[spoiler title=’Click 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 just plain vanilla today we are reviewing a Starbucks vanilla yes which is naturally flavored which is different than a lot of the other flavored coffees we reviewed I think maybe the hazelnut Dollar Tree roast naturally flavored but everything else is artificial flavored and we don’t tend to like flavored coffees anyway right but this was recently recommended on our youtube channel by a viewer to try it and I got clarification as to which one they wanted and I saw it at Walmart and so we picked it up yeah so it’s supposed to be velvety and rich and it is their lightest roast with vanilla flavors so its real vanilla not the fake stuff right so actually it’s interesting how its worded it says made without artificial flavors right yeah it doesn’t say naturally flavored well it does say with other natural flavors right you know so but they’re just wanting you to know and then it smells great mm-hmm I could just smell it all day long I just want to sprinkle it around the RV and just have it be smelling like that all the time yeah so here’s what you need to do if you ever have an open house and you’re selling a house right instead of putting vanilla on a light bulb or baking cookies or whatever get a bag like this and just brew a pot of it and let it like yeah I know because it makes everything smell wonderful yeah but we don’t tend to like flavored coffees again you know if I’m gonna go for a flavored thing I’m gonna do it myself with my own like you know vanilla extract or whatever the thing is one thing I will point out there is a thing on the side of here that vanilla mocha joy it says brew the Starbucks vanilla flavored coffee coat a mug with two tablespoons of chocolate syrup that sounds good I’m there yeah dump out the coffee and just drink the syrup it doesn’e say that so step two it was coat with the the chocolate then pour in six ounces of the coffee stir in three tablespoons of half-and-half topped with whipped cream and drizzled with more chocolate syrup if you like if you like sounds like something I might get on board with yeah we didn’t try that maybe we should yeah but you know let’s let’s talk about the actual taste now now the price again with Starbucks you’re gonna be paying a little bit more like it’s it was 698 for an 11 ounce bag which is 10 what a $10.18 or $10.15 a pound yeah so I mean it’s not super expensive it’s not like a micro roaster but it’s not super cheap either it’s just you know it’s a little bit more yeah a little bit more yeah then like Gevalia or something like that and I just don’t like it I don’t know do you like no you know because we don’t like flavored coffee yeah I mean now as far as other flavored coffees we tasted I’d say this is better than them yeah that’s exactly what I was gonna say it’s like out of the other coffees we’ve tasted I think this one’s the best yeah a lot of times the flavored coffees have kind of chemically mmm flavor and that’s what it is chemicals yeah and this is much more like this actually does remind me of when I add vanilla extract to my regular coffee this is the kind of flavor so I will give them that like I bet the Starbucks people went to Madagascar fought off the animals and got some vanilla beans and scraped them into here yeah do you roast vanilla beans I don’t think I think they roast the coffee and then they add the flavoring so we should probably look that up but yeah so I mean it’s just you know I think it’s just flavored coffees maybe we shouldn’t review flavored coffees because I always feel like oh man we just never liked them yeah because if somebody likes flavored coffees and they’re looking for our review about it yeah they’re not gonna go for it yeah you maybe my brother who likes flavored coffees we’ll start a coffee channel just on flavored coffees and we’ll see yeah now on donut rating what would you put it that’s so difficult because I don’t want to buy it again so I can’t give it more than a three but the problem is like we said is that if you compared it to other flavored coffees and most of them are vanilla like most of the flavored coffees you see are vanilla it it’s better than those yeah so I think maybe I would give it a three but I don’t know if I’d buy it again just because we don’t like right yeah yeah because it’s not real bitter or anything which sometimes Starbucks can kind of be bitter to me yeah actually as far as Starbucks is concerned it’s maybe easier to drink then most of the other ones that we’ve tried yeah but and that’s the thing about a lot of flavored coffees is it can’t you you have to get rid of some of the coffee flavor and add in some of the vanilla flavor and I just i’ve preferred just coffee flavor I think so yeah but anyway I’m a three I think so I think that’s fair but we wouldn’t buy it again no and that’s like we said just based on the fact that we don’t really like flavored coffees right except for like the Halloween one that we did there maybe this Halloween we’ll do another maybe an updated version of the same coffee we made because I just wanted to make that coffee man Jameson Irish whiskey in there oh yeah anyway if you’ve had this Starbucks I thought it was a new one yeah because somebody recommended it and I thought it was new but apparently it’s been around for several years but if you’ve had this Starbucks vanilla flavored ground coffee with other natural flavors let us know in the comments below what you thought about it and if you have any suggestions on how to make it taste better yeah we forgot to mention that we brewed this in a different way the flavored coffees tend to when you make them in your automatic coffeemaker leave a you know their flavor yeah all over the coffee maker which is another reason we really don’t like a flavored coffee right and because we don’t have a dishwasher so if we have to wash the filter basket it’s like you got to try to get down into all those little things to get everything cleaned out of there and still it seems like it doesn’t quite get the flavor out it so the way that I I made this you can look on our Instagram page about it but I put a coffee filter and I strapped it to the top of a Pyrex glass measuring cup and then put the coffee grounds in the filter and then heated up water in our electric kettle and then poured it over there kind of like a pour over right I guess yeah well and also we should mention we did drink this before in the automatic drip so we we know you know it’s the same i certainly have the same feelings about it in fact I think I like this better better yeah um but yeah so for that was the neat little way to try to do a pour over I’m sure people will be like that’s not the right way to do a pour over we know it’s just you know you do what you can with what you got yeah but anyway if you’ve liked this video be sure to like it comment you know your information or suggestions below and be sure to subscribe and hit the bell so you get notified when we put out a new video or we go live and until next time keep grindin [/spoiler]
