Caribou Costa Rica Light Roast Coffee Review
VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: Hey welcome to coffee, coffee, coffee your place for average Joe coffee reviews, today’s coffee is from the rich coast, but does it have a rich taste? - So today we’re reviewing Caribou Coffee’s Costa Rica blend it is a light roast and it says it is supposed to be lively and balanced. So we have, or had high hopes for this bag. Because so far we’ve loved all the Caribou Coffee, like two, three different? - Yeah I can’t remember. - It’s just exceptionally good, it’s our favorite one - Is the medium roast. - the medium roast. Really good but, so this one so there’s not much they do have a 100% guarantee, enjoyment and freshness guarantee so if you’re not happy you can always get your money back. So– - and I’ll point out with the other one that we’ve done this is a light roast, they have another light roast called daybreak which we reviewed. - Yes and it was really good, that was what we used for our Halloween treat. Yeah and so this also is about $8 a bag generally speaking it’s you know a little bit on the higher end of pricing so we’ve found it to be worth it. - Well I say lets dig in. - Indeed. - And see what the rich coast has brought us this time, we have had other Costa Rican coffees before. - We have? - Yeah like 503 Costa Rica Teratsu. - Mhm it was really good. - So this smells like beans, we don’t typically like bean coffee. - Yeah and that was the first time we had this coffee, when I smelled it I just had a sense of dread because I was like oh no, it’s gonna be a coffee that I don’t really like. And– - yeah the first time I drank it I had just had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich because I’m seven. But I thought the same thing, it had a beanyness and it wasn’t very pleasant and I maintain that. - Okay I will say this of all the beany coffees we’ve had this is the most enjoyable one to me. Like it’s got a little bit of beanyness, it’s not too bad. But it’s not I would buy again simply because it’s just beany and I just have an aversion to the beanyness, but again shows that brand, I mean is important but you may find you don’t like one of their roasts but you do like you know certain other ones in the same brand. So know that. - Right, yeah, it was sad though we were hoping that we could say Caribou Coffee you can’t go wrong. Go pick it up and you’ll enjoy it but the Costa Rican one we pass on, I would think probably we’d have to give it two doughnuts out of five. - Yeah two. - Because it is, it’s not a one. - It’s not a one. - Not like no thank you. - For me I’d probably go two and a half. - Yeah maybe. - ‘cause I like to be precise. - But I’m gonna have to go with - Two? - Two, and a half doughnuts. - She just wants me to edit the doughnut so that I have to show a half a doughnut. So we’ll see what it looks like in the final product. - Doesn’t mean it’s a bad brand, just means you know for our taste, so we just don’t particularly like it. - This one just doesn’t fly. - Yeah sorry Caribou Coffee. - Yeah so if you’ve had this coffee or if you’d like to tell us in the comments what you thought about the coffee when you drank it or if you drink it after this review and you disagree, let us know. We wanna hear from ya and until next time. - Keep grindin. - [Man] Hey thanks for watching our reviews. Please be sure to subscribe and check out our other reviews here.

