106,600 | After trying most of the other brand decaf enjoy this Tullys and Donut House decaf more than others. Will repost comments after trying them all |
106,601 | This is sooo much better than anything you can buy at the grocery store or craft store. It has no flavor so that is a plus. This is really RED, and that's exactly what I was looking for. It really goes a long way. You don't have to use very much of it to get a great red color. I mostly use it to make red velvet cupcakes. They come out looking and tasting fantastic! |
106,602 | My 5 month old kitty just loves this food, eyes are clearer and bluer and coat is so soft. Kitty is noticeably more active, today it discovered it could open cabinets. It only has 40% protein, debating on buying more of this or try Core 80% protein. Cats in the wild eat mostly protein. |
106,603 | These were great . I loved the varity. This is the second time I have ordered these. I will order them again. |
106,604 | Got this for my friends husband who loves to grill, he said he loves it. |
106,605 | I have taken to stocking gum at my desk, but that can get expensive when you use the products at "normal" stores.
This tub lasts my office co-workers a long time and the gum is big enough where one piece usually suffices. Just like all gums in this genre, the flavor fades relatively quickly, but this is the most economical way to purchase them.
One last note, the product comes sealed around the rim of the bucket, but it also comes sealed across the opening on the inside - I liked that because it meant that the gum is fresh and not rock hard! |
106,606 | These noodles are the best. I have tried many other brands and these are the best. Everyone that has tried them says the same I highly recommend any noodle lover try these. |
106,607 | This traditional brand offers wonderful taste of cinnamon, refresh your breath and taste awesome. I think this flavour is the most delicious from all of altoids flavour. |
106,608 | I think this is one of the better commercially prepared chai teas. It has a good deal more spice than most blends, but it's not too overpowering. I love it with a little agave nectar and some almond milk. Yum!
Unlike some of the other reviewers, I didn't find this tea at all bitter. Perhaps they are squeezing the tea bags? This reviewer doesn't know... |
106,609 | I am very picky when it comes to things like pizza, pasta, salsa, anything with tomatoes. This sauce is my hands-down favorite when it comes to a a supermarket jarred sauce. Many moons ago I used to think the Classico brand sauces were good. It took me some taste development to realize they are the equivalent of eating at an Olive Garden. Having grown up on authentic home made Italian gravy, as they say, Victoria Marinara is smooth and rich and for a quick sauce it's a top choice. Not as expensive as Patsy's or Rao's, but blows the doors off of Bertolli, Classico and sauces of that caliber. You will be impressed. The Arrabiata is also pleasant. Highly recommended. |
106,610 | I have been using Splenda and only Splenda since it came out. In my opinion it's the best overall suger product other than suger. Thanks for your time. |
106,611 | So, I have never been moved to write a negative review for Amazon but felt forced to with this waste of money and time...Having been a person who has had vivid dreams in the past and keeps a daily dream journal, I was very excited to receive this herb after all that I have read. The first night, I filled 3 gel capsules with the tincture and went to bed and felt NO EFFECTS WHATSOEVER! If anything, I remembered less dreams than I usually do on any given night and had more disturbed sleep. I had read another review about this herb requiring more of it to perhaps experience lucid dreaming... Emboldened by the fact that I wasn't allergic to it, I measured out 20ml and this time drank an over the counter sleep drink that contained melatonin with it and went to bed after 45 minutes... Nothing. Again. Waking up in the middle of the night over and over again with no dream recall which is LESS than my day to day.
So, I figured that maybe it has a reverse tolerance...So the third night, I took 30ml on a mostly empty stomach...By now, the taste didn't bother me as I have been used to tinctures before and this is by far not the worst. I had noticed some muscle soreness the nights before and started to get some of this this night as well...Still, no dream recall; and this coming from someone who recalls a dream daily. Some sleep disturbance but not tired because of it...So much for third time's the charm...
I waited for a few days and figured one last go around; a fourth time...I had dreams that I recalled on the days without it in between the third time and the fourth time...I tried 30ml again and on mostly an empty stomach...Not only no dream recall but woke up earlier than I normally do...I don't feel overly tired from waking but certainly no dream recall, much less any lucid dreaming...
