20,200 | I agree with Pf who gives a higher rating to Ghiradelli 86%. If you really like bitter chocolate (and I have a friend who eats unsweetened Bakers Chocolate) then this may be a great choice for you. For the those of us that like the benefits of dark chocolate without the hard edge, this one may not be the one. This one has a chalky, medicinal taste to it. |
20,201 | One ingredient, made in the USA. Fantastic, my vet says these are so good for them that I can free feed it. The only problem is that it's $$$ and my cats have stolen the bag from the pantry and ripped it open to help themselves! |

20,203 | Monthly update: 7/29/2012
Sorry, there will be no more monthly updates. I no longer support Amazon. Note that I purchased my Keurig at a local brick and mortar Staples, not at Amazon.
Amazon has betrayed its customers by the announcement that it will begin charging sales taxes next year -- in exchange for goodies Amazon will get from various state governments. In this betrayal, Amazon is cutting its own throat, starting with the loss of this customer. In addition, Amazon has decided to get into the political fray in a big way in Washington, again cutting its own throat. All in all, I don't predict a good future for Amazon unless it changes its ways.
Monthly update: 7/5/2012
This is the end of the 5th month of use. The machine is still working fine. Usage has dropped, not because of any issue with the machine but because it's summer and we're not drinking as much coffee.
Monthly update: 6/8/2012
This is the end of the 4th month of use. The machine continues to work fine. It is noticeably loud for a few seconds when it first starts. We ordered ekobrew refillable K-Cups from Amazon. I'll post a separate review for them as they have nothing to do with the machine itself. Bottom line, they are a disappointment. We used Starbucks coffee as a test. The brewed coffee had a debris film on top. Stuff the filter didn't catch.
Monthly update: 5/5/2012
The machine has continued to work fine. We use it every day. Nothing new to report.
Monthly update: 4/14/2012
The machine is still going strong. No problems to date and nothing new to report except that it still works. We make about 5-10 cups per day.
First monthly update: 3/5/2012
The machine continues to operate well. I have three observations. The first is that it really is loud. I mentioned this in my original review, but want to emphasize it here. The other is that the water tank holds about 6 cups (8 oz each) of usable water. Total capacity of the tank is larger, but when it gets down to a couple of inches left in the tank, the "Refill tank" light comes on. I've gotten into the routine of refilling the tank while a cup of coffee is brewing. 30 seconds is just enough time. And third, I really like the simple brew size switch that sets the size of the brew in ounces (6, 8, 10). You just rotate the switch (round knob) to the desired setting and then press it to start the brew. I did not like the digital menu method used in the old trouble strewn Breville model. It sometimes changed the setting on its own. Next update in April...
ORIGINAL REVIEW
What a relief! I went through months of torture with a Breville coffee maker that didn't work. Then I found this model directly from Keurig. The non-working Breville has been "retired" and is now sitting in the basement waiting to be sent to its final resting place (not a kitchen counter).
The OfficePRO doesn't have the fancy menu system that the Breville had. Instead it has simple indicator lights to tell you it's heating, the water tank needs to be filled, descale, etc. That works for me. The important word here is "works". It doesn't come with the special custom k-cup that you can use to brew your own coffee. My Breville had one. I used it once. It was too much hassle and defeated the purpose of instant brewed coffee.
In the picture of the OfficePRO you see a round button at the front of the top to the right. That's the Brew button. When it's ready to brew, it flashes a blue light. It is also used to switch brewing size from 6,8 or 10 ounces. I normally keep mine set at 10 onces. It takes up about the same counter space as my old Breville. It came with a sample selection of 18 k-cups. When you register you can buy two packages of 24 count k-kups and get two more free. That's a pretty good deal.
Now for the important part. This is a "commercial" Keurig brewer. As its name implies, it is sold for use in an office. It is a perfectly fine home coffee brewer. To me "commercial" means "sturdier" to handle the demands of an office where presumably more people would be brewing coffee more often. I got mine from Staples, an office supply store, for $110.49 ($129.99 minus a 15% teacher rewards discount of $19.50). I would have purchased it on Amazon but they were more expensive at the time. I'm glad to see that the Amazon price now matches Staples. Compared to the $249 for the Breville, this was much less expensive.
When the coffee maker is first set up, it goes through a priming process in which water is first pumped into the machine from the tank on the side. By the way, the water tank, which holds 48 ounces of water, must be filled manually. Some other Keurig models have connections for direct water lines to the machines. The priming process took a few minutes and worked exactly as described in the manual.
The first couple of cups brewed had a little "off" taste. After that the machine settled in and has been brewing good coffee.
Long term reliability?
If you do web searches on the Breville and other brands, you will find many mentions of problems with "descaling". The machines tell you when descaling is needed. Then you have to go through a descaling process involving running vinegar through the machine to eliminate mineral build ups in the internal tubing. After our Breville said to descale, it was never the same afterwards. We did multiple descalings and then descaled after that. But it just slowly died until in the end, after about one year, it wouldn't work at all without extraordinary and time consuming measures. The reason you buy a machine like this is to be able to brew a single cup of coffee fast without a lot of bother. So my main concern in buying this coffee maker was to ensure as much as possible that I won't run into the same descale problems as the Breville. Other reviews of this machine indicate that it doesn't have a problem with descaling. I will be updating this review once a month to comment on any problem I have encounted with this machine. It would be great if others did likewise, no matter what brand they have. I know this doesn't help now, but after month by month updates over a long period of time, we'll have good information on reliability. In the case of brewers like this, be warned that long term reliability is an issue.
