Really tasty! It's a darker roast, but to me it tasted sweeter than something as dark as a French Roast. I used it in my Senseo with no problems. (As a side note, I have an older machine. I was able to use a pod in the single pod holder with no issues. I also bought 2 flavors from Fratello, and 1 from Cafejo, and each of these I can also use in the single pod holder with no problems. My mom just got a new Senseo, and none of these pods fit in that machine, they all have to get put into the double pod holder.)

It's good, but definetely not the best ever like some have said. Honestly its a little light for my personal preference. They say all bettercoffee pods brew 8oz, however each one I've tried using my senseo machine and brewing 8oz end up being very light. Maybe when I switch back to senseo's sumatra blend I'll appreciate these pods more. Right now I'm not overly eager to order again.

Full flavored with just a hint of an espresso roast but without the charred taste. A strong but smooth cup. One of my personal favorites.

Very smooth coffee. One of my favourites - always tough to decide between the Kona, Sumatra and Costa Rican...

Good rich flavor but had a slight bitter after taste. Try the French Roast, it is awesome.

I love this pod but I have to use less water than with some others = but it is worth it because it tastes better than brewed coffee.

What I really want is this flavor in a flat-top pod shape. The symmetric pod shape is far more likely to result in the ever-popular Senseo Explosion. Flat top pods always work perfectly in my Senseo. We LOVE this blend. Please make available in a more senseo-friendly shape!

The high rating the other raters have provided is
deserved. It is a great cup of coffee. Full bodied,
flavorful, and a great aftertaste. It does not have the
burnt taste of many dark roasts. This one is a
Winner!

I have a lot of luck with these in both my home Senseo and work HomeCafe - I just wet each pod prior to charging and pack it down into the pod holder. I use 1 pod per 8-9 oz. cup. Far and away the best-tasting pods I've ever used.

Pretty good medium blend. Very consistently tasty. It's like the coffee at my favorite breakfast place.

This is an exceptionally easy to drink coffee; very rich, full bodied, first taste is a touch earthy, with lots of refined, chocolate tones on the long finish.

Very nice and mellow coffee. I use with my Black and Decker pod machine.
Wouldn't recommend using more than 7 ounces of water per pod or else the coffee tastes too watered now.

Five stars in my book. The high praise the other raters have provided is well deserved. It is a great cup of coffee. Full bodied, flavorful, and a great aftertaste. It does not have the burnt taste of many other dark roasts. This one is a true Winner!

More flavor than Columbia but still smooth, no bitterness. I like it anytime of the day. It works very well in my Senseo.

The Estate Costa Rican is a good coffee but nothing spectacular. With that said, I still would probably buy it again.

4.5 Stars round off to 5. Was pleasantly surprised by this full bodied coffee with a very smooth texture with a long mellow finish.
Only thing that tops it is Timothy's
Rain Forest expresso.

When I opened the packet , I immediately noticed that this pods smells like freshly roasted coffee. As it brewed, the aroma filled my kitchen, and brewed in my B40, I noticed the shimmer of the essential oils of the beans floating on the top like a cup out of the French Press. With most dark roasted coffees, I prefer some dairy and sweetener- but messing with this coffee would be like putting a bath robe on Venus de Milo. This is easily one of the best packed coffees I have ever tasted.

There are not many pods on the market that have this bold flavor. This gets 5 stars for quality. The only other pod I've found that is this good and strong is Timothy's Rainforest Espresso (which is 40% less expensive.)

Hmm... It's a bit watered down for my
tastes. Also has an unpleasant
aftertaste.
This is the first pod I've tried apart
from Senseo ones, and they seem much
richer and more flavorful.
I'll try more though. There's no
shortage of options here.
