My husband likes his coffee extremely strong, so much so that I brew the 5 oz cups and double up on the kcups in a large mug. Basically, he likes sludge, lol.
He had been drinking Timothy’s French Roast, but the price has gone up again and I really despise the packaging. Really…they’re kcups, not bone china, why the need for 2 packages, carboard, plastic and another box?
I like the fact that these kcups come in a single box, not as much waste.
Anyway, my picky husband said that this coffee was surprisingly good. I’m happy without the extra packaging and the lower price tag.
Now they just need to put this on Subscribe and Save.

Jet Fuel is our favorite of the Coffee People “extra-bold trilogy”–Jet Fuel, Wake Up Call, and Black Tiger. It’s dark, sweet, and rich, with a fuller body than Wake Up Call or Black Tiger. It has a clean finish and notes of chocolate and honey.
We also love the new packaging. Since K-cups are nitrogen-packed, the coffee doesn’t go stale, so the last cup is as good as the first. If there are a couple of dark-roast lovers in your family, a box of 50 will be slurped down in no time. And I have to say that, even though we store them in the back of a dark cabinet, the box graphics are a nice touch. It probably cost them a fraction of a fraction of a cent to make it a little more attractive, and I appreciate that!
When you first got your Keurig brewer, you drank through the sampler coffees… and if you asked yourself, “Is that as dark as it gets??” then I think you’ll go for Jet Fuel or one of the other Coffee People EBs.
P.S. You might look into Emeril’s Big Easy Bold as well. It was the first big hit for us, and still one of our faves.

We get Coffee People Oranic X-bold through subscribe and save. Imagine my frustration when our last order contained a box of Jet Fuel. I’m pretty picky about my coffee. I don’t like weak coffee, nor does my husband. I decided to try a cup of the Jet Fuel, hoping it was at least tolerable so I didn’t have to go through the trouble of returning it.
We loved it. We were bummed when we ran out, and we’re now going to switch our subscribe and save to Jet Fuel.

Yes, Jet Fuel is plenty strong, dense, bitter. However, for me it lacked aroma and richness. I love dark and bold but I prefer Tully’s Italian Roast or Newman’s Own Organic Special Blend Extra Bold. I’ll pick up some Emeril’s Big Easy Bold when I find a sale.

I confess that I never would have actually purchased a Keurig coffee maker, but I received one as a gift and I have found it to be a useful and enjoyable toy. Being able to brew one high-quality cup of coffee is indeed one of life’s little luxuries.
Like other single-serving, prepackaged food technologies, however, Keurig k-cup coffee tends toward the expensive when compared to whole bean or tinned ground coffee. If for this reason alone the Amazon “subscribe and save” approach to buying K-cups would be a fabulous institution. By having the coffee delivered at regular intervals (with free shipping!) the cost is reduced considerably.
But which coffees to buy? I selected Jet Fuel partly, I confess, because the name is so darned cute. The (relatively) non-wasteful packaging also was an attraction, though let’s face it, there is plenty of plastic residue associated with this brewing technology. The Coffee People at least minimize the waste, however, and for this I salute them.
What about the coffee itself? Jet Fuel is a dark, rich, full-bodied coffee that to me is reminiscent of the “industrial strength” coffee I can get at Peet’s, my favorite west coast coffee purveyor/establishment. In other words, it’s amazingly delicious. The Keurig system allows you to select the strength you want.
Overall, Jet Fuel is a winner for fans of robust coffee. Bon appetit!
