What I ordered, so readers will understand this review, was the "30-count Crazy Cups Flavored Coffee Single Serve Cups for Keurig K Cups Brewer Variety Pack Sampler". It's supposed to have 2 each of 15 listed flavors. First thing you should know is that the selection is packed somewhat randomly and you won't get exactly what's described (or what's in the photo, which is not the same).I love variety and was hoping to taste as many of the flavors as possible, so I was delighted when my box turned out to have 17 different flavors in it. I received the following:Salted Caramel (2)Chocolate Raspberry Truffle (2)Crazy Jamaican Java (2)Caramel Pecan Cluster (2)Frosted Oatmeal Cookie (2)Death by Chocolate (2)Pumpkin Vanilla Creme (2)Peppermint Chocolate Mocha (2)Chocolate Coconut Dream (2)Caramel Truffle Sundae (2)Italian Chocolate Cheesecake (2)Cinnamon Churro (1)Apple Pie a la Mode (1)White Christmas (1)Peanut Butter & Jelly (1)Blackberry Meringue (1)Bananas Foster Flambe (3)I waited a couple of weeks to write this so I'd have time to try most of the flavors. So far, I've liked them all, and really loved certain ones. They all have wonderful aromas, and the flavors, while subtle sometimes, are true to description. I drink my coffee with lots of half & half, so I may be drowning the flavors a bit - I bet they'd come through even better for those who drink their coffee with sugar only.Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich, surprisingly, is my favorite so far. The fruit flavor really comes through, and yep, there's just a hint (a tease) of peanut flavor there as well. Bananas Foster Flambe - sort of coconutty/caramelly, and yet there's that hint of banana if you taste it carefully. The other fruit coffees (Blackberry Meringue, Chocolate Raspberry Truffle), are also quite good. Salted Caramel was very nice - probably the best caramel flavored coffee I've had in any K-cup brand including *bucks. Pumpkin Vanilla Creme has a mellow taste, not spicy like other brands' pumpkin spice, but smooth and pumpkin-y. Crazy Jamaican Java smells like butterscotch! White Christmas was good too -- the flavor is hard to pin down but it's nice (Crazy Cups website describes it as "Coffee with rich notes of Caramel, Macadamia Coconut, Vanilla and Bourbon. This is Santa’s Secret Stash – what he drinks while eating your cookies".)I was less impressed with Cinnamon Churro, Apple Pie a la Mode, Frosted Oatmeal Cookie, and Caramel Pecan Cluster -- they're ok but not distinctive enough.Would I order this again? Definitely. The surprise and the variety is tons of fun, and even the less-impressive flavors were good. I also want to try the ones I didn't get this time! Better still, I might put together a Custom Sampler of my favorites (available via Crazy Cups own website or the third-party vendor Perfect Samplers who I think is fulfilling the Amazon packages). Custom Samplers involve ordering 4 each of as many different flavors as needed to fill up a package.
