It is a little known fact that French Vanilla is not a vanilla flavor at all, but a term used to describe the French method of making ice cream using egg yolks, cream, and vanilla pods. The unique flavor and aroma came to be called French Vanilla by perfume and specialty product companies, and has been in use ever since. Our French Vanilla flavored coffee captures these special qualities on our light roast blend of beans.

Also when making the coffee in my Bunn Velocity Brewer, I tried…
Bad smell and HORRIBLE aftertaste I got this because I love hazelnut coffee, I was hoping it would still taste good at the low price point but that was not the case at all. I brewed a pot of hot coffee freshly ground before work, the coffee had a very bitter taste with a sour chemical like flavor as an after taste. I got home cleaned the machine completely and brewed another batch with the same result. Tried to cold brew and it was even worse. Bottom line, this coffee ruined a few 12 hour shifts and this enough for me, wish I…
