[spoiler title=’Click here to read the transcript. ‘ style=’default’ collapse_link=’true’]- Hey! Welcome to Coffee Coffee Coffee! Your place for Average Joe coffee reviews. Today’s coffee is classified as fresh and springy, just like my skin.

– So today we are reviewing Caribou Coffee’s Lakeshore Blend, and it’s a medium roast. It’s supposed to be fresh and springy, like you mentioned, and it’s Rainforest Alliance Certified, which is cool, and also they have that guarantee, the money-back guarantee.

– If it’s not fresh.

– If it’s not fresh or if you just don’t enjoy it. Yeah, so Caribou is a brand that is near and dear to my heart, just ’cause it’s awesome coffee, and so pretty solid brand. I think there’s been one blend that we don’t we don’t particularly care for. Everything else has been really good.

– It was Costa Rica we didn’t really care for.

– Yeah, but other than that, really good coffee. Price-wise though, it is a little bit more expensive. For a 12-ounce bag, we paid…

– Seven something, $7.28.

– Yeah, $7.28, so it’s a little bit more expensive.

– It’s in the mid-range.

– A couple more bucks than you pay for, say Folgers.

– Right, normally a lot better.

– Yeah, a whole lot better.

– We’ll find out about this one to see if it is. So, Lakeshore Blend, I wonder if they use water from a lake.

– I don’t think so.

– No?

– No.

– Not one of the lakes around here; that’s for sure.

– There’s nothing wrong with our lakes.

– I wouldn’t drink the water. Mmm. Mmm.

– Yeah, so it smells good.

– Just seeing if I can make a funny sound while sniffing.

– Hmm, okay.

– Story of my life!

– Mmm. This is good; I like it. It’s definitely a taste, some nuttiness. And… in the end, I kind of taste a caramely… Like nutty at first and then a little bit caramel, caramelized afterwards.

– Yeah, after you swallow it and you’ve got that in your mouth still, like the coating, it’s caramely, for sure.

– You probably need to brush your teeth if you’ve got that coating in there.

-I didn’t say it was furry.

– But, yeah, I enjoyed this a lot. I would give it four out of five doughnuts. Would you give it four?

– Yes, four.

– Would you go more?

– You wouldn’t go higher than that? You, I mean. I think I would still say four.

– Yeah, I think four, a solid four. Yeah, a solid four. It’s good, yeah. The thing is, the reason why I don’t go higher than that is because nutty isn’t my favorite profile. Like chocolatey is more, like chocolatey and rich, that’s where I prefer so, yeah. So this is really good but that’s why not four and a half.

– Yeah, but if Caribou is a brand that you like or dislike for a reason, do you have a story you’d like to share?

– Yeah.

– Then let us know in the comments below and get a conversation going about Caribou’s coffee.

– Caribou coffee, yeah.

– Do you have anything else to share on this magnificent coffee?

– No, just that I like Caribou Coffee.

– Alright, well thanks for joining us again, and until next time…

– Keep grindin’.
