K-cup review: Van Houtte Creme Caramel

It smelled so good brewing too. It had all that sweet rich smell that I expected out of something labelled creme caramel. And then? The first sip?

Nothing. It gave up all its flavour in the smell and none of it in the tasting. So disappointing. Once I got past that, it was an adequate cup of coffee, but nothing special and barely flavoured. Woe. Woe woe.

K-cup review: Van Houtte Creme brulee

Alright, I had hoped I'd like this.. but I didn't. It's just not very good. It's not sweet or creamy, there's not much smell to it, there's just not much of anything to it beyond a kinda enh cup of coffee. It is for flavours like this that sound so promising and I just don't like that I'm keeping these records. I'm certain someone out there things its awesomesauce, but I am not that person.

K-cup review: Gloria Jean's Mudslide

I was expecting a lot out of a coffee named 'Mudslide', with the creamy alcoholic drink of the same name resonating in my thoughts, I took a sip. Yeah. Nothing. Not exciting, not creamy, Kahlua inspired. Perhaps I've been spoiled by Timothy's Kahlua coffee pods, but this one just didn't match up to expectations. Perhaps when I try it again there might be more oomph.

I probably should have known better. I'm not a huge fan of chocolate coffee (although I keep drinking it in optimism that someday it'll be how my taste buds hope) and I'm not big fan of almond in my coffee.

Put the two together? It's enh. It's not terrible, but it's not for me. I hope I didn't order too many of them.
