Alterra House Blend Decaf Coffee Flavia Pods, Light Roast, 100/Carton (MDRA187)

I've always liked their coffee. I've had a Flavia machine since 2006 and though it is not my main brewer now it is my secondary brewer and I like the flavor and convivence.

We have the larger Flavia/Mars Creation 500 machines at work. I have the smaller "Aroma" machine at home and love it for the convenience. There's really nothing to clean which really can't be said about most other coffee machines. Only water flows through the machine and all the brewing takes place in the small disposable coffee packets. My only complaint is that the packets can be a little difficult to find and they are a little on the expensive side. The selection is somewhat limited compared to the Keurig style coffees. But for me, the convenience wins every time!

It's easy and I like it

A couple of years ago, my friends showed us the Flavia machine and then gave me a taste of how good a cup of coffee it could make. We immediately went out and bought one and have enjoyed using it ever since. While I have tried all of their different blends, we have settled on the House Blend as our daily brew. My wife can only drink de-caf and I find that the difference in taste between regular and the "un-leaded" is beyond my meager taste buds ability to tell the difference. Especially since I usually put in sweetener and milk.The taste is smooth but with a good body. The blend has a good just-brewed coffee aroma but can be sharp and intense if you stand close by the machine as it steams out a cup. I have not tried to drink it black but I have sipped it with just half & half and it's quite nice.If you have a Flavia machine and want to cut down on the caffeine you drink, you will be pleased with the decaf house blend.4 and not 5 stars because I don't love the sharp aroma at brew time.

I have been using this brand for years. Never disappoints.

I have to drink decaf. The House Blend is ok, but next time I may try the French Roast and see if there's a difference.

I chose the House Blend Decaf because I am only supposed to drink decaffinated products and I've had it before and enjoyed the flavor so it was an easy choice for me. What I like about this particular decaf is that it is not too acidy. I have had other decafs that are kind of harsh in flavor, this is smoother. If I could change anything, I would like it to be just a little bit stronger, but it is a good cup of coffee for me!

Stop buying the product because it was too expensive.
