critical about "her" coffees. She says I'm an "espresso snob" as that's normally all I drink. She says this because I am completely absorbed in the hobby (i.e., passion) of brewing my own from our professional grade espresso machine that I imported from Italy. I counter that the espresso snob label doesn't entirely fit, as I will from time to time have a pod-cup out of her Keurig brewer. (Truth be told, the extreme ease of getting a quick caffeine fix from her brewer compared to the time-consuming process of drawing a cup of espresso from my machine is quite compelling at times.) While some of the cups I've sampled are indeed pleasing, none that I've yet tried are quite in the same class as this one. My first cup caught me completely by surprise. It gracefully treads that fine line between smoky and dark. The teeter-tottering that it does in this realm creates a great deal of interest for the senses. The flavor notes are superb and moderately complex. All in all, it makes for a very satisfying cup. All that said, I do have to say that this coffee is a bit "picky" about the water and brew cycle used to make it. (As a quality coffee, this is to be expected.) I've found that it's always best to start with fresh, cold, filtered water. And, like my espresso machine, I've found that if our Keurig Platinum brewer has been on and sitting idle for awhile (like, overnight) that it is best to pull a blank shot (i.e., run a cup of water with no pod in the slot) before brewing the first cup.

This was a very strong cup of coffee, (I like my coffee strong) but it didn't have the smooth aftertaste I had hoped for.

A little too bold for me.

This is my FAVORITE french roast coffee. It has a very smooth taste and no after taste!

Good strong coffee; rivals Sumatran in boldness, but bitter after taste Still liked it for a wake-up coffee.

This roast is NOT for the faint of heart. In fact it is the most boldly flavored coffee I have had from Keurig. I am from New Orleans and appreciate a good, dark French Roast ..... This is what I drink on a daily basis... However this roast, while delicious, was a bit bold even for my taste.

Everythihng about this coffee is wonderful. From the minute you smell the aroma in the air to the minute you take your first sip this is a coffee you will not soon forget. It has a wonderful bold taste that makes you remember why it is you love coffee so much. It reminds you of snow on the ground and a cabin on top of the mountains with a view of the valley below. Simply wonderful! Enjoy.

Did not taste like a French Roast. Not strong enough.

My favorite of the Barista Prima coffees.

I received this as a free sample. It brews a so- so cup of coffee. The first sip seemed bitter, with a slightly burnt aftertaste. The second sip was better. There was no bitter aftertaste with the rest of the cup. It did have a full body featuring a nice, fairly round, mouth-feel; although, not as nice as Emeril's Big Easy Bold or Timothy's Parisian Nights. I like a very strong roast, and this just didn't seem to measure up to me. It definitely couldn't get me "jump-started" in the morning. Maybe as a nice pick-me-up in the afternoon?

I like a dark roast, full bodied cup of coffee to wake up too. This makes a good cup.

Best Keurig K-Cup I have tried!

Received this in a sample pack, and was pleasantly surprised. I've been drinking Emeril's Bold and Tully's Kona. This was a good change and will add it to my mix.

I like strong coffee. This is a bold coffee with a smooth flavor. My favorite so far.

Had no flavor. It was a little better if I added extra water.

This coffee smells great as its brewing and tastes even better! It is a very dark roast and has a deep rich flavor.

nice full body cup of coffee

The french roast fills the room with an amazing smell while brewing. The finished product has full body and a thick foamy head, similar to a great cup of espresso. A++++

Love the bold taste first thing in the morning!

SO GOOD!

Entertain at home with k-cups as hubby doesn't drink coffee, daughter prefers decaf--this is perfect to my taste

It was a good cup of coffee

Couldn't put my finger on the exact description. Smoky flavor says it best. Not as distinctive as other coffees.

single cup not bitter

Full bodied and rich. If you like bolder blends, you will enjoy this one.

I prefer the Italian roast over the French.

Got a sample 4 pack of Barista Prima in the mail today. Thanks guys! I'm digging this French Roast. Lots of flavor and well balanced. I can't see the bottom of my mug with only an inch of coffee left. I like dark coffee. It also feels like they put more grounds in these K-Cups than others. I just weighed them they're the same. But my scale only rounds to 1/8oz. 2 different brands were 1/2oz of grounds. I'm sold on Barista Prima over Emeril's.

I tend to prefer a dark roast, but this was too bitter for my taste. It is definitely a strong coffee but this one was too harsh for me.

