    Yummy, yummy coffee, Vanilla/Carmel

    I absolutely love this product. I unfortunately used it too much and developed an ulcer. No worries, that is me and my obsession with this product, vanilla/carmel. It blends easily and tastes like the most delicious coffee I’ve ever tasted. I also, love their Swiss mocha coffee as well. Great product and price.

    Tastes great any time of the day.

    I love the vanilla caramel flavor. I never liked coffee and lost the taste for tea. It is a great way to start the day or relaxing to end the evening. You can even drink it chilled! Best yet , cheaper than those drive thru drinks.