I feel confident in this machine because of other reviews and because of the brewing process itself. This machine is much louder than the Breville during the brewing process. Basically the process involves pumping water from a tank on the side of the machine into the machine, heating it and then running it through the k-cup and into your coffee cup. The pumping part of this process is perhaps 10-15 seconds per cup. Note that I haven't timed it with a stop watch so that's just a wild guess. When pumping the water, the OfficePRO makes a loud humming/buzzing sound which is much louder than the Breville which makes a similar sound. In the OfficePRO, it feels and sounds STRONG, like it won't have trouble pumbing the water. The Breville, while quieter, seemed weak and indeed failed in its mission to pump the water and therefore brew coffee. Ironically, although the loud sound the OfficePRO makes while brewing coffee makes me confident in the machine, it is a loud humming/buzzing sound. So I took a point off the rating for that.
I wish there were a way to give 1/2 star increments in the ratings, because I would have rated the OfficePRO a 4.5. But with the star system I was forced to rate it a 4.0 -- because of the brewing noise. It deserves 4.5 though because I would rather have the noise (only when actually brewing) then a quieter machine that doesn't work.
Only time will tell if this machine outlasts other machines that have descaling problems (including some other models of the Keurig brand). To hedge my bets, I got a 3-year extended warranty for $17 from Square Trade. I normally don't go for those things, but with the potential issues this type of appliance could have in the future, I feel the $17 is well spent.
I hope this helps. |
20,204 | These gluten free pretzels are enjoyed by everyone. Friends have even said they taste better than their regular pretzels. |
20,205 | how can Gmills discontinue this cereal?! it should be heavily stocked on all shelves of all stores across the country. I am buying 5 boxes as a birthday present for my brother. i asked what he wanted for his 23rd, and he said he had search high and low for our all time kids cereal favorite: berry berry kix, he said a box for his birthday, would make life complete. thank you amazon. and thank you G Mills for creating these delicious concoction of happiness and calories wrapped up in one deliciously purple prize of a box. i love you berry berry kix. |
20,206 | I've got a fruit and nut jones, I've got a fruit and nut jones, oh baby, ooh ooh ooh.
So I couldn't wait to try these! When they arrived, I ripped the box open, pulled out a bar and got myself good and cozy. I slowly started peeling the wrapper open and wondered what I'd gotten myself into. It looked pretty sticky, and maybe a little bit hard, and I was a little afraid it might mess up my dental work. But it was so tempting! I bit gently into it and it was sort of like a Rice Krispies treat, then the oats kicked in, and I got some chewing going on. Then, ooh, I tasted raisin - just like a chewy cookie, but the next thing I knew I got a little almond crunch going on, and my teeth were fine, and everything was just groovy. Mmm, I thought, then I got a bit of cranberry; now this was getting a little intense. No turning back now, take another bite and oh, yum, it went all peanut-y on me and I was in love. Then suddenly it was over. The bar was gone. I'd eaten it all! And I wanted more. Yeah, I want more. |
20,207 | These are really, really, bad. I got them as a lightening deal and wouldn't encourage anyone to buy these. As a previous reviewer stated, they have a terrible chemical taste to them. I'm really disappointed in these. Save your money and buy EAS, Balance, or any other power bar but this brand. I mean, they are just awful. |
20,208 | Being from Europe, I have used this sauce for years and years. I have not found anything that comes even close to its delicious taste. In Europe you can buy several brands that are alike but I like the Hela brand the best and I always have a bottle in my fridge. I prefer the smaller size bottle (400ml) because it fits better in my fridge door.
It says ketchup on the bottle but it nothing like ketchup or the spicy ketchups you can find at the regular shops. You just have to try it for yourself to decide whether you like it or not.
The sauce goes well on fried or grilled potatoes but it is also very nice on your bratz or other grilled meats & poultry. Mix it up with some mayonaise and you will get mayonaise with a kick.
The only negative I can think of would be the price. The price + shipping would be 7 times more than a bottle bought back home. |
20,209 | These organic cookies are my 2 dogs' MOST FAVORITE. The cookies are baked crunchy and flavorful. Because they are small-sized and easy to break with your finger tips, I use those to train my new puppy, too. They are USDA-certified organic. My 18-month Lab/Hound mix has been crazy about these cookies, and now my 3-month Lab/Pit mix puppy has found there's more yummy stuff than the dog food he's fed everyday.
I always bring handful of those cookies when we go out for walk. When we visit a dog run, without fail, I become the instant star owner in the park, as all other dogs run toward me, asking for something in my pocket. These cookies must smell so-o-o good to all the dogs, I bet! |
20,210 | I sing in a band and wanted some comfort for my throat before a show. My girlfriend and I both became sick and couldn't finish this tea.
We have bought many other teas from the same company and have been happy with them. Just a warning on this one. |
20,211 | This is a nice way to use the amount of tomato paste you need and still save the rest for later use unlike those little cans where the leftovers rapidly spoil before you need to use them. |
20,212 | The taste does not last long but it is a small piece of gum. It does wipe out any lingering tastes such as onions, garlic or coffee. It seems to clean teeth better than other chewing gums. |
20,213 | This is just perfect. It holds 54 and fits my space just right. I was going to buy the other kind that pulls out and slides down so I could put it in a top cabinet but the review's were bad. I just keep this one in my under counter cabinet and it works fine. |
20,214 | Lol you guys that say it expires fast are wrong. It aaa on tue bottle that the date format is the european one. Mine
Says 1/9/12 which here would mean January but in europe it means September. I don't think 9 months is fast. |
20,215 | This seems very overpriced for a case of redbull, as it is now a popular mixer for alcoholic beverages, prices have really come down for Redbull and similar drinks and you can get it so much cheaper elsewhere.
