Review on ☕ 100 Count Crave Beverages Assorted Variety Pack of Flavored Coffee Pods, Compatible with 2.0 K-Cup Brewers by James Mayfield

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Less caramel, more burnt sugar

Shame which flavor chemist came up with this "caramel" taste. They had obviously never tasted caramel before. It tastes more like burnt sugar, gasoline and sadness. I guess you get what you pay for and in this case I'm kind of corporate bored like someone topped the K cup tutorial video. I do not recommend. Update - a poor guy at my job was caught off guard by the cheap price and bought a large set of probes for the office. I picked up smells slowly, either out of misplaced optimism or relentless masochism, or both. I tried the mint mocha. Remember those Listerine plastic strips that came in packets and dissolved on your tongue? Imagine someone putting one of these in a mug that may have been vaguely coffee at some point (ghost coffee, if you will), and you'd end up with a "minty" "mocha" from Crave. I plan to try the blueberry vanilla next time. Pray for me. Update - surprisingly, the blueberry vanilla isn't terrible. Blueberries taste similar to blueberry muffins, but they don't pair well with coffee flavor and it pulls my taste buds in two different directions. If I had to choose a Crave coffee to drink, I would choose this one. Raspberry - Did you know that the aroma of raspberries used to come from the anal glands of beavers? Cravings seem to be a thing of the past with this scent, only the raspberries have been removed. It's mostly chalky beaver butt with a slight note of coffee. Pecan - Late one day at work, I realized I had forgotten my lunch. In desperation, I ate a pecan that had been sitting at the bottom of my pocket for six months. It still tasted better than this coffee. Chocolate cherry - again surprisingly not that undesirable - I think Crave's chemists are good at mimicking fruit flavors. However, it was slightly chalky and tasted a bit like coffee with milk of magnesia. Vermont Maple - Imagine taking the cheapest fake syrup off the shelf, then diluting it with water, fermenting it, then mixing it with what might once have been coffee and you get something similar for that taste. Butterscotch: My tongue literally balked at it. Wraps uncomfortably around the entire mouth and resembles licking the grease-splattered inside of an old popcorn machine. Does it taste like motor oil?
