World's Best Half Caff Dark Roast Coffee Pods,Compatible w/ K-Cup Brewers, 18ct

From a person who ACTUALLY PURCHASED this product and was not given a free sample! My brief history with Mauds and dark roast K-cups/pods: I bought a personal brewer in April, 2025 and began experimenting with variety packs of K-Cups. I quickly learned that I preferred dark roast, specifically, Italian roasts. However the Starbucks brand was too bitter and nasty. So I kept searching. I also only drink half caff or decaf. I tried Maud's dark roast decaf first and loved it but it didn't pack the punch that Italian roasts did. I then tried their half caff dark roast, and found it to be the same. It was good, and it was preferred over other dark roast brands. But it wasn't the best. On a whim, I tried their espresso roast and this is my new favorite! I take it with cream, just like a regular cup of coffee (Zero Sugar Italian Sweet Creamer, or Zero Sugar Coconut, to be specific) and this espresso roast delivers a more robust aroma when brewing, and a nuttier, almost sweeter taste than the traditional dark roast. They have clearly mastered the art of roasting as these two dark roasts were subtly different from one another, but the Espresso roast was everything I was looking for. It's like, 90's era coffee house coffee, with half the caffeine for us older folks who can't handle it anymore.

I decided to cut my caffeine in half and couldn't be happier with my selection. The coffee is excellent rich and bold so happy I made the change. Thank you.