Its not jst the price I have a problem with, for an energy drink it must contain alot of caffine as I stuggled to sleep and woke up with quite a headache the next day. It's not something I would consider using in the longterm as a way of boosting my energy levels.
Fellow amazon users might be keen to try a product called Gene Eden. I take it as a natural way to keep viruses at bay, but it also makes me feel healther and more enegised the longer I have used it.
It is also available on Amazon and I have popped the link in if you want to check it out.

20,216 | This is extra good and they often don't have it in grocery stores. Much better than the cheap stuff. Stock up for Mexican Night! |
20,217 | I purchased Sweet Leaf Vanilla creme flavored Liquid Stevia after I decided to switch from my other no-calorie sweeteners to Stevia. My first word of advice is to look at the vanilla creme liquid as a flavoring, not your complete sweetener. I like to use it in my ice tea and it only takes a couple drops in a big glass, maybe the whole dropper for a pitcher. I use a plain sweetner for the actual sweetness. If you use too much, that is where the after-taste will come in. It took me a few tries to get it right.
If you buy this to add a bit of vanilla flavor, you'll be happy, but if you buy it to use to sweeten your coffee or other drink, you will not like the after-taste. |
20,218 | I purchased this locally and should have checked the reviews since the first can made me wonder if I had bought diet. It had the worst aftertaste of any soda I think I have ever had (regular or diet), even though I could not see any artificial sweeteners in the ingredients. The list of ingredients is really why I purchased, so the extreme aftertaste is a mystery to me. I am not sure I can even use them in a mixed drink since it would need to be diluted strongly.
I just tried another can and was able to get through it, but several minutes later the aftertaste remains. Aside from the bitter aftertaste, it would be pretty good. I know that blood orange has a bit of an aftertaste and the fact that this soda does too may be a testament to it being true to the flavor of blood orange. However the can states 3% blood orange and 13% orange juice so I would not have expected this much of the blood orange bitterness to come through. This is just not for me.
UPDATED: Added a star since there is no brominated vegetable oil or other weirdness, the ingredients seem pretty good.
UPDATED May 27, 2012: Added another star because I have been going though my 24 pack (bought from a warehouse club) and they are growing on me, but I still don't like the diet like after taste. They taste not too bad with an Emergen-C mixed in, seems to tone down the bitterness a bit. Unfortunately 3 stars is the highest I can go on this, I don't think I would buy this flavor again. |
20,219 | I find this very good as you can not tell that it is sugar free and I am a diabetic and should not use sugar. I highly recommmend this product. |
20,220 | I have tried a couple of different product in this line now and they seem like fine products.
I can't say I found anything particularity outstanding about them but I found no flaws either.
I do have an issue with the container, as it relates to shipping. Every time the bottle has leaked, ever thought they were wrapped differently.
And with shampoo, that is messy. But I love the smell of the product, I like using the bottle, nice in the shower, and it leaves the hair nice.
Little more you can want. |
20,221 | There are over 300 small lollipops in this bag, and each one of them is a sweet little treat. Mango Tango, Blueberry Tooberry - excellent flavors. The kids we handed them out to for Halloween loved them, and I certainly enjoyed the twenty or so I squirreled away for my fellow employees and I. I honestly couldn't tell you what was (or wasn't) in the lollipops that made them taste great, but I can tell you I didn't feel like I had been sweetened out after eating one of them. If you like fruity candy and not feeling like crud after eating some, these are good way to fulfill a craving and deny some sour stomach. |
20,222 | Well one of the best you can get in the US. All you need now is boiling water and real milk! |
20,223 | There was a lot of liquid in the pouch and the fillet seemed soggy and wet. I bought four of them without trying them first so I figured I'd screwed up. But then I broke off a piece and ended up making a squealing pig out of myself, oh my. The wet slimy little fillet was the best tasting SSS I've ever tried. It was so good I ate the whole thing after dinner, GLADIOLAS!
I'll de-package and weigh the next one to see if they tared the liquid. I'll buy it no matter anyway. Even people that don't have a taste for smoked salmon/ sockeye might like this, very mild and extremely flavorful. It's the alder wood I think. |
20,224 | I will admit, the first time I tried the apples I was so weirded out by the chewy texture, I actually had to spit it out! But I was intrigued, so I tried another, and another, and then the whole bag was gone!
