[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 beans have traveled from Kenya to Sweden, to the United States, to my mouth, and hers.

– So, today we’re reviewing Gevalia Coffee’s Special Reserve Single Origin Kenya Fine Ground Coffee.

– You forgot source.

– Oh, sorry, Single Origin Source Kenya Fine Ground Coffee.

– That’s a lot of words on the front of the package.

– It is, and it’s supposed to be a mild-to-medium, see this like, this second dot, so it promises to be, let’s see. It has winy undertones, lively acidity. On the front, it says delicate floral with deep berry undertones.

– Mm-hmm. So, a lot of things that the bag says.

– The berry underlings. Who are the berry underlings? Would be like the…

– Underlings.

– Huckleberry.

– Are you talking about undertones?

– You said under, undertones I was talking about underlings.

– The evil berries, they’re different.

– Okay, well, anyway.

– I was trying to think, which berries would be the evil ones? No, probably none.

– Anyway, okay, so, let’s talk about price.

– Uh-huh, it was a 10-ounce bag, and it was on sale, but typically it’s about $8.39 for the bag, for 10 ounce. So that takes it to 13 and a half dollars a pound, so that’s a fairly pricey cup of coffee.

– Yeah, pretty pricey coffee, yeah.

– Bag of coffee.

– Yeah, you always have to like look out for is it a 10-ounce bag, or a 12-ounce bag, ’cause it matters.

– But we got this one buy-one-get-one-free, so that makes it even better.

– Yeah, yeah.

– So let’s see what we think about the taste and flavor.

– The smell, especially of the grounds, were like really rich and chocolatey.

– Yeah, I thought so too. _ Yeah, even Ezra thought so.

– And this does smell like that a little bit, too.

– He’s our 10-year old. Eleven.

– He’s 11.

– He’s 11, yeah.

– He’s been 11 for like eight months.

– Anyway, I don’t know that I get berry. Do you get berry? I don’t.

– It seems like I’m getting some sort of…

– Like a dream of blueberry.

– Fruity underlaying But yeah, maybe it’s just because I read it on the bag, but…

– Yeah.

– I don’t know about berry. I don’t know what kind of berry they’re talking about.

– Yeah, now floral I could maybe get behind, because it’s a little bit floral, but, hmm. We did taste this completely black. Are you drinking yours with sugar?

– Now it has a little bit of sugar in it.

– Yeah, and I always take cream with mine, but we did try it completely black. And I would say it was pretty pleasant.

– Yeah.

– Just black. Like, I could drink that just black. I won’t, but I could.

– Right, but we do our reviews like ordinary Americans would drink coffee, and I think most Americans put some sugar or put some cream in their coffee, so–

– I think I looked that up. And like 35% drink it black, so I think that’s right. Anyway.

– My older brother is one that I know, and he gets mad if you drink it without putting anything in it

– Yeah, so, let’s see, so the rating, though. What would we say?

– ‘Cause it’s pretty expensive coffee.

– It’s pretty expensive, yeah.

– And that goes into, count, what am I saying?

– Take, we take it into account.

– Into consideration, yeah, oh, that’s the word, when we’re trying to come up with the donut rating, Because, you know, it matters.

– It does, yeah.

– So, typically it’s a pretty expensive, or on a higher end price.

– Three?

– Yeah.

– Yeah.

– I think so. So three donuts out of five, and then you guessed right. Like I’m the be-all and end-all on that. But it’s good coffee.

– It is, yeah.

– If you’re at the store and you see some Gevalia Kenya, pick it up.

– Yeah, especially if it’s on sale, grab some of that.

– Yeah, get some B-O-G-O going, all right.

– Yeah.
