104,000 | Chatfields put beet sugar into these new chips and they are very sugary tasting. (The old version had barley malt as the first ingredient. Whatever this means.) Not to be confused with the bag pictured! |
104,001 | i always buy my k-cups through amazon and they are of great quality as well as great price and speedy delivery. no problems with my billings either. |
104,002 | Having already tried the cocoa somersaults, I thought it couldn't get any better for a healthy snack. I was surprised to learn I liked these even better, so did my 4 year old. Hard to believe considering I didn't expect to like any of them. I'm not typically a 'healthy snack' kind of person and, in looking at the ingredients, I fully expected to dislike these snacks. Impressive - and you get the added benefit of feeling good about your snacking! Can't wait to try the sea salt somersaults! |
104,003 | These cupcake and icing mixes are phenomenal! I can't believe they can be this rich tasting with so few calories. Definitely not a diet food taste, love 'em! |
104,004 | If you like a rich dark coffee, Sesseo Sumatra Blend is really great without being bitter. While the pods are expensive compared to ground coffee in a coffee maker, we believe that this is equivalent to coffee you would buy at Starbucks and you have it at home. We also like Senseo Dark Roast, but actually we did not like and do not buy any of the other coffee offerings from Senseo. |
104,005 | I love this nectar and wish Amazon would quit raising the price! Seems like every time I go back to purchase more the pack is a few dollars more. This is some of the best agave I have tasted. Very thick and rich in flavor. I use this primarily to make homemade chocolate syrup for my iced soy mocha's and it's just wonderful! I also use it on hot cereal, such as Quinoa flakes or plane oatmeal. Can't say enough about it. LOVE IT! |
104,006 | I've been a coffee user to the point of roasting my own coffee beans for over a decade now, so I know good coffee. I was a bit disappointed to see this product is made by Sara Lee (says so in very small print on the label). They aren't known for top shelf quality.
I purchased this to compare to 2 other instant coffees that I use until we replace our recently broken espresso machine. One is a popular store brand Nes...., and the other is the only organic instant available. I enjoy both of them equally after tasting side by side. Douwe Egberts is priced in between. I use this product either in hot water with frothed milk or in drip coffee with frothed milk when I want something stronger. It's fine when mixed with milk, sugar, etc. But, when drinking black against the other two, it is more acidy/tangy tasting. You think it should be smoother since it is a lighter roast. Also, something that puzzles me, is the other two brands sink in water, where as this brand floats on top.
It is okay, but the store brand tastes better and is a better bargain, so I probably won't order this again. |
104,007 | I first learned of Attiki honey when I went on a quest to discover what type of honey Fage Greek yogurt includes in their individual yogurt containers. I was on this quest because I had never tasted another honey as good as that which was with the Fage yogurt, but I wanted to be able to buy plain Fage and add my own honey. When I tried adding the usual honey, it just didn't taste the same. So, I found out that this Attiki is the kind Fage uses, and I ordered it. It is truly heavenly. It's expensive, but if you use it just for special treats, it's well worth it. |
104,008 | Wow!! I bought this tea not to sure what to expect, boy was I glad that I did. It has a nice and sweet taste to it, but it's not overly sweet, it's just right, When you buy this, and put it in the water and mix it, don't be thrown if it looks pale. It looked pale to me, and thought it would taste weak, that's not the case. If you like peach or mango tea, then you know what to expect. If you haven't tried this before, trust me, it's outstanding. :O) |
104,009 | My local supermarket stopped carrying my favourite T bags. So, I looked online and there they were. A great price and free shipping as well. The bags were fresh and arrived by regular mail in about three days. Thank you Amazon, I'll be back for more-Sheila K. Westchester, NY. |
104,010 | I like the idea of being able to sample different decaf coffees. This is a geat variety pack and after tasting the different flavors I was able to choose one or two that I liked best. Now I order my favorites from Amazon as the prices are great, the shipping is FREE, and it's impossible to find such a huge selection of decaf k-Cups in any store! |
104,011 | Was lookimg for a good peanut brittle. I got brittle and hardly any peanuts. This product was a big dissapointment.It had no buttery flavor. That is what a good brittlle should have. |
104,012 | I'm a lover of popcorn, caramel and chocolate, though not always together.
I also like indulging in an occasional extra sweet treat and that's what SnackWells delivers.
Most of my 'sweet' snacking consists of fruit and dark chocolate which makes these taste like a sugar explosion. After one bag I was definitely not interested in more (at the time), but was satisfied with the over-the-top sweetness it delivered.
Overall, if you like the flavor combination this snack provides then you'll probably enjoy enjoy it. Do be warned that it's on the 'dry' side as far as caramelly snacks go. |
104,013 | I eat a lot of the jerky and I love this product, and I can finish 1/4 in one night (these bags are big). But it gets too salty too soon. I couldn't stop drinking water after eating it.
I would recommend to eat this along with other food you have, or even better drinking beer while eating it. |
104,014 | These dehydrated marshmellows are wonderful. We not only love them in hot cocoa, our 4 year old grandson loves to eat them as a snack. I would buy more in the future. |
104,015 | Great product to have for a grab and go breakfast. Everybody in the family likes it. |
104,016 | Great product - pepper/vegetable mix, heat level/taste and service outstanding!
