Day 3 of Coffee Advent is here. I think that might need to be the official name for the season this year: Coffee Advent.
Coffee Advent has been Hit or Miss this year, so far: Day 1, a Candy Cane blend, was surprisingly tasty. Day 2, a Spiced Eggnog blend, was just as surprisingly dull. I'm hoping to get above .500 today.
Yes, a Sugar Cookie coffee today! I am not one to normally drink sweet coffee; honestly, in fact, I prefer coffee black and bitter, but I can handle a little bit of sugar if necessary. And, truth be told, I do like a good sugar cookie. The question, now, is if this sugar cookie makes the transition to coffee.
Here are my thoughts:
Coffee Name: Sugar Cookie Coffee
Roast Degree: Light-Medium
Grind Type: K-Cup
Flavour: Sugar Cookie
Paired With: no pairings or additives
Brew Method: Drip brew
Taste (1-10): 7
- Sweet: 7
- Acidic: 3
- Floral: 1
- Spicy: 1
- Salty: 1
- Berry Fruit: 1
- Citrus Fruit: 1
- Stone Fruit: 1
- Chocolate: 1
- Caramel: 1
- Smoky: 3
- Bitter: 5
- Savory: 1
- Body: 5
- Clean: 6
- Linger/Finish: 6
All in all, this was a tasty coffee today. The roast was a light-medium with an obvious sweetener added to provide the sugar cookie flavour.
What I enjoyed about this brew over yesterday's is that, despite being sweet, it was still somewhat better; one could taste the coffee in it, and it wasn't smooth like a cup of hot chocolate. It finished clean and didn't have a heavy or un-appetising after taste; in fact, it was a pleasant drink to start the day and one that I would not argue against if it cropped up again.
I am the only one in the house who drinks coffee. I know what I normally like and pretty much stick with it all the time when I'm not experimenting with making my own recipes. This particular advent calendar is a neat way to expand my coffee horizons. Hopefully we're on an upward trend and will continue to get to more coffee's I enjoy over those I do not!
