Best for fans of plain, bold coffee

Perfect amount of flavor. Not so much that it's too sweet or too bland. Strong aroma of coconut really adds to the experience. Bold enough to be used for a morning coffee.
Seriously, love this coffee. I make it iced mixed with a banana and Silk Coconut milk. Throw it in a blender and it's just like those frappacionos that are sold for $5 a pop and not as bad for you. Too bad it's always sold out and only offered seasonally.
I ordered a box of this when Wolfgang Puck's Jamaica Me Crazy was out of stock. I LIKE THIS ONE BETTER! The coconut taste isn't as toasted-tasting. It's simply a fresh, light, sweet, tropical-tasting cup of coffee. As much as I love it hot, with or without a splash of vanilla soy milk, I cannot tell you how good it is brewed over ice! A little vanilla creamer and it's the perfect summer iced coffee. I'm so bummed that it's seasonal and currently out of stock. Now, I'll have to go back to Jamaica Me Crazy and pay a dollar more a box for something I don't like quite as well. Oh well. It's still good!
Pros: Smooth Taste, Perfect for Summer, Pleasing Roast, VERY good iced, Exceptional/Interesting Flavor, Pleasing Aroma, Attractive Mouthfeel/Body
Great flavor, but I'd honestly be happy with more. I think it could have a stronger roast. There is nothing bitter about this at all. All of my neighbors have Keurigs as well and we've all shared this roast. Now everyone orders it and we each give out two when we get it in. I think maybe the reviewer from Bakersfiled, CA may have gotten it confused with another cup. I personally found none of their claims to be true. Wonderful flavor with a wonderful scent. Friends can always tell when I'm drinking it. They can smell the coconut. PERFECT!
I've been on a hazelnut kick for awhile - Wolfgang Puck being my fave thus far, but this one actually surprised and may have risen above the Wolfgang...The hazelnut flavor itself is spot on and tastes great!! Perfect roast as well. Not normally a fan of Gloria Jeans coffees but this one is a winner. If GJ could only get rid of the blah aftertaste.... it seems ALL their coffees have that aftertaste --this one isn't near as bad tho..... Will purchase again :)