Thank you |
104,017 | Smells like cat food. Is it supposed to smell like this? I had to use it for an emergency situation, but my breastfed (mostly) only 8 month old daughter wouldn't drink it. I guess taste is subjective, however. |
104,018 | As a cat with a discerning palate, I only eat Fancy Feast. It is a fragrant delight of tasty morsels covered in a delicate and lip smacking au jus. The texture is viscous and balanced. In fact, it is so delicious, I wait until no one is looking then knock over the trash and dig out the empty can so I can lick the sides. (I would not recommend this however as it sometimes gets me thrown outside).
I put this at the top of my list! A++

104,019 | As someone with many food sensitivities and allergies, I am excited when I can find a gluten-free, low calorie snack. These rice bars are healthy and full of flavor. In the typical grocery store, this product is fairly expensive. Fortunately, the Amazon subscription program offers excellent pricing on this item. |
104,020 | Don't pay four dollars a bottle of frappuccino. As the previous reviewer stated, these can be had much cheaper at your local gas station. They are also slightly cheaper than that at your local grocery store. |
104,021 | For some reason I enjoy these little Reeses vs. the regular size much more. They don't last very long in my house... Family of 6! I think that they are a good price too! |
104,022 | I went looking for these after watching an episode of United States of Tara (Season 1, Episode 12: Miracle). I was very curious when I began my search. Of course, I started at Amazon.com. And of course, Amazon had it! I was so excited to finally try them, came right on time. You get 10 dissolvable tablets; plenty to get your taste tripping party started! My kids and I had so much fun! I had been telling them all week we were going to do an experiment, they bugged me EVERYDAY! They were so surprised that the tablets really worked. They do exactly what they claim: simply turns sour to sweet. The lemons truly taste like eating lemonade. The strawberries are my favorite. They think frooties are THE coolest. My only complaint (hence the four stars) is I wish they dissolved faster - More melt in your mouth. Although rather expensive, I'm glad I tried it and my kids had a cool experience. |
104,023 | These do not remind me of pretzels at all. They may be crunchy but they lack anything in the center and remind me of really crisp thin crackers rolled into sticks. If they were crackers, I would not buy them either but that might be because I don't like really crunchy crackers but instead ones similar to the Glutino Original Crackers or Ritz crackers where they have a slight more substance to them. |
104,024 | These tasty bagel snacks are perfect for snack time.
They taste delicious and have good healthy ingrediants. A little more salty than I would use, BUT STILL NICE.
I recommend there knowing you'll fall in love with these delicious, crispy snacks. |
104,025 | Having a child on a gluten free, casein free diet has proven to be quite challenging, and we continue to try new foods. I must say, Mrs. Leeper's Organic Rice Spaghetti is by far the best rice pasta we have tried yet! Unlike other rice spaghetti we have tried, Mrs. Leeper's does not fall apart into little rice pieces while cooking, and it even stays together if it gets overcooked a little bit. The texture is great, taste is excellent, and I'd highly recommend this product to others, including those on gluten free / casein free diets. |
104,026 | I use this sweetener in tea, lemonade, coffee, cereal, and anything really. It really is better than honey it doesn't have a pungent after taste at all. Its very light and you don't have to use much to use much to sweeten your food. Best of all its a low glycemic product so if your in risk of diabetes and don't want to give up the sweet this product is what you are looking for. |
104,027 | The beans I received had an expiration date of 2007 -- I ordered them in late 2010. Very not recommended. |
104,028 | I am very happy with this product. The 1 lb container will likely last for years because it takes so little to sweeten my food. Both my husband and I use this in place of sugar in everything that doesn't require sugar for structure, (like some baked goods). At first we felt that the sweetness was a little different than sugar but after 2 weeks, we cannot really tell the difference and find on fruit, like berries, it is enhances the fruit flavor in addition to adding a little sweetness, making it better than sugar. We even had some watermelon that didn't have much flavor or sweetness and once I cut it up and sprinkled a pinch of stevia on it, it tasted like good watermelon. |
104,029 | I've been hooked on the Torani Sugar Free Vanilla syrup for years. With the holidays prompting Starbucks and McDonald's to offer peppermint drinks (which I really like), I thought I'd try Torani's peppermint at home. It seems to take a bit more syrup than I was using with vanilla, but I really enjoy it. But, the bottles are a bit bigger so it's no big deal. It has replaced vanilla on my subscribe and save with Amazon! |
104,030 | I was hoping for some reason that this being unfiltered honey, I would get an extra boost of energy or feel some kind of benefit. Didn't get anything like that, but it still taste really good, can't really tell the difference between store bought, but the smell is pretty noticeable. Not a bad or strong smell just a different smell. I have this on a subscribe and save plan, and will try other honey products from this company. Shipping was prompt and bottles were in great condition. |
104,031 | My local store quit carrying this product. I greatly appreciate having this product available |