Caribou Coffee Mahogany Roast Review
VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: Hey, welcome to Coffee Coffee Coffee, your place for average Joe coffee reviews. This review smells of rich mahogany. - So today we’re reviewing Caribou Coffee’s mahogany roast, which is a dark roast, much like mahogany is a dark wood. And it’s supposed to be woodsy and rich. It just works out all around, although … - I wonder if it’s made of mahogany. - Yeah, I don’t think so, but I’ve never really heard woodsy, so … - Yeah. You know, we’ll see. - I’ve heard of a guy being woodsy. - Yeah, but as related to food, not so much. - Yeah, except for maybe that boy scout dinner. - Yeah. What? - Is that what it’s called? Hobo dinner. - Hobo dinner. - Same difference, boy scouts, hobos. - Yeah. Well, anyway, Caribou Coffee. Rainforest alliance certified 100%. They do have a 100% satisfaction guarantee. So. I love the bag. I know I said that on another one but I just love the way it feels. - Yeah, their bags have neat designs and and they’re … - And a nice touch. - Yeah, and you can’t see it, but on the bag, I don’t know if you can tell, but all those little lines, those lines are like on a map, so if you’re out hiking, adventuring, they’re topographical lines– - I didn’t know that. - And that’s what their whole thing is, is says they wanted to give their coffee so that you could leave their coffee shop and go and have it whether you’re camping, you’re hike-packing? - I don’t think that’s a thing. - Hitchhiking? - That’s even worse. - Well, it actually says, “hitchhiking across the country.” - Dangerous. - But that’s what that is, I just realized that those are the topographical map. - Didn’t realize that. - So neat. Never been to one of their coffee shops, I don’t even know if they’re around here. - Yeah, and so far we’ve really liked Caribou Coffee. There’s been one that we were not a fan of, but otherwise, really strong brand, so … - This was $8 for the bag, right? - Yeah, $8-ish for the bag, and we feel like it’s worth it. - So it’s one that even if it’s not on sale, I’m like, oh but it’s Caribou Coffee, so I’m gonna get it. - Might as well get it, yeah, except for now we buy a lot of coffees that are we don’t know. Until now, and you’ll know about mahogany. See what you think about it. I have Kayla’s mug. - Yeah, and I have my own mug. This is also mine. Well, I don’t know. It’s all community property. - That’s my mustache mug. - That’s my mustache mug. - I won it in a game of bingo … - You don’t have a mustache … - Several years ago at my sister’s house. I think. - I do. That’s true. It was at Thanksgiving. - Yeah, Thanksgiving. - No, wait. You didn’t win it. You won it and then somebody took it from you. - That’s right. - And then your sister-in-law gave it to you as a gift at Christmas. - That’s right, she was so sweet. Okay. Well. But the question is, is this coffee any good? - Mm-hmm. - It is good. Oh, so good. - It’s a good one. - Mm-hmm. It is rich, and I don’t know if I’d call it woodsy, but it’s rich. - Now, I know how I feel about the medium roast that is currently our favorite versus this one. How do you feel? - I think I still like the medium roast better, which surprises me because I tend to like a darker roast, but that medium roast is a nice little … - Yeah. - Yeah, rich, yeah. - I feel the same way. So that’s what I was thinking about with the rating of this one, we couldn’t give it the full five donuts because … - Four and a half. - Yeah, I guess it’s going to have to be four and a half donuts because it is really good. - Yeah, it’s really good. - But it’s not right up there at the very top. - Yeah, I really like it though. I had it this morning and again this morning for my first two cups, so it’s really good. - Yeah. Well, there you have it, four and a half donuts on the Caribou Mahogany. - Yep. How many roasts do they have, do we know? - When I look for pictures of the bags to put on the thumbnails here, I’ve seen a couple of others that we haven’t tried, but I don’t know in total how many. - Yeah, well, we’ll see. - Whenever we find them available, or we may just hit up their website, see what we can find. - All right. - Anything else on this one? - I don’t think so. - All right, well, until next time … - Keep grindin’. - [J.R.] Hey, thanks for watching our reviews.

