I made a pot of this, and just after drinking one cup from that pot, I became Canadian, eh. It gave me the confidence to finally try ice skating, and before I knew it, I was stopping on a dime and blasting snow chips at tiny children. If you can't take the ice, get out of the rink. Also, I was a lot nicer to people. Pretty sure this is a drug that all Canadians are taking which makes them pleasant and good at ice sports. My optimum pot is 10 cups of water and 7 scoops of this magic stuff.
Best coffee ever
I have purchased Tim Hortons original in the past and love it. The coffee pod has always been brown In the past, but this time (September 2015) it arrived in clear pods. There is a problem with these. The pods "bend" at the bottom and the knife punch will not penetrate, therefore, it will not brew. I tried other pods and each time had no problem with those. I am having to punch a hole with a knife in the bottom of the pod before I place it in the Kerig Brewer when this happens, which is quite often. I applaud Tim Hortons for trying to make a k-cup that is recyclable, but this is not working and it is difficult for me or anyone with arthritis in their hands to get the plastic cup released from the top and filter. Needless to say, I don't even try anymore, it all goes in the trash. Love this coffee, but will consider not buying if the pod isn't fixed.
Ahhh. Tim Horton's. We moved from Buffalo Ny to the Cleveland Ohio area and missed out local Tim Horton's coffee until we found it online.
My wife and I both love the coffee and these single servings are perfect for us.
My wife actually set it up for automatic re-order and so now, we never run out.
One minor critizicm - the plastic 'cup' of the product seems to be a stronger type of plastic than other K-Cups we've had. When closing the lid of the coffee machine, you have to snap it shut in order to pierce the bottom of the cup. If you close it gently, it will ony dent the cup bottom and will not poke the hole in it that it needs to have.
Great product though.
Unlike earlier reviews of this product, I have run approximately 160 K cups of this product through my Keurig without a single overflow or rupture. It is true the plastic cup is a bit more rigid than domestic K cups here in the US, but if one takes their time in loading the cup into the machine, these problems can be eliminated.
As I live about 300 miles from Canada in the Pacific Northwest, this is the next best thing to visiting a Tim Hortons every morning for my coffee fix!! Awesome service as the shipment comes out of Las Vegas and takes about 3~5 days for delivery even though I did not pay for Prime. I live just South of Portland, Oregon just to give an idea of the service. Since I've started having this coffee as my standard, I've converted about half my town to it. That's saying alot since Starbucks and Dutch Brothers are the predominant brews here.

We subscribe to this coffee. I first had Timmie's coffee in Afghanistan at a little outpost shop they set up on our post. It was a welcomed treat in that environment...much like a glass of water would be in the middle of the Sahara. Of course, during that time, taste expectations go down and you adapt to what's available but we thought it was GREAT coffee. When I saw it on Amazon, we first purchased the smaller bag, for nostalgia's sake. The first pot brewed was tasty...smooth, no bitter aftertaste. My husband and I much prefer it to other brands you can purchase in the stores. However, while I rave about this coffee, I have to say it's our "every day" coffee. This isn't going to win any awards but it's much tastier and much preferred than say, DD or Folger's. We will continue to purchase this, as we have for the last year!
Great Coffee. I’ve moved a few years back from upstate NY to Charlotte, NC. I find myself constintley craving good coffee in the south. After trying a bunch of different types of coffee I realized a lot of different coffees make my stomach upset. So I stopped drinking coffee for 5 years. All of a sudden on Slickdeals.net I saw a Tim Hortons deal on Amazon. I was shocked they carried it on Amazon but then again it is Amazon. So I ordered a container. Just as smooth as I can remember and no upset stomach afterwords. If you want the perfect 10 cups use 1/2 cup of coffee grounds.
Hated to have to switch to decaf for at least the latter part of the day. I was anti-decaf. Convinced I could always detect that "decaf" taste, I started looking for a reasonably priced, good decaf. Tim Horton's is all over Canada, and it is great tasting coffee. So I tried the decaf, and was very pleasantly surprised to not be able to tell it from the high octane. It is not a really dark roast, but great aroma, and the price is right! Will buy again.
Many years ago while traveling in Canada, and also in the New England area of the US, I was introduced to Timmy's. I was hooked. Their coffee, their baked goods, their service, their friendliness, the cleanliness of their restaurants (when not using the drive-thru), all excellent, without fail, at every location I happened upon. During some of those road trips I was on, Timmy's coffee became my staple. Fresh, hot, when I would get it to go it would fill the car with a delicious aroma. The taste, even better. Clean, crisp, no bitterness. Very much a medium roast, but far better (to my tastes) than Starbucks (Pike's blend for instance) and better than Dunkin' Donuts. I find Timmy's to be slightly stronger than Dunkin Donuts' coffee, but perhaps that's open to debate. The point is that I like the taste of Timmy's far more than Dunkin's.
At any rate, after leaving Canada/New England, I would often long for a cup of Timmy's. Ordering it up - the next best thing. Now anytime I feel like it, I can brew a pot of my own. It's not quite the same, but it's very close. It also (marginally) makes up for not being able to pop into a Timmy's in person.
I will state that ordering it through Amazon proved to be a fiasco. To clarify, I did order direct from Amazon; but it was sold by Tim Horton's and fulfilled/shipped by Amazon. Perhaps it was the shipping department staff member's first day on the job, but they felt it appropriate to throw the canister in a box seven times too big, with no padding, no protection, nothing. It wound up at my front door looking like it had been sat upon and then kicked all the way to Miami Beach (where I live). I complained to Amazon about this, but nothing has resulted. I also emailed Tim Horton's corporate office to inform them of the manner in which Amazon is shipping their product, so maybe that complaint will circulate back to someone who matters within Amazon. In any case, Tim Horton's itself advised me that whenever I want to order coffee, order directly from them and they will ensure it shipped safely and securely to me and, should it arrive damaged in any way, they will remedy the situation immediately. Apparently no such guarantee is in place when fulfilled by Amazon. Nonetheless, it's good to have that peace of mind and get the product direct from the source. In that respect, from this point forward I will order directly from Timmy's.
I like Tim Horton's ground coffee, but this just isn't quite as good. I believe the problem is that, like with all K-cups, there is not enough grounds and there is not enough extraction time versus a drip coffee maker.
On the 6 oz. setting, the flavor is better, but then I need to use 2 Kcups every time. If this company added more grounds to their K-cup, and if Keurig would slow their brew speed from 30s to about 50s, then perhaps the extraction, flavor, etc. would be better. So use the 6 oz. for now.
