I bought this because I enjoy a light roast coffee in the morning + it was on sale for $15.35. I wish I had bought more for that price. This is one of the best light roast coffee's I've ever had. I read a few reviews of this on [...], which gave very high marks, now I can see why.

Wow, what a great cup of coffee. Try it if you like any of the breakfast blends available out there. If your a light roast lover like I am, you will love this single origin coffee.
One of my top 5 favorites

I'm pretty much in concordance with Will the first reviewer. I use to drink Costa Rica Tarrazu when I bought it through Gevalia's coffee program. So when Amazon had it on sale I bought a two pack just to see if the two brands were similar. I can report yes they are. I brew mine in my B40 7.5Oz setting and what a wounder coffee it is. I love the aroma when it first starts filling my cup. A light roast with a mild after taste. Never overpowering. I drink my coffee with cream and a sugar substitute. This one wins a spot on my 10 top most favorites list

If you like a light roast, this coffee is for you. You will not be disappointed.

Hint #1 I highly suggest that you get some type water filtration system for your coffee water
Hint #2 I immediately remove the used K-cup after brewing and leave the K-Cup holder open to avoid
the accumulation of that stale coffee smell to permeate the k-cup holder.

UPDATE I just purchased another 2 pack of this coffee :)
Great coffee

Nice light roasted coffee with no bitter aftertaste. If you'd like a nice smooth cup of Joe in the morning you will like this.
Great Coffee ... Great Price !!!

I ordered this coffee cause it was the cheapest K-cups I could find any whereon the Internet. Don't let the inexpensive price fool you, Van Houtte has some taste rich, quality blends. My only complaint ... I went through ten boxes way too fast. I am more annoyed at the grocery chains because they don't keep K-cup coffees on their shelves.
Breakfast is a little better now

Amazon placed the Van Houtte blends on sale recently. I had tried Van Houtte coffees on a trip to Canada and really enjoyed them. I figured the K-Cups would probably stack up to the batch brewed coffee I had on my trip. My thought turned out to be correct. The Costa Rica Tarrazu is a very smooth, medium roast. It has a bright, slightly sweet and lightly acidic flavor, followed by a pleasant, lingering finish with no bitterness. The aroma when brewing is pleasant. I don't use milk or sugar in my coffee, so I'm not fond of really acidic roasts. This is one of the better K-Cups I have tried.

Not for you if you like a very dark roast. But if you appreciate a good City roast, definitely put this one on your list. I'll be a repeat customer.
Great coffee!

Makes a great cup of coffee as others have written, and I particularly enjoy making iced coffee with it. I fill a 16oz cup with ice and brew the small size on my B50(older model). It stops brewing just in time with a full glass (just enough room for a little cream). Price was decent and received quickly.
