Donut Flavored Coffee

This coffee smells like raspberry jam. The smell takes me to a summer breakfast table at my grandmother’s cottage with warm buttered toast, a container of fresh homemade jam, and a cup of hot coffee. I don’t even need to taste this coffee to know that I will drink it again. My coffee is Donut… Continue reading Donut Flavored Coffee

Sharp Taste

This morning I’m drinking Cookie Jar Double Chocolate Chunk Cookie flavoured coffee. It’s a rich darkness in my mug, but my nose doesn’t detect the notes of chocolate that I thought would be present. The taste is bitter black coffee with hints of mint. It’s not unpleasant but it isn’t what I was expecting. If… Continue reading Sharp Taste

Crave Coffee

My coffee today is flirting with a bitter-sweet smell. The sharpest notes are bitter with hints of cooked syrup underneath. The taste is smooth. Because the coffee is hot as it flows over my taste buds my brain thinks warm, creamy, and caramel. If that is actually the case or just a trick of the… Continue reading Crave Coffee

Another Cookie Jar Coffee flavour

My first impression of the scent filling the space is of warm peanut butter cookies fresh from the oven! That sweet and nutty cookie dough smell that is interlaced with the oily notes of peanut butter. The flavour palate is oily roasted peanut, mildly bitter with an almost vanilla fade out. Big thanks to Cookie… Continue reading Another Cookie Jar Coffee flavour

Coconut Cream Pie Flavoured Coffee

I love the smell of my coffee today. It fills the air with a sweet almost lime-lemon fragrance mixed with the bitter notes of coffee. I would expect this java to have an oily sheen, but it doesn’t. However, my first sip is reminiscent of oily coconut. Its flavour is both woodsy and roasted nut.… Continue reading Coconut Cream Pie Flavoured Coffee

Lacking sugar, whip cream, and Irish whisky

I have a Van Houtte Irish Cream and an Our Finest Irish Medley on my Keurig spinner. I decided to compare them this morning because I was curious to see what was similar and what was different. The Irish Medley’s bouquet is strong, filling the kitchen with the welcome notes of roasted coffee beans. My… Continue reading Lacking sugar, whip cream, and Irish whisky

A Cookie Jar Coffee

The bouquet of my morning java is soft and sweet making me anticipate a weak sip. This coffee is not weak though, it’s a lovely degree of bitterness. It travel across the tongue smoothly and it’s the after taste that is weak, but still welcome. I would enjoy this cup of coffee again, but I… Continue reading A Cookie Jar Coffee

What’s a razzleberry?

Without a doubt, no thought required, my coffee has the perfume of a raspberry. Curious, I peek into my mug. The liquid inside is a merlot colour with an oil sheen on the top. My taste buds scream bitter raspberry as my java slides over my tongue and down my throat. Even the aftertaste is… Continue reading What’s a razzleberry?

Another Slice

Happy Easter Weekend! A sweet fruity smelling coffee fills my mug this morning. It tastes bitter and earthy; it isn’t a complex flavour. It crosses my palate and has no aftertaste. Today I’m drinking Slice Pie Flavoured Coffee brand, blackberry pie flavour. If we were having coffee, I would share with you that my proofreading… Continue reading Another Slice
