- Coffee and Chicory Blend 16 Ounce, Medium Dark Roast Ground Coffee, Vacuum Packed 16 Ounce Bag (Pack of 1)

Coffee has robust but not bitter taste for decaf. I cannot find the decaf in my small town, so Amazon is excellent choice

We brought this coffee home on our first trip to New Orleans, and have been ordering it online ever since. It is the quintessential taste of NOLA, a flavor that you can only find there(unless you buy Community Coffee). There are other brands, but this is the best, even better than Cafe' Du Monde ! Here's the reason it tastes so amazing: there's Chicory root ground in with the coffee. You cannot buy this as beans to grind at home(I tried, believe me), because it's made this way. The Chicory root gives it a hint of chocolate-y-ness (I know that's not a word), *without* tasting like flavored coffee, which I don't drink. Here's the secret to a perfect pot: Use whatever ground coffee you usually do, preferably ground at home. Replace the last scoop with a scoop of this coffee, and you will love the results (so, for an 8-cup pot, I use 3 scoops my coffee, 1 scoop Community Coffee). My own personal blend: grind 1/2 a bag of good french roast beans, 3/4 bag of original Dunkin' Donuts or some mild "breakfast blend" beans. Mix together well, and use that as your base to add the 1 scoop of CC each time you make a pot. I also use a quick shake of ground cinnamon over the filter before brewing, helps to take any residual bitterness out. IMPORTANT!!!!! You can buy Community Coffee with and without the Chicory. Be sure to read the label and get the "Chicory and Coffee" type, or all of my glorious advice above will be wasted, and you will be disappointed. We don't want that, do we? EXCELLENT Chicory coffee, EXCELLENT seller, FAST delivery every time, highly recommend!

This is good coffee and I received it According to the plan!

good flavor and price

The coffee is great (I bought the chicory flavor, which I got hooked on in New Orleans). The only disappointment, though, was that the packaging is not the re-sealable kind that I'm used to and have received in the past. I'm used to the bags where you can roll the top down and it has the plastic-encased metal tab that you fold over on the ends to keep it rolled down. With that type, too, it's usually a single bag and it's easy to pour the coffee out. This packaging looks similar, but there's a separate outer red bag and an inner foil bag. It's difficult to pour the coffee out without half of it getting between the two bags, it isn't really set up to open cleanly and roll back down (maybe it will work better once the bag is emptier), and there's not a metal tab to fold over to hold it closed. In short, the packaging is very inconvenient - maybe it's meant to pour it into some other sort of container for use once you open it, but that probably wouldn't keep it as fresh. This was a 16 ounce package, and the previous ones were 12 ounces, so maybe there's a difference in the packaging between the two sizes. It would help if they flagged this in the product description. Again - the coffee itself is great, as it has been in the past. It's just the packaging that's a problem and a major irritation until I use up this bag.

Has a very smooth taste none of the bitterness.

Love it.

I Thought It Was Gonna Come In Like A Coffee Can,But It Didn't. It Was Easy To Store In My Freezer The Way It Was
