For a medium roast coffee, this coffee is the best I've had outside a coffee shop. I enjoy a lot of others, but if I had to pick a favorite K cup, this is it! Nantucket has a smooth, mellow but full-bodied taste. Brew on medium for best cup. I just wish Amazon had it on subscribe and save.
Every morning!

This is my favorite K-Cup and I drink it every morning on my way to work. The coffee is smooth and mellow, I find it to be the perfect cup of morning brew every day!
Better than average for cheap k-cup standard of coffee

As for the Green Mountain K-cup. These k-cups do not give you the flavor you would normally get from brewing Green Mountain coffee. The k-cups are week and taste watered down compared to brewing the loose/ground coffee in a conventional way, thus my 3 star rating. With that said: These k-cups are slightly better than other k-cups on the market. If you are going to use k-cups I would recommend this brand and brew. I would also recommend buying at Amazon as the prices are right compared to other sites.
This k-cup is over priced. If you look at the price you pay for this k-cup compared to the loose ground/whole beans you would be surprised. You pay $0.50 a cup for a k-cup and $0.05 a cup for loose. You get a 100 x's better cup from loose then with a k-cup. Why pay more for a crappy cup? Convenience! But there are ways to avoid that cost
The environment. By using the loose/ground and the k-filter you help save the environment as all you toss out is ground coffee. Every k-cup used takes up space in a landfill somewhere. In my opinion it is the same as using a foam cup as to a ceramic mug to drink your coffee.
Keurig. This machine is convenient and quick. But it is expensive to use with the k-cups, costing the average family $50+ a month. To cut this cost to as low as $10 I use the k-filter with the machine and Green Mountain is one of my brands. The loose/ground coffee in the filter gives you a stronger cup but still not the greatest but better than the k-cup alone by far. Using the Keurig you must make a choice to sacrifice quality over conveinance. I make that sacrifice during the week as I have little time on the weekday's to brew a pot of coffee. But I choose to use the filter with the Green Mountain loose/ground coffee and get a slightly better cup and save about $40.00 a month.
