To complete my three-parter review of Folgers Gourmet Selections, I had a cup of Vanilla Biscotti coffee over the past weekend.

After-taste:
Being an avid fan of vanilla, I was naturally psyched to try out this vanilla-accented coffee. We got the coffee beans ground into powder at the neighbourhood coffee shop. The moment we opened the bag of freshly ground coffee, the entire room filled with the sweet, delectable notes of vanilla. The aroma was that rich!
I’m not too crazy about the taste however. It was a rather light-bodied coffee, with the vanilla flavour somewhat overpowering the coffee taste. In fact, I could hardly even tell that it’s coffee!
Sorry Folgers, I guess the coffee-lover part of me won the battle. I like it strong and pure. Flavoured coffees are really not my thing, I realised. For aroma, the Vanilla Biscotti gets full marks. But when it comes to taste, this wouldn’t be something I am raring to try again.
