Yes, I'm going back to reviewing tea soon, but it was a rough day at work. You see, I work 2 jobs: One at Big Lots during weekdays and the other at Pitt during the weekends, which is great because the worst days at BL are during the weekends. People are cranky, think they're the center of the universe and all shop on the same day. I haven't had that many bad days at BL after not working weekends, but I guess everyone wanted to do their last minute shopping and dear god, it was a doosey. All I really want to do is have some of this fru-fru flavored coffee and relax (probably make a cup of tea later).
I was excited about this for three reasons. First, Coffee People is generally a good brand. If you look at the Keurig website and other venders, you'll notice that the Coffee People Donut Shop is usually at or near the top of the list. It's also a medium roast, which is a bit unique for a lot of flavored coffees because they tend to be light roasts. Last but certainly not least, it's coconut and chocolate! I mean, that sounds delicious, like a Mounds bar without the sugar.
Outside: It's your average K-cup, but it does have a pretty cool design on the lid. Sadly, this does not amaze me with its brewing smell, just a little bit of coconut but the coffee itself smells like coconut.
Insides: The coffee isn't the strongest in the flavor department, but is very smooth and slightly sweet. The coconut flavor is more in the smell than in the coffee, but that's actually pretty nice since it isn't overpowering. and the chocolate serves a a nice background flavor. It's not very bitter or acidic and tastes more like a cookie than coffee.
Overall: I think it's solid and a fun flavor to boot. The coffee's a bit light, but if you're just looking for something different or need a cool flavor to mix into your collection, check it out.
My Rating: Try it! Here's the website.