This may work for some folks, but at price over $30, with no return policy and the bottle more than half gone, I am disappointed thoroughly. BUYER BEWARE! |
106,612 | This simply the best instant cappuccino on the market today. It beats them all. Including the instant cappuccino you get at convince stores and resturants. |
106,613 | This is absolutely the bext product to come out in years! My kids drink 2 of these every day! However, they are 2.98 each at Walmart! This price is crazy! |
106,614 | I have been using this for a few months and love the way it works. The scent is nice and it goes on smooth. I bought to use on my face and started using it on my chest and back. I've noticed that my skin is more clear than it's ever been. |
106,615 | For those who are tempted to spend the $14 or so (per 7 oz jar) of this stuff, let me save you the money.
We bought a jar at Costco (same $$) because it just sounded soooooo yummy. And it IS tasty, but we don't think it worth the price.
Basically, it seems like you can make your own by frying some diced real bacon to a medium crisp --keep the melted fat. Then make a batch of caramelized onions (see the first part of Julia Child's French Onion Soup recipe) and add a spoon or two of brown sugar. Throw it all (fat, too) in a blender, add a splash of Balsamic vinegar, blend to a paste. That pretty much approximates the flavor of this product. You can doctor it as you like.
When we finish this jar, that'll be it. I'd rather spend the $$ on Umami Paste or something.
The cleaned, empty jar is a good size/shape for leftover paint. (Waste not. . .) |
106,616 | Alot of moms like me like this item because our babies have no constapation on it i love it very much. |
106,617 | This is a wonderful rice topping and it has all the same toppings normally used in "ochazukemono" -- a kind of rice porridge. Ochazukemono, to steal a line from Ratatouille, is a peasant dish. It is commonly eaten as a snack in Japanese homes. Ochazukemono is simply rice with dried salmon flakes and dried seaweed covered with a tea cup of green tea. While this dish is surprisingly simple, it remains one of my most enduring "souvenirs" from Japan. I love this furikake because I can sprinkle it over rice, add a tea cup of green tea and have a quick, nutritious and (I think) delicious snack. |
106,618 | I was not happy when I first opened the bag, it looked like all of the holiday leftovers thrown in. But I ended up enjoying them all and I plan to order the assortment again. |
106,619 | I was told about this product by our vet. I have one dog who is a picky eater and she likes this food. |
106,620 | I love this product...hard to find this flavor in the store and with amazon's great prices and fast delivery...i will keep on ordering...thank you amazon!! |
106,621 | I have a 14 year old shiba inu with arthritis in her back legs. My poor girl has trouble climbing the stairs and walking after she has been sleeping for a while. It has always been next to impossible to get pills into her. She hates peanut butter, picks pills out of cheese, and on and on. These Blue Buffalo "Jolly Joints" are a yummy and all natural way to get glucosamine and chondroitin into her diet. The only negative is $9.99 for 3.25 ounces is pricey. |
106,622 | Despite looking good "on paper," this granola isn't very nutritious. The recommended serving size (there must be some government regulation that pegs cereal servings at around 1 ounce) is only 1/4 cup! Who is going to sit down and have just 1/4 cup of cereal for breakfast? I'm thinking more like 3/4 cup. This will put you at 500 calories if you add a cup of (skim) milk. And most of the protein will be coming from the milk, since even three "servings" of this granola will only give you 6g. (See the pictures I uploaded for a closeup of the Nutrition Facts label and what one serving looks like.)
But if you do go and have yourself a 500-calorie bowl of cereal (570 if you're using whole milk), it's actually pretty filling. With 18g of sugar in a 3/4-cup triple serving, you're going to be feeling kind of guilty, but the triple serving would have 6g of fiber, so at least that will help slow down the sugar spike.
The taste is pretty good. It's kind of like you went for a hike with a chocolate bar and some trail mix and they melted together. Can't go wrong with that! With the notes of coconut, it kind of reminded me of German chocolate icing.
I didn't think I'd like the berries, but I do, and I actually wish the mix had more (and bigger pieces of them; these are minuscule). Watch out if you order online and the weather is hot. My bag arrived kind of melty (made me feel like I'd been hiking!), but I take that as a sign of the chocolate's quality.
If this weren't so carby (and expensive), I could happily sit down and eat it every morning. But it is, so I won't. |
106,623 | Having tried at least 1/2doz varieties of canned kippers my opinion favors JW & Apfel brands above the rest.......Paul S |
106,624 | Congratulations to the folks at Coconut Secret for offering an alternative to soy sauce, tamari and Bragg's. Those who are allergic to soy, like my husband, or just prefer to avoid soy will be thrilled to be able to enjoy sushi and other Asian dishes again. A little bit sweeter than the typical soy products and rather pricey, but the possibilities outweigh the downsides. |
106,625 | I was so excited to finally have olive juice without the olives. I can clear out the back of the fridge and all those dessicated olives. I had read wonderful reviews of Dirty Sue's and was pleased to see I could get it through Amazon and not pay the expensive shipping from the dirty sue website. So yippee, I went ahead and bought the 4 pack. Now I probably have three more bottles than I care to have.
