This one had very mixed reviews. Those who did like it said, "It reminded me of a slice of pumpkin pie with a little whip cream". There were others that did not approve of the taste or how it brewed.
We used to love this coffee and jumped on a 80 count box at our local big box store. We have tried it on several occasions and we can't taste anything!!! I went to the company's on line store and got a generic were busy your order will be shipped soon due to a computer glitch... That was days ago obviously nobody cares that I spent a fortune on this HUGE box of NO FLAVOR coffee
I'm kind of a pansy when it comes to coffee. I'll admit, I like mine pretty weak. I like to brew this on the 8oz or 10oz setting and then add 6oz of water. I also add about 2oz of unsweetened coconut or almond milk and one packet of stevia. I'd probably like it better if I added another packet of stevia but I try to drink my beverages with as little sweetener as possible, as I'm health conscious. Most people would probably consider this a lighter/weaker coffee but for me it's just right! I'm not too comfortable with this being artificially flavored and not organic, so I probably won't buy it again because of those two things. I wish they could make an organic and naturally flavored one! I'd be all over that!
I got very excited when the 'pumpkin flavored everything' season started, however this coffee is really a no-go. My first cup, tasted like cinnamon mouthwash with a slight hint of coffee. It smelled nice enough when it was brewing, but tasted terrible. No pumpkin, no spice. Just cinnamon. Unpleasant to say the least. With the addition of way too much sugar and milk, it became somewhat palatable, but now cold and too sweet for it's own good. Cup 1 was just a lost cause. I've been hesitant to even try it again, but the box has been sitting on the counter. So today, I gave it another go. Two spoons of sugar and a splash of milk later - still nothing to write home about. Still too much cinnamon. I cannot taste pumpkin at all, cannot taste any other spices. Just sharp spicy cinnamon. I'm beginning to think I got a bad batch. At least it smells nice.
Pros: Smooth Taste, Pleasing Aroma
Cons: Unpleasant Flavor, Unpleasant Aftertaste, Thin Or Watery Mouthfeel/Body