The flavor is absolutely delicious, and while the texture may surprise you at first, you definitely get used to it and end up with a yummy, nutritious and addicting treat! These have replaced potato chips on my "can't eat just 1" list! |
20,225 | This products is great. I buy it at my local grocery store. Tastes just like regular Starbucks's Frapuccino but it has less calories. I have tried both the vanilla and mocha and I enjoy them both. |
20,226 | Been purchasing this dog food for couple of years from local stores at three times the price and found it cheap on Amazon and been ordering it regularly. Not sure if it has made a difference for the dog but price is good. |
20,227 | I've been on the auto ship with this item for some time - I have a hard time finding it in our stores at times & when I do, it's always more expensive. I love the fact that this has natural ingredients made in the USA - My dogs are older - they need a simple diet & this fulfills all of our needs & it always shows up at the door when I need it. |
20,228 | Never had India Gate's rice but I will say this was a great purchase. Excellent deal compared to buying basmati rice from the grocery store. Cooked the rice and the aroma & taste is no different from Mahatma's rice. The packaging was good. The bag is just the same as the display image. Inside the bag, the rice is seal-packaged in plastic. |
20,229 | Gritty texture, doesn't mix well, hemp bits get stuck in teeth. The package recommends adding it to yogurt but that turns the yogurt into a gritty inedible slop. I'm afraid to use it in pancakes for fear it will result in grittiness. It's just a terrible excuse for "protein powder", I'm not sure it can called that. |
20,230 | First, I'm not a huge fan of such "instant" meals. But. . . Having said that. . . Sometimes you're in the mood for something quick-and-easy. This item is "okay". To make it a little better, adding additional veggies really helps. The "broccoli florets" are like tiny dried bits of brown paper. If you have some fresh veggies, I would leave the packet of "broccoli florets" out completely. |
20,231 | I love the idea of less garbage and lower cost for Kcup coffee, but I find the water just passes through MY Kcup too fast, so it is hard to get a really strong brew which is what I prefer. The EcoJava is a great coffee just do not like the results in the kcup machine. |
20,232 | This particular flavor of Blue Diamond almonds generally doesn't show up in grocery stores in this size cans. The occasional quick shop/gas station may carry them in the small bags. I travel and I look every time. It may not be everybody's favorite, but I'm sure glad I can get them in bulk. |
20,233 | I was a bit skeptical about this powdered peanut butter. When I tried it I was pleasantly surprised by it! You mix 2T of powder with 1T of water to make a paste. The texture is about the same as the texture of a natural peanut butter, and the flavor is less fatty but with a stronger peanut flavor. |
20,234 | The dog really loved these bones and it seemed to freshen her breath. It was a good treat for a dog with tummy troubles. |
20,235 | This is absolutely as good as French vanilla cappuccino that is bought from machines in stores and a very good price as well.
Can't keep this at home, my whole family drinks it.
Wonderful products, great taste and great price! |
20,236 | Hello.
I tried this product and found out this DO NOT WORK AT ALL AT LEAST WITH DOGS!!!!. What waste of money. Unfortunately i cannot return the product. I'm still having problems with the dogs in front of my balcony. Does anyone know i REALLY GOOD product to keep away dogs? Thanks |
20,237 | This White Tea was included as a 'bonus' in a box of FooJoy Green Tea that I purchased at an Asian grocery store, but this is now my new favorite. It is mild, delicious and soothing, but what surprised me was that it seems to help my mental alertness and mental energy - a nice "side" effect! |
20,238 | For many months very few stores have been stocking classic canned sprats. I was very pleased to be able to buy them - they are indeed the old classics. |
20,239 | Jack Link's Beef Steak, Flavor, 1-Ounce Packages
These are a nice snack, maybe a 6 on a 10 point scale, I prefer the Buffalo Bills 2.1lbs Hot Short Shots (120 beef sticks per bag)

20,240 | The only thing you can say about Dove chocolate is --- delicious! It's just simply chocolate. I've never eaten any Dove chocolate that wasn't delicious. |
20,241 | For Christmas 2006, I received one of these aerogarden kits as a gift. Within 3 1/2 weeks, we began reaping the benefits of our indoor garden. Last week we picked the last of this initial crop which gave us at least a dozen salads for two people.
No mess, no fuss, no bugs, and the added bonus of security knowing where and how our salad makings are grown.
We now have two units going with the plan to purchase two more. |
20,242 | I was hoping that the taste of these granola bars would different from Nature Valleys but it turns out they taste pretty much the same if not identical... maybe a little bit less sugary.
Oh well, moving on... I just hate when companies deliberately trick consumers, the freaking box got 5 packs, just put that on the box. |
20,243 | Nursing became a big drama. It looked like I was done (had tried other options and techniques). Use of this tea with regular pumping really helped. Regular pumping alone was not enough and other teas did not work very well. Considering your drinking a medicinal tea, I think it tastes pretty good. It is easy to make if you get a tea cup with a strainer for making loose tea. |
20,244 | I'm not sure how they (Mareblu Naturals) managed to list cashews as the first ingredient on this almond crunch...perhaps that's how it ended up being sold by Amazon. At any rate, it IS actually almonds, not cashews in the package. However, having consumed a LOT of Mareblu Naturals Almond Crunch in the last couple of years, I will say that they have changed it for the worse. The pieces of almond are much smaller than they were, meaning there is more of the "candy" part (the sugar/rice malt which hold the almonds together, much like peanut brittle) than there used to be. Previously it was large pieces and even some whole almonds. Now it is more like chopped almonds and even crumbs. Obviously, I preferred the former. It is still OK but not nearly as great as it was. I considered ordering the Mrs. Mays version instead, but noticed that it says something about ingredients coming from China for that brand, so I will stick with Mareblu if I am going to have almond crunch at all, I just wish they would change it back to the original version, and perhaps they could correct the ingredient list on the package... |
