Rich, sweet, full-bodied coffee from a k-cup
Despite giving Emeril's Big Easy Bold five stars, I think it only fair to open with a couple of negative points. First, if you're looking for authentic New Orleans style coffee, you'll likely be disappointed by the lack of chicory root. Frankly, I doubt that most coffee drinkers will mourn the lost chicory. Second, this coffee is a concentrated dark roast; if you're fan of light roasts and mild coffees, this variety will probably taste ashy and too strong.

We just started using our Keurig B40 last week, and the first few k-cups I tried were disappointingly watery. The Emeril's Big Easy Bold is one of the few blends I've found that provides a full-bodied cup of coffee without any harsh overtones and without any nasty, bitter after-taste. Made with a single varietal (Colombian-grown arabica), Emeril's Big Easy Bold brews up with a rich cocoa aroma and a thin trace of crema. The flavor includes caramel, chocolate, and fruity notes with a hint of pepperiness, but the chocolate note lingers in the finish.

I don't add sugar or cream to my coffee, but I doubt that either addition would detract from the overall experience. Excellent with scones.

A Bit of New Orleans For Your Keurig!
I am enjoying my new box of Emeril's Big Easy Bold. It's a taste of New Orleans for your Keurig. It is, in fact, quite smokey tasting and a strong cup of coffee. Not quite as rich as I prefer on the largest k-cup setting (B-60), but still a good change of pace. Alas, it does NOT contain chicory, but it is a 100% arabica blend coffee. A good choice!

Finally!
We got a Keurig system last year for Christmas. It has been great. I however, like coffee that has body, strength and depth. Most K-cups are way too weak for me. Note: I use a fair bit of milk in my coffee, so that colors my interpretations.

I tried Emeril's Big Easy Bold since I am constantly on the lookout for 'bold' coffee. It does not disappoint. This is a very good cup of coffee, it has the strength I like, and the body one is used to from brewed coffee. It does have a pronounced Parisian roast flavor (my husband calls it 'cigarette ash' flavor) which is normal for New Orleans style coffee. If you like that Parisian roast taste you will like this coffee. It is not for the faint hearted!
