Dark Roasts In K-Cups

Coffee drinkers really have a lot of choices when it comes to K-Cups. There are all kinds of flavored blends like Green Mountain’s Mocha Nut Fudge, Bellaccino’s Blue Berry Cobbler, to Timothy’s Irish Cream, or Gloria Jean’s Gingersnap. Then if you need a really robust cup in the morning, there are the Extra Bold blends or the Dark K-Cups.

The Dark K-Cups contain coffees from several respected coffee roasters like Gloria Jean, Van Houtte, Caribou Coffee, and Green Mountain. You’re sure to find many that will please your palate. These dark coffees are full of strong, intense flavors, similar to French Roast or espresso, and are not for the fainthearted. Usually the degree of darkness is due to the temperature or length of time at which the bean was roasted. Long, slow roasting brings out the body in the coffee bean and it develops flavors, which range from sweet to dark chocolate. A dark coffee with a bitter note is not usually as favored as one with the sweeter overtones.
