I have never been a coffee drinker, but I grew up on Postum, How does this compare to other grain beverages?

I have never been a postum drinker. but Dandy blend is not a substitute for coffee it is however a great tasting drink in my opinion. I use honey and almond milk with it you may also want to try teechino vanilla nut.

I have never tried other grain drinks. I started drinking Dandy Blend hoping it wouldn't cause heartburn like coffee. It tastes okay. I added cream and Splenda so it was better. I haven't found a great substitute for coffee yet.

the coffee isn't as hot as I'd like but the coffee tastes fine. I have a friend with an older Sunbeam coffee pot (I think) that makes extremely hot coffee. I wish I had hers!

There is a "major" taste difference to me. I've tried Coffee-Mate and it cannot compare to the flavor of ID. I've been using ID since they first came out with the different international flavors. I love the Irish Creme and my husband loves French Vanilla. FV recently reduced their price and I quickly jumped on it. I don't know why ID is cheaper than CM but I guarantee the flavor is richer! Try it you will love it.

Forrest, I'm retired Air Force, I got assigned to Holland in 1992 and was there till 1996. While there I fell in Love with Douwe Egbert coffee. I have been drinking it exclusively since 1992. I've had a Coffee machine that was a drip/thru that I've used the Ground Coffee with and it does still taste good, but not what I wanted. Then I bought a French Press and used it for the Ground Coffee, it gave the tasted I needed but was a chore. Then I found a Senseo Coffee machine that uses DE pods. Since 1996 when I got back to the States I've been thru 3 machines and by far it produces the best tasting Coffee that you could ever want. Plus it is way cheaper than Starbucks. These machines can use one Pod for the folks that like the taste but not the strong coffee and also can use 2 Pods for folks like me. I found all 3 of these machines in Thrift Stores. These are the only machines I will use and as long as I can afford the Pods (Inexpensive) and draw air. Take my advice and I assure you that it will surpass your expectations.

to me it tastes as bad as sugar in cold coffee....so I couldn't tell you. other than, I can taste the difference in most sugar items---they all have their own distinct flavor.

I didn't find it bitter and I don't usually drink black coffee. It is strong but smooth.

Using the finest grind, without adjusting the volumes I have tested 5 beans and here is my order of preference:1) Illy red cans (medium roast). Great aroma, perfect bitterness and acidity.2) Lavazza top class. More subtle and less acid than the other lavazza, great flavor.3) Lavazza gran Riserva. A bit more acid and less aroma than top class.4) Lavazza super crema. More on the acidic side. Medium aroma. A bit nutty.5) Lavazza Gold. Worst of the lot. No interest at all, bitter, lower aroma.Note: I only drink Espresso...

I drink Coffee when my tummy feels like an upside down rabbit hole. I like my coffee black with lots of cream. My coffee taste funny

You know! Good question. I'm not sure but I really enjoy this coffee. I have had super great coffee and this one is right up there on my list of coffee to recommend to people. Super smooth (not acidic) but losses a little flavor if you don't drink it in the fresh timeline.

Before I found this Italian Roast, I was a French Roast drinker. I prefer the Italian Roast. It's worth a try!

Happy coincidence, as I text this response, I'm drinking a cup of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee ($51/lb!) freshly ground in my Baratza. The coarse grind setting is perfect for my Bodum press. I couldn't be happier. BTW, works all the way to an almost powder fine grind for an espresso maker, also. You can't go wrong!

That's an incredibly broad question. Here's the manufacturer's product page: http://www.keurig.com/coffee/sumatran-reserve-extra-bold-coffee-k-cup-gmc. (Note that Amazon's price is much better than what you'd pay to buy directly from them.) As the name implies (and as the Keurig web site explicitly states,) this coffee USDA certified Organic and Fair Trade certified, if that is something you care about. Personally, just like it a lot. It's a very dark coffee. I happen to prefer South Pacific varieties (Sumatra, Java, Kona) over the more common Colombian varieties, but your taste may differ from mine.

Having read some of the same books as you, and being extremely sensitive to chemicals and toxins, I can only tell you that I've used this coffee and I've used bulletproof coffee and both have had no issues and very positive results. I know 3 other people who have tried the process using regular coffees and had significantly less positive results. So, there you go, that's what I know.

I think it tastes way better. It's sweeter and has more of a chocolate taste. I stopped drinking MM after I stumbled on optimum nutrition.

I haven't tried Rev... I like a dark, robust roast that tastes like COFFEE...not what I call "tea-water" tasteless coffee blends. However, I don't like the bitterness that most dark-roasted "name-brand" coffees have. Even though Jet Fuel is strong-bodied, it doesn't have that bitter after-taste that I find offensive. I'm not a big fan of bitter espresso, and Jet Fuel seems to satisfy my need for a cup of coffee that tastes like coffee and that gives me my needed dose of caffeine!

I buy both of them and alternate my use mainly due to the price fluctuation. I can say that they are both excellent choices. Especially if you drink espresso because that's when you can really tell how good the coffee is. In its bare true form. On the Lavazza website the Gran Crema is described as this: "Creamy and bold, its full body makes Gran Crema Espresso ideal for a cappuccino or latte. This blend is made of South American Arabicas and Southeast Asian Robusta beans, distinguished for their rich, intense flavor and velvety crema." Someone made this comment comparing the two: "Just tried the Gran Crema beans in an espresso show. And it's crema is as good as the Super Crema bean. It's taste is milder than the super, but still a full-bodied one. It coats the sides of my tongue and finished clean; it doesn't hang on the tongue. The Super Crema coats my tongue down the middle from the back to the tip and stays on my tongue for a second or two. But that's a good thing." You really can't go wrong with either one. I have to say, having a proper machine makes a huge difference in how you can extract the full flavor and Crema from your coffee. It's all about the pressure, isn't it? My German Miele coffee machine is amazing but I have had the same blend of Lavazza in Italy made by professional machines at coffee bars, and the taste is unparalleled! Having said that, you can brew any of these two blends in a good old Bialetti Moka Express, which is what the majority of citizens of Italy use, and it will be excellent still. I hope this helps.

The best thing I can say is "it tastes like a great coffee"! I am not sure why they mention the chocolate flavor... I was raised in Italy and lived there for 25+ years of my life, and then I moved to the US seven years ago for work. This is the best Italian coffee I could suggest, at least for its market segment (you can find some more pricey gourmet ones, and also the Italian brand "Illy" is great but way more expensive, at least in the US!). I always buy this one online from Amazon.
