K-Cup of the Week: revv® Coffee

Each week I review a new delicious K-Cup on an "official" coffee grading system that emphasizes four critical categories:  (1) Aroma; (2) Strength; (3) Taste; (4) Marketing Tactics that Forced Me to Force My Office to Purchase Said K-Cup.  I will conclude each review with an Overall grade.  This week I go flying with revv® Coffee from Green Mountain Coffee.  

Aroma:  7

With a name like revv®, you would probably expect to smell motor oil seeping from your Keurig machine.  Nay.  You smell a fresh cup of coffee that is going to have you doing bicycle kicks throughout your office in no time.

Strength:  10

The coffee is called  revv®.  Green Mountain Coffee has its own website for revv®coffee which describes the coffee as a "high-performance brew with smooth balance and high-octane attitude."  I agree.  Drink one of these on Monday morning, you'll think its Friday.  

Taste:  8

I like my coffee bold; extra bold for that matter.  For what I consider to be an extra bold coffee, the taste is smooth.  I drink my coffee black, so if you like adding a tub of cream to your coffee, I'm sure the taste will be even smoother.    

Marketing Tactics that Forced Me to Force My Office to Purchase Said K-Cup:  10

Green Mountain really grabbed my attention (which is quite limited) with  revv®.  I was looking for a coffee that said "You are going to dominate today, Josh," so I purchased  revv®.         

Overall:  8

If strength is what you are looking for, look no further than  revv®.  If you are looking for something a little lighter, you may want to look elsewhere.  If you are looking for decaf, hide from revv®.
