Eight O'clock Coffee - K Cups 12 Ct. Dark Italian Roast [Pack of 2]

When I was a child I lived in a small town with an old 4 aisle A & P grocery store. When you walked in the store the first thing you would always smell was Eight O'clock Coffee being ground. It didn't come in a can. You bought it by the bag and had to use their grinder. I never forgot that smell. I thought this brand had disappeared long ago but was pleasantly surprised to find that this is not the case. I wasn't all that happy with the coffee I was using at the time (Starbucks Veranda Blend Blonde Roast) so I thought I'd try Eight O'clock. I'm VERY glad I did. It's the best coffee I've ever tasted. Never bitter, just rich, full, flavor cup after cup. I smile and think of that old grocery store every time I have some. The aroma is still the same. If you like your coffee dark, this isn't for you. I prefer a lighter roast with less bite. If that's what you're looking for, Eight O'clock will fill the bill, I promise. Oh, and it also works great over ice.

Photos show the plain box with the loose pods inside, and a comparison between a pod of Eight O'Clock coffee that came from a red Eight O'Clock logo box. Older product on the left. Newer product that arrived today on the right. The pods came in a plain white box, as opposed to a red box with the Eight O'Clock logo on it. Admittedly it's a little strange. I hope it's genuine Eight O'Clock coffee and not a knock-off. I will try one later today, with my fingers crossed. Also, no way to tell an expiration date on this product.ETA: Based on my tastings, it seems to be genuine Eight O'Clock coffee. It's just the plain white box packaging that is off-putting.

same great coffee my Grandfather and Father drank, if you want a great cup of coffee without all the hype 8 oclock is for you

I like a few other brands but we settled in Eight O’Clock. Price stays under market and I prefer to brew it strong, 12oz. Setting.

The box was totally folded and bent where it shouldn't have. Fortunately the product doesn't appear to have been effected.

My wife does. Back "in the day" we drank 8oclock coffee then it became unavailable here. When I found it on Amazon she wanted to try the decaf. She likes it!

Great flavor

I drink my coffee black 98%of the time. This is a very smooth blend of coffee and it's hard to find that sometimes. I recommend this.

received, im sure the coffee is great, but the packaging can use some reinforcing as the inside boxes containing the coffee pods where damaged, next time it could be the pods as well.

tastes like nuts

4 star only because I prefer a dark roast. Would be 5 if it was a dark roast. Just my preference.

it was great I enjoy the hazelnut Eight O'Clock coffee and since being switched to the Canadian site for Keriug I couldn't get. Now if only it was a little cheaper in price.

My favorite
