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®.
