WOW. Very flavorful without being overly sweet. Some smoky aftertones, but well balanced. Great body on the largest setting. I did not expect this to be as good as it was, and I expected it to be a lot sweeter, so I was pleasantly surprised. Thoroughly enjoyed this one evening after dinner.

This is a mixed review because it would be fair to the coffee to give only my opinion. So I will rate and review it as a combined opinion of my husband's and my own. My husband LOVES this coffee and it is by far his favorite. He drinks it every day - morning, noon or night. He gets upset if I run out of it. I on the other hand do NOT like this coffee at all! The aroma is extremely strong, smokey, sweet and it makes me think of chicory. When my husband brews a cup, the aroma is so strong; you smell it all over the house. However, once you get past the strong aroma, the flavor of the coffee is much better than the fragrance. It's not as strong as the aroma would lead you to believe and is actually a nice tasting coffee ... much smoother than I thought it would be before tasting it. So I rated this one right in the middle because my husband would give it the best rating and I would give it the opposite. But to be fair; I would be giving that rating to the aroma since it bothers me so much.

WOW, What a SURPRISE! Most flavored coffee's I try are just...ok. This one smells great AND tastes great. Since I forgot what Kahlua tastes like, I was able to try this blind folded, and what I smelled and tasted was...butterscotch! Well at least that's what I found in it. Not everybody finds the same tastes in flavored coffee's. I was very happy with my newest much liked flavor. I'll call it "Butterscotch Yum"!

Last night, I was extremely tired and needed a pic-me-up. So, I pulled out my Mini-Keurig and decided to brew Timothy's KAHLUA ORIGINAL. The aroma was strong and smelled like caramel or butterscotch - I do agree with my fellow ambassador, Lori! I decided hot was the way to go. I added half and half, and NO sugar so I could really experience the taste. It was spectacular! The taste was strong, not bitter - and provided me with the extra pick-me-up I needed! I will say, that I love the liquor Kahlua - however, I did not seem to taste that it there. I agree with Lori, it tasted more like butterscotch. So, I have to say the name is a tad misleading. I am going to have to mark it down one notch, not because of the taste, but honestly the name. Other that this - this would be a safe, perfect flavored coffee for anyone to try - even those who are not big fans of flavored coffee, because the strong is not so overbearing where you would not enjoy it! I highly recommend it!

Overall Rating: 3.25 Out Of 5 Coffee Mugs
Before you ask, no this version of Kahlua doesn't actually have any alcohol it. I know, I was bummed too, but I won't take any points off for false advertising! Of course, it did sound like the perfect K-Cup - I'm a huge fan of all things coffee and Kahlua is a great addition, especially during the holiday season.
Delicious notes of rum, vanilla and caramel, wrapped in roasted coffee flavor from hand-picked Arabica beans.
1Quick Cup Description
Kahlua Original had a sweet aroma with hints of rum (or maybe Kahlua liquor). It made me wonder if maybe after all I did need to have an ID to buy this K-Cup. Mixed into the aroma were hints of vanilla, cinnamon and caramel.
Iâm not going to lie, I was hoping that this K-Cup tasted simply like coffee with Kahlua added. Instead I got something different from the chocolatey-coffee liquor that I'm fond of. It had a medium-dark roast taste that was almost over powered by the "rum like" flavor. The taste reminded me of a mixed drink with too much rum added. Yes, it is possible to add too much rum to a mixed drink. On the side, I did pick up hints on the described vanilla but no caramel.
Kahlua Original by Timohty's was good, but I think I'd rather just add Kahlua directly to my coffee in the future. Overall, this coffee earned a 3.25 on the Daily Shot Of Coffee K-Cup scale.
