Two things about Green Mountain. First, it is the company that owns Keurig so if anyone knows what goes into making a great cup of coffee with the Keurig system, it should be them. Green Mountain also has a bit of personal meaning to me. When I went to Allegheny, there was a student-run coffee shop called Grounds for Change that served this coffee. It wasn't amazing coffee by any stretch, although it is fair trade and tastes better than the crap they had in the cafeteria (or the Starbucks we have at Pitt). But it's nice knowing that I can make a cup of my ex-college life in about a minute.
Nantucket Blend is basically their medium-blend normal coffee. It's probably the most popular one they sell and you can find it anywhere. It's a good way to start out with Green Mountain and you'll probably get a sample of it if you buy a Keurig.
Outsides: Normal K-cup. It's pointless for me to say the color past normal coffee and it smells a little smokey.
Insides: Thankfully, i was right about Green Mountain knowing what they were doing with their coffee. It's a little smokey, a little acidic and a little sweet, but has a nice balance between the three. It tastes a bit light, but still has a prevalent coffee flavor. Overall, it's what you'd want out of a basic coffee, a little dimension and a fair amount of flavor.
Overall: You can find it everywhere and pretty much anyone who drinks coffee should like it. It's not amazing, but it's solid enough to get a buy out of me.
My Rating: Buy it! Here's the site. I've also got their Dark Magic and Breakfast Blend for later reviews.
