I bought this in one of the local grocery stores as a special treat and it is really good. The peppermint is not overpowering. I would definitely buy it again.
I was so excited when I saw this box of coffee in the store, and could not wait to get home to try it. I was so very disappointed!!! It is very weak, and no white chocolate or peppermint flavor!! I tried 10 oz, 8 oz and even 6 oz. and still no flavor. Very disappointed! I would hope that I just got a bad batch, but don't want to waste my money buying another box. It's too bad, because this could have been really good.
I love this coffee. If you like Peppermint you will absolutely love this coffee. I use a peppermint creamer and sometimes I even put a candy cane in it. Yummy.
The peppermint flavor was barely noticeable....and no chocolate flavor at all. So disappointed! This is a mild coffee that tastes okay so I will drink it (I added peppermint creamer) but don't order if you expecting this to wake up your tastebuds.
I purchased this product very excited to try it! The packaging is very inviting and promises a light roast coffee "dressed up with the taste of creamy white chocolate and a crushed candy cane finish". Personally I taste no difference between this product and regular Donut Shop coffee, it led me to think the product was either mispackaged or EXTREMELY misleading. Either way, very disapointing. I hope Kerig adresses this because I think this flavor would be a hit.
Pros: Packaging, Idea
Cons: Lack of flavor, No White Chocolate Flavor, No Mint Flavor
I am not a super fan of flavored coffee. However, I saw this on the shelf at BB&B and had to try it. I LOVE IT!!! The peppermint taste is not to overwhelming and it has a good mixture of chocolate and peppermint flavor. I put in the Coffee Mate Italian Sweet Cream creamer (Sugar Free version) and it tastes so GOOD! There was only 2 boxes left on the shelf so I am going to order it online. Give it a try!
I am a huge fan of chocolate and mint together - cookies, drinks, candy - all of it. And this time of year, I am in peppermint bark heaven! Peppermint bark, regardless of brand, has a tendency to go 1 of 2 ways: It will either go a delicious chocolate and mint heaven way, or a weird tasteless white chocolate, off-sweet and overwhelming off-mint way. This was unfortunately the latter. It had a strong bitter coffee taste, even after added milk and sugar. The white chocolate taste wasn't flavorful, and the peppermint was lackluster. I was so excited to try this, but am just completely underwhelmed and unhappy. I enjoy the taste more as I go through the cup, but I don't think enough to keep it. So disappointed. Would love to taste a more real chocolate flavor. I don't detest this, but I won't go out of my way to have it.
