Need to read the article, but after recent occasional experiences with an associate's, I've been wondering whether the flavor profiles I experience with K-cup coffee servings are due to flavoring agents.

And I am rather suspicious of their coming from a package of pre-ground coffee with a shelf life of months or years and manufactured/sold at the price point their are finding.