20,245 | At over a buck a pop, this isn't exactly a bargain. Still, I like to keep some on hand at the office for when the office coffee just isn't cutting it. It's also great for those times when I'd love a cup, but brewing a whole pot would be a waste. This definitely beats the heck out of any other instant I have tried (even in England where the instant is typically pretty good) but I suspect in a side-by-side blind taste-test, I'd still pick a brewed cup over this. |
20,246 | Hands down the best tasting protein product on the market. What's even better is the protein to carbs and sugar ratio is really positive in my opinion. My kids, who are very picky eaters, love them too. |
20,247 | because it contains high fructose corn syrup. and, have looked high and low for a natural alternative. Which I'm now about to order from Amazon! Wholesome Sweeteners corn syrup! After ordering, and receiving, my Wholesome Sweetners corn syrup, I was shocked, and disappointed, that the bottles were so small. A single recipe calling for corn syrup might take more than one bottle! Fortunately, Karo now makes their without HFCS. Which I first noticed at Earth Fare. And, is now available everywhere! |
20,248 | My cats are not picky eaters, and lick their bowls clean of virtually anything i feed them (wellness, fussie cat, fancy feast, bff). I tried feeding them Tiki Cat on 2 separate occasions, and my cats threw up both times. I thought they may have gotten sick the first time from eating something off the floor, but when it happened a second time I was certain it was the Tiki Cat. I'm not sure if I received a bad batch, but I will certainly never be purchasing a Tiki Cat product again. |
20,249 | This is a great tasting and wholesome snack. The quality is excellent. Whole natural ingredients that satisfy. I buy these in bulk. |
20,250 | in advance, i spologize fer not using capitsa letters in my review... too lazy i guess. i also apologize (yo apollo! i yam a fighta!) fer any misspellings. but anyway, i'm kinda drunk on dortmunder right now so i don't really care... dortmundr is th best... the abolute best brew i have ever drnk... wll, i haven't had any lagers besides otc but it is the best. awwooooooooooooooooooooooo! i lovve this brew. did i apologize fer any misspellings? is tori spelling related to my review? |
20,251 | Product was very well packaged and arrived sooner than promised. I liked them so much I ordered 4 more jars. Great customer service. |
20,252 | Very good flavor, not super strong like the lemonade. Not overly full of dye. Great price with the promo! |
20,253 | I use a lot of ground cayenne pepper. This is the third kind I've tried in the last year, and it is by far the best. It is spicier and has much more flavor than the other kinds. And one kind I tried was grown, dried, and ground by some family members and given to us.
This cayenne from Badia has simply the best flavor. And it's spicy! I don't need to use nearly as much as with other brands when I cook, and I still get more flavor. That alone makes it worth the extra money and time waiting for it to ship. You don't need to use as much.
This cayenne is a nice, dark red. Very, very finely ground. There is only a shaker option, and luckily, it doesn't come flying out.
I still cannot get over how much more flavor and spiciness this Badia Cayenne Pepper has versus other ones we've tried. It has flavor, not just spice. I don't want any other kind anymore after having used this. Superior quality product. If you enjoy cayenne pepper, I would highly recommend going organic and choosing this one from Badia. It isn't a brand I've heard of until I purchased this, but it makes me want to seek it out with other spices in the future. |
20,254 | I was at a local toys r us and bought 25 cents worth of bonez and out came the bonez but i found an orange skull with them!!! wow weird? i didn't eat it :P |
20,255 | Bought the Original flavor from the store and just tried them tonight. They were very greasy and salty. I did not like them a lot. I will not purchase this original flavor again. However I can't complain because I got the 3 ounce bag for only $1.00 at the store while they were on sale. I tried the BBq flavor and they are delicious. I bought the sea salt & vinegar, and cheddar but haven't tried those yet. |
20,256 | This dinner kit is quick and easy. It makes five one cup servings with 390 calories per serving. It's pretty tasty. It's a good way to stretch chicken, too, if serving a family. Adding rolls and a salad makes it a meal. The only real negative are the miniscule dehydrated broccoli bits. Adding some fresh broccoli instead of the bits in the kit would improve the look and taste considerably. |
20,257 | When I was young we often had Liederkranz in the house. Most everyone in the house was a cheese lover and this cheese was one of my favorites.
I was saddened when the cheese went out of production. Recently I googled Liederkranz and was quite happy to see it back in production.
After trying this delight again after decades of missing it...I was thrilled. The cheese was exactly as I remembered it. If you like a "stinky" cheese that
isn't overpowering, then this is a cheese for you. I will continue ordering it. Thanks for bringing it back. |
20,258 | Ghirardelli should say it all, but WOW, these dark chocolate brownies are intense. Of course, like any brownies, you need to check them and not rely on your oven to be at the right temp. We have found that to cook them on the timeline provided, that we need to bump the temp up 25 degrees. That's just us, maybe your oven works better than ours. :-) |
20,259 | I love the product. But, the bottle design is terrible. In order to get the last 1/3 or so of the body wash out of the bottle in a timely manner you would normally store the bottle upside down. With the pointy top that is impossible. So, you must stand in the shower the try to shake the remaining product the length of the bottle to squirt it out. This takes much more time that you'll want it to take. Redesign the bottle with a flat top...please. |
20,260 | I love snacks and Grandpa Po's Originals are a great snack to satisfy a hunger craving. They are crunchy and have great flavor. It's hard to stop eating the whole bag in one sitting! |
20,261 | its nice but damn small and highly priced! In this amount I can get some stuff and make my own... atleast I will get a enjoy and boost abt it saying "I did it"!
Its just over-priced, what you getting at the end... Do think abt the roots and consider the dimensions posted. |
20,262 | This is absolutely like home made jam. It has real fig pulp and is made with cane sugar. I just bought 4 more tins. |
20,263 | I wonder where the shipment for these 100% organic black tea leaves come from.........
I ordered this about 12 days ago, and it arrived about a few days ago.
I don't know if anyone really knows this, but fake red tea has a weird after taste after you drink it.
