If you drink...no if you thrive on a cup of freshly brewed espresso then Green Mountain has a K-Cup finally for you!  Green Mountain's New Double Black Diamond K-Cup Coffee is smoky, seriously dark and tremendously bold.  I enjoy French Press coffee and Green Mountain's Double Black Diamond comes close to delivering a similar taste profile.  You know - the feeling of the finely grounded beans still vaguely present, the sense that by drinking a full cup all of the moisture in your mouth is being drained - yet no bitterness.

Green mountain describes this coffee as, "heavy-bodied, with a dark and toasty flavor." And for added flair they state, "On a darkness scale of 1-10, this one goes to eleven."  Admittedly, Green Mountain's description of Double Black Diamond is dead-on.  It was absolutely heavy-bodied although a dose of half-and half toned it down quickly.  The Double Black is dark - both in taste and actual color even with the dose of half and half its colored remained dark brown. But the taste - toasty, smoky, dark and very delicious.

I actually find the Double Black Diamond not too far beyond the taste profile of Green Mountain's Espresso Blend which is another one of my favorites from their Extra Bold collection (K-Cups that contain up to 20% more coffee.)   Double Black Diamond is the type of coffee that I can't drink too much of because it makes me feel like I need to down 16 cups of water afterwards to get re-hydrated!  But that's a good sign of a truly extra bold coffee! 

As I sip a cup of Double Black Diamond, I am really serious about its dehydration factor.  Although I have had a few cups of Coffee People's Doughnut Shop and a Caribou Coffee from a local store already today, the Green Mountain Double Black Diamond has put me over the edge.  I need some water!   Wow - that's impressive.  Congratulations Green Mountain - this stuff is potent!

As Green Mountain stated, Double Black Diamond K-Cup Coffee is "not for the faint of heart."  But if you seriously enjoy a dark, really extra bold, and close-to-espresso like coffee - then you need to jump on this one.  I can't imagine that you will be disappointed.  Get over to Green Mountain Coffee for some Double Black Diamond now.

Let me know what you think once you try it.  Did it get ya reaching for some water?
