This past week I have been on a flavored coffee kick, and have been
picking up every interesting flavored coffee I can find. Marshall's and
TJMaxx seem to deliver some of the best, and weirdest flavored coffee's I
have ever come across.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup, by Grande Kaffe, caught my eye immediately, and the scent that the bag was dispersing through the small included holes in the bag captured me.
Grande Kaffe, Grande Kaffe, Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Coffee, gave
off a very genuine Reese's Peanut Butter Cup fragrance, and that was
more than enough to convince me to buy it.
The Flavor:
Once home, I quickly began brewing up a small pot of my new flavored
coffee. The scent as it brews is simply fabulous, an awesome combination
of freshly brewed coffee, with a glorious mouth watering chocolate
peanut butter cup tinge in the air.
The taste is a little weak though in the peanut butter cup department.
The initial flavor is that of regular coffee, and a very small
aftertaste of chocolate peanut butter cup follows, but again, it is very
subtle, which is not a bad thing, I just was expecting a little bit
more of a kick in terms of flavor seeing that the brewed cup smelled so
strong of chocolate peanut butter cup.
Overall:
The coffee is not as strong as I would have preferred, but due to the
fact that it is still great coffee, I would definitely buy it again. It
is also much cheaper for this bag of coffee in comparison to other
competitor coffee brands, and the taste is just as delicious, if not
better.
I agree. Same for the Kcup version. I expected a strong flavor but it is not. Glad I saw your review. Vette
ReplyDeleteJust had a cup. I brew it stronger & add one Reese's miniature PB cup. Also used Vanilla Almond milk creamer. Frikkin' incredible.
ReplyDeleteI love Grande Kaffe's choc pb cup coffee and appreciate its relatively subtle taste. Sometimes flavored coffees taste artificial, but this does not. I love chocolate peanut butter cups so I instinctively wanted to buy this when I saw it at TJ Maxx. I briefly hesitated due to fears it would taste artificial. I am so glad I took the "risk."
