[spoiler title=’Click for transcript’ style=’default’ collapse_link=’true’]hey welcome to coffee coffee coffee your place for average Joe coffee reviews today’s coffee is not just any other coffee but it is a whole bean coffee yes it is it’s Rio Grande Rio Grande sorry Rio Grande Roasters whole bean pinon and actually I think I said that with a French accent yeah either way it’s where the Southwest people are from France I’ll tell you something about this whole bean coffee mm-hmm whole bean makes it really difficult to drink okay no so okay quickly we’ll tell you a little bit about yeah there’s a story behind it right yeah I’ll recap it we got it from Walmart.com and the reason why it’s whole bean is because Walmart.com messed up and sent us whole beans so then I got on the little chat and I talked to the person and I said they sent us the wrong thing and they said oh please being we will do the sending of the coffees to your places of housings and so they sent the next coffee and it came whole bean again so then the next person I chatted with at Walmart.com was very kind and they refunded our money and they said please being the ordering of on Walmart in the futures and I said okay you know no worries but anyway long story short we had to borrow a grinder yep from one of our listeners they were kind enough to fly in and give us the grinder to use for a couple of days that is not true at all your mom let us borrow hers it’s true so we did that and we ground up this coffee but we now have two bags of this coffee and one of them we are going to give away to a lucky watcher yeah viewer yeah yes so just comment below yeah you can comment if you’re on like YouTube yeah or Facebook or the website you’ll be entered into the pot either way I think you can comment on our website yes yes you can do that and we’ll enter you in and then we’ll do a drawing and then we’ll ship you the coffee right okay are you ready to so the a second funny part of the story is we had all this trouble getting in here we finally got the grinder and we finally like got it all prepared and we realize pinon is Spanish for pine nut it’s a flavored of coffee so we were pretty disappointed yeah they liked the two flavored coffees we have reviewed so far see again the reviewed word you’re watching in the past episodes we didn’t like the hazelnut eight o’clock and the French vanilla Dollar Tree was okay but especially for the price it was great yeah but yeah so yeah it’s a hundred percent Arabica coffee but then you have the artificial flavors and natural flavors mm-hmm but yeah would you like… the company mmm yeah Rio Grande Roasters started out as Victor Allen coffee and then they have rebranded themselves to trilliant and then they have a whole bunch of different lines of coffee nothing we had ever heard of so no yeah but and it was started out as a micro roaster back in this 70s so one thing we’re wondering is if they don’t just roast the same beans and then brand them in different places but anyway then we’ll get into the tasting review a light to medium roast but then it’s also supposed to taste like pine nut so there you go yeah I’ve never eaten pine nuts I have they’re good when I sniff the coffee I smell a play-doh or cheap play-doh actually it’s not real play-doh it’s what was the stuff that they used to get in my school off-brand play-doh whatever that was called yes he’s like uh I don’t know what they called it yeah they probably just spelled play-doh weird rose art play-doh anyway I will say about this coffee I’m just not a flavored coffee fan so just overall I’m underwhelmed overall I’m underwhelmed that’s a nice turn of phrase but yeah I don’t like if you want flavored coffee if you want it something to taste like vanilla just put a few drops of vanilla extract into your coffee just directly into your coffee just a couple of drops you’ve got flavored coffee without all the artificial-ness it’s a good idea mm-hmm that’s what I do when I’m craving it but I rarely am yeah no we haven’t been down that road as far as craving the flavored coffee yeah once you go to like coffee coffee and you really like it I don’t think you some people do what we will have to do is as we get close to the holidays well pumpkin and peppermint we’re gonna have to peppermint could be good we’re gonna have to try them mm-hmm yeah but all for you guys but overall we we wouldn’t buy it again yeah not for mm-hmm any reason yeah yeah just what yeah especially because price was $6.98 a bag that’s right yeah yeah that’s too much for this coffee I agree you can get Dollar Tree coffee for a lot less and to me it’s just as good yeah yeah I think so yeah so uh to find out about more reviews head on over to our website coffee coffee coffee show.com and there you can also click on our social media links Facebook Instagram and YouTube and you can comment anywhere just to to let us know what you’re thinking right yeah if you’ve tried this coffee let us know