I don't really want to go over how fake red tea is made, since this isn't a wiki or w.e., but red tea
should feel like your throat is clear after you drink it, but the fake mass produced version does the
opposite. I don't really believe any of the amazon loose tea leaf dealers actually sells the version in which they
don't require the truly epic method of tea creation at this price. Anyways if you are looking for real red tea leafs this
isn't the one your looking for probably, but for something worth only $25 I truly didn't expect the real version.
The Chai gave me stomachaches, which might be the herbs fault but it might just be me and the tea.
The Earl Gray is probably the only one that didn't have a great issue, but it might be me missing it.
The English Breakfast is probably the most questionable of the teas, since it has the effects of the fake red tea.
The Organic Lemon Black is a mix of English breakfast and a herb, which can probably coat the effects of the fake red tea.
Though the Lemon Black also gave me weird issues after drinking it, but wasn't as terrible as the Chai.
The Chai also seems to be a mix of the English Breakfast with some herb, so yea.
The Earl Gray is said on their paper to use the same tea leave, so I'm not sure is it really the same.
All 4 of the tea leaves are said by their handout to use the exact same tea leaf, so it might be a sale of fake tea.
I don't think anyone actually knows much about fake tea, but this is probably one of them.
Side note usually the real version cost well over 70 dollars, so its totally expected that something that cost only $25 isn't
that great. |
20,264 | I watched a video on this product. I'm trying to buy more American made items to support my country. For whatever reason, I thought this was made in the US. I bought all 3 Kyjen Dog Games. They all work just fine. On this particular one, the rubber sticky foot that stops the game from sliding around, was stuck to the instruction sheet rather than the game itself. I was able to gently take it off the paper and it had enough stick left to stay on the game. |
20,265 | I often crave chocolate at some point in any given day. These little cartons are perfect for satisfying my craving. If I had the large carton in the refrigerator, knowing me, I would drink one glass, then a litlle more, then a little more....you get the idea. Even my husband has one occassionally especially if there is nothing else sweet or chocolate in the house. My little great niece who comes to visit (she is 3) knows right where to look for the little boxes of soymilk. Dingy as I am I didn't even realize it was soy milk I was ordering, but, was pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be soy, as I am lactose intolerant, which keeps me from drinking regular milk, but might not keep me from drinking chocolate milk. The main thing is I wish they would lower their price. I've gotten some deals on these, but the regular price here on Amazon is way too expensive, although the free delivery right to my door makes me see it as a semi-good value. |
20,266 | I have a pure white, 2lb, 5 month old, Morkie(maltese/yorkie mix). We were having problems with staining around her mouth, feet, and HORRIBLE tear stains. She was also constipated one day and then had toothpaste texture poo the next on her old dog food.(diamond puppy). After a lot of research I decided to try Orijen Puppy. AMAZING!! NO MORE SALIVA OR TEAR STAINS!! I can not tell you how much better she looks! her coat is even softer! as for her bowls, they are a nice, round, and firm. She seems much happier and is a lot more active on this food than on her old food. I was worried about the price at first, but with these results i would pay more! I think ANYONE who owns a white dog and is having problems with the staining should give it a try! There is no fillers or Tomato Pumace, which is believed to cause staining in Maltese dogs. I would give 10 stars if i could!! |
20,267 | I tried this from a single serving packet from Whole Foods. It's yummy and has a fruity berry-ish taste with a purple color. It mixes well but you have to keep shaking to keep it mixed. I tried this with 16 ounces of rice milk, but I think it would go better with juice or possibly water alone. I mixed it the night before and it did not turn thick and gloppy the next morning. It's good and I'd recommend it but I like the orange creamsicle flavor better. |
20,268 | I drink water when I am at work and these little packets help! I hate the taste of plain water for some reason. But using these packets I drink plenty of water for the whole shift! |
20,269 | These are quite good but what fool would pay 20.00 for 12 graham crackers?????????? Find others that are just as good for less than half the price ... This is a joke!!!!!!!!!! |
20,270 | I have ordered this delicious cheesecake twice and each time it is just as good as I remembered. I even recommend it as a gift to others. You and they won't be disappointed. |
20,271 | I enjoyed this product quite a bit. I was surprised at how good these were, as a matter of fact. I like whole-grain textures but some of my family does not. These Golden Honey Oat Grahams satisfied everyone's taste buds. When I bit into the first cracker, I was surprised at how sweet the flavor was, even though there are only 7 grams of sugar for one ounce (about 8 crackers, according to the package). There seems to be a bit of cinnamon in it as well and that is a definite plus. Most whole-grain graham crackers are too hard and dry and are not so easy to chew. These grahams, however, are easy to chew and are not any more crumbly than a regular graham cracker.
I give this product only 4 stars, mainly because of the price. I find 3+ dollars for one box to be a bit expensive, especially since the box is smaller than the mainstream brands of graham crackers. |
20,272 | My cats love this stuff. One of my cats is very picky and won't TOUCH anything that isn't gravy-based. (The consistency is chunks of "meat" in gravy.)
I just wish that Purina would release it in the large-size cans instead of these small cans. |
20,273 | Seller shipped super fast, was earlier than expected. Product is fantastic--made pasta that was super delicious! would order again--can't wait to try the recipes on the sides of the packaging, it sounds simply wonderful! |
20,274 | This is my favorite International Coffee flavor. It's mellow and very sweet. It's similar to vanilla bean, and taste a little like cinnamon.

20,275 | Earth's Best Pears are our son's favorite of the EB fruits. He has significant feeding delays due to complications as a micro-preemie, but he's always done well with the pears.
