Yum! Subtle Coconut Flavor

This was a great coffee! I don't like really strong, bold coffees and this was perfect. The coconut flavor was not strong, it was subtle which was appealing because intense coconut flavors can sometimes be overpowering.
I normally love coconut and this coffee does have a nice coconut flavor to it but it taste weak and watered down. I was so excited to see this coffee but sadly it did not meet my expectations. Those that don't like strong coffee may like something like this.
Pros: Pleasing Aroma
Cons: Not Enough Flavor, Thin Or Watery Mouthfeel/Body
My reviews are based on characteristics I find in each brew with or without additions. With Creamer/Sugar - Delicious. Absolutely delicious. I used standard non-flavored creamer with this and just a minor pinch of sugar, and I felt like I was on an island gateway. It seemed as though someone had spiked my coffee with coconut milk when I had my back turned. I was surprised to read other reviews from people stating that there was not enough coconut. Yes, with C/S the coconut is lost SLIGHTLY but not by much. Without Creamer/Sugar - I think this may be a new favorite for me. I'm pleased to say that I prefer this as a black than with the C/S. The smell nor the taste is dulled by the C/S, so you truly get the full experience of the coconut. You can almost taste what seems like vanilla, too. Just a wonderfully great sweetness. My only complaint is that the coffee FEELS thin in my mouth. It's a shame that it's only a seasonal flavor... Just means I'll have to stock up!
I ordered this coffee to get the double points and figured if I didn't like it, I could have it out for company, I tried it and Loved it. It is mine mine mine!!!! It's my favorite flavor now.
I decided to try this iced on a warm day after work one day, and it was so good. I used the smaller cup when brewing (2nd from left)and filled a tumbler with ice, added milk and sweetner and it was better than Dunkin Donuts!
Pros: Pleasing Aroma, Not Bitter, Exceptional/Interesting Flavor, Pleasing Roast
This smells soooooo good, and tastes good too. I add some vanilla creamer for an extra bit of flavor and sweetness. I'm going to have to order another box just to make sure I always have some hanging around.