Its not that its bad. Its just not what I've come accustomed to when adding olive juice to my martini from the Goya olive jar. The dirty sue is a subtler flavor and lacks the zest and salt of the juice from the jar.
If you're expecting it to be the same as what you've been having from your olives but without the olives, than think twice before ordering all 4 bottles. |
106,626 | The review before mine is absolutely undeserving.
They are orange tic tacs. They are white, but they taste of orange.
The picture should be updated, as the containers are orange now, but does it really MATTER that the tic tacs are not dyed orange? |
106,627 | Honestly, I'm not sure why so many folks like this coffee in their reviews. It's a little weak but mostly just doesn't have a rich flavor. It is really missing something. I drink coffee black. Maybe it tastes better with cream and sugar? Before buying this coffee, I had been drinking Starbuck's French Roast and Folger's Black Silk, both of which taste SO MUCH better than this coffee. |
106,628 | Really nasty stuff. Tastes like there are metal shavings in the bottle. I bought a case and dumped the whole thing. Avoid this at all costs... |
106,629 | This coconut flour has a really nice texture and taste. I find if I sift it into all recipes it is not so likely to clump, which is a problem with most coconut flour. The price is also competitive, especially if you get it on the buy and save schedule. |
106,630 | A little softer but the flavor is similar to the old Callard and Bowsers. Have been trying to find replacement since they quit making that wonderful product. This one fits the bill. |
106,631 | Been looking for a good pickled red hot polish sausage for quiet a while when I come across this brand. I read the reviews and everything indicated an excellent product. I pulled the trigger and ordered a couple jars. The price is reasonable, but the shipping was a little higher than what I would consider fair. However, my biggest complaint....there is no instructions on how to keep your hand out of the jar. These things are "TOTALLY AWESOME".Definitly a 5 star product. Just wish they could do something about the shipping cost. We will buy again ... even with the high cost of shipping AAA |
106,632 | This product is awful! Don't waste your time on the gimmick. Buy yourself a quality hot sauce. It tastes like bacon bits in bad cayenne sauce. |
106,633 | My vet recommended "pressed bone" chews for my dog, and these seem more economical than most dog chews. My 45lb dog will generally finish one of these bones in 2-3 sittings. She doesn't seem motivated to perform tricks for these bones, but when she's bored, she'll go to her crate, bring back a pressed bone, and chew.
I think the chews help keep her teeth clean, and my dog prefers pressed bone to shoes and furniture. The Cadet bones don't seem to be staining the carpet, either. The smell is neutral |
106,634 | I ordered this from Liquid nation and what I received was not as described. First of all I didn't receive all different K-cup as promised. I had recieved multiple duplicates in my package as well as 9 that had expired last year. I also received one K-cup that was clearly punctured in multiple locations on the top. I tried to contact the company of the poor quality of the item, but have yet to hear anything. Do not order!!
Correction: The company corrected the mistake, and replaced the faulty/expired K-cups. |
106,635 | I bought the Whirley-Pop Stovetop Popcorn Popper several months ago, which (of course) the Wabash Valley popcorn came recommended (same company). I thought...what the heck; I've always wondered how "gourmet" popcorn differed from Orville or other everyday popcorn brands.
Let me tell you...IT IS WORTH THE EXTRA MONEY! I can really taste the difference in quality. AND, "normal" popcorn just doesn't taste right when you make it in the Whirley-Pop.
This popcorn is so tender and tasty. It was a little weird to see and eat at first because it's about half the size of regular popcorn. But, I believe this characteristic is essential in helping the seasonings completely coat the corn.
My favorite prep methods include using the Whirley-Pop and Nutiva Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (see my review for that for more details!) I add a little peanut oil, sea salt, black pepper, and a good amount of Vegaline Garlic Mist Cooking & Seasoning Spray. YUMMY!!!!
I've tried the other Amish Country popcorn, and they're all good. This is my favorite, though! |
106,636 | The drink offers an incredible amount of boost, but unfortunately the taste is incredibly lacking. We recently had a strange heat wave in Chicago, so maybe en route to delivery the package became warm, and subsequently ruined some of the flavor in the drink? I'm not sure.
