I'm finally finishing the bag of Grande Kaffe's Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup coffee. I've had it since late June -- we bought it on the Friday night that we went to Chipotle and I then to TJ Maxx. This was the start of my vaca from Sidley.
I regretted not buying it years back and am glad I did, as it basically puts the nail in the coffin for most gimmicky flavored varieties.
The Good:
It smells fantastic the entire time. It was very good with chocolate ice cream.
The Bad:
Its taste doesn't nearly match the aroma -- it lost flavor maybe a few days/cups in to it. Maybe 16 oz is too much and I didn't drink it fast enough. Or maybe it's just a good idea for one big special cup. That it lost its flavor so fast was disheartening (even if it increases heart rate).
Verdict:
Will only go with Cafe Du Monde, Cinnamon, Hazlenut, or Winter Blends if I'm going to go flavored. They took my favorite candy and were almost successful with synthesizing a coffee from it.