104,032 | We have a terrible problem with fruit/drain flies and are always looking for ways to combat them. Usual fly paper works well but it's so sticky and unattractive. So I tried this stuff. At first I didn't think it would work, but it does. It's big but easier to hang and work with than our usual paper. Don't know if it works with larger flies, but it sure attracts the small ones. |
104,033 | This ws the best deal per lb. that I was able to find on organic barleygrass seed, and it even comes in a useful 5gal. bucket. The seed is of good quality and sprouts as expected. |
104,034 | I have been forced into a sugar free lifestyle for health reasons and have been trying to find a decent toffee / caramel SF candy for a while. I was skeptical with the malitol on the ingredients list. So far nothing with malitol tastes "RIGHT" to me. But Judy's Candy Co. smacked one out of the park on this. I picked up Vanilla Almond Caramels, Butter Toffee, and Triple Treat today and OMG so so good!! |
104,035 | I read such great reviews of this stuff, so I decided to try it. The flavor was good, but it doesn't mix well. Getting clumps in your mouth is just so gross, I will not order this again. Also seems quite over priced for the amount you get. |
104,036 | My cats can't get enough of this, and they are picky eaters. This is the only canned food they will touch. |
104,037 | Product is excellent. I learned of Absolutely Gluten Free Flatbread through buying at Wegman's who stocks it only seasonally. I searched online until I found it on Amazon. Unfortuantely, Amazon's shipping was not so perfect, and one box of five arrived completely crumbled and another not quite as bad but, nevertheless, somewhat crumbled. The package must have taken quite a beating by the post office or UPS, whichever method you used. I will keep ordering because they are the best gluten free cracker on the market that I've found in 4 years of having a wheat allergy but I hope the shipping can be improved. |
104,038 | A little goes a long way with this thick, tart, tangy, sweet, sour, vinegar. Use a brush, sprinkle with capers and finely chopped cilantro. Heavenly! |
104,039 | Frontier Cinnamon Sticks 2 3/4", 16 Ounce Bags (Pack of 2)
this is the first time i have purchased or used this product and I love them! I use them for canning lots of pickles. If you buy cinnamon sticks in the grocery store they are about $6 for a small bottle of 6 to 8 sticks. this is 2 pounds of sticks for about 12 dollars!!! they come packaged in two packages! This is a good product I am so excited! Im not sure they have quite the quality that the Saigon cinnamon has but for the price this an amazing bargain! |
104,040 | Pacific Chai Decaffeinated Vanilla Chai Latte Mix, 10-Ounce Canisters (Pack of 6) : This Chai Tea is excellent - just as good, actually better than Starbucks or Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf made at the store! I like it hot, but it is excellent iced also. |
104,041 | I wasn't overly happy with the flavor of these, but brought them to work in case someone else would like to try them. They weren't overly impressed either. BUT then I found out the ones I purchased in December carry expiration dates of February of this same year. I can't find a way to complain to Amazon yet, but I will! They might have tasted better if they were fresh. |
104,042 | I've tried several different kinds of candy corn. Some were disgusting. Like, kind of salty. And that was a really popular brand. (But I don't think I can say brands on here.) I can understand why some people hate candy corn... they are probably basing it on that brand.
These ones, the Zachery ones, are the good ones. Sweet, almost buttery. I could eat a whole tub of them.
FYI: The red white and green "Holiday corn" they sell tastes exactly the same as the regular ones. The only difference is the color. |
104,043 | My daughter and I eat one of these everyday! They are delicious and fresh! I looked on Amazon to save a little money, since they can be a little pricey. I got great pricing and the bars were in date and excellent quality! |
104,044 | I have two dogs, a Lab and a Chihuahua. These were a big success with my Chihuahua and he gets super excited any time he hears the bag so much as move and he wolfs them right down. But he is a food-obsessed dog and I rarely encounter something he'll turn down. My Lab doesn't care much for them, but she doesn't like crunchy treats much anymore (she's older). They are made and sourced in the USA and "free of wheat, corn, soy and artificial ingredients, colors or preservatives." The ingredients are in this order pumpkin, organic oatmeal, pearled barley, potatoes, oat fiber, canola oil, brown sugar, bananas, cinnamon, natural flavor, vanilla, mixed tocopherols. The package says under 9 calories per treat, about 90 treats per pouch (so they'll last a long time.) |
104,045 | I visited Italy last year and bought this because it looked yummy. All I can say is "wow!!!" I was craving it when I got back home. When I was in Italy and was watching tv at night, this was advertised like Snickers is here. It's a piece of chocolate with espresso inside! And not a creamy espresso....oh no....it's a liquid center and will dribble out of your mouth if you chew with your mouth open. |
104,046 | This is a wonderful product. Following the problems associated with dog and cat foods last year we have been hesitant in buying a lot of the treats we previously bought for our animals because we haven't been convinced they were altogether safe. When this product says it's good enough for human consumption but made for our pet we gave it a try. It's all that and more... our dog loves these treats. Our dog is a well trained and wonderful pet, truly one of the family. I actually placed one of these treats on the floor along with three other kinds of treats she really likes. I told her she could have one. She sniffed each of them and when I told her to "go ahead and take one.... just one", she returned her attention to the Bit-O-Luv Bistro Beef treat and took it over the others. Just to ensure it wasn't an uneducated selection I repeated this "game" three more times over the next couple of days and the results were always the same. I'm convinced... she really likes these treats. Last night I opened her treat bin and selected another treat for her. She nudged past the treat in my hand and went for the bag containing the Bit-O-Luv treats. These are the perfect size for training or reward treats even thought they seem somewhat small for our 95 pound adopted German Shepard mix. It seems size doesn't matter when they like them.... I'm thinking I will be able to get her to do some chores around the house if I promise her these treats as a reward. I don't think anyone will be disappointed in this quality product. |