Received the pods in the mail yesterday, and of course, tried them right away. The French Roast was my third favorite. A good cup of coffee, but I prefer a more bold flavor. Still good, though.

I am a coffee snob, and I like my 1 or 2 cups-a-day to be flavorful and good strong taste. This did it!

A nice overall French roast Coffee

This was way too strong for me. It was slightly bitter and had an unappealing after taste. I wouldn't enjoy this on a daily basis but only occasionally. I use creamer and it was still a little too potent for me. But the person who totally LOVES very strong coffee ( and I know a few) this would be ideal.

Got a free sample pack sent to me from Keurig. Out of the four included, this was my least favorite. The coffee had a bitter taste, a bit too strong for my liking. I like dark roast coffee but I wasn't very impressed by this one. The Italian roast of the Barista Prima line is much better.

This coffee truly tastes like a barista was in my kitchen making coffee! I have never found anything that has tasted as good as my favorite coffee house until now . Thanks for the free samples Barista Prima! I never would have found you on my own. :-)

loved all the coffees from Barista Prima!!

It smelled really good. To say it was "Bold" is an understatement. My dad has drank over brewed [@] bulk french roast coffee for years. Reminded me of it to the "T". I would keep a few around for him, but for me its like burned coffee. My friend works at [@] and said the more roasted the bean the lower the caffeine. I don't know if its true, but regardless this coffee is not for me.

Bold Taste

I received the trial pack in the mail to try for review. I made the mistake of going with this one first, which is the boldest. I can handle bold, but this was BOLD. The taste was bitter and the aftertase and smell reminded me of burnt coffee beans. Even my addition of flavored creamer couldn't save it for me. I found with the Barista Prima line-the lighter the roast, the better the taste.

This was one of four samples sent to us and I was thrilled when this brewed and my coffee had that dark, bold taste that is missing from many other varieties of the Kcups. If you want a strong, flavorful cup of coffee, this is it!

This did not have an appealing flavor to me. I don't think I would buy this blend.

too bitter and strong

This cup is perfect for morning, rainy afternoon, or a late night study. It's perfect anytime that you want to sip on smooth, dark roasted comfort.

We only use a Keurig; so far our favorite is Newman's.

I normally drink Emeril's Bold. I received a sample of 4 of the Barista Prima Keurigs pods and was pleasantly surprised that I liked the Columbia, Italian Roast and French Roast, so I thought I would order a few boxes to try further...but very surprised when I saw the price which is at least 20% higher.

Out of all the flavors from the trial pack this was my favorite! I love dark roast coffee and this one was delicious. It was strong, fresh-tasting, and the aroma woke me up!

This is a strong, smoky coffee that can make you feel like a sophisticated coffee snob in the morning. It's smooth and rich, and I always feel like a genius after brewing it, like, 'yeah, I just brewed this and it's so good. I am a coffee master.' That being said, it's almost a tad too strong for me - but I tend to prefer medium roasts. If you're looking for a strong coffee, I'd recommend checking this out.

This is my go to coffee first thing in the morning. I always start the day and look forward to my first cup because it's always the best. You won't be disappointed

I received this as a sample and so glad I didn't waste my money on it. Bitter aroma and nasty, bitter aftertaste. Reminded my of the old drip coffee that burned in the pot. No recommendations. Give me Free Trade Columbian or Donut lovers anytime.

One of the worst coffee I've ever tasted. Got a free box of 4 different Barista Prima Coffeehouse flavors. All were horrific! I drink my coffee black and like it dark, rich and smooth. I literally threw it out and brewed another cup. Thankfully it's quick and easy with Keurig!

I have been looking for one to make a good iced coffee. This is it. It is a little strong, but i like it. I add soy milk and hazelnut syrup

I have to thank Keurig for sending me this coffee to try, because it's great! I've been drinking the Green Mountain Double Black Diamond and while it's very good, I find this coffee to be even smoother. The Double Black Diamond I can drink on the 9oz size, while this one I prefer the 7oz size. With a spoonful of creamer and a couple sugars, this coffee is great. The only problem for me is that it's priced higher then the other blends I drink.

I really enjoy the Barista Prima'a best coffee I have had from Keurig

I have tried the Barista Prima Italian Roast in the past, which is excellent. So, I decided to try their French Roast too, and it's GOOD!! Mmmm, really smooth, full-bodied and no bitterness. I highly recommend.

