Reviews for Green Mountain Coffee
Price: $9.49/10 ounces
Attractive floral, nut, lemon and vanilla notes, but rather muted, especially in the aroma. Round, gentle acidity; unusually buttery mouthfeel. The nut note hints at chocolate in a sweet, rich finish.

(As brewed in a Keurig B70 Platinum single-serve brewing device using a "K-Cup" capsule to produce 6-ounce serving): Sweet-toned, soft, balanced, with a grapy, Riesling-like fruit and hints of dark chocolate and flowers. Muted aroma and short (if rich) finish. Best in the cup: bright, delicate acidity, lightly syrupy mouthfeel and gently complex flavor.
(As brewed in a Keurig B70 Platinum single-serve brewing device using a "K-Cup" capsule to produce 6-ounce serving): Sweet-toned aroma with hints of tart cherry, flowers and fir. The sweetly tart fruit animates a refreshingly crisp cup, lush yet delicate. Clean, simple finish.
(As brewed in a Keurig B70 Platinum single-serve brewing device using a "K-Cup" capsule to produce 6-ounce serving): Straightforward and smooth. Soft hints of roasty aromatic wood, caramel and a faint orangy, floral-toned fruit. Flavors linger gently in a very slightly astringent finish.
Gentle, balanced aroma and flavor. Soft notes of sweet citrus and stone fruit in the aroma become more pronounced in the cup, with added floral complications. Fruit-toned acidity, silky mouthfeel and rich finish.
The aroma is rich with floral notes and a pungent black-currant-like fruit. Delicately and sweetly tart acidity; smooth, silky mouthfeel. The black currant note carries into the cup with an enveloping hint of dark chocolate. Slight hint of drying astringency in the finish.
Crisp, bittersweet: lemon, bergamot, dark chocolate, a hint of flowers. Brisk, dry acidity; silky mouthfeel. Flavors linger in the long, dry finish.

(As brewed in a Keurig B70 Platinum single-serve brewing device using a "K-Cup" capsule to produce 6- and 8-ounce servings): Milk chocolate and raisiny fruit dominate in the aroma. Flavors deepen and broaden in the cup, with the chocolate turning bittersweet and the fruit note brightening toward citrus and stone fruit. Flavor, the chocolate note in particular, lingers into the brisk finish. More complex in the stronger (6-ounce) serving size.

(As brewed in a Keurig B70 Platinum single-serve brewing device using a "K-Cup" capsule to produce 6- and 8-ounce servings): Caramel and toast in the aroma with hints of citrus and flowers. Gently balanced acidity, medium body, silky mouthfeel. Sweet-toned in the cup, with continued caramel, toast and citrus notes. Flavor carries into the short finish, but fades toward astringency in the long.
Nut and molasses-like sweetness in the understated aroma. “Heavy and smooth” (co-cupper Wendy De Jong 89) to “lightly syrupy” (Ken 90) mouthfeel. Balanced acidity. Both Wendy and Ken found low-acid fruit leaning toward dark chocolate in cup and finish, though their associations varied, from Ken’s simple “cherryish fruit” to Wendy’s evocative “apricot … mulled wine and apples.” Both agreed that this coffee stayed on the rich side of astringency in the sweet, chocolate-toned finish.
oft notes of nut and baking spice with a suggestion of dusk flowers in the aroma, deepening and complicating in the cup. Quiet but rich acidity, lightly syrupy mouthfeel. In the finish flavor fades rather quickly toward a mild astringency.
Richly sweet flavor and aroma combines earth and aromatic wood with distant suggestions of fruit and chocolate. Muted acidity and a heavy, rather rough mouthfeel that smoothes out in a sweet but simple finish.
Notes of pipe tobacco, cherry and pungent aromatic wood in the aroma. Simplifies slightly in the cup, with continued aromatic wood and hints of baker's chocolate and nut. Pungent, roast-toned, softly astringent finish.
Price: $17.95/12 oz.
A bright-toned cup with an intense aroma. Flavors combine sweet and tart citrus, round toasty notes and hints of baking spice. Clean, crisp and softly astringent in the finish, with sweet citrus reemerging and lingering in the long.
(As brewed in a Keurig B70 Platinum single-serve brewing device using a "K-Cup" capsule to produce 10- and 12-ounce servings): Roast-toned aromatic wood in the aroma. In the cup light body, especially in the twelve-ounce serving size, good sweetness and a soft smoky chocolate. The roasty aromatic wood carries into the finish.
(As brewed in a Keurig B70 Platinum single-serve brewing device using a "K-Cup" capsule to produce 6- and 8-ounce servings): Round, roast-toned aroma with a suggestion of aromatic wood. In the cup light body, especially in the eight-ounce serving size, good sweetness and a soft smoky chocolate. The roasty aromatic wood carries into the finish. Displays most intensity when brewed at the six ounce serving size.

(As brewed in a Keurig B70 Platinum single-serve brewing device using a "K-Cup" capsule to produce 10- and 12-ounce servings): Caramel, toast and a suggestion of orange in the aroma. Simplifies somewhat in the cup, with intensified caramel and fleeting hints of orange, chocolate and cedar, all more noticeable in the 10-ounce serving size. Sweet finish.
In the aroma smoky dark chocolate with soft, backgrounded aromatic wood. In the cup, leanish mouthfeel and gentle hints of earth, more dark chocolate, lightly charred wood and distant cherry-like fruit. The dark chocolate is sustained in the long finish.
Sweet and delicate in aroma and cup. Fruit-toned cocoa, flowers, nut in both aroma and cup. Gently balanced acidity, light but silky mouthfeel, very sweet finish with a continued clear cocoa note.
Sweet nut and milk chocolate in the aroma with background fruit and floral hints. In the cup, full, syrupy mouthfeel, penetrating acidity and good balance. Fruit tones become more pronounced (citrus, cherry) and the chocolate turns bittersweet, carrying into a long finish.