104,047 | I had been unsuccessful in searching the local stores in Hawaii for a good gravy mix after becoming addicted to Bisquits and Gravy on a trip to Indiana. So glad I was able to purchase this through Amazon.com who has always given me a choice of outstanding products and service. This is an excellent gravy mix which I will purchase again. Thanks Amazon.com. |
104,048 | I ordered some of this basically just to try it. I found that yes indeed, it is really salty and very strong flavored. You don't need much of this stuff to add some real flavor to whatever it is you are putting it on. I found that compared to other similar products, this one has more of a beer flavor. I ended up using a lot of my jar to make Marmite pasta which was really different and good enough to make a couple times afterwards. Unfortunately the pasta uses up a lot of a small jar quickly, and given the expense it makes for some pricey pasta. But I'd recommend it if you want to try something pretty alien to American taste buds. All I can think is it reminds me of beer, soy sauce, and salt, but not exactly. I guess you will just have to try it. If you have sensitive taste buds this might be too much for you. Try a little on saltines with some cheese, or smear it on buttered toast like the English serve it. I just deduct a star because it should be cheaper IMO. |
104,049 | If you are looking for easy comfort food, I can recommend this ramen. It can be dressed up with meat, vegetables or tofu but is tasty just on its own. Good for upset stomachs or poor appetites (it recently got my family through a nasty "tummy bug"). One piece of advice - be very careful when you cook it and follow the instructions closely. When overcooked, the noodles are limp and tasteless and not a bit appetizing. I have found that pouring off some of the cooking water after the noodles are cooked, helps too |
104,050 | Crystal Light flavors are pretty much hit and miss with me so I was skeptical about this one. I was almost convinced I would hate it. For some reason a fake low cal "appletini" just didn't sound appetizing at all. To my surprise this product is actually delicious! It tastes like a lighter, crisper, slightly tarter apple juice. Its very refreshing and you'll get a nice apple flavor without being too heavy or artificial tasting. It tastes a lot like one of my all time favorite low cal beverages, SoBee Life Water's Fugi Apple Pear drink. I would definitely recommend this product! Yumm! |
104,051 | An nice change from cola, this has a definite cherry flavor but it is not too sweet. Sort of a carbonated Juicy Juice. Not sugar free.
130 calories, 35g total carbs, 33g sugar |
104,052 | The meat is really hard to chew on. My teeth and jaw are now painful for just eating 3 pieces. Teriyaki flavor is bland. It's not tasty at all. |
104,053 | She really loved the flowers. They were delivered exactly on time.
The boquet included nice large blooms, and a lot of them! They stayed fresh looking for plenty long.
Great work, Amazon! |
104,054 | Recently discovered Taibi and it's changed the way I use olive oil. I like the flavor so much, I use it with vegetables, fish, bread, and just about anything I can think of. It's really improved my cooking and friends are no longer fearful...they seem to like it too. |
104,055 | Big Train Vanilla Chai is very good, mixes great unlike other instant chai's I have tried hot or cold! I order every other month! Fast, reliable shipping! |
104,056 | This is an excellent product, just as described. Soooo delicious and moist. I made into 18 cupcakes-so lovely. |
104,057 | I am very unhappy that Canidae did not mention the formula change. My Pomrerain has lost 1/3 of his weight since the last bag I bought. I had noticed the color in the food looked lighter but than he got diarrhea and now has been diagnosed with diabetes. He had been doing very well since I had put him on Canidae Platinum 2 1/2 years ago until this change.I know he is an older dog but I thought I was giving him some of the best food for him.
Hopefully not many people have had to experience this with their dogs.
I know the diabetes may not be due to the food but the diarrhea ???
I had my kittens ,now cats, on Felidae but now I will consider another brand. The bag got smaller but the price stayed the same and I do not want them getting sick also. |
104,058 | Half the price of Starbucks, Melitta offers great value for coffee drinkers wanting a rich coffee with creamy vanilla and a sweet finish.
To compare value, we tried Melitta and Starbucks House Blend Coffee, Ground which is available on Amazon for $29.59 (three, 12-ounce bags). Starbucks works out to 82 cents per ounce while Melitta is 55 cents per ounce (for three, 11-ounce bags).
You can reduce the Melitta price further--to 46 cents per ounce--if you take advantage of Amazon's Subscribe & Save program. Hands down: Melitta Cafe Collection Parisian Vanilla Ground Coffee is the better value.
This coffee comes in an extra fine grind that paired well with our Bodum Columbia 8-Cup Stainless-Steel Thermal Press Pot. We detected no bitterness. We brewed two pots, one for home and the other I take to the office in my Thermos Nissan Stainless-Steel Vacuum Insulated Briefcase Bottle.
