Product Details Return to Top Tasting Notes Breakfast Blend is our classic, lively, and vibrant New England breakfast cup. Breakfast Blend offers a snappy, crisp, and citrusy Central American coffee matched with the sweetness, body, and depth of an Indonesian bean to create a wakeful blend that won’t try to compete with your orange juice in terms of its brightness. "Great balance of vibrance and sweetness. The right body brings harmony to sparkling acidity and toasted nut tones." — Lindsey Bolger, Director of Coffee Sourcing and Relationships About Green Mountain Coffee® A great tasting cup of coffee can give you a whole new perspective. It's a moment to pause, reflect, and reprioritize. That moment is what inspires us to make coffee that benefits everyone it touches. From carefully sourcing and roasting the highest quality beans, to supporting small farms and protecting the environment, we focus on what's important. That's why we at Green Mountain Coffee® believe a good cup of coffee can change your day... but a great cup of coffee can help change the world. Notes From Origin One of the components of Breakfast Blend is Costa Rican coffee that we buy from the Vargas family in the Central Valley of Costa Rica in Alajuela. On the horizon rises the majestic form of Poas, the world's largest volcanic crater. Against this impressive backdrop is set Doka, the garden-like estate that has been lovingly farmed by the same family for four generations. The Vargas family has struck the perfect balance between tradition and technological progress. On any given day, Don Rodrigo Vargas is just as likely to be found examining the results of his most recent agricultural experiment as he is overseeing the century-old ritual of drying coffee on Doka's sun-bathed patios. Six Vargas families live on 32 farms totaling over 1000 acres, of which 22% is conserved and 60% in shade coffee. There are three mills, 278 full-time employees, and 3,100 coffee pickers. In March 2008, our own Lindsey Bolger, Director of Coffee Sourcing and Relationships, was invited to Doka to cup (a rigorous and objective form of sensory evaluation) some of their fine coffee. As we've been buying from the Vargas family for years, a number of our employees have visited, including Deb Crowther, one of our cuppers and green bean buyer. While Don Rodrigo hasn't visited yet, his daughter Natalie was here in Waterbury, VT, in the fall of 2007 for a visit.

It reminds me of most Breakfast Blends at Starbucks, Seattle's Best, Dunkin' Donuts, or Panera and perhaps smoother and less bitter than those. Smooth flavor, nice traditional choice.Comment on this review2/15/2013(1 of 2 customers found this review helpful) 5.0Good cup of coffee By Virgilfrom Tower Hill, ILAbout Me Average JoeProsAttractive Mouthfeel/BodyBalanced AcidityExceptional/Interesting FlavorNot BitterPleasing AromaPleasing RoastSmooth TasteConsBest UsesSingle-Cup/PodsComments about Green Mountain Coffee K-Cup Breakfast Blend:I think this is a great cup of coffe, tastes good.

Not sure if something has happened in the processing phase, but something is deffinately different with this coffee. It's very weak, no flavor and even bitter at times. It was my favorite, but now not so much.Comment on this review11/13/2012(3 of 3 customers found this review helpful) 5.0LOVE IT.
