A liqueur that tastes like coffee…a coffee that tastes like a liqueur…Kahlúa’s driving people all sorts of loco with their new adventure into the coffee world. A little less than a month ago, Timothy’s World Coffee banned together with Kahlúa to produce the new Kahlúa Original K-Cup. Like any naturally curious person, surely you must be wondering if after consuming a couple cups of this new coffee whether or not you’ll be slurring your words and falling off your desk chair? If your hopes were high then I’m sorry to report: no, there is no alcohol in this beverage.
Boasting a heavy aroma and a taste full of notes such as rum, vanilla, and caramel, this coffee certainly set itself up for its consumers to have extremely high expectations. At a close nose-to-cup encounter it smells like butterscotch syrup and tastes pretty close to that same aroma. A full-bodied cup crafted only out of the finest Arabica beans leaves a pleasurable, sweet aftertaste. Actually, adding sugar to the cup didn’t do anything to enhance the flavor; it’s pretty tasty all on its own.
Overall, it’s not exactly what you’d imagine Kahlúa to taste like in coffee form, but as a new Timothy’s K-Cup it definitely hits the spot. A great new addition such as this one to the land of flavored coffees makes me wonder who will be the next single serve coffee packaging manufacturer to capitalize on this intelligent crossover between two heavenly/guilty pleasures. Try this as an iced coffee. Delish! Available now at extraordinary low prices on www.CoffeeRocket.com.
