Panera Salted Caramel Coffee, Keurig Single Serve K-Cup Pods, Flavored, 96 Count

Ooh this is good. I have the dark roast, which is my preference across the board. I like my coffee strong, bold, and consumed black, unsweetened. This has that lovely deep flavor of what I call "coffee tasting coffee". It just tastes good, smells good, and the coffee flavor lingers on my tongue, makes me want more. I brew at 10 ounce. Will hold up fine to 12 ounce brew.I haven't been to Panera in a few years, and I really dont recall what their coffee tastes like. I know I always chose the dark roast but I cant say how this compares. I really just got it because I wanted to buy more dark roast coffee and this was on sale. Now I wish I bought more. It is really quite good! Just a bold smooth coffee. I'd say  McCafe French Roast  has a similar vibe, which is budget friendly and has a smooth dark taste. For reference, I am also a fan of  Peet's Major Dickenson Dark Roast  (premium priced, rare treat) and  San Fran Bay Dark Italian Roast . Overall I will drink anything, and sometimes just buy based on price. But when I want a particularly good cup of coffee that I know I will be paying attention enough to enjoy then I will make the splurge. I have to say.. this is a contender.I was able to buy mine on sale, steep discount ($21). I came back to maybe buy more and saw the new price ($73) but that it a tad spendy for my current budget. But since I dont rate on price, I will just say this makes a good cup of coffee. And for some the price will be worth it!

My favorite coffee. A light blend and mild taste. A little too expensive.

I bought Folgers until recently, when the smell changed and it no longer gave me the energy effect. This was listed at a good sale price, I bought some to try it and now I've become a bit of a coffee snob because of it. This is delicious, doesn't give me coffee-stomach and smells great to boot.Highly recommended!

My doctor told me to drink coffee due to non-alcoholic fatty liver. I’m over 60 years old and I’ve always hated Corffie. However, I thought I would try it again. My husband suggested Panera coffee and that it’s one of his favorites. Surprisingly it’s quite mild and with my vanilla flavored oh milk creamer it’s wonderful.

What I like about the Hazelnut, is you can actually tell the taste and I believe that relates to the quality, but also that it's a fine grind. Other brands have a more coarse-medium grind, and therefore; not as much surface area, hence the lost taste. We usually take a scoop of the hazelnut and add it to our regular fine grind decaf coffee grounds. Studies show that caffeinated coffee inflames the endothelium lining of your arteries. It's not the caffeine, it's the caffeinated coffee. Caffeinated teas are actually beneficial, but I prefer coffee. Decaf coffee, is neutral, so it's okay, better yet would be a decaf hazelnut, but haven't found the quality.

I like a medium bold coffee. My favorites are Columbian and Jamaican roasts. This is a great columbian. I would say it is a little stronger tasting than something like Dunkin but less strong than Starbucks. For me, that is perfect. Just a great tasting medium blend!

It's "strong" meaning powerful.One standard "scoop" leveled off, makes a very strong single cup.Be sure to adjust, I found it "too" luxurious and had to cut down on the scoop vs water ratio for a less power luxurious taste.

I wasn't expecting this coffee to be as good as it is. It has a deep bold flavor which is why I prefer dark roasts. I will absolutely buy more now that I have tried it and totally enjoy it.