I spike my Melitta coffee with SToK Caffeinated Black Coffee Shots in the afternoon to combat the after-lunch fade. Melitta's Parisian Vanilla is especially tasty as a substitute for or a complement to dessert after lunch or dinner.
Rating: four stars. Buonissimo! |
104,059 | Sorry, but I wasn't terribly impressed by these light snack crackers. Okay, I admit that I never liked Oreos that much in the first place. This 100 calorie bag of thin snack crackers tastes like Oreos, for sure--minus the sugar high pasted in the traditional sandwich cookie filling. But as one other reviewer noted, they're not all that chocolaty, a critical flaw in the opinion of this chocoholic. Worse than that, they're not so good for you. If you're going to have 100 calories, there are a lot healthier ways to do so than devoting nearly 40 percent to sugar. For my money, a piece of fruit makes a lot more sense. It not only costs less, it's got lots more nutritional value, not to mention fibre. |
104,060 | Unfortunately my dog only likes the beef flavor of this product. I accidentally purchased the green version. I did not see the beef version offered. Luckily, I have another dog that likes green just fine. |
104,061 | This was the first brand of San Marzanos I tried when I first heard of these tomatoes. I made the famed "butter sauce" and nearly fainted with amazement as they truly lived up to the hype. Then I read that these weren't the "real" thing I tried two different brands (Cento and Bella Terra) thinking, "wow, these will surely be mind blowing!" And while yes, they were good, I'm going back to these. I'm cooking up another pot right now and instantly I can tell the difference (and it's not even done). These interact with the butter SO well, there is a velvety creaminess that is out of this world. The other brands didn't quite achieve that same level and I found myself wanting to add more butter. With these tomatoes, I think I can get away with LESS (but wouldn't want to). I don't know what they do to them, maybe it's the California soil. I know some people are upset because the label is misleading but, did they try this sauce? THIS sauce? If they did, they might pardon the error. Maybe they should just rename these San Calzanos or Marzifornias so that the sticklers can relax. Or not. More for me.
Marzifornia Butter Sauce: 1 28-oz. can of bogus, counterfeit deliciousness, 5 tbsp. butter, one medium yellow onion peeled and halved. That's IT! Put all three ingredients in a pan, bring to a simmer on medium heat, then lower heat to maintain a continuous low bubbling simmer for 45 min. Stir occasionally while crushing the tomatoes against the side of the pot. Discard onion (or don't). Serve on your choice of pasta and go to heaven. |
104,062 | I loved this sampler pack. Lots of great choices and nothing to "weird" to try. The coconut coffee and carmel creme were my favorite. I wouldn't have thought to try these if it were for the sampler. |
104,063 | Below was my original review, but here is my updated review as of June 2012. First off I'd like to say that I thought the company acted very quickly on their not so good reviews. I commend them for reaching out to their dissatisfied customers and giving consumers the opportunity to try their product again at no cost. I was one of those consumers that Brooklyn Bean Roastery reached out to. The first replacement order was better, but still not without problems similar to what I mentioned in my original review. Weeks later I was offered another sample box and accepted. This time around I have experienced no problems so far. I do believe that this company acted responsibly in admitting there was a production problem and I must say that after two rounds of corrections, they seem to have the issue resolved. As for the coffee itself, as I stated from the beginning, the taste is there, I have no complaints about the coffee itself. My favorites are the Breakfast Blend, the Columbian and the the Brooklyn Bridge Blend. Hoping to see more light to medium blends in the future. Thank you Brooklyn Bean Roastery for making me a proud Brooklyn girl once again:)
P.S. I have since ordered more coffee from this company and I intend to continue as a regular customer. The coffee is as good if not better than Keurig/Green Mountain's offerings for similar blends and the price is much better too. So if you're looking for a break on your wallet, try Brooklyn Bean Roastery's coffees, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
***************************************************************************************************************************
Original Review:
I received my first two boxes of Brooklyn Bean Roastery Coffee for Keurig K-Cup Brewers back in April - one box of the Brooklyn Blend and another for the Columbian Blend. I was excited to try these coffees since I am originally from Brooklyn and lived half my life there - yes, a proud Brooklyn Girl. I could definitely relate to the some of the names used for their blends. Well the excitement didn't last long. I'm sorry to have to report that I can not recommend this coffee to anyone - whether from Brooklyn or not! I have a Keurig machine which is well maintained always and was in perfect working order prior to using the Brooklyn Bean Roastery's version of the K-cups. These cups have malfunctioned about 80% of the time regardless of which blend I used. Grinds are all over including much of them in my half cup of coffee. I have had to clean my machine countless times after trying to use these K-cups.
I know by now you must be asking why would I continue to use them. Well I contacted Amazon and explained the problems I was having and they offered to send me replacements. I figured I would give them a try in hopes that they had isolated the problem cups and would be sending K-cups from a newer run of the product with the defect corrected. Well that proved to not be the case. Since a cup or two would actually work flawlessly now and then I was a bit determined to try and find what the problem was. I knew it was not my coffee machine since all other brands (Green Mountain, Timothy's, Diedrich, etc) were all working without issue.
Before I go any further, let me also say the coffee (when I managed to get a cup without grinds) was actually good. On taste, I could recommend the coffee, but on performance and the chances of getting a cup without putting your expensive Keurig machine at risk - No, can't recommend.
