I have mentioned this coffee in a couple of my blogs, so I thought that I would finally post an official review of it. First, let me say that I have had access to some of the best, fresh roasted, fresh-ground flavored coffees while working in a coffee shop several years ago, so I know good coffee. I never thought that I would find a coffee that rivaled this fresh-roasted coffee in a grocery store. In Wal-Mart, nonetheless. Nevertheless, I have finally found my holy-grail coffee that costs only $6 per 12-ounce bag. It is Seattle's Best Cinnamon. Let me tell you why I love this coffee so much:
First of all, I have always loved the flavor of cinnamon in my coffee. I used to add a sprinkle on top of traditional coffee grounds when I was using a drip coffee maker, but that only produced a slight cinnamon flavor. The cinnamon coffee that I loved at the coffee shop that I used to work for costs $14 a pound plus $5 shipping. That is $19 a pound for coffee and, with my coffee habit, is too much for me to spend on a regular basis.
I had tried several supermarket cinnamon flavored coffees, but none made the cut. I had a coupon for Seattle's Best and decided to try a bag on a whim. When I saw that they produced a cinnamon variety, I was sold. I had to try it. Best of all, this coffee uses Cinnabon brand cinnamon, which is said to be a very rare, expensive type of cinnamon. The grounds of this coffee are slightly finer than traditional drip coffee grind, even though it is packaged as drip coffee. This means that I can use a bit less coffee and still get a nice, strong cup. It is the perfect grind for my Aeropress.
It is the perfect cinnamon coffee and anyone who loves cinnamon will love it. Once I purchase a proper coffee grinder as I plan to do soon, I will try to locate it in whole bean form, although I cannot imagine what this coffee will taste like fresh-ground. It will be heaven and I am worried I will drink way too much of it! If you love cinnamon or just good coffee in general, this is the coffee for you.