Sam's Choice Kenya AA Coffee Review
VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: Hey, welcome to Coffee Coffee Coffee, your choice for Average Joe coffee reviews. Today’s coffee is Sam’s Choice. - Okay, so today we are reviewing Sam’s Choice Kenya AA 100% Arabica Coffee. It’s supposed to be a medium dark roast. It’s single-source. This is a 12-ounce bag, which, It’s kind’ve deceptively small. Cause’ see, this is like twice the size, what I mean is– - The bag is bigger than the amount of coffee. - Yes, sorry, that’s what I mean. So the bag, when I first saw this bag, I was like, oh that’s like a pound of coffee. No, it’s only 12 ounces, so it’s kind’ve deceptive. - Yeah it actually looks– it looks bigger than a pound. - Yeah, if you were to squish it down. - But, we’ve tried another Kenya AA, which was gourmet New York coffee, and it was great. We’ll link you to the video for you to watch there. - That was the chocolaty one, yep? - No, their Sumatra was the chocolaty one. - The Kenya was the peanuty one, oh, so good. - So this, I was at Walmart today, I don’t know why I did that. It’s Christmas season and I went to Walmart, but it was mostly older people, pharmaceutical area was full. I don’t know what they put the toothbrushes and the shaving things, and makeup, and all that, all in one place, because– - Categorically, it makes sense. - everybody needs those items, - Right. - so then everybody’s congregated into that one section, - Yeah, human fellowship. - It’s terrible, no, human bumpership cause’ we always hit each other with your carts. But anyway, so I was at Walmart, and I saw that and I thought, hey, gonna try it. - Yeah, single source from Mount Kenya, which is in Kenya, in Africa. It’s a long-extinct volcano, didn’t know if you knew that or not. - No. - This particular one is called the “Connoisseurs Cup,” that’s what they’re saying that it will be when you make a cup of coffee. - We are not connoisseurs. - We are not, so the largest beans are grated AA. Hence, Kenya AA. - Interesting, we didn’t know that for the last thing. - Yeah, and so it’s supposed to have some wine-like acidity. We like wine, so, and it’s supposed to be perfectly tempered by sweet berry flavors. Which reminds me of the Ethiopian coffee has like a blueberry flavor, so, we’ll see. I mean, it was $5.99, right? For a 12-ounce bag, so, on the cheaper end. Not the cheapest. - About average or a little below average, maybe. - Mm Hmm, so we shall see. - It does have a little beany smell, I think. - Yeah, maybe. - Maybe, if I smell longer it might, actually, kind’ve smell like fruit. Maybe not, if I wish. Well, no. - There is um– ugh, uh-uh, no, no, Nope, that’s enough coffee for me. Definitely beaniness, I wonder, though, we keep calling it beaniness, what if it’s a berry flavor that we keep– But no, cause’ the berry is something we did taste in the Ethiopian, and it was really good. Was that Sweetwater? - Yeah. - Sweetwater had the Ethiopian Coffee and it was very good. It did have that berry hint. - I’m trying to, it’s like– - For science, I’m doing this. - Mhm, so we can really give you the flavor that we’re tasting anyway. I can’t figure it out. - Yeah, it’s a… - It’s like it starts kind’ve cardboard-ish, but then, after it goes down, that’s gone. So, I don’t know what– - Yeah, it’s like, when it first hits me, it’s like, oh that’s not very good, and then it’s like, for a second I’m like oh, well maybe it’s not so bad, and then it’s like, oh no that’s not good. - Yeah, it has like an intermediate, interm, inter, inter, inter - Intermediate? - Intermediate flavor, it’s got three different ones. - Yeah and so it starts bad - The second ones like, wait, okay maybe that’s– And then the third one tells you not to drink any more of it. - It finishes, not nicely. And, there’s a bug in my cup, so, I’m definitely done. - Perfect fitting and– - So, I’m done. - So, if you’re at Walmart and you’re thinking, hey, this looks interesting because its, different, it says Kenya, Kenya AA, looks kinda like they did extra work to make it nice and good. - Also, handy feature, this ziplock bag. - I will say, that’s great. So many of the companies they put that little black strip on there, and it falls off. - Yeah, and it doesn’t seal, you know? You’ve got little squishy thing, like where it pushes all the air out, cause’ the little hole, but then you all these big gaps - And then the vacuum sucks it back up. So, other companies take note: this, now maybe Walmart can afford to do that, and put out the bad coffee, but this a nice little feature here. - Yeah. - If I were to give it a donut rating, what would we say, like on a scale of one to five? - Um, one and a half? - Yeah, yes, one and a half. She keeps trying to force these halves on me, so, we’re gonna concede and say one and a half because it wasn’t as bad as the one-donut ratings we’ve had, and it wasn’t as good as the two, so, we’ll have to say one and a half on that. - One and a half. - Let us know if you try it or something like that. - Or if you’ve tried other Sam’s Choice’s. - Yeah, cause’ there were four or five of them there that I’m sure we’ll try. - I’m sure we will. We try all the coffees. - We do it for you. - Yes we do. - So, let us know in the comments if you try it or if you’d like us to try something else, right? - Yep. - Anything else? - Nope. - Alright, until next time. - Keep grindin’. - [J.R.] Hey, thanks for watching our reviews.

