Best Combo of Chocolate and Coffee!
I had the opportunity taste this coffee in an early sampling. I’ve always found Gevalia coffees to be a quality product. More than once I’ve ordered it to get a free coffee maker and later had to cancel it because their pricing is a little rich for my blood. It is priced as an indulgence and it delivers the goods when it comes to taste. I am not normally a flavored coffee lover but I have to admit that Gevalia has found the perfect balance between rich chocolate and coffee flavor. It good drunk black, but add a little sweetener and cream, and the flavor is really enhanced in a positive way, delivering liquid version of a coffee flavored truffle. While I’d classify this as a dessert coffee, it would be great as a morning eye-opener as well.
Overall, this is a great addition to the line of quality coffees from Gevalia. Chocolate and coffee lovers will find a lot to savor in these three 8 oz. boxes.
Disappointing flavor
Gevalia is known as a great coffee, but I was a little disappointed with this particular blend/flavor. With a name like “dark chocolate truffle” I would expect to taste chocolate, but I didn’t. There is a smell of chocolate in the air when it is being made, but not enough actually in the coffee when drinking it. I guess I am a chocolate snob because I want something that says ‘chocolate’ to actally taste like chocolate, but this particulalr coffee just did not do it for me.
A bit disappointing
I normally like Gevalia coffees and with this flavor, the coffee portion itself is good. The chocolate portion is in itself a little bitter and the bitterness seems to get a little worse as an aftertaste. Gevalia unflavored coffees have always received a positive response from me, but i will stay away from their flavored coffees if this is any indication.
