[...]. The coconut smell is strong, which didn't deter me. The taste reminded me a lot of a Mounds bar, and since I also bought Swiss Chocolate Almond cups, my house smelled like Almond Joy for hours.
This coffee has a great flavor however, I have to use 2 k-cups for one cup of coffee to get the right balance of flavor and body. Just 1, even with 6 ounces of water is too thin. With 2 , great flavor especially with creme brulee cream!!
We got this coffee because my husband and i both love coconut and had never before met something coconut flavored we didn't like...until we tried this coffee. It smells really good brewing but once you take the first sip you are like blech! Its very bitter and even if you add sugar or creamer, it doesn't help very much. I'm sad that i couldn't get the sample pack and now have a whole box that i won't drink.
I don't really drink coffee, but I'll drink this everyday. It needs to be a permanent addition to the K-cup selection. Great taste without a need for a lot of creamer and sugar (which I pour heavy in my other coffees). Definately try it!
I LOVE this coffee for spring/summer. It makes you feel like you should be sitting on the beach! I wish it was available for all year. I just stocked up before it is unavailable again! :)