Starbucks Morning Joe Coffee Review
VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: Hey welcome to Coffee, Coffee, Coffee, your place for average Joe coffee reviews. And today it’s time for your morning Joe! So here with another Starbucks coffee review - Yeah, we’re on a roll. - Call me butter, ‘cause I’m on a roll. - Okay. So, we are doing Starbucks Morning Joe which is supposed to be stout and refined. - Like Guinness beer. - Yeah. And it’s a dark roast. It is formerly known as Starbucks Gold Coast Blend. They named it after a Chicago neighborhood but then they changed the name. - Yeah, they don’t care too much. - Yeah. So, it’s a 12 ounce bag, 100% Arabica coffee. The beans come from several different places though, Indonesia, Latin America, and it’s got some of their dark Italian roast in it too so, which– - Wherever those beans came from. - Yeah, that’s not from Italy but that would be their Italian roast is in there. So, it’s a lot of different ones to kind of blend together to be this roast. So, it’s supposed to be like, you know some people like a more subtle flavor in the morning, but this is supposed to be more of a stout, like if you like flavor in your coffee. - Punch you. - Yeah, you really need a punch in the face in the morning, This is the coffee for you. So, yeah, so the dark roast which I tend to like. - That’s true, we haven’t had this yet. - No, we haven’t - We’re gonna try it here for the first time live on YouTube. It’s not live. - It’s not live. It’s pre-recorded. - Unless you’re in our dining room right now with us. - Yeah, but you’re not. - So. - Right before I wanted to– - Over the lips. - I don’t know. I always love the smell of Starbucks coffee even when I don’t particularly like the roast, I do like the smell. It’s got a good, strong smell. Okay, let’s try this. I gotta say, I like this. - There was a thing that it said on there, that called it syrupy. - Oh yeah, it did say syrupy, I forget to read that. - And when I read that, I’m like, if I want syrup in the morning it’s not in my coffee. - It’s on my pancakes. - Unless it’s the kind of syrup that they talked about on Elf. - Oh goodness. Yeah, so, I like this. I really like it. It’s well, it’s stout but it’s not bitter. It’s rich. I like it. - Yeah, when I read this description I said, I’m not gonna like this. - Yeah, yeah. I don’t want a thick, syrupy– - Yeah. - Coffee. - Yeah, when I saw syrupy I was like, syrupy. I mean like, I don’t want that. - But actually you know, and I’ll see of course, as I get further down the the cup but. - Yeah, it’s good. - I’m learning that now I like, I can pretty much tell when I first start to drink it if I’m gonna like it or not and it’s good. - Yeah I really it’s, yeah, it’s just a good balance of flavors. There’s nothing, I mean, it’s just enjoyable cup to me, I’m already like half way through this huge mug. - Madame. - Big lips. - Yeah. - Yeah, I’m surprised. - Yeah, I am too. When I read the bag I really didn’t think we’d like it but it is good stuff. Highly recommend. How many, well actually let’s talk about price. Again– - She bought it. - I bought it on sale at Publix for like 6.99 a bag. I think. But normally it’s like eight to nine dollars a bag. It kind of depends on where you get it. You can get deals other places but yeah, so, it’s a higher price point but I think it’s worth it. - Yeah. So, out of five doughnuts, I would give it– - Maybe a four. - A four. A strong four. Maybe four and a half. - No. Four. - Okay. - Four. - Okay. - With these half things. Four and a quarter doughnut. - I’m just more precise, that’s all. - One thing we will check and see what kind of rewards we got on our thing. Can you peel it off? Is that how that works? - I don’t think it’s like a, a scratch off game. - No I know. - I think it’s just like they give you points. - What does it say, inside? - Inside, it’s like. - Inside, oh. - There we go. - Maybe it’s inside the bag. - Yeah, it doesn’t tell you. You have to put it in online but, I