Perfect Samplers Coffee Pod Variety Pack

I am a repeat purchaser of the Perfect Sampler Variety Pack of dark road and bold flavors. I repeatedly purchased because it gave my husband and I the opportunity to quickly, easily and conveniently try a variety of bold coffee types and brands.Let me set the scene a bit. My husband and I have been together for 24 years and began drinking coffee 12 years ago out of necessity (i.e., desperate need for energy to meet the demands of our busy lives) so we were more interested in the caffeine; taste was secondary. Over the past couple years, we morphed into a healthier morning routine of sharing time together reading the news on our iPads, long walks with our English Springer Spaniel and talking over coffee before heading to work. Therefore, today the taste of coffee is more important than its effect. And we prefer flavorful bold and dark roasts.Now my review of this coffee variety box. There are a few awesome coffee brands in the box (e.g., Wolfgang Puck, Barrie House, and 1 or 2 others), but the sample box will only have 1 of each of the best coffees; that is 5 of 40 (~ 12%) are the really good, pleasing and yummy start to your day coffees. The variety box is mainly made up of mediocre brands (e.g., Guy Fieri, Cake Boss, Tim Horton) that are satisfactory but not particularly yummy or bold enough to savor the moment; ~23 of 40 k cups or 57%. If it weren't for the more yummy and bold selections in the sample, the mediocre samples are satisfactory enough to keep you happy. But what makes this sample box unlikeable is the 12 k cups (30% of the box) of not bold, poor tasting coffees (i.e., Skinny Girl, Hurricane, Dark Sky and others). When we first began purchasing this sample box a year or so ago, there would be one or three of these lower-end coffees in the box; an acceptable number to encourage repeat purchase. BTW, Skinny Girl, in particular, is like drinking dirty water. On our last two purchases of this sample box, it contained 5 Hurricanes and 3 Skinny Girls, and a couple other low-end, less bold selections and only 2 Barrie House and 1 Wolfgang Puck and the remainder a mix of the mediocre. Because of the decline in the quality of the selections in the Perfect Sampler Variety Pack, I will no longer purchase this product and cannot recommend to others.Be well and be safe during the pandemic.