Still, the top of the lid says not to shake, so I did notice that more flavor swam into my mouth when the can was almost empty, so perhaps it needed to be shaken after all. Still, the taste at the end was not enough to justify me ever getting this again. |
106,637 | I've been using this cocoa powder very regularly for about 4 weeks now (I mix it with a denatured whey that I drink in the mornings), and I really, really like it.
First of all, it adds a great chocolate taste to my whey drink.
And secondly (and of equal import!), it doesn't make me break out.
All other chocolate that I consume makes me break out, so, of course, I can't eat/drink it very often.
Thanks heavens this isn't true about this Nestle Toll House Cocoa.
I can only hypothesize as to why this is true, and have two possible reasons:
1. It isn't Dutch-processed (hasn't been alkalized); or
2. It's a purer form of chocolate that doesn't have some of the additives that
are often added to chocolate.
Regardless of whether either of the above hypotheses are true, it simply doesn't make me break out (hooray!!!)!! |
106,638 | I don't mind most quick microwave meals. Aside from the price (I feel that it is affordable) this meal is terrible. It starts off as a bowl with powder flavoring and hard noodles. You peel back the lid and add hot water to the powder and hard noodles. After stirring the product, you are suppose to microwave it for 5 minutes.
Easy peasy and perfect for busy working moms.
The problem was with the flavor "powder". It is a birck. No amount of stirring, stabbing or soaking loosens it and so it turned into a chewy salty mass of gross. I will stick with my cup of noodles instead.
What a shame. |
106,639 | This is hands down my favorite taco seasoning! There are two versions, the regular and the spicy and I prefer the spicy. Quick, easy and tasty. I try to buy it locally but it's always sold out. Plus, you can't beat the price here. Highly recommended! |
106,640 | I have tried all the popular brands of cocoa powder around, and this is by far the best. It is a blend of regular and dutched cocoa(dutching is a process that removes some of the acidity of cocoa, giving it a more mellow flavor). It has the most agreeable true cocoa flavor of all the brands. It also has a very fluffy texture. It is a pity that it is sometimes hard to find. Strangely, even though I buy it at popular chain stores, I find some particular stores in the chain will carry it while others in the same chain will not. If you are lucky enough to find this, buy it! Of course, you can also purchase it online...hopefully.
Keep in mind that this is a low fat, very low calorie(it is not sweetened), healthy food that can be used to make some very healthy and fun foods! |
106,641 | So far this is the best Almond Butter I have tried. It is very creamy and smooth. My only gripe is that the Jars are so small, but at least you get 3. It is awesome on a wheat piece of toast topped with a cut banana. I will buy again. |
106,642 | Seeds were a LOT hotter than i expected - pleasantly surprised by that ! Most sunflower kernels have a few husks in the batch - i've found 3 in a pound, which is better than even Planters.
Definitely happy with my order and will be ordering again when this batch gets low !! Great taste and great seller ! |
106,643 | Great holder and a real space saver for my K-cups. I drink a lot of coffee so it's nice to be able to have this many to choose from at my fingertips. |
106,644 | My cats, plus my neighbors cat, love this stuff! We have catnip weekends,
and my neighbors cat gets to share some of this when I go over for a visit.
Nice and fresh, will order more! |
106,645 | Delicious ,crunchy granola that is loaded with pumpkin seeds and flax. Great mixed with yogurt and berries for a nutritious breakfast. Good buy . |
106,646 | Vinacafe Instant Coffee Mix 3 in 1 A tasty, somewhat exotic, instant coffee w/ just enough milk to take away the bite and just enough sugar to mitigate the bitterness. |
106,647 | Ordered this as a gift and was surprised by how small it was once it arrived. All of the items were flattened into the little basket, rather than standing up as shown in the product photo. The plastic wrap covering the package had a hole in it, which further decreased the attractiveness of the package. The recipient said that he enjoyed most of the snacks, and he seemed to like that they were unusual, offbeat things, but I don't think I would repeat this gift given the lack of value. |
106,648 | I have been eating spicy hot food for over 40 years. Ordered this sauce not knowing what to expect. Not real real hot but very flavorful. Have had it for a month now and am using it on EVERYTHING. will need to order more soon. |
106,649 | I absolutley LOVE Gevalia coffee and was SOOOOO happy to see that it is available on Amazon for a reasonable price! It's cheaper than in any local store. I am definitely a coffee connoisseur and find Gevalia to be the best coffee on the market. French roast has a very deep, bold taste so if you like a more mild flavor, try the Traditional roast... you won't be disappointed! |
106,650 | This is a very good KONA blend coffee and compares to others that cost twice as much or more!
