I am not usually into coffees other than true coffee flavor but I have to say that the sample of this that I received with my VUE System got me hooked. I absolutely love it. Just ordered 5 boxes. Flavor is out of this world.
This was one of the first Vue cups I tried and I am so glad I did. I loved the aroma, the taste, and the smoothness of this coffee. It is one of my very favorites in the Vue Cups. It has the perfect amount of flavor and does not have any bitter aftertaste. It is just smooth and refreshing. Even my hubby who typically doesn't do flavored coffee, reaches for this one time and time again.
Sometimes hazlenut coffees can taste a little bitter to me, but I always go for them anyway because I love the smell - just add some half and half and stevia. I don't need to with Gloria Jean's - it is a pleasurable experience with OR without my usual fixings!
Brewing this coffee is an experience. The aroma is wonderful, and the taste is exceptional. Prior to being turned on to dark roasts, this was my favorite brew. It is delicious!
I love this product! The hazelnut aroma fills my home at exactly 7AM every morning. It literally could NOT get any better. I'm a big fan of the flavored coffees. I got out of my way all the time to try something good. I never liked much of Gloria Jeans' coffee to begin with. They are usually too bitter in taste, even with small amounts of coffee. However, I love this blend. It smells wonderful and it tastes even better. I have a cup of this every morning. It has become my regular cup and, for me, that says a lot. I use a sweet creamer and I only put in a teaspoon of sugar and a teaspoon of creamer. The creamer I use is vanilla caramel, so every morning, I have a cup of hazelnut vanilla caramel heaven.
