Caribou Coffee Mahogany Roast Review


[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. This review smells of rich mahogany. – So today we’re reviewing Caribou Coffee’s mahogany roast, which is a dark roast, much like mahogany is a dark wood. And it’s supposed to be woodsy and rich. It just works out all around, although … – I wonder if it’s made of mahogany. – Yeah, I don’t think so, but I’ve never really heard woodsy, so … – Yeah. You know, we’ll see. – I’ve heard of a guy being woodsy. – Yeah, but as related to food, not so much. – Yeah, except for maybe that boy scout dinner. – Yeah. What? – Is that what it’s called? Hobo dinner. – Hobo dinner. – Same difference, boy scouts, hobos. – Yeah. Well, anyway, Caribou Coffee. Rainforest alliance certified 100%. They do have a 100% satisfaction guarantee. So. I love the bag. I know I said that on another one but I just love the way it feels. – Yeah, their bags have neat designs and and they’re … – And a nice touch. – Yeah, and you can’t see it, but on the bag, I don’t know if you can tell, but all those little lines, those lines are like on a map, so if you’re out hiking, adventuring, they’re topographical lines– – I didn’t know that. – And that’s what their whole thing is, is says they wanted to give their coffee so that you could leave their coffee shop and go and have it whether you’re camping, you’re hike-packing? – I don’t think that’s a thing. – Hitchhiking? – That’s even worse. – Well, it actually says, “hitchhiking across the country.” – Dangerous. – But that’s what that is, I just realized that those are the topographical map. – Didn’t realize that. – So neat. Never been to one of their coffee shops, I don’t even know if they’re around here. – Yeah, and so far we’ve really liked Caribou Coffee. There’s been one that we were not a fan of, but otherwise, really strong brand, so … – This was $8 for the bag, right? – Yeah, $8-ish for the bag, and we feel like it’s worth it. – So it’s one that even if it’s not on sale, I’m like, oh but it’s Caribou Coffee, so I’m gonna get it. – Might as well get it, yeah, except for now we buy a lot of coffees that are we don’t know. Until now, and you’ll know about mahogany. See what you think about it. I have Kayla’s mug. – Yeah, and I have my own mug. This is also mine. Well, I don’t know. It’s all community property. – That’s my mustache mug. – That’s my mustache mug. – I won it in a game of bingo … – You don’t have a mustache … – Several years ago at my sister’s house. I think. – I do. That’s true. It was at Thanksgiving. – Yeah, Thanksgiving. – No, wait. You didn’t win it. You won it and then somebody took it from you. – That’s right. – And then your sister-in-law gave it to you as a gift at Christmas. – That’s right, she was so sweet. Okay. Well. But the question is, is this coffee any good? – Mm-hmm. – It is good. Oh, so good. – It’s a good one. – Mm-hmm. It is rich, and I don’t know if I’d call it woodsy, but it’s rich. – Now, I know how I feel about the medium roast that is currently our favorite versus this one. How do you feel? – I think I still like the medium roast better, which surprises me because I tend to like a darker roast, but that medium roast is a nice little … – Yeah. – Yeah, rich, yeah. – I feel the same way. So that’s what I was thinking about with the rating of this one, we couldn’t give it the full five donuts because … – Four and a half. – Yeah, I guess it’s going to have to be four and a half donuts because it is really good. – Yeah, it’s really good. – But it’s not right up there at the very top. – Yeah, I really like it though. I had it this morning and again this morning for my first two cups, so it’s really good. – Yeah. Well, there you have it, four and a half donuts on the Caribou Mahogany. – Yep. How many roasts do they have, do we know? – When I look for pictures of the bags to put on the thumbnails here, I’ve seen a couple of others that we haven’t tried, but I don’t know in total how many. – Yeah, well, we’ll see. – Whenever we find them available, or we may just hit up their website, see what we can find. – All right. – Anything else on this one? – I don’t think so. – All right, well, until next time … – Keep grindin’. – [J.R.] Hey, thanks for watching our reviews.
