Victor Allen's Coffee Winter Wonderland 96ct Flavored Variety Pack (Peppermint Bark, Cinnamon Bun, Sugar Cookie, Vanilla Buttercream), 96 Count Single Serve Coffee Pods for Keurig K-Cup Brewers

These have great flavours. A bit pricey though.

I have bought 3 different flavour packs and they are all great.

Like a lot of other shoppers, I was trying to find decent flavored coffee pods at a good price. Also, like a lot of others, I was interested in a peppermint flavored coffee, and this variety pack offered one without demanding an arm and a leg in trade (*ahem* Starbucks, Dunkin). I really happen to like cinnamon in my coffee, too, so the Cinnamon Bun flavor seemed promising and I was excited to try it.Firstly, I can understand why some reviewers claim there is "no flavor" to these; the flavoring that is there is not overpoweringly, punch-in-the-face strong--which I think some people need/expect. I'm not one of those people, however, and could easily taste the Peppermint Bark and Vanilla Buttercream, with the Sugar Cookie being a little more subtle. As for Cinnamon Bun... well, that's another story I'll get to in a bit. All the coffee itself claims to be medium roast, but I'd be shocked if it were actually anything beyond a light roast. If you like strong coffee, this is not for you, especially in this k-cup format. Oh, and there was a weird smell coming from the printed foil lids, especially after heated from brewing... maybe the ink used? Thankfully not the coffee itself, but still a little off-putting (though not really noticeable with the Peppermint Bark pods, for some reason).Anyway, breaking this pack down by flavor, I'll go from my favorite to least-favorite:- Peppermint Bark: 4/5 stars. The flavor was there for me, but as I said earlier, not overly strong. But if I wanted overly strong, I'd pour peppermint schnapps into my regular coffee and be done with it. This is a softer peppermint, like you've stirred your coffee with a candy cane; enough to be appreciable and enjoyable (and you can really smell it as it's brewing). 1 star off because I'd prefer a stronger roast on the coffee, and just a *bit* more flavoring would be nice. I would buy this flavor again, on its own, though.- Vanilla Buttercream: 4/5 stars. This one (pleasantly) surprised me. Vanilla flavors can easily get lost, and that's what I expected from this and the Sugar Cookie. But there is a rich, actual butter flavor/aroma to this that I really liked in addition to the vanilla. Again, flavor and coffee roast could be a little stronger, for my preference, so 1 star off.- Sugar Cookie: 3/5 stars. Honestly, what I got from this one is only slightly better than what I expected. Sugar cookie is such a subtle flavor to begin with, that paired with (what I truly believe to be) a light roast coffee, it was surprising to be able to taste the flavor at all--but I could. Somewhat. That said, it really only amounted to an average cup of coffee with a hint of cookie taste from time to time.- Cinnamon Bun: 0/5 stars. This one was unbelievably disappointing. No cinnamon flavor, whatsoever. Hell, there wasn't even any COFFEE flavor. The only possible way this could remind me of a cinnamon bun is if I scraped the icing off and mixed it with a copious amount of hot water.... It was seriously like hot sugar-water, but somehow without the sugar. Even with generous amounts of creamer and sweetener added, this one was unpalatable to me and I could not finish the cup. I really can't see saving the remainder of these pods in the back of my coffee drawer, "just in case", as it didn't even give me a plain old cup of coffee--will likely just throw them out.Overall, I wouldn't buy this variety pack again, though I would purchase the Peppermint Bark flavor individually. Vanilla Buttercream might be worth buying individually, as well, if that's a flavor profile you like. Both had enough, good flavor for me to enjoy my cups of coffee. The other two flavors, though, were average at best, and horribly disgusting at worst--making half the variety pack a waste of money, for me, even though it is decently priced.

It is good coffee but a lot of the cups are no longer under pressure, if they ever were.