We have ordered several cases of the pears from Amazon and have had no problems with expiration dates. All cases have had expiration dates many months from the purchase date. |
20,276 | Some things are just harder to make at home. My mom, who was a marvelous cook, never could get home-made pickles right. If you want to make kettle corn (you know, like the stuff you buy at the county fair) you really, really need this as an ingredient. I'm still not 100% of the way to making awesome kettle corn at home (it's merely very good) but I'd be nowhere without this mushroom popcorn. |
20,277 | Arrived on time. What a deal !!! So glad I could find this product on amazon ! I used this when i feel like im getting sick
Thanks ! |
20,278 | These cookies are just enough when you crave a sweet little snack. My 3 yr.old granddaughter likes to say the letter
before she pops it in her mouth. |
20,279 | This product was good as are most instant asian noodles....be careful about using the full package of flavoring as it is very hot....the dried condiments are ok....I prefer to eat this package with some chicken broth added....then wait about ten or fifteen minutes until the noodles get rehydrated....a relativewly low calorie lunch. |
20,280 | I've only done this tea as a cold brew iced tea. There is no bitterness, just a smooth, refreshing, green taste. The ginger is very strong. I love ginger, so that is no problem for me. A second brew was significantly weaker, so I will stick to one brew per batch of leaves with this one (I am able to get three quality brews from many green teas). |
20,281 | The product description for this bottled water makes various health claims: in addition to hydrating better than regular water, Essentia is supposed to boost the immune system, help maintain restful sleep and heart health, and so on. There are two justifications for these benefits: the increases electrolytes and the pH of 9.5.
These health claims are the sort of thing that really need to be evaluated by scientific trials, not by individual experiences. But a bit of quick googling about "alkaline water health benefits" shows that the scientific literature is pretty thin. There seems to have been one study saying that alkaline water increases bone density, which is a good thing for people worrying about osteoporosis, and another study saying that it improved hydration. Meanwhile, various anecdotal sources say that it can reduce acid reflux, which seems particularly plausible just from a priori reasoning: if you're having problems with acid, you might be able to neutralize it by adding a base.
I don't personally suffer from acid reflux, so I can't assess its effectiveness there, but if it's a problem that you do have, then it might be worth giving this water a try since you'll be able to see very quickly whether it works for you. The potential benefits against osteoporosis, on the other hand, are longer-term, so without seeing further scientific studies I wouldn't personally want to embark on a program of drinking expensive bottled water indefinitely, since it would be harder to judge whether it was actually working. The interest for me, then, was mainly in the improved hydration.
I'm a casual runner, and I hate to carry water with me, so it's not uncommon for me to end up with a slight dehydration headache even after consuming water when I get home. That happened once this week already, when I went for a 5-mile run just after noon.
I drank my 1.5 L sample of Essentia over two days (along with other fluids, of course). On the first day, I didn't run at all, but walked about four miles. On the second day, I went for two short runs, 1.8 miles each way to the bookstore and back in the middle of the afternoon. It was sunny out, so I felt pretty sweaty by the end of it. I drank Essentia before and after the run, though there wasn't much left by the end, and so I also drank about 750 mL of regular water as well.
I didn't end up with a dehydration headache, and I also slept well that night, but there are too many other variables at play for me to attribute these good things purely to the Essentia. Maybe the difference from my previous run was the much shorter length, or the time of day, or just the overall quantity of water that I consumed afterwards, regardless of whether it was Essentia. While I'm intrigued with Essentia's claims, I'm not entirely convinced. I'd be willing to try drinking Essentia over a longer period of time if it were provided to me for free, but for the moment, the benefits aren't clear enough to me that I'm willing to purchase it in quantity for myself at more than $2/bottle. I'll await further studies.
The one thing I can comment on with confidence is the taste, which seemed pretty average to me. There is something slightly different about it, but I find it hard to describe: it almost seemed reminiscent of carbonated water, except it's not carbonated at all. Anyway, the taste was fine, but I didn't find it unusually good; it was pretty clearly purified tap water (like Dasani), rather than spring water. The taste was better than Dasani, but not something that I'd pay extra for; I'm generally happy enough with the taste of tap water.
So with an average taste and health benefits that could use some more research, this isn't something that I'm going to buy any time soon. Still, people with different health needs (particularly acid reflux) may find it helpful to them, and it will be interesting to see whether further research turns up any more relevant evidence. |
20,282 | Brown lentils are actually difficult to find in the grocery store. These are much better quality anyway. They are bigger and the end product tastes better than your run of the mill grocery store lentils. To the reviewer who gave a subpar review due to the bag not having directions...google is your friend. |
20,283 | Since ages - and After Eight is an old brand going back to the early seventies, if not older - they blend chocolate with mint to make Ice-creams and pralines. You will appreciate the thin layers of chocolate and mint. Don't swallow it but let it melt on your tongue.