I was using Kona blend from a small company - Thanksgiving coffee Co, Fort Bragg, CA., but their price (about $18/lb. + shipping)is quite
a bit more, and its sold in 12 ounce bags. This coffee is just as good. Plus as a Prime member the shipping is free............ |
106,651 | The meat was poor quality. It was very chewy--not tender at all--and many pieces were gristly, so we'd wind up having to spit wads out since no matter how much you chewed, they'd never break up. The taste was okay, but a bit too sweet for our liking. |
106,652 | This product arrived fast and is delicious! I was scared because I had read a review that said it arrived stale, but it is hard to find here so I took a chance. Yeah! I love these, and they are so low fat and they're good whole food. |
106,653 | This tastes great, there is so much flavor and the aroma is fantastic. It's quick & easy to make and satisfies a craving for the taste of pumpkin pie for those watching calories! :) It's not too spicy or overpowering but definitely not bland either. I plan to serve this one after Thanksgiving dinner with the extended family! :) I'm quite certain they will love it! |
106,654 | I drink mainly black tea, but there are some green and herbal teas I also enjoy for variety. Bigelow Orange and Spice herbal tea is one of my favorites--a really zippy treat. Right from the start, when I do my deep sniff test of the teabag after opening the foil pouch (my favorite moment with tea!), Orange and Spice provides a pleasing combination of citrus and spice aromas. They are only slightly reduced once the tea is steeped in the cup, so when you're drinking you get the wonderful flavor in your mouth and nose at the same time. It also has a great aftertaste.
Orange and Spice is a true herbal tea, and does not contain any actual black or green tea. The ingredients listed on the foil pouch are: rose hips, spices, hibiscus, orange peel, roasted chicory, and natural orange flavors. I think the orange peel and spices are the strongest flavors.
I always drink tea straight--no sugar, no honey, no lemon, no milk! So my reviews are my opinions of the straight tea flavor, not how it interacts with another agent. I drink Bigelow tea almost exclusively, because it's readily available, modestly priced, and has lots of varieties that are all of decent quality. If I give a Bigelow flavor less stars, it reflects only my taste preference, and is not a statement of low product quality. |
106,655 | I bought this because it seemed healthy, and I am an angel, or fine/thin pasta person.
Maybe I need more practice, but even cooked al-dente it seemed chewy and mushy. I'm sure it is a great product, but I guess I am used to a little gluten for bite. They make great little token gifts, since it is not readily available in this neck of the woods. I love my Thai thin rice noodles, and get my flax (or omega3) in other ways. But - hey, it was worth a try. Just my humble opinion. |
106,656 | I just tried Puroast French Roast to try and avoid heartburn. I found that I needed to be generous with the amount of grounds I put in the coffee scoop to get a rich cup, but the taste was surprisingly good and it will definitely wake you up. The acid content is definitely lower -- haven't suffered any heartburn after drinking it. |
106,657 | I love this coffee.Ive tried them all and I can describe this coffee in one phrase.
IT MAKES ME WANT TO FIX STUFF!!!!Its even better than an energy drink.Its my fav so far.Too strong for morning but I love it in the afternoon.It gives me wings! |
106,658 | Recently purchased- sprinkled over my ice cream tonight and went to heaven. If not so expense, I would purchase more |
106,659 | The taste is great, but all the berries were melted together making them relatively unenjoyable and hardly easy to eat. Sad. |
106,660 | The tea is good. Not that great. Has a spicy flavor to it. Not recommended for any one who is weak to caffeine because this tea is very strong. |
106,661 | Any instant isn't as good as the real thing, but for instant, Nongshim makes a decent group of instant noodles. This is probably the best kimchi instant noodles out there. Avoid Paldo; that is total garbage. Add an egg to this to really add some flavor, but be warned, it may make the soup a little bland. Add a tiny bit of kimchi juice to it, to spice it up.REMEMBER!!! do NOT overcook the noodles. It is disgusting if you overcook the noodles. The noodles cook in the hot broth anyway, so turn off stove early on, and don't add too much water of you will get bland soup. And don't let soup evaporate too much, or you will get salty soup. It's all about balance. :) good luck!
