Review Summary -
In this review the focus is on Caribou Coffee's Caribou Blend. The reviewer starts by introducing the brand, Caribou Coffee, which is relatively unknown to him but has been around since 1992. He appreciates the detailed packaging, with information on brew methods and grind sizes. Upon opening the bag, the reviewer describes the aroma as a mix of sweet, sugary notes and the unusual comparison of used motor oil. He also detects fudge and a bean-like aroma akin to chickpeas.
After brewing the coffee using an Aeropress and a French press, the reviewer delves into the taste experience. He describes the coffee as having a rich, nutty aroma with some raw cocoa powder notes. When tasting the coffee, the reviewer notes the absence of sweetness but likens the flavor to Little Debbie's fudge rounds without the sugar. There's an earthy, mineral quality to the coffee with a unique citrus bitterness reminiscent of grapefruit on the finish. Despite this, he finds the coffee to have a nice, big body, and it doesn't leave unwanted flavors in the mouth.
In summary, the reviewer gives Caribou Coffee's Caribou Blend a rating of around 6.5 out of 10. He finds it to be a pretty good coffee with distinct flavor characteristics, although it doesn't rank as his absolute favorite. The coffee is described as having a unique and somewhat complex profile, which may appeal to those who enjoy flavors like nuttiness, cocoa, and subtle citrus bitterness in their coffee.
