I like the convenience of coffee pods. However, the taste is rarely as good as when purchased at the restaurant or cafe. Panera Bread coffee pods are the exception. It is just as if I am sitting in a Panera Bread restaurant eating a vanilla Cinnamon roll and a Panera Bread Dark Roast coffee. They are great!I use the single serve system for convenience but have difficulty finding coffee thats strong enough not to taste like dirty water. This is one of my favorites.If brewed properly, strong, this coffee is a good dark roast without the charcoal taste of S-bucks. To get rich strong coffee from the pods, use the small or medium selection.It turns out that dark roast is a milder coffee. Maybe that is why I like it so much. And I love getting 80 K-cups at a time. It comes in a sturdy box, so I can stack things on it in the pantry, and it is my favorite blend.Our office is addicted to these Panera pods!!! It is a dark roast, not too overwhelming in flavor, just the perfect cup!Decent coffee for the price but box came very beat up and many of the pods were totally unusable.Great tasting coffee. Good price especially for a 'hard to find' at stores itemVery smooth for a dark roast. I was pleasantly surprised. I use it for my 'special occasion' coffee.