do have the app. - You remember the days when cereal boxes had the toy in it? - Yes. - You open it up and you’d dig your hand through all the cereal and you get out the prize. - Yeah, they should do that with coffee. - I know, you dig your hand through all the grounds. - Yeah, maybe coffee is prize enough though. That’s what they think. - That’s true. - So, one thing we’ve definitely found out doing these reviews and everything is that, brands, sometimes you have like a good solid brand that’s like, you just like everything. It’s a good high quality coffee, you kind of like everything that they’ve done but, sometimes there’s just one, one, you know, roast that you don’t really like and it’s not that the brand is bad, it’s just that, in case you’ve tried Starbucks coffee in the past, and you’re like, I don’t like it. It might just be that you didn’t like the roast. So many times we found, like, well we really love that roast but we didn’t like that one. - Yeah and that was one of the reasons why we started this channel, is so that we could remember what we tried and what we liked, and didn’t like, and why we liked it, and all that kind of stuff. - Right. - So hopefully that’s helpful to you too, to be able to say, yeah, I get now why I like that and this, and that. Or, you can just keep track of it on our website. - Right, yeah, yeah. - So, if it’s helpful to you, let us know. If not, let us know, and if you’ve tried this coffee before and you like it, didn’t like it, put it in the comments below. Get a conversation going about it. - Yeah, we like to see a consensus, is it good? ‘Cause everybody has an opinion but if we can see kind of the overarching everybody likes it or, not as many people do, we’d love to know. - Yeah, alright well, thanks for joining us and until next time. - Keep grinding! - [Narrator] Hey, thanks for watching our reviews.

Starbucks Sumatra Coffee Review
VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: - Hey! Welcome to Coffee Coffee Coffee. Your place for average Joe coffee reviews. Today’s coffee is of single origin, unlike myself. - - So what is today’s wonderful, or not wonderful, coffee? - Right, it is Starbucks’ Sumatra single origin dark roast coffee. It’s 100% Arabica beans, ground, obviously, and it’s supposed to be earthy and herbal. So, again this is one of those conservation, international blends, ethical sourced coffee. Ethically sourced coffee. There we go. Yeah, so it’s dark roast, full bodied, yeah. - There’s a tiger on the- - There is. I do like their packaging. It’s nice. - Yes. - But you pay a price for the packaging. - That’s right. - It is got, like, a whole, you know where Sumatra is? - It is in Indonesia. - It is. The western island of Indonesia. A western island of Indonesia. - Mm hmm. - So, yeah, so, the question is is it good coffee? Because it’s, you know, Sumatra, sorry, Starbucks is really a more expensive brand. - Mm hmm. - Generally, like, nine dollars per bag. - Right. - Sometimes it’s less, depending if you get it on sale, but it’s a more premium coffee. - Yes. - Yeah. - So we’ll find out. - And we did have Sumatra blend, right, with New York Gourmet Coffee. - Yes. That review is also one we’ve done, and that coffee was fantastic. - It was so good, oh my gosh. So good. - So- - So we have high hopes for this one. - Talkin’ ‘bout high cotton. That’s a different song. What is high cotton? - It’s when the cotton’s ready to be harvested. - It’s not cotton from the low country? - No. - I don’t know. - What does that even mean? - Low country, low country boil. - Yeah, that’s, like, Louisiana and stuff, right? South Carolina? - Louisiana. - Yeah, no, South Carolina, like, low country boil. I guess it’s all- - That’s Louisiana. - Oh. Oh well, it doesn’t really matter. - Smells like coffee. Oh that- - Yeah, okay, so on the bag it does say that you should have, it should have a smooth mouth feel, it’s full bodied, there are lingering flavors of dried herbs and fresh earth, and almost no