The coffee beans are individually hand picked by nudist mucks in the Swiss Alps, then loaded on Caribou; then hauled down the mountains for everyone's enjoyment........Just kidding, only joking, none of the above is true, but this coffee is very good. Please read my review below:
My mom loves this coffee, she always has a cup in the morning and it has no negative effect on her stomach like some of the other brands, I've tried it myself just to see what it tasted like, I have to admit that it taste pretty good, it taste smooth not bitter at all, and I wasn't a coffee drinker before now, but this Caribou Coffee has easily changed my mind about coffee, so that's why I'm giving 5 stars.
Update: 02-14-2017: We just received a new shipment of Caribou and quickly noticed that the package has changed, but after trying a cup, realized that this is the same coffee with a new look, you can see I posted pictures with the new packaging on the left and the old packaging on the right. Hope this helps you and..thank you for reading my review.
Update: 12-14-2018: We're continuing to enjoy our Caribou Coffee, on this shipment we shared it with my brother, after he had a cup he said it taste just as good if not better than Kona Coffee that he had when he and his wife visited Maui, Hawaii, now Kona Coffee is pretty expensive, so if that does not make you a believer nothing will, now I'm going to enjoy me a nice hot cup of Caribou Coffee.
When Pods came out, my friends and I had a coffee tasting morning. We made a lot of cups of coffee. We settled on two and one, Tully's Kona ended up being discontinued and the other one Caribou "Blend" - not the other Caribou names is the one that has stayed my coffee. It's a medium blend, soft and no bitterness. Sometimes you can find it in food stores but mostly I have to order. I do a search each time to find the best pricing. I drink mine with both powdered coffee creamer and a little heavy cream. No additional sugar is needed when I do it this way and we all know to keep spoons of sugar away from us if we can. This blend allows me to drink the coffee that way. It tastes like "coffee".
I love Caribou Coffee and I love even more that they sell it in K-Cups and it is delivered directly to my door! The Caribou blend is one of my favorite blends. It is just what I need in the morning to get me up and going. I live an hour away from the nearest place to buy groceries so I rely heavily on important items to be shipped in which my Caribou K-Cups are one of them. The Caribou Blend K-Cups are extremely perfect for the person who loves Caribou but cannot ever get to the actually coffee shop. Which is me! I am not only thankful I found the Caribou Blend but I also found them on auto-ship. I never have to worry about running out of my favorite coffee again.
Caribou is one of my favorite coffees. It has a good coffee taste and is very smooth. It is not light tasting nor very bold and best of all not acidic. The k cups work very well and never had any grounds in my coffee like many of the cheap brands
Caribou coffee is my absolute favorite, and out of all of Caribou's coffee flavors Mahogany is the one I can't get enough of. I drink between 4 and 6 cups of coffee a day and well over half of that is Mahogany. This coffee is rich and delicious, and being a dark roast I get the jolt I need to get me going in the morning. I went on a K-cup hunt recently to see if I was missing out on something else I might like better. I tried dozens of different flavors in different roasts and brands and I have come to the conclusion that there is no better coffee for me, and at $0.53 per cup on Amazon for the 72-cup pack I feel I am getting the best deal possible on this most excellent coffee. I considered getting it on subscription but I would have had to wait an extra week for my shipment and this month that was not an option. I almost ran out! :O

Caribou DECAF Blend K-Cups provide what I judged as an extra smooth, not too sweet, not too harsh, enjoyable flavor and taste with few or no perceptible decaf aftertastes. Caribou K-Cups seem to be loaded with a bit more coffee grounds than several other brands of Decaf I have tried at the same short period of time. Amazon's price for multiple 24-count carton packs makes the Cost per K-Cup and Cost per Ounce of Caribou a lot easier to take than many other widely known popular coffee brands, and nearly as good as several lesser known buy-in-bulk-only secondary brands. So, in addition to preferable taste, I see what I calculate as a very nice discount and favorable price. (NOTE: In addition to testing at ''normal'' serving size, I tested each K-Cup coffee at Double-Brew (about 14 ounces) through same K-Cup, and Caribou held decent flavor level better than most other brand Decaf samples. You can double brew effectively by removing K-Cup, tapping firmly all around upper half of cup to collapse any hollow area created in 1st brew, and replacing cup in machine carefully to use same bottom hole in cup as 1st brew before you start 2nd brew cycle.)
I continue to use this coffee and that should suffice as a review. The lighter roasts seem to have a purer flavor of coffee. Darker roasts are bitter, thus I now prefer this Daybreak morning blend. At times I get a better price elsewhere in spite of the subscription status.
My favorite roast of coffee. I just love it. It was delivered very fast, the day after I purchased it, and it is still the same coffee I love. It's a fantastic dark roast. I love coffee, and it takes a good cup of java to make me happy (well happier) in the morning before I go to work. Fast delivery, great coffee. It you're a dark roast person like me, you'll really like it. Makes my morning.
Coffee is generally a matter of taste so while I can't lend you my taste buds. I can tell you is that this is hands down the best k-cup coffee I have ever had. My wife loves it and have had a few people over that commented on it. I don't mean to leave the impression that this coffee will change your life or anything, but only that this seems to make a solid cup of coffee that most people will really enjoy.
I like the flavor of Caribou because it is rich without being bitter or overly strong. It's great in the morning for that first cup when I need it most. I'm loving it on my second or third order... Coffee is so much a part of my life that I include coffee in my art.
