psimon's Full Review: Green Mountain Keurig K-Cups Half-Caff Coffee
I love coffee.... I know I drink way too much of it, but I love the taste. That is what prompted me to buy a Keurig hot beverage maker (I say beverage maker because it also can make tea and cocoa). Anyway, lately I have noticed that coffee has started to interfere with my sleep when I have my after dinner cup of joe. When I found the Green Mountain Half-Caff K-cups I was thrilled. I figured now I could have my coffee and still get some sleep. I decided to give it a try.
Let me preference my description by saying that I like a full bodied brew, but not as strong as an espresso or French Roast. I like an even flavor on the tongue, one that rolls around in the mouth and isn't bitter or acidic. There are some that have hints of sweetness as well. I don't want to have a mouthful of tobacco juice! Keurig defines this brew as "a smooth blend of ‘direct process' decaffeinated South American and "regular" Central American coffees - with all the convenience of a K-Cup. Our Half-Caff offers about 50% of the caffeine of a regular coffee, and is made with direct process decaffeinated beans."
I would agree... Half-Caff is smooth, but I think it is smooth to a fault. I found it so smooth as to define it as weak or thin. Yes, it tastes like coffee and the aroma is certainly there. But there is something lacking on the palate. It is not bitter and not acidic. It's just that the body is not complex or strong enough. It's just not my kind of brew.
If you are the kind of coffee drinker that likes a full bodied, flavorful roast, this is not the brew for you. If you just enjoy a coffee flavored drink that won't keep you up at night, you may find this hits the mark!