Oh boy, life can be good! |
20,284 | Using this product is much easier then making tea myself since my husband is the only one who can drink sweetened tea. |
20,285 | This mix is delicious! I'm not much of a cook, but it is so easy to make amazing, healthy waffles with this mix. Everyone who tasted them was very impressed by them. |
20,286 | My wife and I have purchased J. LeBlanc Champagne vinegar from other suppliers on the net and become great fans of it. So, when my usual supplier had no stock, I ordered the product from Touch of Europe, who were a dollar or so more expensive, but who had stock. When the vinegar arrived, it was not the white wine colour of previous bottles I had bought, but brown - rather like cider vinegar. The taste was awful - not at all what we had gotten to expect. So I returned it to Touch of Europe, saying that, based on my experience with this vinegar, their product tasted bad and was probably "off". To cut a long complaining consumer saga short, the company has continued to insist that there is nothing wrong with the product they supplied. (Whatever happened to "the customer is always right"?). And the bottom line, after multiple e-mails and phone calls, is that they have now agreed to refund me - but I have to bear the shipping costs of the return, which was around $8.95. I have previously found the J. LeBlanc Champagne vinegar to be an excellent product. The product supplied by Touch of Europe was unacceptable, and when I returned it, I was not dealt with the way customers ought to be treated. |
20,287 | Mmmmmm....coffee.....love it! Ok, I'm not a coffee master/aficionado/snob, but I know how I like my coffee: strong with cream and sugar. Please take that into account, as your preferences may differ. As with any coffee one is not familiar with, it takes some experimentation to figure out how to make it "just right." That's my experience anyhow. So, I usually brew it up a couple different ways to see how it will come out and adjust from there.
First, I followed the instructions on the package and made a pot in a drip coffee maker. This produced a strong coffee, but it was nasty! The taste was like someone had dropped in an excessive amount of vanilla extract or sugar free vanilla flavoring. Kind of like getting a vanilla latte in a tourist trap area. The next pot, I backed off by reducing the grounds by two scoops and left the amount of water the same. This produced a weaker but still good coffee taste with very mild hint of vanilla flavoring. *Much better* in my opinion, and very palatable. For the third pot, I went for iced coffee, cold brewing in a French press, using the original instructions. The product was very smooth and tasty. Letting it sit in the fridge overnight after brewing enhanced the flavor. Finally, I hot brewed it in the French press, again using the original mix ratio from the package. Sadly, the taste again not so good, though not as bad as the first pot.
In the end, I did find two brewing methods that I liked. While I would have preferred a stronger vanilla flavor, I wasn't able to get it out of this product before I finished the package. Perhaps some more experimenting is in order, but, for now I will stick with another brand that I already enjoy. |
20,288 | This is a good buy. The olives are tasty and most are in good condition.
We eat a lot of olives and keep a jar in our kitchen all the time. To prepare these olives: 1. drain the liquid in which they are shipped. 2. Pierce a 1 or 2 small jalapeno or Serrano peppers in a clean quart jar 3. Add olives to almost the top of the jar. 4. Fill the jar with olive oil. 5. Cover with the lid and keep out of direct sunlight and store on your counter top. Do NOT refrigerate.
These will keep for months. The taste is quite good with just a touch of heat from the peppers. Small jars of olives prepared this way make excellent hostess gifts. After the olives have been consumed, I strain the remaining olive oil and use it for cooking. The taste of the olive oil flavored with the peppers adds another layer of flavoring to most dishes. The olive oil is also great for dipping. |
20,289 | Bob's Red Mill is always of the highest quality and i always choose their brand over any other. That being said I must emphatically say that Soy Flour is pretty darn nasty tasting. I suggest that if you are going to use it, blend it in with other flours (if you can). you can probably get used to the taste, but kinda leaves an aftertaste that is unpleasant to me at least. good luck! |
20,290 | These are tasty but a little hotter than I like. |
20,291 | I'm admittedly not a fan of sparkling water, but I did used to drink a ton of Clearly Canadian as I really liked the flavors, and IZZE makes a nice substitute as I haven't seen Clearly Canadian available in years.
The serving size is perfect, at just under 9oz it's good for a quick drink but only has 90 calories, so you're not drinking a full meal's worth.
I got a sample of this through the Vine program and really liked it, though admittedly I don't know how often I'd buy it vs. my favorite guiltless drink - Crystal Light Tea in the on-the-go packets that you mix with water, but this is a good sparkling water that isn't too sweet or too packed with calories. |
20,292 | My best friend has Celiacs disease and when she heard I was making cupcakes she challenged me to make Gluten Free cupcakes. One of my most popular flavors is my S'mores. I am so impressed with this stuff! I tasted it before I used it in my cupcakes and couldn't taste any difference from regular graham cracker crumbs. I highly recommend these for any recipe that calls for it. |
20,293 | Amy's soup would be much better, and much healthier if they would reduce the salt by AT LEAST 50%. Even the soups that are labeled as "reduced salt" have very high salt content. It did not used to be that way years ago. Why do companies do this? Is it simply a case of the bottom line being the only criterion that matters to them? |
20,294 | This is an excellent product that allows me to reuse kcups and use my own favorite brands of coffee. It works exactly as it says it does and I've not encountered any problems with it. The shipper was very prompt in filling my order and I wouldn't hesitate to order more in the future. |
20,295 | They like the product and it's healthy (according to the company). Two of my cats love the sardine and
all except one love the tuna flavors. |
20,296 | Very tasty and not so much that you feel guilty partaking of it. I truly enjoy this bar. Can put in napkin and into the microwave for 12 seconds and really gets enhanced. |
20,297 | We bought this for our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy. We mix it some of the wet of the same brand and a little chicken and he eats it pretty well! |
20,298 | The local Starbucks can't keep these in and never seem to have a large package of them so I thought I would try these. Great choice. Cheaper, taste just as good and the quality is 98% that of Starbucks. (more beans are stuck together or missing a bean inside the chocolate) The convenience and price however make up the difference. PLEASE do not think these are low quality, they are not at all. Very good quality just a slight notch below Starbucks. |
20,299 | Wow, I can't say enough about this cake. Even the dry mix smells heavenly. We were just blown away by how good it is. It's moist with a nice height and crumb--You almost cannot believe it isn't homemade. |