Lastly I would like to share what I found in trying to figure out the defect. I noticed that the plastic cups are slightly thinner and more 'wimpy' than the other brands. Next I noticed the exit hole made by machine was not as large as was made in the other brand cups. I suspect this is because the plastic cup is too weak and collapses and therefore making it difficult for the coffee machine's exit needle to make a clean cut hole into the bottom of the plastic cup. Without a proper exit hole I believe this changes the pressure in the cup as the machine is trying to brew. What usually ends up happening is a lot of the grinds and water backs up and comes out the top hole in the cup - and sometimes causing the foil cover to explode.
What I have done to try and salvage some of these cups is I put the cup in the machine as usual and allow the machine to pierce it's hole into the cup and then I remove the cup and gently widen the hole on the bottom with a sharp/pointed object, even a paper clip can do. Just be careful that you do NOT go far up into the cup where you would be likely to puncture the paper filter. Doing this I have reversed the rate of failure and am now getting 80% success. Some cups still fail - those with off-centered foil covers or paper filters that are not attached. Yes, I actually found unlike other brands, the paper filter is not always attached and can actually be moved around in a circular motion. Most of these things are a matter of quality control I would imagine and as for the thinner plastic, that may be a matter of going too cheap on the product - just a thought.
I hope this review has been helpful to some, especially those trying to get some use out of the product vs. throwing all that coffee/money down the drain.
In closing, I do hope the company can correct these problems since as I stated, the coffee taste is fine - it's the product used to contain it that needs help! In the meantime, Fuhgeddaboudit! |
104,064 | I ordered this box back in October of last year and I am still eating this stuff, despite putting it on anything Mexican-ish and even stuff like Pizza Rolls (it's delicious). The 500 packets go a long way. The only restaurants I know of that use this are Red Burrito (chain) and Taco House (non-chain restaurant in Traverse City, MI)...and this sauce makes everything 1000x better. |
104,065 | I ordered this and, like another reviewer, received something totally different. The spaghetti I got is actually "bionaturae Organic 100 % Durum Sermolina Spaghetti." The box has two labels on each side, that of what I was suppose to get and that which I did get. I suppose it could of been possible that somewhere along the line between the manufacture and amazon, someone dropped the ball.
I haven't actually tasted it yet, but I'm sure it's good; just not what I ordered is all! |
104,066 | I recently purchased the Booda Soft Bite Floppy Disc. It is our dog, DIVAS' favorite. The price was so great I ordered three. One of her favorite things to do with it is put it under, or behind things, then come and find us to get it out! My husband straightened out a wire hanger to retrieve. She is quite good at catching it! Diva is a Black Standard Schnauzer,soon to be 7yrs. She has many toys, balls, etc. the Favorite is her (Frisby). Thank you Booda, and Thank you AMAZON for your great prices.

104,067 | I have had wakame in soup, etc. but I use this in skin products. I like this much better than the long tough strips of wakame. It blends up better, and is easier to work with in my opinion. If I were to use in soup, I would think this version would be easier as well due to it being sliced so fine and small. This is my second order, and won't be my last. |
104,068 | Experts rate 8 0'clock coffee the best. I like its piquant taste: never bitter but just right vanilla flavor that says "good day ahead!" |
104,069 | I love these chips. They are not only diet friendly but they taste really good. I will definetly buy them again, I love that they are a one serving package so I don't have to figure out how many I can eat at a sitting. |
104,070 | In the box you get yer dried elbow macaroni, an envelope of "seasoning," and an envelope of squishy Velveeta "cheese sauce."
The box is a bit of a deception, as the contents easily would fit in a smaller box. A bigger box conveys the expectation of a bigger end-product, right? And of course a bigger box stands out better on the store shelf and offers a lot more copy space for that crucial moment when you have to engage and convince the consumer. Mmmmm, pretty golden-yellow colors, and red cursive-y lettering, with a photo of noodles as big as my fingers...
I followed the on-box instructions explicitly. Well, okay, I admit it, I used 1.37 pounds of hamburger instead of the stated 1 pound. All glory and praise to Odin that there were no adverse effects! It all turned out just fine, basically just like the photo on the front of the box, neither watery/runny nor dry; everything glommed together just right. The stated "makes about 5 one-cup servings" is about right. Now, Kraft came out with the "family size" macaroni n' cheez kit way back when, and I'd argue that Velveeta (a Kraft brand) would want to do the same thing, and it might even help actually fill up this oversized/underutilized box.
I didn't add anything to the recipe, as this was the first time with the product, and I was cooking with this review in mind. As for taste, it was just fine. Nothing special, but not bad. Now, did this taste like "ultimate cheeseburger?" No, not at all. That's because there was no bun, mayonnaise, pickles, mustard, or grill-charred meat with a slick slab of melted cheez atop, all of the things I put on a cheezburger. I did go with the "customize it!" advice on the back of the box and had some chopped onions, diced tomatoes and chopped lettuce on hand, which was a nice addition to the product, more than anything lending it some crunch, and a nicer range of flavor. One could really go nuts and drop some salsa into the mix, or even saute' some fresh broccoli or carrots with the hamburger. Now we're talking a meat n' cheez dinner creation that's a lot more interesting and certainly more tasty.
