Review Of Daybreak By Caribou Coffee
Although I normally blog on dark roast coffee, in the interest of being fair, this time I decided to take on a lighter roast. Even I will break from my regimen of dark roast coffee to sample some of the other great coffees out there.
When I opened the bag, the aroma reminded me a lot of Gevalia Coffee.
The coffee beans are fairly light in color and have little oil on them.
My first taste of this lighter roast blend is impressive. The flavor is very much like a medium roast - more so than the light roast that it actually is. There is some great depth of flavor to this coffee. It has, as I assumed, a similar flavor to some of the Gevalia offerings.
It would be an excellent offering as a breakfast coffee. In addition it would work well as a midday coffee with a slice of cake or some chocolate.
As is typical of most light roasts, there is no excessive amount of bitterness. This coffee works out so well you don't need any sweetener for it.
As the coffee cools, I noticed some earthiness, and the level of bitterness did not increase.
This is definitely a great coffee to have around your house. It is especially good for those who do not like dark roast coffee and prefer a lighter roast.
On a scale of one to 10, I would rate this blend at about a 8.8 to a 9.3 - it definitely is a coffee worth having in your house.
I hope this review has helped you in your search for the perfect cup of coffee and as always, may your next cup be your best!
I definitely agree with the rating!!!
ReplyDeleteQuestion is, where do I get it??? Really having a hard time finding it in Texas:(
I don't know if they carry it in Texas, but I get my Caribou Coffee from my local Safeway. Hope this helps.
