Review: Classic taste and affodable! - My go-to instant coffee for busy mornings. It mixes easily, has a smooth, classic coffee taste, and gives a nice caffeine kick without being too strong. Convenient, affordable, and always consistent.
Review: G O O D.,,..T O.....T H E.....L A S T.....D R O P !!!!! - NOTE: THIS REVIEW IS FROM THE 8-oz SIZE BOTTLE OF THE SAME COFFEE, SOLD BY desertcart IN A CASE OF 2-OZ SIZES. BUT...IT'S THE SAME COFFEE!!!! "Good To The Last Drop!" has been Maxwell House Coffee's 'signature line' for a very long time. And, in the case of their regular instant coffee, it holds wonderfully true, even today! (Probably for all the rest of their coffees, as well!!!!) I truly feel for the author of the previous review. Maxwell House has changed the jar top (at least on the 8-ounce size). It is now YELLOW, and the top has "Easy-To-Open" printed in blue letterings. I don't know if they have done the same with the two-ounce size jar-top or not. But I do know -- after many years of drinking Maxwell House Instant Coffee....first with a red metal screw-on top (with a lovely 5-pointed white star printed on it), and then to the familiar red plastic screw-on top, (no star printed on it) -- that, despite the jar being somewhat easier to open, (it has been approved by the American Arthritis Foundation), that I sorely miss the beautiful red screw-on lids that I grew up with. (In fact, I KEPT the last one I was able to find....but, being plastic, it cracked and broke. So, now I must use the new, easier-to-open, yet somehow not-as-inviting yellow-with-blue-lettering jar top, if I want to buy and use Maxwell House Instant Coffee.) If the new, blue top, is on the 2 oz size as well, I hope that my mention of it can help both you, and your grandmother, to find Maxwell House Instant, if you wish to! The good news is that the Coffee inside is the same as ever! It is not the most "gourmet" of coffees.....but it does have a very nice flavour, if made correctly. (TO MAKE GOOD INSTANT COFFEE....OF ANY BRAND....THE NUMBER ONE RULE IS: BOIL THE WATER A LOT! You simply CANNOT over-boil water that you will later pour over instant coffee! The longer you boil the water, the better-tasting INSTANT coffee will be. One trick I learnt to make the water boil longer...yet save on gas and electricity...is this: Use a 2 or 3 quart SAUCEPAN to boil the water, NOT a tea-kettle. Then, first, put in just enough water to cover the bottom...plus an extra ounce or two. Put the heat on high, and wait until the water STARTS to boil. (With a glass pan, you can COVER the pan and make it boil even faster, thus saving even more gas or electricity.) When the water just STARTS TO BEGIN TO BOIL, put in a bit more water. When that water just starts to begin to boil, add more. And so on...until you fill the pot with the right amount of water. You have to be careful -- especially at the beginning -- NOT to let all the water boil out, or your pot will be ruined! But if done correctly, this not only saves power, (as the smaller amounts of water, naturally, take less power to boil), but also boils the water far more than if you just put all the water in at once! So, you get a better tasting cup of instant coffee....and also help preserve the planet, at the same time ! : ) (This method of boiling water is NOT recommended for tea, however. Tea needs water that has been boiled, yes...but boiled as LITTLE as possible. Indeed, I have read, (in "The Little Princesses", by Marion Crawford, which I have also reviewed for desertcart.com -- that Queen Mary, herself, used to wait until the water for HER tea had JUST started to boil, before using it for tea. (I guess this boiling water LESS for tea, can help save natural resources, too!) The main thing I want to say, of course, is that MAXWELL HOUSE INSTANT COFFEE has a wonderful flavour, especially if you make it with REALLY boiled water! It is the least-expensive of brand name instant coffees...and gives a nice, invitingly-flavoured cup of coffee! If you like, you can always mix it with other, more expensive instant, (or even regular) coffees....but it's great all by itself. If you want a great tasting cup of instant coffee, yet want to save money, and yet still again, NOT buy a "store brand" instant coffee, then MAXWELL HOUSE INSTANT COFFEE is for you! It is, and always has been, "Good To The Last Drop!" P.S.: I still yearn, however, to taste Maxwell House's more varied regular ground coffees in instant form. Please, Maxwell House...treat your instant-coffee customers to "1897" Coffee, and the other types of Maxwell House ground coffee, in instant form. I predict they will all be an "instant hit" with customers!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this $18 for one 25.6oz can of french roast? that's almost 3 times the price of w.mart, that's insane!**
A: This is regarding the Half-Caff product: My last order was $7.42 for this size canister - now it's at $22.00 - TOTALLY INSANE!!  We actually found it at our local supermarket for $8.00. I hope Amazon realizes this. Also, the other types of Maxwell House are all under $8.00 each but for some reason the Half-Caff is priced way too high. I think they are taking advantage of those people that cannot get out to do the grocery store and need to purchase on the internet.

**Q: House blend and original roast... anyone know the difference or have a preference?  more specific- what is the house blend?  they both are med roast.**
A: They're both really good, smooth coffees. I like mine with sugar, am out of the house blend so I can't try it with creamer but have recently tried original roast with creamer just for a change of pace and it's yummy. The house blend, if I can put it into words, has a bit more going on with the flavor, a bit more akin to the McCafe medium roast if you've ever had that. Original roast, while good to me and I have no problem drinking, is so smooth it doesn't have as much "bold" coffee flavor, which isn't necessarily a bad thing at all. Heck, it can even be preferred. They're both cheap enough to try them both out and see which you like better :) can't go wrong with either in my opinion

**Q: What does "100% pure coffee" mean? I guess when manufacturers write this on a package it means it's 100% robusta, especially considering the price.**
A: Pure coffee means no dyes no chemicals and the beans are grow in soil that is chemical free and water is pure in a climate that is good for coffee beans. Hope this helps

**Q: Which is it, mild or medium? Up top it states mild but in description it says medium!**
A: i would call it medium with a rich flavor, nice.