UPDATE: YUP, you gotta microwave it! otherwise, it's gross. I know, you smarties are probably laughing your donkeys off. :) I've revised it to 5 stars. It's pretty good. But let it cool off for 3 mins. you'll burn your mouth off, if you try it while 'hot'. soup is spot on. noodles are pretty decent! |
106,662 | This isn't a bad deal, but in Tampa & St Pete Florida, the store Rolling Oats has had these priced at $1.99/box for several months. I don't know what other health food stores charge around the country, but Rolling Oats price is a better deal. |
106,663 | I ordered several cases of this as a donation to The Cat House on the Kings in Parlier, California...a non-profit, donation run, no-kill, no cage cat and dog sanctuary that was recently featured on Nat Geo Wild. It's not cheap but I admire them for choosing the best quality cat food for their 700+ cats. |
106,664 | I have tried a lot of waffle mixes and when I want a basic "no wild flavor" waffle this is the one I always use. It is quick and easy to mix up and the taste and texture can't be beat in my opinion. It is moist and airy inside and crispy on the outside, with a delicious taste. Pour on your favorite syrup or fruit spread and enjoy. |
106,665 | All boxes were fresh. Typical Apple Jacks cereal. Doesn't really taste like apples. Sometimes you'll get clumps of sugar that are really hard.
Great if you want a sweet cereal. |
106,666 | I was quite pleased with the Clear shampoo and conditioner, finding that they did not weigh down my hair. My hair is thin, straight, prone to getting oily and I seem to be losing hair with age. So I was fearful when I first opened the intense scalp nourishing balm and tried putting it on dry hair. I first applied it to the hair, then noticed it was for the scalp so worked it in and brushed it through, then went to bed. There was little sign of actual grease the next morning but my hair did have a sheen that looked a bit greasy. It was presentable but not great.
The second time I used it was after shampooing and conditioning with the Clear products. In the shower I rubbed a small amount into my scalp, then blow-dried my hair. I have to report that it looks great, no greasy look or feel. It is important not to overdo the amount used since it is thick. The jar may last me for 6-8 months. It would have been better if they had actually told you how to use it- the product basically lacks instructions.
If you have thick, frizzy or curly hair I think the product would be better for you than for me, although I am pleased with it now that I have figured out how to use the product. The smell is quite mild and pleasant. The price is good for something that will last a long time. |
106,667 | These taste great. Our whole family enjoys these for on the go snacks or anytime snacks. We will definitely buy more from Amazon. |
106,668 | Ventresca Tuna is a very special experience. Hand cut filets from the belly of Mediteranean tuna, packed in olive oil, with a lovely texture, this tuna stands on its own - without mayonnaise. It makes a delicious Salade Nicoise or a lunch with crusty bread to sop up the olive oil and sliced tomato. Resist mayonnaise in favor of a few drops of lemon juice. |
106,669 | I must begin by saying I love flavored coffee. However, in my opinion, many flavored coffees tend to be terribly overpowering to the point where I typically brew my flavored coffee with a 50/50 mix of flavored coffee to regular coffee. Normally I brew my coffee with 1 tablespoon of ground coffee per 6 ounces of water and use 1 packet of sugar per cup.
I must admit that traditionally I am not a huge fan of Starbucks. While they put out an excellent quality product, I think their beans tend to be over roasted. However, I am the first to say it is still a decent cup of coffee. So when I had the opportunity to try the Starbucks Natural Fusions line, I jumped on the chance. When I received my bag of Starbucks Vanilla flavored coffee, I pulled out the coffee maker and brewed up a cup.
The bouquet of the coffee grounds was a bit unusual. There was a definite aroma of fine coffee beans, but there was an underlying odor that I can not place. The ground coffee did not have a distinct vanilla aroma that I could detect. The same was true with a brewed cup. While there was a distinctive coffee scent, I still could detect the mystery scent which still did not smell like vanilla to me.
The first sip resulted in an overpowering bitter flavor. Having spent significant time in the Caribbean and South America, I am no stranger to the strong brewed coffees that are prevalent in some countries I have been to. I am unsure of the source of the bitterness in the coffee (maybe the sarsaparilla root listed in the ingredients), but the bitter flavor was very significant. The bitter flavor did become less noticeable with the more coffee I drank. While I became accustomed to the bitterness, it never really went completely away.
I really did not detect any vanilla flavor in the coffee, even when used at full strength. In my opinion, the bitterness really detracts from any flavor of the coffee. I am sure some people might love this aspect of the coffee, but for me it did not work.
Overall, this did not seem to be a bad cup of coffee, but I just could not get past the overwhelming bitter flavor. I would recommend this blend to people who like an intense, bitter flavor to their coffee. If you prefer a milder cup of joe, then I would pass on this coffee. I think this will be a wonderful product for the right person; however, that person just is not me.

