5.0 stars by Anonymous	My favorite coffee was the Timothy's Sumatran Gold. I was upset when it was discontinued by Green Mountain. I promptly placed an order, trying to snag some boxes but to no avail.. That meant I had to try this one; I'm glad I did because it is as satifying as the Sumatran Gold. A sweet palate of brown sugar and spice notes gives me the body I look forward to in this big, bold K-cup coffee. The Sumatras became my favorite k-cup. I like the lack of acid which can bother the stomach. cccpines

5.0 stars by Barb Arvanitopulos	This is one of my favorite coffees. I love the strong, inviting aroma Its complexity. Its "feel" in my mouth. The dark color in the mug. The taste. It's Strong. Not Bitter. This is one of my go-to coffees. It's extra bold, so I can brew a bigger mug without sacrificing it's strength. I have enjoyed this coffee iced over the summer, as well as hot, year around! Barb 1 Quick Cup Ambassador
3.0 stars by James Mather	Today I tried the Green Mountain Sumatran Reserve Extra Bold K-Cup. My 1st impressions were of a rich, full bodied coffee with a nice sweetness and a slightly burnt, ashy after taste. The aroma was sweet, slightly burnt, pleasant smell that was a little Smokey with a hint of Cedar. The body is medium to heavy. Nothing thin about this one. The taste runs the gamut from sweet to burnt. It starts out with a pleasant sweetness the grabs the sides of the tongue with a slightly burnt, ashy taste and finishes with (as I've heard it described, (thanks Jason Coffee)) black pepper taste. I really enjoyed the initial flavor and mouth feel but I didn't care for the ashy after taste. If you like dark, deep flavor you will probably like this coffee. It has something for everyone. On a scale of 1-10 I would give this about a 6.

Overall Rating: 3.25 Out Of 5 Coffee Mugs

The first challenger in today's battle is Sumatran Reserve from Green Mountain Coffee. It's a Fair Trade and Organic coffee, one of the handful that I've seen in K-Cup form.

Deep and deliciously dark, offering a sweet palate of brown sugar and spice notes. Look for lots of body in this big, bold K-cup coffee.

1QuickCup Description

My description would be slightly different. The Sumatran Reserve had a mild nutty aroma with hints of cinnamon and smoke. The taste was dark and on the verge of having a burnt taste.

It had the traditional Sumatran heavy body.

Overall, this coffee earned a 3.25 on the Daily Shot Of Coffee K-cup sale. It was drinkable, but nothing to write home about.
