Gloria Jean's Butter Toffee

This morning's choice was Gloria Jean's Butter Toffee.

I am not usually a fan of flavored coffees.  This is one of the choices that came in my sample packs that came with the brewer I bought.  The aroma while brewing was very...flavored syrup heavy.  It completely masked the aroma of the coffee altogether.  When I tried this k-cup plain black, I had a bit of shock.  Wasn't this supposed to be flavored coffee?  It tasted more like...super bitter and gross.  I was hopeful from the name that this was going to be delicious...because c'mon.  Butter?  Toffee?  Yes and yes, please.  After adding half and half, it was a bit less harsh (I wouldn't use the word smooth), but it wasn't until I added sugar that it was drinkable.  I still don't enjoy the flavored syrup after-taste, though.  Blech.

The lowdown:


Flavor: 4.  I was not a fan.


Price: 8.  At $0.55 a cup, it's not a terrible price, but I like to shoot for a $0.50 and under range.


Overall rating: 6.  Not exactly my cup of...coffee?  lol  But if you enjoy a flavored coffee or don't mind cream and sugar, go for it.


Would I buy again?: If it came in a variety pack again, I would drink it, but not black.
