When you purchase a Keurig Brewing System, more than likely your
purchase will come wth a 12 K Cup Variety sampler pack. Basically this
is the only reason I got hold of Caribou Coffee, Caribou Blend K Cups.
All in all it did not look like a coffee I would purchase, as I am more
into unique flavors or limited edition spiced flavors.
Seeing that it was pretty much free and thrown my way, I was not going to skip out on trying it.
While Brewing:
The Caribou Coffee, Caribou Blend K Cup smelled promising while it was
brewing in the Keurig, so I felt confident in thinking that my cup of
Joe would taste as divine as it had smelled.
I added my usual packet of sugar, and a dash of milk.
The Flavor:
Out of the 6 or so varieties I have tried thus far, Caribou Coffee,
Caribou Blend has got to be one of my least favorites in the entire
batch.
I brew my coffee on the Keurig using the standard 8 ounce mug size,
and usually my coffee comes out perfect, with a nice balance of flavor
and strength.
When it came to brewing an 8 ounce cup of Caribou Coffee, Caribou
Blend, the story was much different. The coffee has a very obvious
watery quality to it, followed by this ultra bitter, ultra bad
aftertaste.
The aftertaste is so bitter that using some of my flavored creamers
could not do this one justice. Instead you end up with a watery brew,
with flavor and a nasty bittery aftertaste that lingers regardless of
what you add.
Overall:
All in all, I was glad to have been given the freebie K Cup to try, at
least I know now what brand to avoid for future purchases.
Recommended?
No, not unless watery and bitter coffee is what you desire.