If I were to use this product again--and this might be a good thing to put in the copy on the package--I'd cook some diced onions with the hamburger, and/or some chopped mushrooms. This would bulk up the servings somewhat, and definitely yield more depth of flavor. I added no spices to the product, and it was accordingly bland. If I were to cook this again, I'd add salt, pepper, some caraway seeds, maybe a bit of rosemary and most definitely some garlic and a little bit of red pepper.
Yes, it was ready in about twenty minutes, as the box copy promised.
Yes, I'd use this product again, but I can't say I'm going to go out of my way at the store to find it and buy it.
I do like the TV ads for this product, though, funny and original. Let the smiting continue!
Bottom Line: this is another offering in the great American Hamburger Helper tradition. It's a one-pan dinner that's really easy to make and takes little time. Following the instructions yields a passable main dish that while not bad, isn't really that interesting and offers some nutritional value. The kit does offer, however, a foundation upon which one can experiment and improvise to create more varied mealtime indulgences. |
104,071 | Needless to say, when i saw these, i instantly started remembering the gummi peach rings the local pizza polar had for 0.50 when i was a young boy, and even more-so when i tasted them for the first time in years, i even gave the other bag to my one of cousins, and i must say, thats the first time in many years i think he's had a happy thought about his childhood,(i think i even saw a small tear in his eye) almost as if it brought back some of his innocence and happiness of youth, before the breakups of girls past, broken hearts and deadlines, before the hassle and worry of everyday life, back when you could see people outside and a $25 spot gave you a full tank of gas, back when hard work got you somewhere good, back when no one had to worry about lead painted toys from china or terrorist attacks on the news or the TSA frisking and slowing you down, Back when you could walk around with a smile on your face . . .
Its always that sweet gummie and peach taste that makes me miss the old days past |
104,072 | My wife is the coffee drinker and she likes this one pretty well. She's had some better, but this one is up there. |
104,073 | I purchased this because it was on sale and boy am I glad I did! It's delicious! It's like the best frosted flakes you could ever eat! Except 100 times better tasting! And there's freeze dried strawberries and raspberries too. Incredible cereal and I am going to buy this one over and over again. |
104,074 | These are a great alternative to banana chips. I was so disappointed that I could not find banana chips that did not have added oils and sugars. Then I found freeze dried fruit and I am a huge fan. It is crunchy like banana chips but better because it does not have added junk. And buying freeze dried is good especially if you do not have a dehydrator to make them your self. So far I am a huge fan of all freeze dried fruits. |
104,075 | These bars are great for people that have had gastric bypass surgery. Very good and they don't leave an after taste. I buy these all of the time now. |
104,076 | saw the starbucks coffee at an excellent price and it was free shipping, my daughter and son-in-law in Phoenix love their coffee, so what a great treat they got and were thrilled with it, thanks for the sales up-dates.. |
104,077 | I purchased this product as a gift, but since I received a four-box pack and I've never tried this brand, I decided to open a box and try it, to make sure it was ok before I gave the rest. So glad I did. The sugar coating was stale and overpowering and literally dropped off the Turkish delight in literal waves. Neither my wife nor I could finish a single piece of Turkish delight. The stale sugar taste made the product unpalatable and I threw all four boxes in the trash can. I do not recommend purchasing this unless you like to eat spoonfuls of raw stale sugar. |
104,078 | Gluten free bread mixes are often disappointing. They come out too dry, don't have a good flavor, fall apart when used for sandwiches. But Pamela's Bread Mix tastes good, has a good texture, and doesn't have to be toasted to be enjoyed. It makes great sandwiches, and the several variations offered on the bag make for a nice variety of breads. My husband especially favors the cinnamon bread for breakfast. As a sandwich bread he really enjoys the plain bread recipe with about 1/3 cup of added sesame seeds in the batter and extra sprinkled on top. Since we found this mix we have stopped experimenting with the various GF recipes we have collected. It does it all and is easy to make. |
104,079 | This tea is fabulously herbaceous, and it is fresh, green, and unbroken. Perfect for colds and allergies. Just grab a handful, steep for a few minutes in a pot of hot water, and feel free to resteep again and again. Also called ironwort or sideritis. |
104,080 | I love this tea. It is fantastic all the time, but really great for a sore throat. I am lactating and can not have caffeine. I drink a cup every time I feed my baby. Now she is 5 months old and I have been back to work for 2 and half months and we have not had a single sick day. Buying on Amazon has been the most cost effective way to purchase this tea. |
104,081 | Great product and priced right. The only problem I have is the postage and handling fees. If I could find this in a store in my area I would not buy over the internet. |
104,082 | My husband and I love to try new coffees, always looking for that special taste. We do like the dark french type roasts but are open to everything. Well this coffee is awesome!! We love the taste, the price is right and throw on organic on top .....can't be beat! You won't be disappointed!! |
104,083 | Was buying these at Wal-Mart but not in this big of bag. They quit carrying them so looked online and found these. Great service and got them quickly. Will order from this company again. |
104,084 | i tried this for first time i bought only 1 bag to see how it is before buying more and i was so impressed it's way better then american coffee! or any american coffee typtically.. its so amazing its fresh and taste good but u might wanna be careful if ur not a cardamom person u wont wanna buy this but its great and so amazing ! u might wanna try u never know u might like it but in end this is my opinion about the coffee and u will have urs but from my view its wonderful! |
104,085 | The Senseo is a great machine when you don't have time to make and enjoy a pot. I still enjoy the weekend pot of coffee however this is great for a quick fix.
