[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 Fair Trade certified. Are we certifiable for drinking it?

– So today we are reviewing Barissimo, is that how you say it? Barissimo.

– Barissimo.

– There you go.

– And you have to, Barissimo. You have to yell it at somebody.

– Is that an Italian word? He’s like 51% fluent.

– According to Duolingo.

– So Fair Trade Certified Medium Roast, from Aldi.

– Right.

– This is one we’ve heard a lot about or at least this line of coffee is one a lot of people have said, hey Barissimo Coffee from Aldi. So, we’re trying out several.

– Yeah, people that recommend it or that mention it, never really say a roast they just say Barissimo. They have that face. But no, they just say try the Barissimo coffee at Aldi and I thought that it was just one kind of coffee. Until I went there and I found like 12 different roasts.

– Yeah, there’s a lot and they’re cheap. They’re only like, what was this one? Like, $4.

– I have the receipt right here. That is probably one of the Fair Trade ones, 3.99 a bag.

– 3.99 for a 12 ounce bag. So it’s cheap coffee. So, the question is, is it any good?

– Yeah, that’s always the question.

– Yeah.

– But even more so when it’s cheap.

– Yes.

– We really want to know. And when it’s expensive.

– Right, yes.

– I’ve got my coffee over there and Kayla will hand it to me. Why thank you.

– You’re welcome.

– Plain white mug. Hey that’s a–

– And my beautiful mug.

– That’s right. That’s a good band name.

– Actually it’s the, Habersham County Chamber of Commerce.

– But to them that’s–

– Oh yeah, they don’t know. Yeah. Habersham County, represent.

– Yeah. All 19,000 people.

– So, this one really smells good to me which is, like when I smell I’m like, oh this is gonna be a really good cup of coffee.

– It’s like, it’s like one of those commercials.

– But–

– Is that like on Elf? Does he do that with hot chocolate?

– Oh, yeah he does that.

– I don’t remember.

– Yeah, but the smell is pretty much where the pleasure of it ends for me.

– Yeah. There’s a big bean taste for sure.

– Bean, yeah.

– Beans, beans, they’re good for your heart. I’ll end there.

-Yeah, thanks. Kind of, there’s this earthy taste. My mouth feels dry when I’m drinking this coffee. Which I don’t like.

– Yeah, even when you’re drinking it.

– Yeah.

– Like, you’ve got the liquid in your mouth and it’s like, I’m having, it’s like that cinnamon test.

– What?

– You try to eat a spoonful of cinnamon.

– I’ve never tried that before.

– Me neither, I’m not that risky. Daring.

– No, you’re not.

– But it is, it’s dry like all the time, even when you’re drinking it.

– Yeah, yeah. I just, yeah, I don’t enjoy it overall. I mean, for such a cheap bag, that’s why I think I would give it two out of five.

– Yeah, I agree.

– Yeah like, if it were a more expensive coffee it would be less than two but since it’s so cheap I’ll give it some leeway.

– There’s a little bit of a, like an overdone, caramel flavor to it.

– Yeah, yeah like a little bit burnt. But yeah, that the dry mouth–

– Like, you better watch that caramel don’t let it sit too, ah, just scrape it up and put it in that coffee. That’s what I think happened.

– Okay, right.

– Yeah.

– Yeah.

– Overall I think two donuts out of five. Bing.

– Yeah.

– That’s when they showed up on the screen.

– Oh okay. Would you buy it again, no.

– No, I don’t think even for $4 there was another one, for the same price that’s like, hey just get that one.

– Right, was it the Guatemalan one?

– Yeah, the Guatemalan Barissimo we liked.

– Yeah.

– But yeah, so.

– Yeah, so this one is a pass.

– Pass. Pass, like that old man TV thing, pass. Right?

– Yeah.

– That’s right. So, anyway thanks for joining us again for another coffee review here on Coffee, Coffee, Coffee. We look forward to hearing your comments about other things as well as this thing.
