I purchase Newman’s Own Extra-bold Special Blend K-cups, 80 Pk for Keurig Brewers from Costco online and I love it. But through Costo you get 108 cups. I wanted to see how this product compares. It is 9 cents less, but Newmans wins out for flavor. For me it is worth the difference. If you can’t buy Newmans from Costco, don’t buy it on Amazon. Too expensive. Stick with Wake Up call. All in all a very good, strong coffee.

Wake Up Call is angry. Angry at sleep. Angry at you. I love it.

I like dark roasts, and I especially like drinks that can deliver as much caffeine as quickly as possible. What I often find though, is that dark roasts often come with a bitter and / or acidic aftertaste (I'm looking at you, Jet Fuel). Wake Up Call, however, is incredibly smooth.

On the medium setting, Wake Up Call is consistently decent and full-flavored. It's passable on the large setting, which I find uncommon. Really, though, medium is where it's at.

And caffeine? Well, every morning, I brew one cup on medium, and one on small, which fills my Contigo Double Wall Stainless Steel Vacuum Insulated Tumbler perfectly. By the time my cup is empty, I'm ready to tear the heads off of all who would oppose me, and scream at their corpses. I mean that in the best, most awesome way possible.

If you're not ready to commit to 50 of these, consider picking up the Coffee People Extra Bold Variety Pack, and try out Jet Fuel, Black Tiger, and Organic (as well as Wake Up Call, of course). Rating: 5 / 5

I acutally used to be a salesrep for Aramark and sold ONLY coffee to large corporations. Because of that, I had to learn the beans inside and out and so much else about coffee taste.

That's no longer my career, but I still search out good beans for my own morning wake up call.

This is one of my favorites.

Coffee beans break down in taste via 2 main elements: light and oxygen

FRESHNESS: The individual cups, therefore, prevent you opening up a bag daily and exposing your beans to what ruins the taste and freshness each time you open the bag: light and oxygen. This is a good and brilliant thing with the Keurig because you can use cups like these that remained sealed rather than one individual bag that gets opened each day. . Individual cups mean they are opened but once. Total freshness.

TASTE: But none of that matters if the taste of the coffee isn't great to start. And this is. I'm still picky about a rich, full-bodied roast with my eggs each day. This is soothingly wonderful and is a staple in our kitchen. It's dark and rich and full-bodied and very smooth. Rating: 5 / 5

I was given a top of the line K-Cup coffee maker last Christmas. In the next several weeks I tried numerous blends. Several were quite good but Coffee People's Wake Up Call was (and is) without doubt the best by far. In fact it is so good that I am still consistently amazed when I make a cup.

"Wow, this is good coffee!" I think to my self.

I've brewed good coffees many other times over the years but the excitement and satisfaction always faded leading me to try something different. Not so with Wake Up Call. Yes, it is that good! Rating: 5 / 5

If you already own a Keurig, skip to the next paragraph. If you haven’t bought one yet because you’re a little worried by the reports that the coffee it makes is “not quite strong enough,” then fear no more. Buy the Keurig–you won’t regret it.

Wake Up Call is one of what I think of as the Coffee People ExtraBold Trilogy: Wake Up Call, Jet Fuel, and Black Tiger. Wake Up Call has a rich, almost caramel flavor, with a very mild tobaccoey aftertaste. All three of them are for the bold coffee lover… if Dunkin’ Donuts is your java of choice, stay away from this one!

When we first bought our Keurig, I was timid about buying large quantities, but once you find a few brews you really like, bulk purchase makes a lot of sense. K-cups are packed with nitrogen, so the coffee stays fresh an amazingly long time, and the last cup you brew is as delicious as the first. The box this product ships in is the only container–no smaller boxes inside (that just have to go in the recycle bin anyhow)–and the price per K-cup is better. What’s not to like? Bold coffee lovers of the world, Wake Up and smell the coffee!