acidity. - Lingering flavors of dried herbs and fresh earth. - And- - What is fresh earth? - I’ve never tasted fresh earth. It’s not, I think that’s a medical condition. Pica, or something like that, but, what, I think that’s right. - I don’t even know how to spell it. - It’s, like, a thing you have to watch out for when you’re pregnant. Some women, so I read about it a long time ago when I was pregnant with probably the first kid. Anyway, so- - When she read about all the terrible things that can happen. - Yeah, I did. Yeah. But the question is do you like it? I’m gonna go first, though. I don’t like it. - The coffee, it’s staining my mug. It’s super- - It’s thick, right? - Yeah, like, what coffee stains your mug? This does. - Yeah, it’s, I don’t like the dried herb taste. That’s the thing. It’s like that herbal, I guess, herbal taste is just not my favorite. It’s kinda like, mmm no. It’s not coffee- tasting to me. It’s herb-y. - It’s interesting that the New York Gourmet Coffee’s Sumatra- - Uh huh, totally different than this. - Yeah, which, I mean all it is is that’s where they got the beans from. They roasted it in a different way. - Right, yeah. - And so theirs had a chocolate-y thing, I believe. And it was really good. And this- - Is not. - Is not. - Yeah, yeah. We were kind of excited when we found this in the store. It’s when we still had the New York Sumatra. It was like, “Ooh! That should be like the same thing.” And it’s not the same thing, so, it’s different. - Yeah, so, you know we’ve done some other Starbucks reviews, and they can be hit or miss. - Yeah, hit or miss, I would say so far. - It just depends on your palette. - This one, yeah, would we buy it again? I’d pass on it. How many donuts out of five? - Two. - Two. That’s be two and a half. I feel like, it’s like, I mean if somebody served us this, you know, I wouldn’t be like, “Oh! Get it out of my face.” I wouldn’t do that even if it was horrible coffee, but- - Yeah, so I guess two and a half- - Yeah. - Is what we’ll go with. - Yeah. Yeah, two and a half. - All right. - I’m feeling generous. - Yeah. Want anything else to add on it? - I don’t think so. - All right, well thanks for joining us again on another episode review of coffee on Coffee Coffee Coffee. If you have any other things about different coffees that you’ve tried and you’d like us try it, send us a little note either, wherever you’re watching this, and we’ll see if we can check it out. - Yeah, and if you’ve tried this coffee leave it in the comments below, like, how many out of five would you give it. - That’s right, how many donuts out of five.

Dunkin Donuts White Chocolate Peppermint Coffee Review
VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: Hey, welcome to Coffee Coffee Coffee, your place for Average Joe coffee reviews. It’s Jingle Bell time! So today’s coffee is a limited edition. - That’s right. It is Dunkin Donuts White Chocolate Peppermint, artificially flavored, ground coffee. - I like white chocolate. - Do you? I don’t really like white chocolate, I do like peppermint though. - White chocolate pretzels? - Well no, though it is really good, so yeah. But in general, if something’s white chocolate I’m not gonna go for it. - Yeah. - ‘Cause it’s not really chocolate, by the way. - Mm-hmm. - Somethin’, there’s a technicality there. - Yeah. I felt like I just made that face, like that one meme where the girl’s real happy. - Uh-huh, well, yep. - So, what’d you find out about the coffee? - So, it is artificially flavored, like most flavored coffees. - They don’t melt down real peppermint sticks? - No they do not, yeah. It does say that it has some natural flavor, so maybe the peppermint is. - What I envision is a bunch of elves with big peppermint sticks over boiling cauldrons of coffee. - Yes, I’m sure that’s what they do except they probably don’t have real– ♪ We represent the peppermint stick ♪ - No, I don’t– - Is that copyright infringement? - Probably, we’ll probably get in trouble on YouTube, but. Yeah, so