DER-FRANZ vanilla

This coffee smells like chocolate as soon as you open it, tastes like chocolate at first but with a coffee aftertaste and has a chocolately aroma when brewed. I don't understand how anybody can say they cannot smell or taste chocolate in this blend as it's almost more like a coffee flavoured hot cocoa. It has a recognisable chocolate smell although I can't put my finger on it, possibly Milka or something along those lines. I actually enjoyed the taste of this blend but wouldn't drink it 24/7 like a normal Arabica.

Initially there is some bitterness to this due to being a Viennese style coffee and 80% Arabia ,20% Robusta . I made coffee w it using filtered water and a 15 bar espresso machine. Finely ground so suitable for this, haven't had an issue w my machine. There is subtle hazelnut taste and smell ,package states 1.5% hazelnut added. Good everyday coffee for me ,don't see anything wrong w it. Doesn't taste like ashes just there is slightly more bitterness than w an Espresso Crema or other blend. Upstate : better results & taste with filer machine although too finely ground so some residue at the bottom of cup

Coffee was fine - just too strong for me which I appreciate is subjective. The smell and of the vanilla is nice but the strength of the coffee overpowers the vanilla taste for me. Others might like this :) It’s natural which is good and also a good price. But I think I’ll likely try other brands before reordering as it’s just not quite what I want. Also it’s finely ground which means I definitely get residue in my cup from the cafetière and it’s hard to make a second cup if I use the funnel as the coffee gets quite compressed.

Can't taste the vanilla! Smells of vanilla, doesn't taste much like anything but strong no 5 coffee with a dash of vanilla essence hardly perceptible when drinking. Wish I had read the reviews first and bought another brand.

It is a nice and smooth coffee but I can't taste any hazelnut flavour which was the main reason that I purchased it.

The taste was fine although not as nice as the beans you grind yourself. The aroma was very pleasant, especially when making a large pot, and it was reasonably smooth.

I bought this thinking it was whole beans, but it’s ground coffee. My machine can use ground coffee, so I tried it anyway. I didn’t really like the flavour and couldn’t taste much of the caramel. I ended up giving one pack away and discarding the rest.

Coffee isn’t my thing.. but apparently these are delicious, so much so that my husband has repurchased. He says they’re flavourful but not overpowering taste wise, the deal for 2 bags helped them be good value for money as a stocking filler present and I must admit they smell lovely (despite me not likely coffee)