It was this product that convinced me to buy a keurig. I am very picky and only enjoy a few brands of coffee because I like strong bold coffee, but I don't like the bitterness. This brand made the perfect cup every time! I like to put cream in my coffee & usually find that it dilutes my coffee unless it's strong enough. This brand is the best!

Bold flavor. Not bitter.

This is a very strong coffee. Has a bit of a bitter taste to it and it will definitely wake you up. That can either be a pro or a con depending on what your looking for. Personally I am looking for something a little more smooth in taste.

This is the best k-cup coffee I have found since they stopped making my previous favorite. It has a rich, strong full-bodied taste. It tastes the way a cup of coffee is supposed to taste. It is the strongest I have found, but without a bitter aftertaste or the headache that accompanies some other strong coffees. It is well worth the cost.

This is the first K-cup I've found that I can brew on the large cup setting and not get a watered-down cup- it stays strong and powerful even full sized. It's strong but not bitter, it's what many would consder a "real" cup of coffee. I've had many good ones from GMC and Keurig, but this is the best. I shared a cup my brother in law, who owns a business/office, and after the first few sips (and his "wow, what kind is this?") he began to stock Barista Prima french roast in his office (you're welcome, Green Mountain). If you like Dark Magic and similar, you'll love this and probably won't go back! Give it a whirl!

I enjoy not only tasting but breathing the flavor of a great, dark, rich cup of coffee. A rich full bodied cup of coffee should linger in the mouth and head cavities for complete satisfaction and gratification. Well done for this product!

With my KB60 Keurig machine I make a large and a meduim with one K-cup (24 oz cup I have)and it is just right. This is my favorite coffee by far but if you don't like strong coffee stay away.

5 STAR (normally) What HAPPENED to their French Roast??? I just (Sept. 2014) received a new box of my favoritest coffee ever--because it IS dark and extra bold--and on my 3rd K-cup in. So far there is NO coffee flavor whatsoever, let alone the dark bold taste I crave and expect from this French Roast. Change it back, Barista Prima Coffeehouse!!!!

This coffee is WAY too dark roasted for me. I couldn't even drink the whole cup. Definitely the harshest cup of coffee I've ever tried.

SO bad!!! After Keurig discontinued Wolfang Puck's coffee I've been searching for a new go-to and this one has to be the worst. I like to drink my coffee black and this one is so bad I have to add cream and sugar to dull out the horrible taste.

I like strong coffee and Barista Prima French Roast is almost as good as my own fresh brewed coffee.  Since I love strong coffee, I would only recommend it to those who are like-minded.

This is my favorite Keurig coffee/roast. I've tried many different roasts and brands, and this is hands down my favorite. It's perfect any time of day. Bold, not acidic, smooth. I will definitely make sure I have this in stock!

This coffee is amazing. Barista Prima is the best brand I have found thus far, and I have tried many. French, Italian, and House by Barista Prima are all delicious in their own way. A+++++\

Keep it up!

This is by far the darkest coffee you can buy in a K Cup I love it and will continue to buy more

Courtesy of my employer, I've been drinking 2-3 Barista Prima French Roast pods each workday for the last 5 years. This used to be uniformly a great French Roast experience that we looked forward to, but quality and or quality control has been slipping steadily for the last 2 years. It used to be very rare to get a "dud" pod (weak tasteless brown water), but it is now to the point  where "duds" are more frequent than the expected product. I had 3 in a row today. I will have to start bringing in my own REAL FRENCH ROAST coffee, if I want any kind of satisfaction.

We've tried many different flavors of k-cups but this French Roast (and also the Barista Prima Italian Roast) provide a nice strong cup of coffee. And when we don't need it as strong it works out really well to run it twice to get up to 12 or 14 oz. More coffee for your buck! We have this sent to us via auto-delivery for 2 years now.

Has rich flavor - like a dark roast coffee should taste.

I love Barista Prima Italian roast -- I've enjoyed it for years. For some unknowable reason, Keurig replaced it with Italian Hazelnut -- a good way to ruin an excellent coffee. So I was forced into trying their French roast. Not as good, but decent.

We have been using another French roast which we really like and were dubious whether this would be as good. The good news - it is and we are really enjoying it. Good strong and smooth flavor.

Occasionally I try something different. You know, just thinking I may be missing something better.  But, nope, always return to my favorite & with the first sip I know why I always do. It’s just the best!

This coffee has the best tasting flavor of all I’ve tried. I think it’s the best.