106,670 | It's a cool little basket, and the stuff inside looks great. The only problem I have is that I'm going to have to take it out of the wrap and make it look pretty. No biggie, really, but you should know that the stuff is crammed into the basket, and really doesn't look that great (presentation wise) I can't wait to give it as a gift though. |
106,671 | Unlike many vinegars, this one does not have the "sting" attached to the flavor. It has a deep full flavor with just enough sweetness. The only thing I want on my salads besides oil. Great drizzled on tomatoes. I haven't tried it on vanilla ice cream yet, but I like it so much I am going to. The only flavored vinegar you'll ever need to buy. Accept no substitutions. (I am not an employee of vincotto!) I seldom rave about any product, but this one is good. |
106,672 | I've got a dog who gets bored while I'm away and in a last ditch effort I thought I'd try this product to help her keep occupied during the day and I gotta say it did it. We've only been using the jug a couple days but it has made a world of difference. It seems to have taken her a while to figure it out, but I have completely switched her over to being fed from the jug while I'm gone and she's already a much happier pup. |
106,673 | I bought this based on other reviews, it was good, but not as spectacular as they suggested. |
106,674 | I was so excited when I saw that Apple Jacks was being offered at $1.76 a box and offered in a four pack. The size of the box was much larger than I thought it would be "stupid" of me not to take advantage of this offer. The local stores offer these at $4.00 a box and even thier sales do not save more than 30 cents or so.....GREAT DEAL...LOVED IT |
106,675 | Finally, flavored k cups with some body. Most other flavors are week, but Gloria Jeans Butter Toffee has a medium body and flavor. Always buy my k cups from Amazon. Quick service and great prices. THANKS! |
106,676 | My husband purchased these for me as a gift. He did not realize that there was more than one kind of candy by the same name. The other candies look the same, but are filled with a truffle-like filling with hazelnuts. These are great if you like chocolate covered cherries. However, be prepared for a kick in the pants. These are definitly not your oridnary chocalate covered cherries. They have a very potent alchaholic punch to them, if you don't mind that I suggest trying them. |
106,677 | I bought this with high expectations due to good reviews of the product. I like escargot but this one has a bitter pepper taste. The snail are huge as advertised. |
106,678 | I'm not sure why this is listed as 6-pk. It's sold as 12-pk. I assume the price is based on half of a case. |
106,679 | These are very tasty and I couldn't tell that they were sugar-free. However, the price is absurd. I found the same thing at the local large discount store for half what is being charged here, even before shipping is added. |
106,680 | This is a quick and easy instant soup mix that has some kick to it.
No, it's not Chinese restaurant-style, but more like a Ramen type broth with some veggies and tofu included. It's easy to make in the hotel room, or out backpacking. It hits the spot for me when I want something hot, spicy and speedy.
Not all hot and sour soups are equal, but this is an acceptable rendition. I think that I'll go buy more and include this soup in my quick meal repertoire. |
106,681 | Hope you have sharp teeth cause this jerky is tougher than your grandpas leather shoes. I broke a darn tooth eating this gator hide like jerky.
You get what you pay for with this product. I bought this jerky to save a couple bucks now I have to spend $1300 to get my darn tooth fix. |
106,682 | These dried mangoes are not great. 30 grams of sugar per serving and tough as shoe leather.
Unfortunately, I have four bags left and may throw them out.
My search begins anew for the perfect dried mango like you can buy in Thailand. |
106,683 | my dog loved the food but two days later my dog was very sick I got the on sale so I was afraid it was expired but it wasnt now a cheep dog food turned into a expensive vet visit I thought I was doing him a favor by buying healthier food but not for my dog |
106,684 | In 2006, I was assigned to a project in San Francisco. A co-worker/friend introduced me to a coconut pudding. I hate coconut but fell in love with this stuff.
I recently found some in World Market, but it is no longer a offered product. I searched on Amazon and found it. I am so happy I know where I can find when I want. |
106,685 | I love the flavor of this K-cup. I do however like a strong cup of coffee and I have to brew this cup on a lower cup size to make it a little bit stronger. I wish they made an extra bold version of this cup with a touch more coffee in it but it is one of my favorite flavored K-cups out right now. |
106,686 | this is good if you have groups of four people who will never see each other. i assumed that they would be 15 different designs. there are only four designs. I guess its not that bad but i feel a little disappointed |
106,687 | Ah granola, I am slowly beginning to develop a love-hate relationship with it. Love because it is very versatile and tasty. Hate because many times granola is promoted as a healthy food and I have discovered (many times) it is not. Therefore, I find myself on a pilgrimage to find the best tasting and most healthy granola out there.
