Though we should mention when we did a &#8216;side by side&#8217; comparison using our home brewed version and one from the local drive-thru window, they did not taste the same. The restaurant version was definitely stronger tasting (I know some call this bold and prefer it, others might say &#8216;bitter&#8217;). Regardless, at least in our test, they do not have the same flavor profile, with the home version being milder.<\/p>\n<p>Having said that, the aroma is what you expect, the taste is smooth and balanced, so it is certainly an enjoyable cup of coffee.<\/p>\n<p><small>One final thing we will mention, we had a problem with our pods. In this review, the picture shown is the exact pod we used, if you notice they have a &#8216;rippled side&#8217;, verses most pods, which have smooth sides. Whatever the reason though, our pods &#8216;popped the internal filter&#8217; as they brewed, causing grounds to end up in the cup, and making the coffee undrinkable.
