Buyers beware- I almost broke my Senseo trying to use them- The Senseo got stuck closed and I had to wait for it to let go of the vacuum. I think its because there is more coffee in these. |

We don't know of any other pod maker that has this flavor and it's really good! We love the way it smells - the way it tastes - and the fact it is just plain different. Most pod people are ignoring the flavored sector to this extent - and it's nice to have a cup of really flavored coffee - meaning - a rich...flavored cup of coffee is hard to come by and this one is very good." - singleservecoffee.com |

I always drink it at my grandmother's house. I am a red tea lover, and I compare all other teas to this one. The flavors blend perfectly and are complemented by a small addition of sweetness. Honey is the best, but stevia works well too. Red Zinger is close as my second favorite, and Tazo African Red Bush falls in a weak third place. |

One problem, liked to never of broken into the goods. That top was really glued on, not good for old farts with bad hands. A rusty knife may work, but I sure don't want to cut some precious coffee packets. Some kind of pull string, like on those old dog food bags, or a ductape seal would do the trick.
Well, shiver me timbers. I just learned. via another old fart, that there is a secret passage into the EkoJava coffee chest. By golly, there's a hidden perforation under the label, no signs or maps, about two inches down from the top, that opens the goods real smart. Just run a fingernail around the perforation and twist the top right off. Who would of ever guessed?
Now, more Java for me mates. |

I got the product and immediately tried it. The flavor was incredible and the stick packs were nice, but I hope they will come out with a bulk (not in stick packs), pre-ground coffee option in the near future. Other than that, I could not be more impressed or pleased with the product. |
212588 | 212588 | B004LL46Y0 | AJYK05O72TKOF | Book Buyer | 4 | 4 | 5 | 1308268800 | Best of Three | The Sumatra coffee is my favorite of the EkoJava blends [I've tried French Roast and Honduras House]. It has a nice bold flavor and the packet size is great for the re-usable k-cups [solofill or my k-cup type]. I'll purchase again. |

I like bold, strong coffee and this very nearly fills the bill; I brew 12-ounce cups and it's good; 10- or 8-ounce cups even better for my taste. No mess, nice canister, good coffee. The price is decent when it's on sale for $10; I think the list price is too steep.
I brew it in a solo cup with an ez filter. Less mess, less waste (of water. I don't like the amount of water I waste rinsing away coffee grounds.)
I'd like to see them come up with a stronger blend, a variety pack, and a refill option to cut down on price and packaging even more. |

We bought two EkoBrew baskets, a can of the Sumatran, and one of the Honduran. When the Sumatran refused to brew a full cup we contacted the company. Received a nice email that explained the grind was "pre EkoBrew" and they admit to it not working well with their single serve basket. That being said, they apologized and suggested for us to use less coffee with a smaller cup setting - as well as offering us a refund for the inconvenience.
So, I'm not sure if the taste is fantastic enough for more than two stars, since I can't brew a proper cup with their own product. I gave them an extra star for customer service. |

The 4 star review is actually due to the cost of EkoJava more than anything else. At $10 the price is as good as or cheaper than k-cups much of the time. At $12 (as of the time of this review) it is 48 cents a cup. I have never seen it at full price, but $15 for 25 cups is too much money I think. The good part is that the quality of the coffee is very good. I am not a coffee connoisseur by any means, but the Ekojava is some of the best unflavored coffee I have ever had from my Keurig.
I think it might be ground a bit too finely though. The brew time is pretty darn long (even double sometimes) but I have not been getting short-cupped at all. I would worry about it more if I was getting short-cupped. At first it looks like all of the coffee isn't going to fit below the solofill line, but just shaking it back and forth to even the top off is enough to get the grounds enough to go below the line (I did not tamp it down at all.)
My only other complaint is that when you open the EkoJava packet with the perforated line on the package, the hole to pour the grounds out can be a bit small. I get around it by either using scissors, or opening it with the perforated line in such a way that makes the hole bigger.
Overall, IF you can get EkoJava on sale at a point where it is the same price or cheaper than k-cups then I say it is a good buy assuming you already have a solofill. The coffee I think is very good quality, there is a lot less plastic waste than using k-cups, and there is still some of the single-serve convenience of k-cups since the EkoJava packets are also single-serve. |

Also if I use my solo refillable with regular grind (Maxwell House for example) it brews a full cup. So I cannot use my ekojava except tearing open several and putting in my regular coffee make! :-( not happy!

It's not terrible, but it tastes a little off. Perhaps I have bad batch. Or perhaps my tongue is more accustomed to other brands' Sumatran. |

I chose this one because we've enjoyed Sumatra coffee in the past. Overall, better than store brands and better price. (product was on sale at time of purchase) Yes, I have had better coffees but they were also comparably more expensive and I've also had a lot worse. The product we has was fresh so no complaints there. Yes, there is a little more coffee than you need for a k-cup in the individual packet. I can see where this might be an issue in an office but for us at home its not and just gets added to the next cup. If you grind your own you generally have extra anyhow. |

The coffee itself is not bad. It's not as bold as other Sumatran blends that I have had, so I'd say it's a medium roast. There was a sale on Amazon so I decided to buy it to try it. For the sale price it's a good deal, but I don't think I'd buy it for the full price. |

I tried it to get away from the high cost of other K cups. I bought french roast, west coast roast,and the Sumatra. The Sumatra is one of the best. really they are all good. The packing is a neat brown carton similar to what Quaker oats came in. using the Eco Java cup is easy it sits flat you tear open the packet and pour in then snap shut. brewing seems to take just a little longer but the coffee is hot and full flavored. |

Strong flavor, strong aroma. Sumatra is one of my single favorite flavors as black coffee, and EkoJava doesn't disappoint as far as taste is concerned. 5/5 stars for the coffee.
These are marketed along with the EkoBrew K-Cup replacement, which is how I have been using them. The thing is - these "single serve packets" don't fit into the Ekobrew K-cup - there is too much coffee. There is no practical way to "save" the remaining grounds for use another time/day. I don't drink the same flavor every day, so it would be a few days before I rotate back to this flavor, and then I'd have to open another package to even out the amount - leaving me with another partial package. Unpractical to say the least. I bought this to save time and flavor (after exposure to air, the flavor becomes less potent.) and I'm not really saving either. I spend more time trying to tap out the proper amount of grinds to fit into the EcoBrew, and then the package is open, so the leftovers aren't as rich as the first brew. Package review would be 2 stars out of 5 - the functionality of it is there, but the sizing needs a major improvement to be practical for what it's marketed as.
In summary: Taste is great, Package size leaves a lot to be desired. 4/5 total. |
