Smells great... Taste is terrible

I can't have caffeine and find it near impossible to acquire flavored versions of decaf coffee. I was excited to try these. The plastic is soft and won't puncture but I do that manually. Not a problem. Haven't had an issue with them making a mess in the machine. I also received an even amount of each flavor. I give it a low rating, though, because the taste is awful. They smell wonderful but are so bitter I cannot drink them. I taste no flavor of any of them. They all taste the exact same. Very disappointed. I gave them away. For reference, I like Folgers medium roast decaf and find it very palatable. These were super bitter compared to it. Maybe I got an old or bad batch (or maybe it's a darker roast than I prefer) because I don't see how other reviewers rave about the flavors.