Dunkin Donuts, we’ve had a lot of different Dunkin Donuts that we have– - Dunkees. - Dunkees! Yeah, that we’ve reviewed. - At least two or three I understand. - Yeah at least three others I think. We’re not big on artificially flavored stuff, but it is that time of year for Christmasy type things, and our friend Jessica gave us the bag because she didn’t like this coffee. So she didn’t like it, we’ll see if we like it. I have had a sip or two but– - I haven’t yet had any. - Yeah, the flavored coffees, we don’t give it several days ‘cause we just really don’t like flavored coffee, but we’ll see if this changes our mind. - Alright. - Maybe it will. - Well let’s dive into it. - Mm-hmm, yep. - See how we can help those little munchkins. - The smell, I wanted to smell of the grounds, right? - What’s funny is that it smells like a flavored French vanilla. - Oh no, it smells pepperminty. - No, here. - Wait, in the coffee cup? - This smells to me the same as the Dollar Tree French vanilla. - I think I’m being taken– - Oh wait, no, no, no. - Well, I think the bag– - I do smell it the little bit, - I think it was the bag. - of peppermint there. Yeah. - Okay. - I don’t know, but– - Well sniff that. - That definitely smell like a– - Yeah, whoo! It’ll knock you over. - A putrid peppermint stick. - No, just a very strong pepperminty– - Yeah, like a wet one though. - What does that mean? - Not like the peppermint stick that you just take out of the package, ‘cause that has a different smell. Once youput some saliva on it, changes the scent. - You’re weird, okay. But is it good? - Like a fine cigar. - No, I don’t think so. - Okay. - You asked the question, “Is it good?” - Mm-hmm. - No. - Yeah, the thing is– - It’s kinda mediciny. - It is mediciny. That’s exactly what I was gonna say. It’s like a, yeah. - It reminds me of when I have to take a liquid like Tylenol or something like that. - Yeah, it’s not pleasant. I don’t know, it’s not even– - It’s medicine. - Yeah, it’s like, I don’t get white chocolate at all. - No. - I mean, that’s kinda hard though ‘cause white chocolate is just basically really, really sweet. It’s not sweet, and so maybe you would get that if you put sugar in it, but, yeah, medicinal. - Yeah, like the other day I took some ibuprofen that was liquidy, and that’s the flavor. - Yeah. When I took a sip off camera just ‘cause I kind of wanted to prepare, like what would this really taste like and on the very first sip it was like, “Oh that’s okay,” and then the aftertaste was, “Oh, yeah, medicine,” yeah. - Yep. - Yeah. - That’s it. - Yeah, so we’ll give this - This is medicine coffee. - a zero or a one. - One, well, okay. We’ll say it gets a one donut out of five, because it’s coffee. - Yeah, it is coffee. - And if you want some coffee and some caffeine it’s there. - Mm-hmm, yeah. - If it’s the only bag you got and you’re in a cabin in the woods, and the nuclear holocaust has happened. Something like that. - That’s pretty extreme, but yeah. - Right, and it’s your only coffee. You gotta drink it, so then that means it gets, - One. - at least a one. - One donut, yeah, yeah. I think zero donuts would be like you can’t even stomach it. - Yeah. - You can’t even drink it down, which may be some– - The Publix. - Certain instant coffees maybe would be like that. Oh, Publix. - The Publix coffee probably. - Yeah. - But yeah, so, we’re gonna pass on ever buying this in the future. We didn’t buy it this time as we said. - Yeah. - But– - Dunkin Donuts though, does tend to be a little bit more on the expensive side, about what, $8 a bag, so. - Yeah. - And this is only an 11 ounce bag, so. - Yeah. - Not your normal 12 ounce deal. - So pass on that and don’t ever buy it. If you see it in the store don’t get it. Pick somethin’ else. - Unless you like medicine. - That’s right, yeah. Alright, anything else to add about this coffee? - I think that’s all for me. - Well thanks for joining us, and until next time. - Keep grindin’. - Hey, thanks for watchin’ our reviews.