The reason I give the Dark Roast the 5 stars is because its the fullest flavored product they currently have. If you thought the other flavors were just too weak try this one. |
104,086 | These sweet treats are really something to write home about. They are crispy, slightly sweet but enough to satisfy any sweet tooth. The blend of raisins and almonds are perfect. Just make sure you take out only a few, 2 or 3 might do it, or you will eat much more than you intended! |
104,087 | They made my home smell like a restaurant because they are so potent. I deducted a star though because only 3 out 4 of my dogs like them. |
104,088 | It is very small, and the green paint at the bottom peels, forcing me to put a napkin underneath it so that it doesn't stain my white counter top. Otherwise it does the job and small one works better for me, since I grind really small quantities of spices. I would have preferred a little more depth so that there will be less splash. |
104,089 | This is not a true review about this products features per say.....but I feel that everyone needs to know that this company has recalled their products and it is going on right now.
To begin with, I want to say that I know that unfortunately there are plenty of human products that get recalled too and that is the most important thing. And yes, I know that every time we go eat out or buy any type of store bought food.... that it is a gamble too.
But, my family considers our dogs as part of the family and this is very important too.I too love Grain Free dog food and love that the first ingredient is actually the real meat.
My baby girl loves "Taste Of The Wild" in Bison mainly.
I searched relentlessly for a reasonable priced food that has no by-products, dyes and are grain free. Which my lil' white Maltese needed for her allergies and tear stains.
But, now Diamond Dog Food has been RECALLED for "Salmonella"
This company makes various products that have been recalled too.
Such as:
Diamond Naturals, Wellness, Natural Balance, Taste of The Wild, Apex, Chicken Soup Soul, Canidae, Country Value, 4Health, Natural Balance, Kirkland Signature, Natural Balance, Premium Edge, Professional and Solid Gold.
I am saddened that we actually spend more money on these "better than store" dog food and they keep getting recalled!
So many families have unfortunately lost their fur babies babies and have spent thousands of dollars on Vet bills....when all we are trying to do is buying the "better" which are higher priced, dog food ingredients.
I am pretty thankful that I had signed up online,for emails about the latest dog food recalls last week.
My hubby and I was devastated to see that Diamond Dog Foods, Taste Of The Wild was on the list now.
I am sickened by these companies being so careless. When the reason we buy their higher priced food is cuz they are suppose to be healthier!
I just wanted to write this and try to stop another baby from getting sick or even worse dying. |
104,090 | I have tried every energy drink out there and this is the only one that does not give me horrific gas. It also tastes really good. Red bull tastes really salty and amp tastes even worse than mountain dew. I really recommend this if you are sick of the significant bloat caused by other energy drinks. |
104,091 | Comes out soft and not hard as other brown rice products. Can be used as sushi rice. It is rice that may be difficult to find, so we are buying through here. Wonderful! |
104,092 | I am a jam connoisseur and I have to say that this is the most sugary jam I have ever tasted in my life. Also, when I bought the jam, I thought it would be packed with luscious fruit, but the whole top third of the jar was like jelly! It was totally clear with no friut at all. I gave it to my mother and she said it was way too sweet for her as well.

104,093 | I love Pamela's products but these cookies are little too "coffeey" for my taste. My husband doesn't care too much for them either. I love very strong espresso coffee but these cookies aren't my cup of coffee! |
104,094 | This tea is infused with cocoa to give it a light chocolate flavor. I am really enjoying the tea, but before I buy another box, I plan to try infusing cocoa with loose leaf tea myself to see if I can get a stronger chocolate flavor from it. It does have a nice, light taste to it. It's a great tea to drink mid morning. |
104,095 | I love the product but I would love it even more if my cans did not come bent into half-moon shapes. Six of the 12 cans are severely beat up and make me wonder how bad the shelf life of my product has been affected by the weakening of the can's structure.
I am VERY displeased by the condition in which this package arrived.
edit:
I complained to Amazon that my cans were so bent that they could not even stand on their own and had to be lain on their sides, and they immediately shipped me a replacement order overnight.
I now have no complaints as the order came in perfect condition. I am extremely satisfied with this item! |
104,096 | I really liked this latte and the price was right, but my favorite store starting stocking it, so I switched from Amazon.. |
104,097 | Happy to find Weetabix on Amazon for a good price (less than my local supermarket options). Weetabix is such a tasty, and healthy, way to start the day- having grown up in England I'd be lost without it. |
104,098 | I was disappointed, the chips were very oily and tasted and smelled rancid....Since they are supposedly high end snacks they do not live up to their billing. |
104,099 | If you want to get these items cheaper...I saw them at Sprouts and Whole foods if there is one close by.. =) |