This brings us to Nature's Path Love Crunch Granola. This product is a certified organic food with no trans fat and whole grains. Unfortunately the serving size betrays the calorie count. So while this product is made with healthy ingredients, the serving size betrays the portions. Which I find odd because this granola has chocolate and freeze dried raspberries in it. I have to tell you, I had to dig, no exaggeration for chocolate, excuse me Italian chocolate and raspberries. Again if there aren't chunks of chocolate (or even raspberries) how is this so high in calories?
As for the taste, I must confess that it is pleasant. Nevertheless, it isn't anything to become too excited over. I have tasted granola that is half the price that has tasted better. I have only eaten the granola by itself, I am sure in yogurt, over a salad or ice cream and as a cereal it might elevate the taste. I will eat this granola, but it will not be something I would attain again. Under the assumption a person is searching for organic and/or vegetarian granola, you might have found your match. I for one find organic products, in many cases, as a marketing ploy. As for finding a great tasting and healthy granola, it still hasn't happened. |
106,688 | Skippy Creamy is the best tasting of all the peanut butters on the market. My kids love Skippy Creamy! |
106,689 | these are so good! My girls and I ate the whole bag in a few minutes. The fruit flavor is awesome! |
106,690 | The grape fruit twists are, by far, my favorite flavor of the Twisted Fruit. I absolutely love this product! They were recommended to me by my mom who is a dietitian. Although they are made for children, I am absolutely obsessed with them at 27!!! Each rope is a full serving of fruit. They are really really good, too! |
106,691 | These corn flakes are truly the best I've ever eaten. They are crispy, stay that way for quite some time when served in milk, and are deeply satisfying insofar as flavor is concerned. To boot, and very important to me, they are gluten free. With some products, looking at the price-tag is a waste of time, I'd buy these anywhere, at any price. |
106,692 | This fudge was extremely creamy and had a smooth texture (no graininess). The monks clearly know how to make fudge so that the sugar does not crystalize as the fudge is cooling. Further the chocolate flavor was everything a chocoholic could ask for. I would definitely buy this fudge again!! |
106,693 | If you like salt & vinegar potato chips, you will LOVE these! They are good and tangy and you can still taste the potato, since they are just air-popped potato sticks. And there are tons in the bag. I think half the bag would have satisfied my salt craving! At only 110 calories, they make a great salty, low-cal snack. I will definitely keep buying these! |
106,694 | Israeli couscous is impossible to find here in our "urbanized rural" area. It's a product I have to look for when traveling out of the area. I had not heard of the whole wheat version until I decided to look for Israeli couscous on Amazon. This is terrific, tastes a little nutty rather than grainy, and cooks nicely in about 10 minutes (1 cup dry couscous to 2 cups water or broth). It's terrific for risotto-like dishes. The problem for me is the price, especially when you add shipping. You essentially get 3 scant cups. That said, I like it enough to pay it again if I can't find it elsewhere. |
106,695 | These are way too yellow for what Im used to. I have been using ge reveal incandescent bulbs up to this point and these things turned my kitchen a pale yellow. I ended up going with the reveal cfl 10 Watt. |
106,696 | I have become a big fan of hot tea since buying my Keurig a few months ago and since I've always loved Chai Lattes, I thought this would be great. It did not live up to expectations. While the aroma is wonderful (spicy, warm and sweet), the taste is watery and leaves an after taste like bad artificial sweetener. And it is heavy on the sweet. I tried a couple of cups and didn't finish either. I wish Keurig could come up with a latte K-Cup that tastes like Latte. I love all the coffees, teas and even the hot cider but anything that I've tried that should have had a creamy consistency like hot chocolate, white hot chocolate or this chai latte have all been watery and unpleasant. So, for now at least, I'm sticking to just the tea and adding my own milk or cream. |
106,697 | This is a robust dark roast coffee. My husband and I are coffee snobs and we love this coffee. It is so smooth and never bitter. |
106,698 | This stuff is where rotten peanut shells go to die. I don't even know how this passed taste tests or if it is even legal to sell. It doesn't taste like peanut butter, and after reading the ingredients I can see why. I'm so upset I passed up the natural peanut butter that was right next to the jar of this muck at the store. I'd much rather have a little bit of full carb/calorie PB than stomach another half teaspoon of this. Caveat emptor everyone. |
106,699 | Great gluten free licorice treats but must be eaten fresh otherwise they get stale fast. |
