I am a huge fan of Caribou Coffee...just not this one. Smells great but I’m not a fan of the flavor...unless I add an extra spoonful of sugar. Great for lazy Saturday mornings but. It for my daily get up and go coffee.
The coffee strength was excellent. The scent was perfectly caramel, but it didn't deliver caramel flavor. Maybe the caramel took "hideaway" literally and hid from our tastebuds. The Green Mountain vanilla caramel is a good choice if you're interested in a caramel taste where you don't even need creamer for it to have that coffee and cream flavor.
